Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[swguy]

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

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,
That Software Guy
