Better Together Contribution Support Thread

Scrapbook supplies, I think the comments in my code make it clear where your mods go:

    function setup() {
         // Add all linkages here
         // LifeRing linkages - Brochure Sampler free with any book order
         // To make this work we had to add a separate link for every item in the Books category
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(2,16,"%",100);
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(3,16,"%",100);
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(4,16,"%",100);
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(5,16,"%",100);
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(6,16,"%",100);   
// Some examples are provided: 
/*
         // Buy product 83, get product 53 at 50% off 
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(83, 53, "%", 50); 

         // Buy product 83, get one free 
         $this->add_prod_to_prod(83, 83, "%", 100);

It isn't necessarily clear that all the stuff after //Some examples are provided is commented out... I had to ask about it myself.

And, of course, it all has to go inside the closing bracket } for function setup().

Hope this helps.

I have updated the help on my home page to answer this question more clearly.

Better Together 2.0 is getting closer. Some changes have been made since my original plans were announced a while back:

- add_cat_to_prod *will be* added as a supported linkage.

- category id handling *will not change* - it will remain as is (i.e. CAT means master category); I had considered a change here but decided against it.

- the cart will be sorted by price so that using the most expensive first item and the least expensive second item will be chosen (yielding the lowest discount). In practical terms, add_cat_to_cat(x, y, ...) or add_prod_to_cat(x, y, ...) will select the least expensive item matching category y, rather than the next category y item in product_id order as is currently done. This is the behavior most people expect since it's the most common retail implementation of BOGO ("Discount applies to lowest priced item.")

I intend to release these changes in September.

Thanks,
Scott

on 18th January 2008, post id #144 albertomrubio, asked about free shipping working with this mod, does anyone know if this can be done


cool module by the way .

There's nothing built in; you have to write code to do this sort of thing.

Better Together 2.0 is now available. The new features in this version are:

* The addition of add_cat_to_prod linkages.
* Automatic cart sort by price. This means that discounts which use add_cat_to_cat, add_prod_to_cat or add_cat_to_cat will automatically discount the least expensive item that matches the second id.

New version is in the downloads area.

Enjoy,

I've installed this but have a feeling it's not going to work for me but after hours of work I thought i'd ask.

Two things I'm trying to do.
First issue:
I want to offer a discount off category B (stitch markers) if any product in category A (hand dyed yarn) is purchased.

The problems: The products in category A are in 7 sub categories. So I have to do the 7 separate discounts - this is fine but when you use the marketing tool it list all 7 discounts which doesn't look very good.

Second issue the products in Category B (stitch markers) are populated from products put straight into this category and also linked from a hidden master category (that of a different manufacturer so that sales etc could be done just for that manufacturer) So therefore I have to do the discounts for both of these categories. Also not a problem but in the marketing it then shows up as Buy Item A Get 20% off Item B (with both of item B's titles showing up including the hidden category.

Really I'd just like to do a simple Buy from category A (and any of it's sub categories) get 20% off Category B (and any linked items in it) but I believe i can't do that (and it didn't work when I tried, lol).

I did do the changes in tpl_better_together_marketing.php from this page http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...ry_issues.html (adding the bit of code and changing to $category) but this didn't make any differences.

So is there any way of doing this so the marketing doesn't show up all the different sub categories?
I'm thinking it would just be neater to offer a discount code on the home page.

Also second issue.
It appears that only one product is discounted??
If I put in one lot of category A (yarn) and 2 lots of category B (stitch markers) then only one of the category B products were discounted. Is this correct?

My URL is http://www.artezan.com.au though I have taken the Best together links off.

Thank you so much for any help.

[swguy]

Only one B is discounted if it's Buy A get B at a discount. To discount 2 B's you must buy 2 A's.
"Category" in Better Together means "parent category" (master category id).

I'm using 1.3.9d

The problem:
When I go to the checkout the items in there point to an invalid url if I want to click back to the product I'm purchasing. They show like
