Better Together Contribution Support Thread

OK. This is a bug in Edit Orders 4.1; I will work on getting a fix in place this month.

Better Together 2.5 has just been released; this version has support for "one to many" discounts. So if you have

Buy item 10, get item 20 for 25% off
Buy item 10, get item 30 for 25% off
Buy item 10, get item 40 for 15% off

In the past, when the customer has 1 each of items 10,20,30 and 40 in the cart, only the first discount would run, and item 10 would be removed from the list of items available for fulfilling a condition.

Now, if you want all three discounts to fire when the customer has items 10,20,30 and 40 in the cart, you can set the flag "One to Many = 1" in Admin->Modules->Order Total->Better Together. Setting One to Many = 2 will allow the discount to repeat if you have multiple of items 20, 30 or 40 in the cart, but only one item 10.

Thanks swguy. Just so you know, lhungil has been working on some improvements to EO 4.1 and might already be working on fixing this bug. ~magz

It didn't load which is why I asked :cool: but thanks

It's working for me. Try a shorter url, maybe that's the problem:

It worked when you posted it it didn't work from wherever I found it :) sorry I wasn't clear.
Thanks a ton! About to test it with our boot site!

These demo URLs are also provided in the help page on my site.

Hi

I understand how better together works, but I am trying to figure out if it is the correct plugin I need to solve the problem I have.

I have a category that is two for the price of, so for example, one product cost X but buy two of those products and get it for price y. if the customer buys three products they get the discount on the first two but not the third but again on four products the discount is given.

I have messed about with this plug in but it doesn't entirely achieve what I would like. so either A; I haven't correctly set it up or B: I need something else to achieve the result I am looking for...

Thanks for any help.

Better Together doesn't work exactly this way.

It is a discount module, and the price reduction is structured as a discount off the second item (not the final price of A+B).

So if A and B are linked, buy A+B will give 1x the B discount. Buy A + 2B still gives 1x the B discount. Buy 2A + 2B gives 2x the B discount.

Is there a plug in that will possibly create what I need.

Thanks for your time

Hi all,
Glancing through the thread and the forum I am unable to find anything about the below scenario so hopefully there's a solution:

Using Zen 1.51
Better Together: Xsell (cross-sell), most recent.

Add two items under the xsell, one item sells. The item that sold is still showing up in the cross sell, since I list items in a SOLD category, but they ALL have the quantity of zero (0).

So, where can I tell xsell NOT to show items with the quantity of zero (0)?

Thanks
GJW

Please post your setup() function (or at least the relevant lines).

Hi Scott,
function setup() {

$this->add_prod_to_prod(6753, 6744, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6744, 6753, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6585, 6589, 'X', 0);
$this->add_prod_to_prod(6589, 6585, 'X', 0);

and on and on....on...and...on and one more on...ok 7,000 more.

I wrote a excel sheet to generate the numbers and insert it into a list, as such, up to the highest current product number and create the opposite set.

Items that do not have a actual item attached to them generate a "S O L D" image and link to the Newest Items Page.

The problem I am having is even if a item is sold (0 quantity) AND/OR the status of the item is OFF. The item is still showing the image in my cross-sell, BUT when clicked it obviously would go to the Newest Items Page since it is not available. Seeing the image, a customer would expect to go to the product rather than the Newest Items List, I'm sure annoyed.

Great work by the way with all of these plug-ins, they are absolutely the best.

Thanks
GJW

OK so looking at

$this->add_prod_to_prod(6753, 6744, 'X', 0);

if you're on 6753 you don't want to show 6744 if it's sold out, right? Then go to includes/modules/order_total/ot_better_together.php and modify the function get_xsell_info(). The block you want is on 676-682 of the latest update.

Before

         if ($match == 1) {
            $info['image'] = $second_image;
            $info['link'] = $disc_href;
            $info['ident'] = $li->ident2;
            $info['name'] = $name;
            $response_arr[] = $info;
         }

add this block of code

         // Don't display out of stock products for xsell if not purchaseable
         if ( ($match == 1) &&
              (($li->flavor == PROD_TO_PROD) || ($li->flavor == CAT_TO_PROD)) ) {
             if ( (zen_get_products_stock($li->ident2) <= 0) &&
                  (STOCK_ALLOW_CHECKOUT == 'false') ) {
                  continue;
             }
         }

Scott,
That worked great. Thank you, I would have never figured that one out.
Just a note regarding that, I'm using prod_to_prod, so I changed it so it reflected that function.

Changed CAT_TO_PROD To PROD_TO_PROD

Thanks again Scott.
