Free Gifts-Dangling Carrot support

[tiger]

Hi. First off - Thanks so much to the developer of this contribution. Its awesome that people take the time to create these mods and then help with problems.

I've been having the same page half loading problem on my website. I had no idea why and after searching the forums came up with the plan to reload the function_categories.php file. When i did this my website loaded properly again. It was only after doing this that i realised that this contribution edited this file and so i uploaded the contribution version and again the page half loaded. So then i used winmerge to merge the original file with the contribution version and now my site works.

That sounds all good doesn't it - UNTIL 8) ... i tried actually using this mod and discovered that my Special Gifts sidebox is empty and even when i reach the threshold the gift doesn't appear in the cart.

In case its all connected, i also get the following error:
PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for display_price() in .../includes/classes/currencies.php on line 99
PHP Warning: Missing argument 2 for display_price() in .../includes/classes/currencies.php on line 99

currencies.php (lines 99 & 100)
function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
return $this->format(zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax) * $quantity);

But i can't figure out what this is connected to.

I hope this helps narrow down the problem and will post back if i get any further myself.

Happy New Year

Hey. When i delete items from the cart making the total LESS than the amount required for the free gift, the free gift remains in the cart. This happens even when i delete everything else from the cart. As no one else has reported this problem i'm sure i've mucked something up! Does anyone know what i have done wrong?
Thanks

I want to have a gift that has attributes that are selectable, such as a "free movie" that has a drop down list attribute.

When you select the gift you want, it immediately transfers you to the product info page allowing you to select the attributes (in this case, the movie you want) but then you *can't* add it to cart since its a gift.

Also, I am also having the problems with pages not loading, specifically categories dont load the centre and right columns, and currently with product info it refuses to load the right column.

Thanks.

Hi

I too have the problem that when I use the files provided with the mod half my page wont load (right side boxes and footer).

You mention you merged the old/new functions file which sorted the blank page problem but the actual mod still didn't work correctly.

Did you manage to sort out the problem?

May I see this module anywhere ???

Hi Butchx5. I'm really sorry i can't help. I couldn't figure out what to do and lost days trying so in the end i started all over again with a fresh install and didn't use this mod. I now don't have these problems so i guess there's a connection to this mod and the problems - I guess some other incompatible mod that i installed but i just did everything too quickly the first time to be able to figure out what it was. good luck. i hope you figure it out cause this would have been a great addition.

Hi
Sorry I didn't work it out either - I too restarted my site.
Maybe we could start a new thread to see if anyone has this mod working - I really would like to use it.

Hello all,

This mod definitely works, as it did on my site. Until I moved to a PHP5 server and encountered some checkout bugs with a customer account. But apart from that it works fine. Just needs a code update.

Hi
From reading this forum it does seem like this mod works easily for most people which is why i came to the conclusion that it must have been incompatible with one of the other mods i installed. the best recommendation i can make if you still want this mod is to do a fresh install, back up the database and then add this mod first before any others. Then see if it works for you (which it should from others experience). Instead, i'm going to offer free gifts in the text of my website and then just know to send them out. Should achieve roughly the same result from the customers' point of view although won't appear in the admin side...
Good luck!

Hi Tiger!

I have installed this module in stores for testing. No other modules installed before. And what happens is... the page disappears.

The developer has nothing to say about this. This is

thanks for your help!
