Thanks for the reminder Swguy. I installed Better Together awhile back then forgot about it, and installed some more modules on top of that. So I wasn't entirely sure if the problem was because of the additional modules or not.
After reading through your help article... am I correct to think that if I have Better Together set up correctly using parent categories, if the customer buys from a linked category, they will still get the discounts?

Quick reminder for new users and people who just want to learn more about Better Together: there is extensive documentation, examples, code fragments, frequently asked questions, etc. available on my home page. The link is in the Better Together readme file, or you can just go to my home page and click the Zen Cart link and search for Better Together.
I only update the readme file in the contribution when I update the software, but the documentation on my home page is updated constantly. Better Together just had its third birthday (!), so chances are, someone has had the same questions you're having and I've put answers on this page.
A couple of days ago I posted a fix to the Better Together Promotional Page for category images. If you're not using this contribution in conjunction with Better Together, you really should be. Take a look at the support thread at
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...285#post772285
for details. I intend to add images to the marketing text as well, but this is the first installment.

Two quick questions:
I have an item already on sale - and it's taking 50% off the regular price instead of the sale price. Is there a fix for this? Or something I'm missing that is obvious?
Customers can buy 1/2 increments of the promoted products - but the discount is always figuring on units of 1. Recommendations?!?!?
Thanks!
Melanie
Question 2: Better Together only handles units of 1.
Question 1: On a fresh install of 1.3.8 this does not happen. You have introduced a bad change, or perhaps the item has some extra charge, perhaps an attribute? It discounts off the "final price" in the basket which includes the sale discount.
Thanks. It was just me being dumb not an actual problem. The products were priced the same and i put the full price item as the 50% off item - once I switched them around it worked.

I received an email yesterday asking about images for the Better Together Marketing text. I have moved this to the top of my todo list and will deliver something by the end of the year.
OK, I have just installed the Better Together Promotional Page, but I couldn't figure out/find anything related on my product pages, I tried every thing like go through the whole process of purchasing a product.. Do I need to install an extra thing to make it work? I was expecting to have a control on that from the admin panel ! shouldn't I ?
The promotional page is completely separate from your product info pages.
To get the marketing text on your product info pages, follow these instructions:
http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...html#marketing
This will show a message if you have a discount on the item you are viewing. The promotional page shows *all* discounts.
You must install Better Together and add a discount to the setup() function before doing this so that there's something to show.
Thanks swguy for you quick reaction, I understood now how the first one to use but what do you mean by You must install Better Together and add a discount to the setup() function before doing this so that there's something to show. can you please explain more because I thought that can be done from the admin panel ! right ?Quote:

First I installed both better together and the promotional one, but I still don't see any thing related to the better together module as it didn't show in the Admin panel-Modules -Order total ! why is that ? although I'm sure that I have uploaded everything to the right locations and also about the function setup() where should I put that ! in which page ? and why it is so complicated can I just do that from the admin panel without bothering about any coding !Quote:

It's a large and complex system. Some people have to hire out the installation and maintenance of things like this, and some people use other solutions like Cross Sell because they find Better Together too hairy. It's entirely your choice.
So as alternative solution do you advice me to go to Cross Sell as it sounds less complicated ?
and is here the final version for that ?

Ok this is my test store and I did everything as it it's written in the README file, Please see what I got , a products with no quantity boxs, no "Add to cart" in short no buttons show with the products .. I really need help.. :frusty:

