Better Together Contribution Support Thread

Had been using this mod successfully for the last 12 months where you'd buy 1 product and get the other at 50% off.

Then we sold out of the 1 product, so I went into the ot_better_together.php file and updated the code to another product.

The product pages are showing the discount correctly.

However the discount doesn't show up at checkout, the 50% product is not even listed there.

Haven't upgraded ZC or anything, still on v1.3.9b.

Any solution?

Double check your change. If you're using a CAT linkage instead of a PROD one, double check the master categories id of the product in question.

Everything is correct.

$this->add_prod_to_prod(283, 267, "%", 50);

Clearly something is not correct, or you wouldn't have this problem.

Double check the file on your server and make sure it has been updated the way you think it has. Check to see if Better Together shows as being installed in Admin->modules->order total. If you are running SEO URLs turn them off and triple check the id's of the products.

There is nothing organic in Better Together that would cause it to suddenly break down. Something has changed in your environment.

File is correct.

Module is installed.

Not using SEO URLs.

Triple checked, IDs are correct.

I have installed the mod accordingly, but where on the store will this Combo sell show? It does not come up anywhere??

Do I have to do something more than what the instructions say in the readme file for the customers to be able to see my better together sale?

You could use the marketing text, which is described in the readme file.
You could use the Promotional Page, which is described in the readme file.
You can use the Better Together Centerbox, which is another contribution in the Free Software Add Ons.
You can refer to the in-depth documentation on my site, a link to which is provided in the readme.

I put in this text in the correct file and copied it to the (or should I delete it from template_default?) /classic/templates

nothing is showing anywhere on the site? maybe I'm too noob, lol

<!--bof Product description --> <?php if ($products_description != '') { ?> <div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div> <?php } ?> <!--eof Product description --> <br class="clearBoth" /> <!--better together --> <?php require($template->get_template_dir('/tpl_better_together_marketing.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates').

no it is working, I did just not find it... it is under product description... would like the combos to be shown on the main page though?

My better together module seem to work fine in the store, the discounts are coming up as they should and being displayed. But when the costumer orders a discounted combo, it does not work. Nothing is shown anywhere on invoice or calculations?

Why can this be?

my site is https://www.pbmarkers.co.nz

It works when I specifically discount one product with another, but not when I discount a whole category with one product? Is this how it should be?

Please read the documentation on categories - most likely the category isn't what you think it is.

can any one tell me how to do this
buy 2 items for $10 using better together or any another mod..

i m using 1.3.9h

thanx in advance.. :smile:

Better Together provides a discount, not a final price.

Hello,

I have four products, each of which has four attributes with their own prices.

Product A
Option 1 ($10)
Option 2 ($25)
Option 3 ($50)
Option 4 ($100)

Product B
Option 1 ($10)
Option 2 ($25)
Option 3 ($50)
Option 4 ($100)

etc...

I would like to be able to offer a sale where if a shopper buys "Product A Option 1" and "Product B Option 1", they receive a 30% discount on the total price of those two products. I do NOT want any of the other attributes to be considered for discounts.

Is this possible with Better Together (or any other mod)? Or am I thinking about things all wrong and missing a simpler way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

This is not possible with Better Together.

Greetings swguy, thanks for sticking with me today. Weird, but the missing emails showed up this evening. Anyway, I have installed:

• better_2.3b
• bt_admin_3.1
• bt_admin_xajax
• candy_1.3.9_5
• center_better_1.0a
• marketing
• preview_1.3.9_8_subtotal
• promo_better_2.2a

Everything is up and running without any hassle and I have very little experience working with this type of customization. Well done on your part!

The only question I have is the "Better Together" display on the product_display_page. On my site, it is just a simple line of text with the correct linked information but what needs to be done (or what might I have missed) to get it "boxed" so that it stands out as in your example? I would prefer it to look like the example you gave with the field set.

Any help you or anyone else can offer would be appreciated.

Modify includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_better_together_marketing.php.

Above

    echo '<div class="content" id="betterTogetherDiscountPolicy">';

add
echo '<fieldset>';
echo '<legend>' . MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_BETTER_TOGETHER_TITLE . '</legend>';

then below

    echo '</div>';

add

    echo '</fieldset>';

BTW, thanks for your kind words.

I also updated the help page with these instructions.

Thanks! Looks very nice on the product page plus with the "Candy" package, I should be able to get some stale inventory moving!

This Zen-challenged fellow found all the different modules that I installed very easy, even the file merge with candy/discount preview. Now, I might redo my products so that their attributes make them individual products then I could use the "Buy Now" button options you offer. A lot of people use the quick spur of the moment mouse click to make a buying decision. Give them a couple of extra pages to move through and and the outcome at checkout might be different!
