Quantity Discounts for 1.3

[maineiac13]

Thanks...I was afraid that would be the answer. I think I can do a work around and change the zone rates to be determined by number of items purchased instead of total price....That isn't exactly what I want to do...but it should be close enough.

I'm new to zencart, have read the excellent guidance, installed quantity discounts and all seems to be working ok. However, I've also installed the promo material and would like to know how to change "Buy 3 or more of any item, get 10% off " to "Buy 3 or more items, get 10% off". I've searched all the mod files but can't find the text to change - can you help please?

Not sure what you mean by promo material, but you can try logging into your ZC admin and going to Admin>Tools>Developers Tool Kit and searching under "Look-up in all files" in "All Files - Catalogue and Admin". Search for the whole phrase verbatim, or part of it if you get no results. That should show you the file and line number of where you can edit the text.

If it is an order total module, it will most likely be /YOURWEBADDRESS.COM/includes/languages/YOURLANGUAGE/modules/order_total/THENAMEOFTHEMOD.PHP

Hope this helps.

The language on the promotional pages is still generated by Quantity Discounts, not the promotional pages themselves. The promotional pages just provide a container for the discount information. You'll want to look at

./includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_quantity_discount.php

The trouble is, the statements themselves are sort of woven together word by word, so you might need to change the code file as well (i.e. ./includes/modules/order_total/ot_quantity_discount.php) to get the end result you want.

Good luck,
Scott

Thanks guys for your quick response. I went with Scott's direct approach, (him being the author and all) but as a newbie it's good to be reminded of stuff you just gloss over when you're trying to get your shop up and running - so thanks Fergus too. I amended the BASIS_CART definition in ./includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_quantity_discount.php and all works like a dream.

We've been mainly using an asp cms to develop websites until now and so are new to zencart, but I have to say I think we've got to grips with the basics quite quickly and it's so powerful, especially with really useful add-ons like this one. We're here to stay!

On another note, I'm thinking of using zen for a restaurant in-house order placement application - can you please advise where's the best place to discuss requirements and design?

Thanks for all your help and hard work.
Best regards,
Phil

I've just installed the mod and everything works great, good mod.

Is there a way to have the Unit Price in the shopping cart reflect the quantity price instead of the original price?

If that could be done, would that means we can just hide the quantity discount line during checkout since the unit price would add up correct to the total then?

Thanks,

Well, after placing plans to integrate this mod with our website on the shelves, I'm dusting it off again.

So far, I've have the mod working beautifully right now in most aspects. The only problem I seem to be having is re-calculating tax. It appears that the discount is only re-calculating the tax on shipping (5% GST in Canada), and not the actual tax on the items (5% GST + 8% PST).

I know others have experienced the same issue, and I'm curious if there's a way to work around this? The problem is that the 8% PST may not always be charged; it all depends where it's being shipped too.

Does anyone have some ideas to get me started?

I have a client site with the Minimum Order add-on module installed. Client now wants to offer quantity discounts when total purchased is $250/$500/$1000.

Will this mod play nice with the minimum order mod?

Thanks,

Tina

I have no idea. Test carefully before installation in a live shop.

FYI,

I installed this mod and haven't had any issues with the Minimum Order mod (although I set the minimum order value to -0-).

Great mod. Thanks!
