DUAL Pricing v2

d1rage5:

There are several files that you may need to merage together so make sure you have backed up the orginal files (like customers.php) use a program like winmerge to view the orginal and the new one.

FTP all files to your site like in the admin section ftp to the corosponding area.

under your admin directory (or what ever you renames the admin area) has three files then you have two directories uder admin (images and includes) do the same copy files up to the correct directory.

You will need to do the same to the includes directory (this is different then the includes folder under the admin folder.

That should be all you need to do.

please correct me if I am mistaken, if I copy those files to my admin, they will replace the existing folders with the same names, and for example, everything under the existing adim folder (which is a lot of information) will be erased? When I ope the dual pricing I have an admin folder and includes, then 4 readme files... am I looking at the right thing? Where exactly do these folders go? Do I rename them so they don't erase the like-named folders? :frusty:

You are looking in the right place... The files in the admin and includes folders are files that are included in the core code of Zen Cart 1.3.8a. You need to update the files in ZC with these new files (you want the files to be overwritten but not the entire directory, there are many other much needed files in these directories). If you have not installed any other modules before this one you can safely over write the files directly.

There is one folder you will need to change the name on. It is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPlATE/ you need to change the "your_template" to the name of your template.

All this is included in the readme.txt files. I'd read those very carefully.

Ok, tell me if I am understanding you, because the readme file I have is very vague, it says copy the files and then go to admin in zencart... so for example, would I go to the admin folder in the dual pricing folder, and copy the 3 php files (attributes_controller, customers and easypopulate) only and then go to the admin folder of my zencart and just paste them in the main admin folder with all the rest of the existing php files. Then do the same for each folder, copy the php files from each folder and paste them to the corresponding folder in my zencart folder??

Or, do i copy the entire admin folder and paste it in place of the existing admin folder inside my zencart folder?? And the same for the includes folder?? :shocking:

I'm sorry but I have never done ANY of this stuff before, so it's a guessing game for me right now. Thank you for all your help.

yes, don't forget about the templating system in the templates directory.

OK, here's what I did, and it seemed to work, so hope I didn't forget or mess up anything... I copied the admin folder from dual pricing and pasted it in place of the admin forlder in zencart, having it only add the new files and it kept all the old info too, same with the includes folder, it copied all the new stuff for me but left all the old stuff... now im uploading it... we'll see i guess...
But what did you mean by the templating?

theres a section for creating your on custom code this is where this stuff goes.
you may need to read the section on templateing to get a understanding of the this as its a little harder to just spout it out i will see if i can find that info for you but its somewhere under the faq section.

i am using the night_fall template that i modified a little to make it fit our store better... all my folder are name OurTemplate (I know, generic, but easy!) so there was something I was supposed to do to all of these folders... i followed the overide chart and set up all the custom folders, but was some of the pricing stuff supposed to go in there??? aaauuuggghhh I am so confused... i am still waiting for the upload... their server here at work slows the connection, it's crazy! :frusty::frusty::frusty:

i think the only section you have to look at is in the includes, templates, template_default, templates. the two files in this directory would be copied to your custom template, but really only if you are going to do a lot of upgrading to a new version.

But being that the next version (2) most mods will not work and would have to be re-written as its a totally different beast (or i say the code is).

ok, the box in the edit customer is showing up and the wholesale price box is showing up in the product area... I am working on some re-wording, so i think for now all I'm still confused about is this part of the readMe:

To set the wholesale price go to the product and change the wholesale price to be a dash separated list eg.

50.00-30.00-0.00-25.00

you can see that you will have 4 levels of wholesale price available the 3rd level is 0 so customers set to level 3 will get the level 1 price.
In the attributes, you need to use comma separation eg

50.00,30.00,0.00,25,00

Attributes can be set in the same way.

I don't have attributes, but at times i will need up to 4 levels of pricing, how do I do that?

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!! By George, i think i got it!! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Thank you all for your help, trust me i will be back for more! LOL

Hi,
I've installed DP on a heavily modified cart using 1.3.8a. It works exactly as required, except for when adding a special price to a product. For example:

Retail: 18.95
Wholesale: 10.95
Special: 14.95

When the above special is applied, the Wholesale price changes to reflect the new specials price. Wholesale: 14.95. You save -XX%

I've trawled this forum, and found a link for a specials addon, but the link is no longer valid. Does anyone have a copy of the addon or a new link to it? Or does anyone have an idea on how I can fix the above issue.

Cheers!

Hi,
After installing dual price mod to ZC 1.3.8a the shopping cart contents are combined from the previous login and no notice appears. Changing the options in *Admin/Configuration/Stock/Show Notice of Combining Shopping Cart on Login *does not make any difference.

I am not quite sure if it is the dual price mod or any other modications I made in between is causing this malfunction.

Has anyone using the dual price mod experienced this?

Is this the only notice that isn't working for you?

If all notices are down I'd search for a blank line somewhere. I had a minor version of the "blank page" syndrome give me issues with my notices once.

Installing your first module is easy. After that it gets harder because you need to know / find out if any new modules will touch (ie. affect) files that a previous module changed.

Best to keep track of what modules you have installed or going to install and what files they touch.

This is the only notice not working. It was working three weeks ago. All the mods I've installed since then are working as expected. Perhaps it might be due to an unexpected interaction between the mods such as dual pricing, minimum order, shipping rates in cart and so on. May be I will have to uninstall the mods in reverse order and search for a solution or try to disable or prevent merging of cart contents from the previous login. There are a lot of disgruntled people in the forum who dislike the combination of cart contents.

Just tested an install using DP 1.4.2 and the "NOTICE: For your convenience, your current shopping cart..." msg. was shown.

You must have done something somewhere but if it was a module that made a change it would have been to this file:

includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

That is the file with the NOTICE code.

Else you editted your CSS file to not shown the NOTICEs perhaps?

BTW, what do you mean with this statement:

"There are a lot of disgruntled people in the forum who dislike the combination of cart contents."

I have not found any threads to that regard and you can always turn the combination NOTICE off. So I don't see a problem?

I installed the latest version DP 1.5. The only file which replaced the original header_php.php belongs to DP 1.5. I have rechecked it line by line it is the same file and nothing is different.

What I find it interesting is that changing the options in Admin has no effect at all. The cart behaves like it has a default option of "0= OFF, do not display a notice".

The posts I read about dislike of the merging of cart contents were largely due to the pre 1.3.8a versions. If I remember correctly the version 2 will have an option for not to combine contents of the cart.

Hi,
I found the answer why I did not get notice of combining cart contents in thread Saved cart items from previous session from posts #11 to #25.

On post #19 DrByte says "You have to have something "new" in your cart before logging in ... or else the message won't show, because then it's pointless" :dontgetit

I am baffled with the logic of loading cart contents from the previous session when one logins with a new session. The notice only appears if items are added first then login and certainly not the other way round.

I am sorry for taking your time over this matter. There is nothing wrong with the DP mod.

Hi,
Deleting previous session cart contents was provided by DrByte

How can i make this module to work right with specials prices ? I cant find the answer on this forum
