Is it possible to create a sale on all products by a manufacturer?
My sale maker gives me an all product sale option and category sale option, but not by manufacturer... how can I do this?
Oba-san
Add all products for a Manufacturer to a new Category called that Manufacturer's name ...
Add all of the Products as Linked Products to the Category ...
Make this the master_categories_id for the Products ...
Now put it on Sale with Sale Maker ...
The Products will use this setting for all of their display prices ...

I did this and it worked, but is there a way for the manufacturer name category not to be visible?
Oba-san
Make a Category called HIDDEN ...
Set the Category HIDDEN to categories_status = 0 or OFF
Move all the Manufactuer Categories into HIDDEN
Now they do not show from the Cat box ...

The Products must have their master_categories_id set to the categories_id that is on Sale ...

Edit one of the Products ...
If it is a Linked Product, then you see a dropdown where it says which categories_id is set to be the master_categories_id

I am doubting that is an issue here ...
But in checking, just edit the product and see if it is marked:
Priced by Attribute YES
What are the settings that you are using on the Sale?
Is the Sale Active?

just checked the setting on the sale ::
Deduction : 60 Percent
Products Pricerange : 0.0000 to 100.0000
If a Product is a Special : Ignore Specials Price - Apply to Product Price and Replace Special
Starts : Immediately
Expires : 08/07/2006
and it's got the green active light on.
Oba-san
And you have marked a category for this?
And those Products in the marked Category are using that categories_id as their master_categories_id

You are most welcome ... :smile:
Glad you have a better understanding of the master_categories_id and the relationship to product price for working with things like the Sale Maker Discounts ...
