Better Together Contribution Support Thread

I have am testing this mod for a client and looking to meet their needs for a Buy 2 items at the regular price and get the third item for free.

I see in the ot_better_together.php in the modules\order_total

that is is capable of computing a 2 for 1 for a product and its capable of computing a 2 for 1 for products in an entire category.

What I am looking for is to have it compute for a 3 for 1 in both.

I have been able to effect some changes but not the right discount calculations needed at step 2 of the checkout process.

Is there any one that help guide me to where I can make the necessary changes or how it would be done.

Thanks!

Response by PM.

Thanks so much for making this mod!! Just installed it on a ZC v1.3.9b and ran into a couple issues.

1. I added code where if a customer buys a certain product they can get 50% off a handful of others (each one was in a separate line of code). It worked perfect on the store pages, but upon checkout the discount was only showing for the first of the 50% items listed in the code. So if you had some of the others that were allowed the 50%, their discounts weren't being added to the total discounted. I got around this my just offering a single 50% item, but would like the option to do more.

2. Added the code to display the "Items you might also be interested in" at the bottom of some of the product pages. Only problem is the product thumbs stack vertically, not in a 3x horizontal grid.

Any suggestions for fixing these 2 issues? Again, thanks for the awesome mod.

Question 1: see PM.
Question 2: The cross sell display uses the columnar display template; perhaps you have customized that?

Wow that was the fastest response I've ever gotten on a forum.

I can't remember about the template you mentioned, I did mod some CSS for colors at one point. Can you point me to where the columnar display template is located?

Thank you very much for creating this awesome module!

How would I go about implementing the following scenario?

Say I sell shirts and pants. Shirts belong to category one and pants belong to category two. If I enter the following, customers receive $1 off every shirt when they purchase a pair of pants:

$this->add_cat_to_cat(2,1,"$", 1);

Is there any way to limit the amount of discounts? I want customers to only receive $1 off, regardless if they purchase one shirt and one pair of pants or 100 shirts and 100 pair of pants.

I hope that makes sense. Thank you in advance for any help.

Limits like this are not built in to Better Together. See PM for other ideas.

Thank you.

Is there any way to change the centerbox's text? I want it to say something other than "Buy this item, get an item...".

The text is generated by Better Together itself. There's no easy way to change it.

Hello everyone,Haven't installed it yet- but thanks for Releasing it Scott! I have a client that is interested already - will let you know if we have any problems.Thanks.

Just installed this add-on...very nice!

I have noticed that when recalculating tax (Standard), I get extra tax for shipping that is already included in my taxable base.

Here's the order in which I want this to work...

Order Subtotal (sort order 100)
BT Discount (sort order 150 - include tax = F, recalculate tax = Standard)
Shipping (sort order 200 - shipping is taxable goods)
Tax (sort order 300)
Order total (sort order 999)

I have coded $this->add_cat_to_cat(38, 38, "%", 100); (BOGO in the same category)

I put two $10 items from the same category in the cart - tax rate is 9%.

$20.00 Sub-Total: - Correct
-$10.00 Better Together Discount: - Correct
$5.50 Table Rate (2-3 Day USPS): - Correct

$1.90 Tax: - Incorrect - should be ($20 - 10 + 5.50) * .09 = 1.40 (the extra $0.50 is 9% of the 5.50 shipping again)

$17.40 Total: - Incorrect - should be $16.90

Anyone seen this?

Here's what I want to do:
Customer buys product A with option 1 and product B with option 1 and gets a discount.

Customer buys product A with option 1 and B with option 2 and gets no discount.

Customer buys product A with option 2 and B with option 2 and gets a discount.

Is this possible?

No - Better Together does not consider attributes.

Thanks for the mod. This is what I would like to do. If a customer by at least $100.00 of product378, 411, 0r 412, they receive product y in category 1 at half price.

This is what I have

$this->add_prod_to_cat(378,1,"%", 50);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(411,1,"%", 50);
$this->add_prod_to_cat(412,1,"%", 50);

How would I set a condition where the total would hae to be equal to or greater than $100.00.

TIA Tom :cool:

Better Together does not do this sort of thing. See PM.

Hello, I use zencart 1.3.8a and I would be maybe interested by Better Together module. But I don't know if that fit my requirements. I haven't find the answer yet. Maybe because I'm not fluent in english. I would like to offer the folowing discount :

If you buy any product from the catalog, get the item X a discount.

Thanks in advance

Better Together does not do this type of discounting.

Is there a way to set it to do something like:
buy 12 of product A, get 6 of product B Free?

If not, other suggestions???

Thanks!!!

It is not possible to do buy 12 get 6 free with Better Together. See PM.

Hi question for software guy, great module by the way. I have just installed it and thought it was the answers to my prayers but not so sure now ... basically I thought that I could code it so that the offer would be buy productId 49, 50, 55, 57 and get 40 free for example. Is this not possible??:flex:
