Mod for value field for Gift Certificates

[samad64]

are both mods required for use of the value mod?

I need to provide the ability for visitors to buy gift certificates in any amount, and this mod looks to be exactly what I need. However, I can't get it to work. I was able to install it without any problems, but when I go to my Gift Certificate item there's no option to enter a value. What else do I have to do? The directions aren't very clear on the use.

Thanks!

This might work for multiple quantity boxes, but I am not sure. Can the numerical number entered into the text box act as a quantity amount too ... The question is can I have this new text input option increase the quantity based on the number they enter?

No.

You could perhaps rewrite this mod but rather find a mod which behavior is more like what youre after.. or write your own from 'scratch'..

We can make it for you if you make it worth our while :)

Sorry for the delayed answer, but no, not really... But we created a new product type mostly to make it easier. You can look at the first post in this thread and in the install.txt in the mod-package for more info on how it works.

If you any more questions, just ask!

Have you installed both the GV-Product_Type-Mod and Value-Mod?
Have you read the install-files for both mods, especially the "Configure the Shop" part?

Get back if you can't make it work and good luck with your shop!

I was following the steps in the text file "install_value-mod_137.txt" to "Configure the Shop" but I got an error when I was trying to add a new attribute. Here's the error message I got: "Attribute Option and Option Value Do NOT Match - Attribute was not added - : TEXT".

Here are the steps I took:

1. Went to Catalog->Option Name Manager
2. Entered the text "Value" in the Option Name field.
3. Selected "Value" in the drop down list under option type
4. Went to Catalog->Attributes Controller
5. Selected Categories: - Gift Certificates (created previously)
6. Selected the Gift Certificate product
7. In the "Adding New Attributes" section, I clicked "insert". Option Name was "Value [Value]" and Option Value was "TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ONLY ATTRIBUTES]

Then I got the error message. Please let me know what I may have done wrong.

Thank you guys!

Thanks for the excellent description of your steps. Unfortunately we're unable to reproduce your error.

Could you please try and remove the entry in Admin->Options Name Manager. You can also try and remove the product itself too and create a new. Then add the option name again in the Option Name Manager and then go to Attributes Controller and choose your product and select "Value" from the Option Name and don't select anything in the Option Value-field. Click Insert. Still the same error?

You are sure you have got all the changes in the modded files?

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

Thanks a lot Beez. I have since opted to sell gift certificates at $25, $50 and $100 and I'm happier with that.

I appreciate your response.

Good for you! Thanx for the update.

Thanks for the great mod. I love it. However, I was just testing it in my test cart and discovered that whenever the shopping cart is updated/refreshed after removing other products, the GV value gets changed to 0.00. I've tried this several different ways, going through the steps in a different order and the result is always the same.

Any ideas what is happening?