The problem you're having now is called the Blank Page problem. Here's how to fix it:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84613
You're getting in trouble because you're trying to do too much at once. If you can't fix the issue you have with these instructions, restore from a backup and then install JUST Better Together. Get that to work. Then install the marketing text. Get that to work. Then install the promotional page.
That's what I'm trying to do now Swguy, and that's what I got in my caches log file :
PHP Fatal error: Class 'ot_better_together' not found in /home1/arabbro1/public_html/pc2all/includes/templates/silverfish/templates/tpl_better_together_marketing.php on line 8
So what dose that mean ?
Please put an ad in the Commercial Help Wanted section for someone to install it for you. I really can't debug your installation on the forum.
Better Together 2.1 is now available in the Free Software Downloads area. This version adds images to the Better Together Marketing text. Please reinstall all files! You must also change the inclusion in your tpl_product_info_display.php file from
<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_better_together_marketing.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE,
$current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_better_together_marketing.php');
?>
to
<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE,
$current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php');
?>
The actual display of images is controlled in this template file, which you can modify to your taste. The use of images on the product info page and/or on the promotional page is optional; again, mix or match and adjust to taste.
thanks for the mod!
I give it a lovely style! lol
Is there a way, to manage the images? I mean... I want it a bit more smaller... but I don't want change the size of all the images of my site... just the better together images...
thanks in advance...
Nothing is built in to do this; you'd have to change the code.
ok... thank you... may be a future modification? lol
I'm not developer... so... I will leave it in the way is now
thank you!
btw... I just install the old version... when I notice the new version... with the images in the promotional text... I don't want it... because the images of my site are big to have in the promotional text... in the special page... I delete the images...
can I continue with my old version? or you think is mandatory update?
You don't need to use the images in the promotional page if you don't want them. Just edit
./includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_bettertogether_promo_default.php
and delete the third echo in the loop where the images are printed out.
yes... I do that in the previous version too... for that reason... like I have the mod like I want... will be mandatory the update? just asking...
If you use the new Better Together, you must use the new promotional page, and vice versa.
ok! thanks!
Hello,
I'm using ZenCart 1.3.7.1 with BT 2.1.
I have the following scenario - I want to offer discount CAT TO CAT or PROD TO CAT. So if I add one product from Cat1 and 5 products for Cat2, I want the % discount to be applied to all 5 products in Cat2.
At the moment I think it only applies the discount the product from Cat2 that is cheapest.
Is there a way I can do this, modify something in the code for example?
Thanks
You can't do this with Better Together. Response by PM.
Hi,
I am trying to choose between the discount mods but not sure which will do what I want. I just want a simple buy A and get B at a discount, but want to have it so that the customer can choose how many of B they want, but not more than the qty of A. They have a minimum buy of A if that makes a difference
Eg. They buy 8 A, so they can have 1-8 B's at a discount.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Yes, this is how it works. If A is product 10 and B is product 20, and you do
$this->add_prod_to_prod(10, 20, "%", 50);
You only get 50% off every product 20 for every product 10 you buy.
Thanks man, all your mods rock! Im downlading it now.Quote:

Yes. Follow the directions and the examples provided on the help page.Quote:

any chance of a quick helping hand to set up 3 discounts which is all i want really for a small fee. wouldn't normally ask but you know your stuff and im installing on a live running store :oops:
Response by PM.
need help with editing the order total file ot_better_together.php im getting a blank page for step 2 in checkout each time I edit it. followed instructions to the letter this time and still nothing!
im using the admin panel if anyone else has had this problem and knows the cause?
editing the following line....
function setup() {
// Using Better Together Admin? Uncomment this out
/*
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'better_together_admin.php');
}
and according to the instructions it should be....
function setup() {
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'better_together_admin.php');
}
}
I've already paid 1 $60 fee for the admin panel i really can't afford the other $60 when i know this is the only thing stopping it working :(
To see the error message add following code to the top of admin/includes/application_top.php file (after <?php):
PHP Code:@ini_set('display_errors', '1');
well i have just tried that and it still displays as a plain grey screen :( no error message try it yourself mate i'll pm you the address for my site. All you need to do is make a new account and add 12 months xbox live to the cart and lost game (preowned) which is the only discount i have currently set up.Quote:

