Better Together Contribution Support Thread

ok... thank you... may be a future modification? lol
I'm not developer... so... I will leave it in the way is now
thank you!
btw... I just install the old version... when I notice the new version... with the images in the promotional text... I don't want it... because the images of my site are big to have in the promotional text... in the special page... I delete the images...
can I continue with my old version? or you think is mandatory update?

You don't need to use the images in the promotional page if you don't want them. Just edit

./includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_bettertogether_promo_default.php

and delete the third echo in the loop where the images are printed out.

yes... I do that in the previous version too... for that reason... like I have the mod like I want... will be mandatory the update? just asking...

If you use the new Better Together, you must use the new promotional page, and vice versa.

ok! thanks!

Hello,

I'm using ZenCart 1.3.7.1 with BT 2.1.

I have the following scenario - I want to offer discount CAT TO CAT or PROD TO CAT. So if I add one product from Cat1 and 5 products for Cat2, I want the % discount to be applied to all 5 products in Cat2.

At the moment I think it only applies the discount the product from Cat2 that is cheapest.

Is there a way I can do this, modify something in the code for example?

Thanks

You can't do this with Better Together. Response by PM.

Hi,

I am trying to choose between the discount mods but not sure which will do what I want. I just want a simple buy A and get B at a discount, but want to have it so that the customer can choose how many of B they want, but not more than the qty of A. They have a minimum buy of A if that makes a difference

Eg. They buy 8 A, so they can have 1-8 B's at a discount.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Yes, this is how it works. If A is product 10 and B is product 20, and you do

$this->add_prod_to_prod(10, 20, "%", 50);

You only get 50% off every product 20 for every product 10 you buy.

Thanks man, all your mods rock! Im downlading it now.

ouch my head hurts! is there any easy way of making promotions on this module? Ireally am not confident enough to go editing files etc. I have the module installed and all looks great. i cannot find any interface on the admin panel to easily set up discounts? Am i correct in thinking that all discounts are set up by using codes in the actual files on the server?

ok so turns out i didnt have it installed correctly and now if you look at my home page it is displaying a link to the better together pages but it cuts across the centre and shows as

CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_BETTERTOGETHER_PROMO

and the page it links to displays this....

Home :: NAVBAR_TITLE
HEADING_TITLE

any chance of a quick helping hand to set up 3 discounts which is all i want really for a small fee. wouldn't normally ask but you know your stuff and im installing on a live running store :oops:

Response by PM.

need help with editing the order total file ot_better_together.php im getting a blank page for step 2 in checkout each time I edit it. followed instructions to the letter this time and still nothing!
im using the admin panel if anyone else has had this problem and knows the cause?

editing the following line....

function setup() {
     // Using Better Together Admin?  Uncomment this out

/*
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'better_together_admin.php');
}

and according to the instructions it should be....

function setup() {
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'better_together_admin.php');
}
}

I've already paid 1 $60 fee for the admin panel i really can't afford the other $60 when i know this is the only thing stopping it working :(

To see the error message add following code to the top of admin/includes/application_top.php file (after <?php):

@ini_set('display_errors', '1');

well i have just tried that and it still displays as a plain grey screen :( no error message try it yourself mate i'll pm you the address for my site. All you need to do is make a new account and add 12 months xbox live to the cart and lost game (preowned) which is the only discount i have currently set up.

Does anyone have an answer for this problem, please? I installed the mod today, and everything works until step 2 of checkout when I get a blank page. Checkout works perfectly well when the mod is installed but the ot_better_together.php is NOT altered, but as soon as I try to set a function, I get the error.

I would greatly appreciate some help. :)

I had the same problem and a member of the forum helped me out with it. I'd purchased the admin panel though aswell which makes life so much easier :)

PSP Queen, you need to carefully follow the examples provided in the help

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_better_together.html

For instance, discounting product 12 by 50% when product 14 is purchased:

function setup() {
$this->add_prod_to_prod(14, 12, "%", 50);
}

Other examples are provided in the help.
