Looks like a great module - couple questions that came up in a variety of posts, but were never conclusively answered:


[1] What's the PHP requirement? PHP5?

[2] Can Better Together v1.6 be used on 1.3.7 ZC Stores? Or should I install v1.5a


Thanks.

a) PHP4 or 5 are fine.
b) 1.6 i s fine with 1.3.7, and will save you a headache when you go to 1.3.8.

Hello,

I have your module installed since several months and is working great. But now I want to offer free shipping based on amount, and of course, Free shipping takes the total from cart session, and better together put the discount on total order. So for example if i have some items at 2x1 and unit price is 20 USD, and for free shipping order must be over 60 USD, so for example, If one costumer add to cart 4 products, with the 2x1 offer the total order amount before better together discount will be 40 USD, but free shipping module see the cart session of 80 USD and automatically activates free shipping for this order.

The obvious problem is that is correct that the free shipment module needs to take the total from the cart you need to choose a shipping method before see the total order amount. But Better together module for a more accurate and user friendly usage will work better if is modified to shows discount directly on the cart session automatically. But of course is a contribution, a good one, a free one and this is just a suggestion.

So anybody can let me know who can I force free shipping module (or free rules and free options module) to takes the total from the cart session and subtract the better together total that already exists before the selection of the shipping method in order to have a real order total to calculate the free shipping.

Seems a great contrib. But I am looking on how to set a discount for buy x, pay y. E.g. buy 4 items from one cat, pay 3 items (cheapest is free). Also buy 8, pay 6.... etc. Is it the language barrier, or isnt there a hint in the docs on howto?

Regards, John

I've been using this mod for a while and it works great. Now I've got a new set of products and want to give a gift for any purchase of a category item i.e. category to product discount.

Since this is not part of your code, I tried adding

define('CAT_TO_PROD', '4');

and made adjustments through the code, but I get an error on line 35 - something about not expecting a Boolean AND.

Here are my modified lines 33 to 38:

if ($flavor != PROD_TO_PROD &&
$flavor != PROD_TO_CAT &&
$flavor != CAT_TO_CAT) &&
$flavor != CAT_TO_PROD) {
bailout("Bad flavor " . $flavor);
}

Any ideas?

I'm try to having this as well, do you mind sending the info to me as well, thanks,