I would greatly appreciate some help. :)
I had the same problem and a member of the forum helped me out with it. I'd purchased the admin panel though aswell which makes life so much easier :)
PSP Queen, you need to *carefully* follow the examples provided in the help
http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca..._together.html
For instance, discounting product 12 by 50% when product 14 is purchased:
function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(14, 12, "%", 50);
}
Other examples are provided in the help.
Well, thanks for your reply, but please do not assume I have not 'carefully followed' your examples. I have; in fact I have copied and pasted the exact code for what I want from your information pages, just like you have shown me above. When that didn't work I tried copying and pasting the handy examples in the actual php file. I tried all combinations to see if I could find one that worked and then see where I was going wrong. All I changed were the numbers for the categories, so mine read:
function setup() {
$this->add_twoforone_cat(23);
}
That's it. No matter how many times I look at it I can't see where I've got any code wrong. Just to make sure, I've tried it again, copying your code above and just changing the numbers. Again I get the blank page.
Is there any other reason this would not be working?
If you're getting a blank page, you'll need to follow these directions to debug it:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84613
Slightly later:
After trying again with your code above, I have finally got it to work - by leaving off the trailing bracket. Whether it's supposed to be there or not I'm not sure but my installation seems to work without it, which is all that matters.
Hmmm.... you might be getting in trouble with having blank lines after the
?>
Be sure when you transfer files to your server that the very last line is that closing tag.
It is, there are no blank lines after ?> The bracket I removed was at the end of your code above.
Better Together 2.2 is now available. This version features another tax setting (Re-Calculate Tax = VAT) for tax included shops. If you do not run with Display Prices with Tax = true, you may skip this upgrade.
An additional change was made for currency-based discounting for tax included shops. Now *all* discounts - not just percent off discounts - are grossed up for taxes if you use include_tax = yes. In some earlier versions, I tried not grossing up dollar based discounts. However, I believe uniform treatment is a more consistent and logical approach.
Better Together will work fine for non-VAT liable, non-tax-included shops in 1.3.9. I will release another version after 1.3.9 is finalized which is compliant with the new style of tax handling for tax-included shops in 1.3.9.
Better Together 2.3 has been released, with support for Cross Selling (undiscounted linkages). Cross sells are shown in a new centerbox on the product info page.
Fantastic mod! :clap:
I was added a fieldset to the marketing text template (tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php) to put a label on it. However, the fieldset and label shows even when there are no "Better Together" discounts.
I tried inserting after the IF statement but doesn't seem to like that...:oops: where should it go so as not to show up when no products are linked?Code:<!-- bof Better Together Marketing -->

I was looking through this add on, and quite honestly, it looks pretty darn solid and flexible. I do have a question though.
I'm looking to start out by using it specifically as a cross-sell tool, but eventually expanding on the other features.
Here's the question..... If I...
$this->add_cat_to_cat(a, b, "X", 0);
as a cross sell between catagories a and b, just how many items will display in the 'you may also like' centerbox? Is it limited to displaying a certain number of random items or will the entire catagory display?
I'm curious as to how I need to handle this:smile:
Thanks in advance!
In the formulation you used, only the category image for category B would be used. If you want to display specific products, you would need to use add_cat_to_prod() and use specific product ids.
Thanks for the quick response, good information to know. Does it limit the number of items in the centerbox for cross sell items or does it list everything you put in for paramaters?
Being selectful isn't a problem, I just dont want to overload a box with things! :)
I've had a look through the support thread and can't find anything relating to this, but apologies if it's already been answered somewhere else.
Is it possible to modify this module to be able to create linkages between linked products in a category rather than using their master category id. I understand that the lack of this functionality is covered in the documentation and am wondering if it is actually possible or if there is something which hinders its integration.
For example a product 'Cotton T-Shirt' has a master category of 'Shirts' and is linked to a hidden category 'cotton shirts'. I would like to add a linkage to all products in the hidden category 'cotton shirts' to a particular product, but not all the products in 'Shirts'.
Thanks.
It is certainly possible, but a complete implementation would require a lot of changes (and a boatload of even more confusing documentation), so I didn't go this route, although I seriously considered it at one point.
I have to agree, this module needs to support linked products. For example, then it would be so easy to throw a bunch of products into a sale category for a BOGO sale.Quote:

