And does your update support ZC 1.38a?

Regarding creating a "new file type", what is meant by that?

Hi Woody,

The above attached file is rather an example of how to do quantity discounts and not meant to be a full update to EP v1.2.5.5. That would require more time and testing in addition to making modifications to the admin selectable options.

I have added my own fields for download and also recently even added fields to my products database (products_price_UOM for example so I can list my prices as ea cs bx, etcetera). Extending this functionality to be broadly compatible for all users is again time consuming and would require further testing.

What I meant by "new file type" is that I made a new download type for products/price/and quantity breaks. Again, I've since changed this to include my own products_price_UOM but left that out of the above file since a user would need to modify their database and other core files...

I have also added fields for v_product_is_call v_products_sort_order v_products_quantity_order_min v_products_quantity_order_units because these are relevant to our business. All of these are rather easy to add since they are stored in the products database.

IF IF IF I can get the time AND figure out the attributes features I may do a full update to EP Free. The attributes look like a pain in the arse... more difficult than quantity breaks which turned out to be quite simple. At the same time I'd rather do a "configurable" download that would let you select the fields you need from the products database and download just those. This would be more useful in the long run and "hopefully" eliminate the need to modify the code manually.

So I posted this code for the more gear minded users to ponder and give feed back on, and for those that have been desperate for a quantity breaks update feature that has been sorely lacking to date.

I am using 1.38a but this should also work with 1.37 provided you check your database for added fields.
