Better Together Contribution Support Thread

[swguy]

You can't do the category operation you asked about with Better Together. Only parent categories are supported by default.

There is a FAQ section of the help page that explains this and many other common problems:

There is not support for five for one either; only two for one.

Ah, ok.

So even if I tried:

Cat 1
-- sub cat 1a
-- subsub cat 1b
-- products

Cat 2
-- sub cat 2a
-- subcat 2b
-- subcat 2c
-- products

I want to specify -

Cat 1 - buy 2 get 3rd half price
I tried $this->add_cat_to_cat(1, 1, "%", 100);

or

Cat 2 - Buy 5 get 1 free
$this->add_fiveforone_cat(2);

These wouldn't work either (which is actually better for me)?

Thanks for your fast response.

See previous response. There is no five for one support in better together, and "category" means parent category. Other options exist (see your PM), but you cannot do either of these things with the stock better together. Category behavior in my mods is explained in this page:

I got your PM thanks.
Looking into purchasing.

Hello
Is there a way to change the language of the text :
I want that "choisissez un produit..... recevez un produit...." appears, instead of "buy an item.... get an item...."
What must I change for it ?
Many thanks

Other thing : I install Ajax Image Swapper before installing better together... and now, in the product description, I don't have the displaying of image like image swapper does... Is it normal ?

Look at the language files and make the adjustments there. You will need to create includes/languages/french/ ... (you probably already have).

What's next for Better Together?

- add_cat_to_prod() will be added in the next version.

- The semantics of "category" will be changed so you can use a top level category or a category with subcategories instead of just one with products underneath it. (This is how it works in Big Chooser and Big Spender.) This will affect add_prod_to_cat, add_twoforone_cat, and add_cat_to_cat (as well as add_cat_to_prod, if that is available at the time).

I don't know if these will be released together or one at a time. If you are using other related software (Promotional Pages, Discount Preview, Checkout Candy, Better Together Admin), you may need to upgrade; you will be advised at that time what to do, and everything will be available at once so upgrading won't break your site.

Look for these changes in the third quarter of this year.

Thanks,

I was looking at the various discounting add-ons available on your site. In the Big Chooser page, it says:

See it Live: Go to product 5 in my test cart you will see the upsell message that if you buy this product (BladeRunner) or Beloved, you get $100 off a graphics card (such as this one.)

It appears this is no longer configured in the way you describe, nor does it show on the Promotional page.

I didn't see a thread for Big Chooser, here, so I am mentioning this here. Thanks.

[swguy]

Thanks for the report; I fiddle with these things periodically and sometimes they get out of sync.

There isn't a support thread for Big Chooser; I support it by email. Please email me any further questions.
