Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[airbrushtour]

I've installed the Better Together files meticulously and followed the instructions. My problem is that my custom skin - clean_business doesn't have a /templates/ folder in it.

So I created one then copied the template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php as well as the tpl_better_together_marketing.php file into it. So now they are both in both places with the customized code according to your instructions.

Yet, it's still not working - I've gone all the way to the checkout page - but it's not there.

Hints? Clues?

Thanks

Directory you want is not /templates but rather includes/templates/<your template>/templates. If template_default is your template, then it would be includes/templates/template_default/templates.

hihi,


i have installed it and place the template properly.

the details are showing up when choose to purchase the items as shown by demo

however, when i checkout, the changes are NOT reflected as the Discount under Better Together ?

what can be done ?
thanks

[swguy]

If you have purchased both items, and turned on better together in your admin panel and you're still not seeing a discount on the second page of checkout, you've installed it incorrectly.

[newfu]

yes, i am aware somewhere has been installed incorrectly.

but i have followed every steps so far as stated in the readme, including your online sites one.

what do u think will most likely to be the problems ?

Hey all

so from what i've read there is no current way to take the discounted price and then apply shipping?

i'm having the same problem for example:

users buy 2 items on buy one get one free, both items cost £10 and free shipping is £20.

so these people are getting free shipping because the delivery charge is applied pre discount.

is it just a question of swapping two lines round or a much bigger fix?

Did search.... but seems that the phrase "better together" is "too common"

we would like to have a cross marketing

where if you buy two related items together,
there is 20% taken off the total....

Installed better together in my test store....
module shows as installed.....

edited line of code in ot_better_together.php to read

$this->add_cat_to_cat(3, 4, "%", 20);


3 and 4 are the master catagories.....

But when the items are added to the cart and checkout begins,... nothing happens...

What am I missing?

Now.... We are on an older version of Zen Cart 1.3.0.2

Yes...I know.... working on the upgrade...but that is a bit down the road....

could the old version be the problem?

[exeter_acres]

Doing more reading and now not sure if better together can even do what we want........


Here is what we are looking for....

if you buy a product from catagory 3... it is regular price

if you buy a product from catagory 4... it is regular price...


but if you buy any combo of products one from each catagory, we take 20% off the total of the BOTH... not just one....


Will better together do this? Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!!

Thanks for all of your awesome mods swguy!!!

I am trying to add a $ discount on products, giving a discount of 30 cents. I have it as:

$this->add_cat_to_cat(6_7, 6_59, "$", .30);

but it gives an error, it seems to not like the .30. How do I go about adding it correctly?

Thanks again !!

Matt

Just use the actual parent category numbers:

$this->add_cat_to_cat(7, 59, "$", .30);
