Discount Coupon Guide?!

[Ajeh]

I have a question as well. I have had my store now for about a year and I have never noticed the pull down menu under coupon admin which allows you to view "inactive" coupons. I want to delete the inactive ones all together but when I choose that option it just deactivates them again.

For a specific example... I have a coupon code that i deleted a while back. The dates on it are still good and should be working if I had not deactivated it.

My questions are these:
1 - How do I completely delete this coupon code, whether active or inactive, so I can add a new one with the same code?
2 - If I want to reactivate this inactive coupon code, where and how is this achieved?(I do not see how to do this in the coupon admin).

Thank you.

OK, another question then.... When I am viewing the inactive codes and I click on restrictions.... it says

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Do you know why this is? Is it because the code is dead and does not have restrictions anymore?

It would be nice to somehow be able to delete them. Maybe someday... Thank you for your quick response too.

No idea ... do you have an Add On for Admin levels or something on your site?

I installed a GC module a while back. i think it was called Gift Voucher Admin. But it deals with Gift certificates, not coupons as far as I know.

Go to your Zen Cart Admin to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:
security clearance

and select Catalog/Admin ... then click search ...

See if that helps identify where this is coming from ...

It gave me this:

/home/user/public_html/store/admin/denied.php

Line #40 : <h1>Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.</h1>

Sounds like you have Admin Profiles installed and that this page has not been defined for your access ...

Hi everyone

I am currently using version v1.3.9f.

As a promotional aspect to my site I offer discount coupons as prizes for a monthly competition. Is there any way I can offer a £10 discount coupon which the customer does not have to use in one transaction?

I would like somehow to be able to offer the voucher, and if say the customer used £4 of that voucher the remaining £6 would still be redeemable at a later date.

I apologise if this question has already been answered, I have read through all of these posts and the FAQ but am not really getting very far in the process.

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much for taking the time to read my post

Is this still the issue, or has this been reconsidered in an update since? I have a coupon code that I use weekly and accidently deleted it. If the case is that you cannot reactivate, nor completely delete, nor create another coupon with same code, what files would I go into to remove the information of the coupon code so that I may create another one exactly the same? Basically tricking the cart into thinking there was never that code and completely removing it.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

If you look at the Inactive Coupons, does it show?

If so ... is the only thing that happened to the Discount Coupon that you accidentally marked it Inactive?

Or ... did you delete it from the database in another manner such as through phpMyAdmin?