I'm on Zen-Cart 1.3.9d with Better Together Marketing 2.3 and thought I should share a small HTML tag compliance issue I found today in the following files:
includes\templates\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_better_together_marketing.phpincludes\templates\CUSTOM_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_better_together_marketing_image s.phpInside the for loop, the php echo that generates the span tag has a double quote ( " ) in the closing span tag. See below:
tpl_better_together_marketing.php:
tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php:PHP Code:for ($i=0, $n=count($marketing_data); $i<$n; $i++) {
echo '<div class="discountText">';
echo $marketing_data[$i]['data'];
echo '<span class="bbn_button_noimg">' . $marketing_data[$i]['bbn_string'] . '</span">';
echo '</div>';
}
The double quote needs to be removed as it causes formatting issues in the final DOM display that permeates through the balance of the page. Basically, it prevents the echo of the two closing div tags. Found this using the developer tools in IE8, viewed the source for the Page DOM and spotted the missing closing div tags.PHP Code:for ($i=0, $n=count($marketing_data); $i<$n; $i++) {
echo '<hr />';
echo '<div class="discountText">';

I have a product which I need to offer free ONLY when any item from a certain Manufacturer is purchased.
Ideally, the free product should be visible in my store, but not purchasable. Customers should be advised that the only way to get it is to buy something from manufacturer X.
Could you tell me if this is possible to set up using Better Together?
Thanks!
Better Together will not do this.
Oh, that's disappointing!Quote:

Two things I'm trying to do.
First issue:
I want to offer a discount off category B (stitch markers) if any product in category A (hand dyed yarn) is purchased.
The problems: The products in category A are in 7 sub categories. So I have to do the 7 separate discounts - this is fine but when you use the marketing tool it list all 7 discounts which doesn't look very good.
Second issue the products in Category B (stitch markers) are populated from products put straight into this category and also linked from a hidden master category (that of a different manufacturer so that sales etc could be done just for that manufacturer) So therefore I have to do the discounts for both of these categories. Also not a problem but in the marketing it then shows up as Buy Item A Get 20% off Item B (with both of item B's titles showing up including the hidden category.
Really I'd just like to do a simple Buy from category A (and any of it's sub categories) get 20% off Category B (and any linked items in it) but I believe i can't do that (and it didn't work when I tried, lol).
I did do the changes in tpl_better_together_marketing.php from this page http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...ry_issues.html (adding the bit of code and changing to $category) but this didn't make any differences.
So is there any way of doing this so the marketing doesn't show up all the different sub categories?
I'm thinking it would just be neater to offer a discount code on the home page.
Also second issue.
It appears that only one product is discounted??
If I put in one lot of category A (yarn) and 2 lots of category B (stitch markers) then only one of the category B products were discounted. Is this correct?
My URL is http://www.artezan.com.au though I have taken the Best together links off.
Thank you so much for any help.
Only one B is discounted if it's Buy A get B at a discount. To discount 2 B's you must buy 2 A's.
"Category" in Better Together means "parent category" (master category id).
Further response by PM.
I'm using 1.3.9d
The problem:
When I go to the checkout the items in there point to an invalid url if I want to click back to the product I'm purchasing. They show like
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main...c6de9b089488b6
This has nothing to do with Better Together. You probably have an issue with your configure.php files if this is what's happening.
It was a problem with SEO URLs not being updatedQuote:

