Coupon Exclusions

[jhadur]

Is there a way to get a coupon to exclude certain categories of items? eg, have the coupon not apply to items that are on special, and/or are in a certain category.

Yes, you can exclude certain products or categories with the Coupon Admin. Create your coupon, save it then click Restrictions.

DUH! Thanks for pointing out the obvious. LOL!

One other question about this. If I restrict a top level category, does it restrict all the subcategories as well or do I have to do each subcategory individually?

Also, is there a way to copy an existing coupon?

[Kim]

No, there is not a way to copy an existing coupon at the moment.

And yes, if you deny a coupon from a category, it is also denied for all children of that category as well.

Whenever I have clicked on Restrictions in the Coupon Admin, it always says there is "No Input File Specified"

any advice?

What version of Zen Cart are you using?

You might want to reload your /admin files if you are having problems, assuming you have no custome /admin files ...

Ajeh, wanted to thank you for everything you've contributed to this forum. Reading your posts have helped me out a ton.

I'm running version 1.3.0.1

Haven't had any other problems but now, getting the same error when trying to create a Music Product on the page...

if i reupload the admin folder, you think that might help?

I wonder how much info i will have lost...? (ie. shipping mods and such)

Kind of makes me want to do a FTP compare with Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com of a clean v1.3.0.1 and your site ...

Plus check out the database ...

Something is out of kilter here ...
