Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[DWho]

Hi

I understand how better together works, but I am trying to figure out if it is the correct plugin I need to solve the problem I have.

I have a category that is two for the price of, so for example, one product cost X but buy two of those products and get it for price y. if the customer buys three products they get the discount on the first two but not the third but again on four products the discount is given.

I have messed about with this plug in but it doesn't entirely achieve what I would like. so either A; I haven't correctly set it up or B: I need something else to achieve the result I am looking for...

Thanks for any help.

Better Together doesn't work exactly this way.

It is a discount module, and the price reduction is structured as a discount off the second item (not the final price of A+B).

So if A and B are linked, buy A+B will give 1x the B discount. Buy A + 2B still gives 1x the B discount. Buy 2A + 2B gives 2x the B discount.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a plug in that will possibly create what I need.

Thanks for your time

Hi all,
Glancing through the thread and the forum I am unable to find anything about the below scenario so hopefully there's a solution:

Using Zen 1.51
Better Together: Xsell (cross-sell), most recent.

Add two items under the xsell, one item sells. The item that sold is still showing up in the cross sell, since I list items in a SOLD category, but they ALL have the quantity of zero (0).

So, where can I tell xsell NOT to show items with the quantity of zero (0)?

Thanks

Please post your setup() function (or at least the relevant lines).

Hi Scott,
function setup() {

$this->add_prod_to_prod(6753, 6744, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6744, 6753, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6585, 6589, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6589, 6585, 'X', 0);

and on and on....on...and...on and one more on...ok 7,000 more.

I wrote a excel sheet to generate the numbers and insert it into a list, as such, up to the highest current product number and create the opposite set.

Items that do not have a actual item attached to them generate a "S O L D" image and link to the Newest Items Page.

The problem I am having is even if a item is sold (0 quantity) AND/OR the status of the item is OFF. The item is still showing the image in my cross-sell, BUT when clicked it obviously would go to the Newest Items Page since it is not available. Seeing the image, a customer would expect to go to the product rather than the Newest Items List, I'm sure annoyed.

Great work by the way with all of these plug-ins, they are absolutely the best.

Thanks
GJW

OK so looking at

$this->add_prod_to_prod(6753, 6744, 'X', 0);

if you're on 6753 you don't want to show 6744 if it's sold out, right? Then go to includes/modules/order_total/ot_better_together.php and modify the function get_xsell_info(). The block you want is on 676-682 of the latest update.

Before

         if ($match == 1) {
            $info['image'] = $second_image;
            $info['link'] = $disc_href;
            $info['ident'] = $li->ident2;
            $info['name'] = $name;
            $response_arr[] = $info;
         }

add this block of code

         // Don't display out of stock products for xsell if not purchaseable
         if ( ($match == 1) &&
              (($li->flavor == PROD_TO_PROD) || ($li->flavor == CAT_TO_PROD)) ) {
             if ( (zen_get_products_stock($li->ident2) <= 0) &&
                  (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT == 'false') ) {
                  continue;
             }
         }
