Quantity Discounts for 1.3

[nexhex]

Hello All,

I would like to have Quantity Discounts only available for an admin account. Just wondering how to code....

I'm using our ZenCart install for our retail side as well, so I need to be able to offer discounts for our Retail Customers. So when I log on, I would create an order and complete the checkout process just like an online customer. At this time, we don't offer discounts globally and the Quantity Discounts mod is what we are looking for.

Thanks in advance for any input.

SW Guy thank you for the awesome add on it is definately needes (as well as some of your other contributions).

I was wondering if you could help with my predicatment.

I have your module on a dog collar site. This site sells dog collars and swatches. The swatches attach to the dog collar to give it a new look so they are accessories.

I want to offer a $1 off discount if someone purchases a swatch with a collar. (The collar comes with two fee swatches) so it's worded they get their third swatch for $1 off.

I have two categories:
1. Collars (all come with two included swatches)
2. Swatches (have their own prices including a (+1.00) attribute for larger sizes).

When someone orders a collar (that comes with two included swatches) and then they add another seperate swatch we want to give them $1.00 off. Is this possible with this module? I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to cross these categories (if that's what I have to do). I don't want to offer $1 of their second collar (if they order two collars out of that category).

Also I don't know if this is possible with this add on or if I need another from you, but we also want to offer a: Get your 11th swatch for free (after they purchase 10 swatches they get the 11th for free).

Is this possible and if so do you any ideas as to how to set this up?

You can't do any of this with Quantity Discounts.

[sports guy]

Do you have a paid module that does?

Please email me. I would have contacted you but you have turned off both PMs and email, which is probably not what you want if you're asking questions on a forum.

I'm running into problems where the discount is not calculated correctly under some random circumstances. I currently have it set to give a 20% discount if 2 items are purchased, a 30% discount if 3 items are purchased, a 40% discount if 4 items are purchased and a 50% discount if 5 items are purchased. On a few random occasions, a person will by 5 items, but only receive a 20% OR 30% discount, or somewhere in between. For example, I just had a sale where the customer bought 4 items which should have qualified them for a 40% discount. The items totaled $55.96 USD. The quantity discount given was $10.79 which works out to be about a 19.3% discount. Since I've been monitoring this over the last 2 days, it's happened a handful of time, while still working correctly most of the time. Why in the world would this happen?

P.S. - There were no other coupons or discounts involved.

Upon further discovery, it looks like it's just randomly not calculating one of the items purchased. It's not one specific item as that item will work fine for others. In the above example, The person purchased 4 things which should have given them a 40% discount, but it didn't count one of the items (which cost $9.99), thus only giving them a 30% discount on the 3 items, but charging full price on the 4th. Any ideas?

Are you using category based discounting, and if so have you checked the master category id field of the item in question?

Brilliant. It was supposed to be set to calculate by total items in cart. A minor detail that made a major difference. Thanks!

Zen-Cart 1.3.8
quantity_discount version 1.8

It works fine but I get a strange display as you can see in the attachment.

Is there an error in the php?

    function process() {
       global $db, $order, $currencies;
       $od_amount = $this->calculate_deductions();
       if ($od_amount['total'] > 0) {
         reset($order->info['tax_groups']);
         while (list($key, $value) = each($order->info['tax_groups'])) {
           $tax_rate = zen_get_tax_rate_from_desc($key);
           if ($od_amount[$key]) {
             $order->info['tax_groups'][$key] -= $od_amount[$key];
             $order->info['total'] -=  $od_amount[$key];
           }
         }
         $order->info['total'] = $order->info['total'] - $od_amount['total'];
         $this->title = '<a href="javascript:alert(\'' . $this->explanation . '\');">' . $this->title . '</a>'; 
         $this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
         'text' => '-' . $currencies->format($od_amount['total'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
         'value' => $od_amount['total']);
   
       }
    } 

Because the text that one can read:

<a href="javascript:alert( inside the box should not be there.
Hoeveelheidskorting:'> is under the box and only Hoeveelheidskorting: has has to displayed and in the box.

Furthermore and that is the big problem <a href="javascript:alert( triggers a Forbidden page on the server when I want change the status of the order. Removing the ( fixes it.
Also I have to type a - in front of the amount or it will add the discount in stead of deducting it.

So far I always fix it manually but if it would be automatic, it would be nicer.
