Quantity Discounts for 1.3

[swguy]

You have to write code to do this sort of thing. Use the apply_special_item_discount() user exit. It's described in the help on my home page.

Upon installing the Quantity Discounts mod together with the marketing promo in my 1.3.8a, I notice much to my annoyance that there are two lines of space between the "Store Quantity Discount Policy" heading and the discount schedule on all product pages with the promo, but not on the Quantity Discounts Promo page itself. What I wish is to have only one line, or rather 1em of space, between the heading and the schedule.

One of these lines (the topmost) is due to my forcing a margin-bottom: 1em; under all headings and paragraphs via the css, and I have no intention of removing this facility.

However, the other line of space completely eludes me, having played with many a margin and padding in the css's and even searched for excess <br /> in the program files.

As my site is not live, I am unable to provide a link.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[FONT="Verdana"]My taxes are getting all screwed up and as far as I can see everything is set up correctly. Can someone offer me some advice?

I am only charging sales tax to FL.
My shipping is a flat rate of $3.95
I have a discount set up so if they order 2 they get a 5% discount

In my quality discounts I have the Re-Calculate Tax set to standard.

Here is what I get when I do this for one item:

1 x Appalachian Pages 2009 Northbound 0% $15.95
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$3.95 Zone Rates (Shipping to US):
$0.00 Sales Tax:
$0.24 FL TAX 6.0%:
$20.14 Total:

Here is what I get when I order two items:

2 x Appalachian Pages 2009 Northbound 0% $31.90
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$3.95 Zone Rates (Shipping to US):
-$1.70 Quantity Discount:
$0.00 Sales Tax:
$0.14 FL TAX 6.0%:
$34.29 Total:

If you look at this you will see that the sales tax for FL is less when the total amount is higher. This is not right, the more the cost the more the sales tax should be.

I must be doing something wrong. Can someone offer some advice?[/FONT]

The way to solve problems like this is to create a static table with the same contents with your own styling, get the appearance the way you want, then work backwards to see the code changes you need to do to get the marketing text displayed this way.

If you look at your figures, you're not charging sales tax on your product. In the first case you're charging tax on your shipping; in the second case you're charging tax on your shipping less quantity discounts.

All theory aside, I suppose the question I should have asked is what css affects the display of the discount schedule. As I could not find any styling in your code, I spent many hours tinkering with my css but to no avail. Is the answer in the css.

If you copy and pasted the marketing text off my site, it will say something like:

echo '<div class="content" id="discountPolicy3">';

Plus most of these things create tables so you'd get the table styling.

Thanks for such a quick response.

I have neither a class="content" nor id="discountPolicy3" in any of my css, although I do have a rem'd id="content" and I did create an id="discountPolicy1" in my stylesheet.css based on the styling in your Quantity Discounts Marketing Example 1 Code, which is what I am using.

In id="discountPolicy1", I have set both the margin and padding to 0, and there is nothing else therein that affects the layout. I suppose I could create a class="h2discountPolicy1" with margin-bottom set to zero.

I fear I may not have grasped the logic of <div class="x" id="y">, which I tend to treat as one or the other, but not a concatenation or subservience. Any heads up?

I cannot comment on any table styling until I am next at work.

I appreciate your help.

We just installed ZenCart and snatched up your module right away! We have discount tiers here based on order sub-totals... this thing rocks! Thanks so much for your contribution.

...I suppose I could create a class="h2discountPolicy1" with margin-bottom set to zero.

Further to my above post (#348) I solved the excess space issue by creating a css class="discountpolicy1 h4" with {margin-bottom:0;} to negate the retained class="h4" with {margin-bottom:1em;}.
