Better Together Contribution Support Thread

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.

The rookie's guide to installing my mods is here:

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

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.

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?

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);
