Nevermind, I see the page for that, discount preview!

I will have to add that someday!

I'm trying to set a discount for a specific product; I added the following code to the "apply_special_item_discount()" function:
case 397:
if ($count > 3 and $count < 6) {
$disc_amount = 6;
}
elseif($count > 6) {
$disc_amount = 12;
}
break;

But it's not working! Am I missing something, did I miss a step?

Remember that apply_special_item_discount can only be used with Discount Basis "Total By Item." I suspect you're using a different basis.

Here's a screenshot of my settings, let me know if you need to see anything else.

Where do I specify which categories to exclude from the discount? I just installed your most recent version.

I've looked in your info, but can't figure out where to do it.

Thanks!

Where do I specify which categories to exclude from the discount?

The exclude_category function allows you to exclude categories which should not be discounted.

The exclude_category function allows you to exclude categories which should not be discounted.

So, I need to change the actual files? It's not something I do through the admin page of my cart?

Also, I'm looking at the info on your website. Do I need to paste in the patch that you mentioned (above the calculate_decuctions() )?

I found where to do this in the php file, starting with line 190:

// Add categories you wish to exclude to exclude_category()
if ($this->exclude_category($products[$i]['category'])) {
continue;

and the category I want to exclude is #111, but I'm not sure where to put it in the above code.

Ok, I figured it out! I found your faq on how to do it, but was confused because I couldn't find the code used in your example:
function exclude_category($category) {
switch($category) {

But I searched again, and found it near the top, starting with about line 16.

So THANKS! I just tried it, and it worked with my changes.

I have a question. I am trying to setup quantity discounts for 12 units, 24 units, 36 units, and 48 units. I want the discount to ONLY affect those quantities, not the quantities in between. For example, 13 units gets no discount, 14 units gets no discount, etc. I tried setting 12 units and 10 as the percent off and then 13 units and 0 percent off, then 24 units as 10 percent off,etc. but it did not work. Any suggestions?
