MG,

I think I had that same error, and it was because the editor that I was using OCCASIONALLY adds an extra blank line or carriage return at the END of the file, after the last "?>". Removing that line fixed it. (At least I THINK it was the same error)

I've found that if I use my PHP editor to upload files to my server, it sometimes puts extra carriage returns after EVERY line. Using my WSFTP program to upload them does NOT do this, FYI.

Hi,

I am looking at your module and it does seem great. But I have a query (in case I have set the thing incorrectly).

In the UK, Vat liable goods carry 17.5% tax. I have these products showing tax inclusive price on the product page. If I want to give a discount on final price of say 49 cents, I have to set the order total to 42 cents and then the checkout discount shows as 42 cents - which is correct before tax is applied to the lesser price, giving a further price drop. That is, giving a 42 cent discount also reduces tax by 7 cents giving an effective discount of 49 cents. (It works and displays fine with tax free goods). I have the module settings Include Tax "false" and Recalculate Tax "Standard". ( The other settings give incorrect results.)

Is there any way of showing the discount including the tax drop element? e.g. "discount including tax where applicable"

Regards,

Javier

Javier - unless you want to start modifying code, this would be the way to go for now. The core team is working in the checkout area, and when they provide some more switches for handling the intricacies of VAT, I'll support them.

Scott

Thanks for the reply Scott. There's no way I am going to try modifying anything :-))

Best regards,

Javier

Hey Scott...thx for the release!

Do you have a tutorial on how to exactly use this utility for a complete rookie?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Scott,

What I am looking to do is give 10% of any item in multiple categories with the purchase of one item. My code currently looks like this:

$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 10, "%", 10);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 11, "%", 10);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 12, "%", 10);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 28, "%", 10);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 15, "%", 10);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(116, 6, "%", 10);

My problem is that it find one item that the discount applies to (say in cat 10) and it basically shuts down despite there being other items in the cart that qualify for a discount. Is there a way to get it to apply a discount to correctly?

Additionally (and this might be slightly off) but does category discounts work on the top category (i.e. anything in the store)

Thanks,

Rob

Better Together pairs up items. Once an item is used in a pairing, it's not available for further discounting.

Thank you for such an awesome mod. I tried to look through this thread, but didn't see coupons mentioned.

When a customer orders, it appears the better together deal is discounted when they use a coupon....then taken off the order total.
