Looks like a great module - couple questions that came up in a variety of posts, but were never conclusively answered:


[1] What's the PHP requirement? PHP5?

[2] Can Better Together v1.6 be used on 1.3.7 ZC Stores? Or should I install v1.5a


Thanks.

a) PHP4 or 5 are fine.
b) 1.6 i s fine with 1.3.7, and will save you a headache when you go to 1.3.8.

Hello,

I have your module installed since several months and is working great. But now I want to offer free shipping based on amount, and of course, Free shipping takes the total from cart session, and better together put the discount on total order. So for example if i have some items at 2x1 and unit price is 20 USD, and for free shipping order must be over 60 USD, so for example, If one costumer add to cart 4 products, with the 2x1 offer the total order amount before better together discount will be 40 USD, but free shipping module see the cart session of 80 USD and automatically activates free shipping for this order.

The obvious problem is that is correct that the free shipment module needs to take the total from the cart you need to choose a shipping method before see the total order amount. But Better together module for a more accurate and user friendly usage will work better if is modified to shows discount directly on the cart session automatically. But of course is a contribution, a good one, a free one and this is just a suggestion.

So anybody can let me know who can I force free shipping module (or free rules and free options module) to takes the total from the cart session and subtract the better together total that already exists before the selection of the shipping method in order to have a real order total to calculate the free shipping.

Hi!

I have two items in my client's Zen Cart - one is a book and one is a class.

I have Better Together set up and it works beautifully - if you take a class, you get a discount on the book.

However, there's a problem. If you order them together, you get the book AT the class - thus, no shipping required!

Is there a way to handle this automatically with Better Together? I could have two versions of the book listed, one "with class" and one "without class", and only charge shipping on the latter, but it would be great if it could be done less awkwardly.

Thanks!
Adam

Better Together doesn't do this sort of thing. I would add code to your shipping module to handle this situation or make the book free shipping.

OK - I'll figure out another solution. Thanks!

Hello Scott,

Wondered what might be causing repeated marketing links such as here:-

I defined one discount link, but it repeats. I figure I have done something on my setup. Any help is appreciated.

I've never seen that before. I would get a fresh copy of tpl_product_info_display.php and a fresh copy of the contrib in case you've overwritten something accidentally.

Hello Scott,

Major whoops, please forgive me, my bad. Not sure how the duplicate line got into the file, must have had a mad moment

Thanks for getting back to me.
