Better Together Contribution Support Thread

Is there a posibility to list all Better Toguether products on one list just like Specials items?

OK, this is now ready. Right now it's just a zip file on my website; I guess if people like it I'll submit it to the download area, but I wanted to keep it out of the main contribution so that people would have a choice of whether or not to use it. Here's the zip:

and if you want to see what it looks like before installing it, here's an example:

Better Together 1.5 has been released and is available in the download area.
It builds on the introduction of tpl_better_together_marketing.php (as the way to add marketing text to the product info page) in the following ways:

- The marketing text has been consolidated to a single div named
betterTogetherDiscountPolicy. This div is only created when it is needed,
so you are now free to style it with a border. If you have styled
"discountPolicy" and "discountPolicyReverse" (the previous names), please
incorporate this name change into your stylesheet.

- Some wording changes have been made to the marketing text to further
clarify the discount being offered. If you have made changes to the
language file, you will want to install the new one and merge your changes.
In particular, the change noted in post 97

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...7&postcount=97

is critical for two for one category discounts, and must be installed. Other
changes are required to align the marketing text with how the code actually works.

The core contribution does not include the "Promotional Page" described in the previous
post, which is packaged separately and is available as a free download off my site.

Thank you,

If you are using Better Together and want to use Google Checkout, please upgrade to Better Together 1.5a. A bug was detected in the process() routine in ot_better_together.php that makes Google Checkout unable to determine the discount. Of course, you will also need to be running Google Checkout v1.4.1_beta2 (or better), which contains the fixes required to make Order Total modules work.

If you have made significant changes outside of the setup() routine and just want to merge in this change, look for the string 'value'. You will see

   'value' => $this->deduction);

Change this to

   'value' => $od_amount['total']);

So the whole block should look like this:

          $this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
                                 'text' => '-' . $currencies->format($od_amount['total'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                                 'value' => $od_amount['total']);
