Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[pivey]

Well, that is what I was afraid of...I loaded the liveshop data into the testshop
Around 180 categories, 10.000 products
No additional changes made..
It doesn't work.
Is there any totals related configuration I miss?

Please be sure prod to prod works, and I will send you some debug code tonight so we can see what's happening.

Hello Scott,

thank you. Yes, prod to prod is working fine.
I will PM you the URL of the shop as it is a non indexed B2B Wholesale Shop.
I will post the solution to be available to the following users with the same issue.
However, I am somehow sure that it is not related to this contribution, might be a bug in my categories index.

[swguy]

New caveat (will be added to documentation shortly) - if you are using the prod_to_cat or cat_to_cat features, please check the master_categories_id field in the products table, and ensure that it's the category for this product. If you manually loaded the data or did something out of the ordinary to populate your database, it might be set to 0, in which case you will need to fix it.

Now guess what....it works after updating the Master_Category ID to be nonzero
"0"

For the people with the same issue:
I used Easy Populate to load my shop data. This caused many of my products master categories to be zero (0)
In this case, all Master_Categories have to updated to contain a non zero value.
Scott's documentation does explain in detail how to do this.

Thanks a lot Scott.
Really helpful contribution as it was missing so far.

I just realized that ZC is related to MySQL ... I better start learn some more stuff

[swguy]

Thanks for the update, pivey. Meanwhile, I have posted a message to the Easy Populate thread about your problem; perhaps a future version of Easy Populate will fix this.

Another suggestion has been added to the Better Together FAQ:

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca..._together.html

If you are concerned that people don't know they might have a discount coming
when they look at their cart, try changing SUB_TITLE_SUB_TOTAL in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php

to something like 'Sub-Total BEFORE Discount'
This will emphasize the fact that a discount will be added at checkout time.

Good luck,
Scott

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 ?

[swguy]

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.

Greetings swguy, thanks for sticking with me today. Weird, but the missing emails showed up this evening. Anyway, I have installed:

• better_2.3b
• bt_admin_3.1
• bt_admin_xajax
• candy_1.3.9_5
• center_better_1.0a
• marketing
• preview_1.3.9_8_subtotal
• promo_better_2.2a

Everything is up and running without any hassle and I have very little experience working with this type of customization. Well done on your part!

The only question I have is the "Better Together" display on the product_display_page. On my site, it is just a simple line of text with the correct linked information but what needs to be done (or what might I have missed) to get it "boxed" so that it stands out as in your example? I would prefer it to look like the example you gave with the field set.



Any help you or anyone else can offer would be appreciated.
