    Default Need Group Pricing (per item) -- is it okay to use with 1.5.5?

    We offer member discounts on specific items, but not via percentage -- rather, individual pricing on specific items. I would like to use this Group Pricing (per item) plugin:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154

    However, the plugin is dated 2015 and upon reading further, ran acros this thread cautioning use (in version 1.5.4) until plugin is updated:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....Support-thread

    My question: Is there another way to accomplish my goals? Otherwise, does this plugin work well with version 1.5.5? It appears to be the only group pricing with the per item option shown in the list of plugins.

    Thx.

    Hi Linda,
    Do you want to test this update? www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154 - specific for v1.5.5
    It's just a quick merge of the v1.5.3 file changes to create a set of v1.5.5 files.

    Okay, I made the SQL patch via admin / tools / install sql patch. Also uploaded all the replacement files for 1.5.5

    While adding "Group A," it still specifies a percentage discount. Also, if I am on the product page, how/where do I assign the specific "group A" price? I do not see a selection for alternate pricing.

    Last but not least, if I choose to change "Group A" to "Members" after the fact (yes, I should have thought about it before) do I simply re-do the SQL patch with the name adjustments specified in the "read me" file?

    Thx.

    PS I have added a test customer to "group a"

    The "name" of each group is in the 2 group_price_per_item.php files. See the README file, section 2.

    You can assign a group to each customer, so that customer gets that group's prices.

    The files in this plugin only work for "Product General" products. Are you using a different product-type?

    If your products are "Product General" type, then you in new/edit mode you'll see 4 group-specific pricing fields. This is where you set the per-group price for this item.

    Default Re: Need Group Pricing (per item) -- is it okay to use with 1.5.5?

    Thx DrByte --

    I renamed "Group B" as "AATF Members" in the two "group_price_per_item.php" files. Then under Customers / Group Pricing, I created the group name "AATF Members" (which was specified as one of the four types of membership in the line below "Group Pricing" title. I then added a test customer to that group.

    However, under ID / Group Name / % Discount it lists:
    1 | AATF Members | Per Item 0.00%

    Is the "0.00%" the reason no alternative pricing shows up under any of the merchandise? Each item is a different discount price unfortunately, so a global percentage rate does not work for me. Am I doing something else wrong?

    To clarify:
    "If your products are "Product General" type, then you in new/edit mode you'll see 4 group-specific pricing fields. This is where you set the per-group price for this item."

    I do not have this option in any of my products. All products are "product general" type.

    Okay ... I think I've found one problem. In the "read me" instructions to change group names (ie group a, group b, etc), it directs us to change the files as follows:
    To use a different name, replace all the occurences of that name in the appropriate files - which are:
    * /includes/extra_datafiles/group_price_per_item.php // not for 1.5.0
    * /admin/includes/extra_datafiles/group_price_per_item.php
    However, in looking at the files under the 1.5.5 folder, there is not "extra_datafiles" folder under includes (only admin/includes/extra_datafiles/...)

    Also, while re-uploading files to make sure I did it correctly, I'm worried I uploaded the admin/include files into the store/includes directory. I went through and re-uploaded everything correctly but am nervous may have added a file (or overwritten a file) in the store/includes directory that shouldn't have been there. Specifically was/is there a general.php in the store/includes? If so, did overwriting it do anything dire?

    Here are the files I may have added/overwritten in store/includes:

    includes / extra_datafiles (folder)
    includes / functions / general.php
    includes / languages / english / extra definitions (folder) plus document_product.php and product.php
    includes / modules / update_product.php

    Thx.

    Argh.
    Turns out I attached the wrong zip, which was missing some of the updates to the customers.php file.
    It's been updated: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=154

    The 0.00% is normal, because you're not giving a percentage discount. You "could" still offer a percentage discount on top of the per-item special pricing if you wish, just by changing this to something more than 0.
