Coupon Restriction Issue

[disciple]

Hi Linda,

I have not been able to do anything with this and although I don't believe that I have made any code changes it would appear that I can't use any coupons.

Everything I try gives me the error:
This coupon code is not valid for any product currently in your cart. couponname

What do you think I did to cause this

My problems do coincide with a recent USPS shipping addition to our shipping options but I don't see how that would have any effect.

I'd have to see your Admin to play with this, but I am pretty sure it is the issue of multiple categories where the master_categories_id is a higher numerical value than the Linked categories_id and it tests the Linked categories and flags it as failed ...

Without actually seeing the raw data on everything and your Admin, this is hard to say for sure on this one ...

I have encountered the same issue as described when starting this thread. Ajeh, what do you mean by Category Top Deny?

There are Restriction settings ...

Set the Category ... Top ... to Deny ...

Hei Linda

why Coupon is not forking for a Product which is assign to multiple Category. I set top Category to Deny and category "A" to allow. So in that case those products in cart will got Discount which are belongs to "A" Category. Now suppose, a product is assign to Multiple Category like Category "A" and Category "B". in that case is there any problem in Coupon Restriction.? i am getting Problem. Can you tell me how to solve..?

Please make a note, One category may have a number o Sub Category, Like Category "A" have two Subcategory which are "B" & "C".. and in that case ParentID/Master Category id which is "A" is lower then its Subcategory. Because We create Category 1st and Subcategory last. In that case is a product Have multiple Category/Subcategory. Dose Coupon work properly..?? I am also getting Error in this Case. Could you at least tell me where to Change or modify...???

Since Coupon Module is belong to Zen Cart core Module, Its Tuff separate for modification.

Its become a vital Issue for most of the Client..

Please Advise...

Regards
Hasan.

Make sure that you have applied the Known Bug Fixes for v1.3.8:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82619

When you build a Discount Coupon that includes Linked Products, the master_categories_id must belong to the Allowed Category or you must add the Product(s) Separately ...

In v1.3.9, there is a method for adding/deleting a whole Category of Products to make this configuration easier ...

For now, you may need to add the Products 1 by 1 if they do not belong to the Category that you have set for the Discount Coupon ...

NOTE: if the Products do use this Category as their master_categories_id and the Discount Coupon is not working ... this is a good sign that you need to apply the Known Bug Fixes ...

Hello Zen users,

I got a problem with my "Coupon Restriction". Everytime I go to the Restriction menu in Coupon Admin area. The system gives the following message:

"Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in /home/public_html/eshop/rawatsgi/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 334"

I am currently using:
Zen Cart 1.3.7.1
Database Patch Level: 1.3.7.1

Does anyone have a clue that is wrong with this? Appreciate some feedback to resolve this problem. Thank you.


Kind regards,
Jim
