Your setup function should be this:

function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(425,426, "%" , 50);
}

Delete anything else you have and paste this in.

If it doesn't work, you have done something wrong and you need to put an ad in commercial help wanted for someone to install it for you.

Thanks. From your answer I could see where I was going wrong.

I just installed this and running on test site for now.

I'm using this discount link:
$this->add_cat_to_cat(4, 5, "%", 50);
Buy 1 item in category 4 and get 50% off an item in category 5.

Seems to work good, apart from:

One of my items in category 4 has a master category of 9 and is linked to category 4.

If I browse to that item via 'category 4' I get the discount message.

No discounts are applied if I add the item and an item from category 5 to my cart and the discount message does not appear if I browse to the item via 'category 9'

Is there any way to stop the discount message from appearing when viewing these linked products?

Not at this time.

Hi,

I've been playing around with the following scenario..

$this->add_cat_to_cat(4, 4, "%", 50);
Buy 1 item in catergory 4 and get the 2nd category 4 item at 50% off.

From what I can work out it doesn't matter which order items are added to the cart, it always discounts the lowest priced item regardless of whether this is added to the cart 1st or 2nd. I've done maybe 10 tests and get the same result everytime.

Is this the way the module is set to work, or could it end up discounting the higher priced item. I guess I'm asking for what rules does the module use to determine the item to be discounted?

Thanks
James

One of the enhancements that was made in version 2.0 was to automatically select the least expensive matching item for discounting.

Thanks Scott. I've just installed this software and modified it for buy 4 get one free. It's working great but I need to apply the discount across both attributes of the product. Can't understand why it's not doing that automatically, can you help please?
