Reward Point Mod beta now available

[hem]

Hello. Very Nice mod. but i have a problem.. dont know how to exit also because none seems to have it. Everything is working but in the admin area i cant see the menu entry. At its place i see only after configuration:
BOX_REWARD_POINTS, 'link' => zen_href_link(ADMIN_FILENAME_REWARD_POINTS, '', 'NONSSL')); ?>
and there is no entry in catalog. I checked a lot of times and i placed all the files in the correct folder. any ideas? thanks

Check this file admin/includes/boxes/èxtra_boxes/reward_points_catalog_dhtml.php- it should read

<?
  $za_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_REWARD_POINTS, 'link' => zen_href_link(ADMIN_FILENAME_REWARD_POINTS, '', 'NONSSL'));
?>

Correct- They should be '<?php'- I'll change them for the next release.

Add a Config item which allows reward points only to be redeemed against other products and not shipping???

actually I was talking about the product. When someone redeems points (example on my site a camcorder $900)

They have enough points to buy a $900 camcorder. I need to pay for that product somewhere, but the reward points really have no money value. So i have to pay for the camcorder at my own expense (says my cost $600 for the camcorder). I was just looking for Idea's on how to offset this. my thought on how i would do this is:

customer earns 5000 reward points on an order, which translate to $50. I would just take $50 from my profit of that order and put in a high interest savings, until the customer actually used the points, plus I would be earning interest.

So just wondering how others are doing this. : )

huh? give them a reasonable percent only. Say 10% or 5% of the total (depends on your percent of profit)

If you think about it- if you are using the default values (1 point per $1 and 1 cent when redeeming) all you are really doing is giving them a 1% discount. In order for someone to buy $900 item using only reward points they would have had to have spent $90,000 at your store- And that's the kind of customer you want to keep

So true!

PTC- thanks to you and JC for covering while I was away. I'm back now.

I've attached an interim fix for the incorrect reward points problem. I'm currently coding the "Reward Point/Order State change" functionallity which will allow store admins to decide which of the Order Status's make reward points pending and which make reward points earned (and which to ignore- like "Update"). I've also coded in your "Remove Sidebox When Empty and/or Not Signed In"

Thanks for the fix! However, there is an error in the tpl_reward_points.php

Change this:

$reward_points+=getRewardPoints($product['id']))*$product['quantity'];

To this:

$reward_points+=getRewardPoints($product['id'])*$product['quantity'];

Looks like the one line had an extra ) in it.

Works fine now for me.

Thanks again andy.
