Better Together Contribution Support Thread

This is not possible with Better Together. See PM.

Hello, we have the better together mod and admin panel and sinse we upgraded the site it no longer shows the discounts on product or at checkout, we have 1.3.9h :shocking:

Then you've done something wrong in your upgrade. It works fine in 1.3.9.

i might have found a code error, where can i report it? here?

Rob

Well, normally I use the cone of silence, but just this once I guess we can use the Zen Cart forum.

these relate to a </span> tag which the problem still exists on your site

it appeared in tpl_better_together_marketing.php line 18
echo '<span class="bbn_button_noimg">' . $marketing_data[$i]['bbn_string'] . '</span">';
i only noticed whilst i was removing errors from my pages, i noticed a " before the >
echo '<span class="bbn_button_noimg">' . $marketing_data[$i]['bbn_string'] . '</span>';

this appeared in
tpl_better_together_marketing_images.php
tpl_bettertogether_promo_default.php

one of these, is a paid for and was different to what's up there, i did download the promo one from your site and the (im assuming its an error) error still exists

Better Together 2.3a (July 23, 2010) fixed this for the main module.
You're right, I still had a link to the old zip which I hosted, even though I fixed it in the Zen Cart download area. Bad idea - removed.
And it was a bug in Add Both to Cart, which I just fixed.

Thanks for reporting this!

Zen 1.3.9h

http://www.helibenchstock.com

I just installed better together. I am very ignorent when it comes to any type of programming. I have one category named hardware and 3 sub categories that I want buy one get any other of equal or lesser value free from any of those 3 categories.

I added these linkages which I do not know if they are correct:

function setup() {
$this->add_cat_to_cat(5,5,"%", 100);
$this->add_cat_to_cat(4,4,"%", 100);
$this->add_cat_to_cat(6,6,"%", 100);
$this->add_cat_to_cat(5,4,"%", 100);
$this->add_cat_to_cat(5,6,"%", 100);
$this->add_cat_to_cat(4,6,"%", 100);

}

But during step two of check out I do not see any discount. Please help.

Thank you.

Category problems are very common. Here are some things to look at:

Thank you for the link swguy...but I am still very lost. Is my linkage code correct? Each number up there is a sub category to my main category which is hardware.

For example: I got the numbers from the zen cart admin
Screws=4
washers=5
nuts=6

So I have them all linked. Should this work assuming everything else is correct?

Hi all, I have copied all the better together files into myt server but the Better Together Discount option does not appear under admin->module->order total ..

I want to buy the admin panel as well but I have to fix this part first..
Any idea about this issue??

Thanks in advance

Are you sure there aren't other issues preventing you from completely loading this page? For example, do you see the page footer in admin->modules->order total (it should say "E-commerce Engine copyright ..." with a link to zen-cart.com). If not, look in the cache folder for error logs.

Thanks swguy for your reply.

I had a look at the page and the page load properly even the footer and everything...

I checked all the files again and they are on their own place but still the module does not appear ;(

Any other idea??
Thank you again.

It's hard to know what you might have done wrong.

Take a look at my "Rookie's Guide" to mod installation.

I want to offer a discount on category B if you buy form Categories A,C, or D I think this can be done, but can I exclude a few items from the discount in category B? or would I need to make another category for those items?
Thanks

There's no easy way in Better Together to exclude specific items in a category.

Thank you for your quick reply. I have master category 5 with sub categories 6 & 7. I want to offer a discount on master category 16 with subs, 24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31
if I use
$this->add_cat_to_cat(5, 16, "%", 10);
no discount is given, but marketing message shows buy from 5 receive 10% off 16.
when I add rules for all subcategory discount is given.
Is this how I need to setup? if so
Can marketing message be tweeked so that it does not list all subcategories?
Thank you

If you see "Buy 5 get 10% off" then this is the marketing text for Quantity Discounts, not Better Together.

Your other question suggests you may not be clear about what a master category is. Although categories have subcategories, products only have one master category, and only master category numbers may be used with Better Together. If you have category 5 with subcategories 6 and 7, you can only use 6 and 7 in Better Together; category 5 will not be the master category of any product (since it contains subcategories).

This is the documentation I have provided on category handling:
http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_category_issues.html

Thank you I reset my master categories and it looks like it works fine. Can I add to the discount text on the item page that discount taken at checkout?
if show how?
Thanks again
