Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[alhakeem2001]

The promotional page is completely separate from your product info pages.

To get the marketing text on your product info pages, follow these instructions:
http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...html#marketing

This will show a message if you have a discount on the item you are viewing. The promotional page shows *all* discounts.

You must install Better Together and add a discount to the setup() function before doing this so that there's something to show.

Thanks swguy for you quick reaction, I understood now how the first one to use but what do you mean by You must install Better Together and add a discount to the setup() function before doing this so that there's something to show. can you please explain more because I thought that can be done from the admin panel ! right ?

[swguy]

Better Together users waiting for images in marketing text: you should be backing up your setup() functions *now* to prepare to reinstall when Better Together 2.1 is released. You will need to reinstall all files.

First I installed both better together and the promotional one, but I still don't see any thing related to the better together module as it didn't show in the Admin panel-Modules -Order total ! why is that ? although I'm sure that I have uploaded everything to the right locations and also about the function setup() where should I put that ! in which page ? and why it is so complicated can I just do that from the admin panel without bothering about any coding !

All of your questions are answered in the documentation. Start with the readme file and take the time to read the whole thing. Then go to my web page and read the extended help, which provides even more examples. Again, take your time and read the whole thing. There's a lot to Better Together. It's a large and complex system. Some people have to hire out the installation and maintenance of things like this, and some people use other solutions like Cross Sell because they find Better Together too hairy. It's entirely your choice.

[alhakeem2001]

So as alternative solution do you advice me to go to Cross Sell as it sounds less complicated ?
and is here the final version for that ?

The problem you're having now is called the Blank Page problem. Here's how to fix it:

You're getting in trouble because you're trying to do too much at once. If you can't fix the issue you have with these instructions, restore from a backup and then install JUST Better Together. Get that to work. Then install the marketing text. Get that to work. Then install the promotional page.

[alhakeem2001]

That's what I'm trying to do now Swguy, and that's what I got in my caches log file :

PHP Fatal error: Class 'ot_better_together' not found in /home1/arabbro1/public_html/pc2all/includes/templates/silverfish/templates/tpl_better_together_marketing.php on line 8


So what dose that mean ?

[swguy]

Please put an ad in the Commercial Help Wanted section for someone to install it for you. I really can't debug your installation on the forum.

Better Together 2.1 is now available in the Free Software Downloads area. This version adds images to the Better Together Marketing text. Please reinstall all files! You must also change the inclusion in your tpl_product_info_display.php file from

<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_better_together_marketing.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE,
$current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_better_together_marketing.php');
?>


to

<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE,
$current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php');
?>

The actual display of images is controlled in this template file, which you can modify to your taste. The use of images on the product info page and/or on the promotional page is optional; again, mix or match and adjust to taste.