ie if they are purchasing corsets to upsell fishnets, buying a racer costume then they may want to add the checkered long socks or a cap etc
However I don't want to create further discounts all the time. Can Better together & candy bar work without creating addtional discounts? Simply as a way to recommend related products at the checkout?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!
:smile:
Instead of using "$" or "%" when you create your discounts, you can create cross sells using "X". Review the readme and the help file on my home page to get the details.
What im after doing is, offering item X free of charge when you purchase any product from any catagory
is this possible?
Ta
Rob
Not easily. It might be better to create a coupon just for this item and attach a minimum order dollar amount to it.
thankyou, i never thought of doing it that way
Rob
i just had the mod installed today and i am just now getting around to playing with it.
here is the scenario i am going for:
spend $X in store (any product, any category) and get SPECIFIC product FREE.
i was hoping to use this set ip:
■add_cat_to_prod()
cat = category includes anything from my shop
prod = specific item i want to give free.
is there a way to add a minimum dollar amount from the category to allow this to work?
or is there another mod i should be looking for to achieve this???
thanks in advance!

Would there be a way to set this up so that you could offer "buy two products and get one item of equal or lesser value for free", where if there were 3 items in the cart, it would give the lowest valued item for free. It would obviously need to work in multiples. If 6 items were in the cart, it would give the 2 lowest valued items for free. Is this capable of that? Or is there any way of making it do that?
No. Better Together works on single items. See PM.
thanks scott. i am looking into the big spender mod. still trying to figure out the coding with this one though...wish i had more time!Quote:

i am trying to add a simple discount....using scott's sample from the info page:
function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(161,162,"%", 50);
}
but i still keep getting a blank page when it comes time to checkout.
this is what i am seeing in the php file, and i know a bunch of coding examples are included, so i don't know if i need to delete anything in the php file to make the discounts work?
here is a screen shot (the highlighted part is what i am trying to add):
You need to REPLACE the entire setup function with what you had. You left the rest of the code in.
It should look like this:
function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(161,162,"%", 50);
}
ok...so the function should be the last thing in the php file:
function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(161,162,"%", 50);
}
and nothing below it? is that right?
that is what i have right now and i am still getting a blank page and HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. ???
I suspect you've deleted the final brace "}" which is required to close out the body of the class.
there is only one brace } which is on the final line after the semi-colon.
adding another screen shot...there are no words or symbols after my discount coding....these are the final 3 lines of the file:
function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(161,162,"%", 50);
}
i don't know what i am missing?? thanks for your help!
i just want to be sure that i am grabbing the right category and product numbers to be inserting into the function.
the numbers on the left side of each screen shot? this is what i am supposed to be using right??
if so, i am still having the same problem as mentioned above. awaiting your reply. thanks!
See previous response. After the setup function is a final brace that ends the class.
setup() {
.... bla bla bla
}
}
You have probably deleted the final brace.
ahhh! there is actually 2 braces! so i WAS missing the last one!!! i see my discounts now! THANKS! can't wait to start playing!!!
i am LOVING this mod!!! i have managed to do quite a bit of customizing to suit my store, but i was wondering if there was a way to change the wording "Better Together Discounts" shown in my side bar and title on the page from the Marketing Page Mod?
i am attaching 2 screen shots
thanks in advance!
Language strings are in
./includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_better_together.php
for Better Together and
./includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/custom/bettertogether_sidebox_defines.php
./includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/custom/bettertogether_promo.php
./includes/languages/english/custom/bettertogether_promo.php
for Promo Page. Customize them as you wish!
ok...that's what i thought, but wasn't sure what to change, but i will play more today.
another quick question, can you confirm whether or not the Big Spender Mod will work with the Better Together Mod???
thanks! :)

thanks again:) i am so much enjoying this mod!! lots of possibilities. once i get this one all figured out, i have some others on my wish list!! :)
sorry for another post, but it wouldn't let me edit my last one.
anyway, i figured out the solution to my first issue about.
but my cross-sell items still aren't showing up?? any suggestions as to why?
The cross sell items don't show up on the promotional page.
They should show up on the product info page if one of the items in the cross sell linkage matches the product id you are displaying, assuming you have correctly included tpl_better_together_xsells.php as described in the documentation.
