salemaker for 1 category

[studeo]

I set up a 10% off salemaker rule for 1 category. The sale is not reflected on the product pages of that category. Have I missed something? My general catalog page shows a .10 discount on the category line, but the products dont.

What might I have missed?

Are all the Products in the Category that is on Sale using that Category as the master_categories_id ...

[studeo]

No, I guess not. Some are linked from other categories. If I change the master ID on the product, will it change the master ID on the link as well?

[Ajeh]

Products all have 1 master_categories_id and this is the one used for pricing for things like Sale Maker ...

You can Link the Product to as many Categories as you like, but you have to decide which Category "owns" that Product ... this is the master_categories_id and this is where Sales from Sale Maker will built the Product display price based on that master_categories_id ...

So, if you need all the Products in categories_id 23 on Sale, then you want all of those Products to have the master_categories_id of 23 ...

If you go to the Product and hit C for Copy ... at the bottom is the Multiple Categories Links Manager ...

There are settings in there to update all the Products in a Category to a new master_categories_id ...

Odd thing Linda....

When I click on 'multiple categories manager' I am looped back to the admin login....I remember trying that in the past and having the same thing happen....

I have not run across that before ...

You might try to close all browsers, clear your cache and cookies then see if that works ...

Or, for giggles try IE if using FireFox or FireFox if using IE ...

[studeo]

heres the giggle...

it does work in firefox! I tried it again in IE7 and it still loops back to login.....any ideas since i use IE 99% of the time.

/me listens to the strangely spooky music ...

Perhaps try closing all IE7 browsers, clear the cache and cookies and see if the miracle occurs ...

Have a trusted buddy with IE7 who can peek and try to repeat this issue on a different computer?

[studeo]

nope. no change. I will have my client try her admin panel today and let you know. If there was only a direct way in there....

:music heightens:

quick update:

It does the same thing on my other computer..IE6.

I will pM you with login to have a look see
