Will that fix it all?

Something I just found by looking at de code the browser gets:

<td align="right" class="smallText">
<input name="update_totals[4][title]" size="219" value="<a href="javascript:alert(" uw="" huidige="" hoeveelheidskorting\n\n="" 5="" speciale="" wierookstokjes="" produkten@€7.50="" *="" 33.3333%="€2.50" (totaal="€2.50)\n\n\n\nTotale" korting:="" €2.50');"=""/>
Hoeveelheidskorting
:'>
</td>

I've just changed the files but there is no change in the display.

The screenshot you gave was using order edit. Existing orders will still have the extraneous text but new orders will not. If you want to change existing orders you would have to use phpMyAdmin.

[Philibel]

And if it still appears I'll have to look at edit_orders, correct?

Thanks for your help.

[FONT="Verdana"]Hi,

I apologise if this has already been answered, but I have been trawling through the posts on here and cannot find a definitive answer so I thought I'd just ask outright.

What I want to do is this :-

I want people to be able to shop for my Christmas Cards in a different way to the rest of my card shop, i.e. 'pick and mix' style Christmas Cards so that people can basically put together their own packs from a choice of individual ones, getting greater discounts the more they buy.

The rest of my shop is set up as simple "add to basket" style pricing, with a little bit of "priced by attributes" in there.

However, for the Christmas Cards I thought from the description of the mod that if I had all the "pick and mix" cards in a single category, I would be able to use this mod to only apply multiple purchase discounts to that category (without affecting the others). For example : 1 card for 99p, 2-4 for 75p, 5-9 for 60p, 10+ for 50p per card.

I have had a look at this page http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...ry_issues.html as suggested on some of the other replies, and was wondering if I needed to add in a 'case' statement for the specific category number at function apply_special_category_discount but nothing I try seems to be working.

Could you please tell me if I'm on the right track, or if I'm trying to make your mod do something it's not meant to do?

Thanks in advance,

Kristabel

One caveat about this: you can't set the final price with quantity discounts, only the discounted amount. So you can do "Buy 3 get 10p off each" but not "Buy 3, and set the price to 30p each."

[FONT="Verdana"]But if all the products in that "pick and mix" category were under the same pricing structure then I could discount accordingly right?

For example,

99p for (any) one card in that category
25% discount for 2-4 cards in that category
50% discount for 5-9 cards in that category, etc

?

But assuming that's right, does the rest of what I want to do make sense for using your mod to do it with?

I'm going to spend time tonight working on it, but I don't want to spend hours figuring out the exact way to get it working if you know it's something I'm not going to be able to do.

By listing the eligible categories in the exclude function (see examples on my home page of how to do this), and setting quantity discounts to count ALL items in the cart, you can do this, but you are of course limited to one discounting schedule. You couldn't do one quantity discounts for cards, another for some other type of item.

Hi, just wanted to say that I got it working just how I want it thanks I hadn't read the bit that says it doesn't show the discount until Step 2 of the Checkout process, but now I know that I've been able to add some text in to explain this to the customers, and I've edited the javascript alert link a bit too and it's working nicely.

Even better, I've been able to apply one set of discounts to the "mix & match" individual Xmas cards, and another set of discounts to the Xmas card packs (as I don't want to discount them quite as much!)

Thanks again
