exemption to global qty discount

[redxiii]

Here's basically the scenario.

All products of all categories have one price to follow. Say, $2.

Except for one product, the customized product. The category it belongs has no other product except it. And it's worth, say, $20.

Now my problem is, how do I set a typical global quantity discount (using that downloadable module or something else) to all products except that customized one?

I tried changing lines inside ot_qty_discount.php but I am still confused.

Will appreciate anything.

Okay, stupid me. I just found out that there's a newer version of the Global Quantity Discount module, version 1.2.034 out there and I've been using the ol' 1.0. So this new module says it can disable the discount for categories of choice. I tried checking the Custom category and placed 10 items in cart including the custom one, but no discount occured.

Funny, this module's Disable for Categories doesn't exclude a particular category on the checkout list but rather no discount will be offered as long as one of the products in the cart belong to the Disable for Categories.

I have some screenshots here when I tested the module in default test shop of Zencart.

Anyone still using this module? Please help.

I have just loaded this module and it seems to work OK.

The discounts are applied at check out.

Yes it does when only you specified the category and ordered number of products from that category only and no ther order from other category. But try to more products from other categories which are not exempted from discounts. Then click chec out. You will see the problem. I am also experiencing this problem no and it doesnt really work.

It has something to do here...

function check_process_ok() {
$return = true;...

if (MODULE_QTY_DISCOUNT_DISABLED_CATEGORIES != '') {
$excluded_categories = explode(', ', MODULE_QTY_DISCOUNT_DISABLED_CATEGORIES);

foreach ($GLOBALS['order']->products as $product) {
foreach ($excluded_categories as $excluded_category) {
if (zen_product_in_category($product['id'], $excluded_category)) {
$return = false;
break 2;
}
}
}
}

try to make a analysis.... I think this is how it goes.... for each product loop then for each excluded category then loop. if found one then return false.... so i think that's the problem... you will stop and return false when you found exluded category.

From where the function is called, which is:
function process() {
if (!$this->check_process_ok()) {
return false;
}....

from the start of the function it will globally exclude all categories if function check_process_ok() returned false, even if you select only one category. and will compute for the discount for global categories or all categories if it returned true.

This might be confusing but try it. Order product to different categories. With one product belonged to excluded categories.

Quantity Discounts version 1.1 allows you to target discounting on a per category basis. See
