Better Together Contribution Support Thread

You are correct - I just updated the example code above.

Hi Everyone...

I have a lady asking me about this module or one like it. She is wanting to install a BOGO type deal but I need to know if this module is "user friendly" enough that I can install it and leave her alone with it or does this module require manual coding for discounts and BOGO's?

I have looked into all kinds of other modules...if any one can point me in the right direction that I might be able to offer this installation without much supervision or a module available that I can be licensed to use on multiple installs if need be.

Thanks. :)

The module itself requires file edits to set the discounts. The additional admin panel makes it simple.

That's what I thought...I was looking for something that I could possibly use commercially that offers me a license to use on multiple sites and not have to leave my customers with trying to figure out how to change or add code themselves. Thanks for your response.

Hi,

I have installed the latest files but I can't see under the Tools menu. I have the zencat 1.5.1.
I've read on your site that I need to install 'Run the bt_admin_upgrade.sql file against your database.' There was NO 'bt_admin_upgrade.sql ' included in the files when I had downloaded them.

What's wrong?

I have also installed the the old paid version 2.0 and I still cannot see it in the Admin Tools.

Can you please help. Thanks

See PM. Please contact me privately, not over the forum, for help with paid work.

Hi there,
Just read the posts and have used my "search tool" in Chrome, but I couldn't see an answer.

Can this be used, or altered to allow for previous orders.

The situation:
My customers have purchased (A) over a 2yr period. We are now upgrading the product to version (B), we want our existing customers (A) to be able to purchase (B) at a discounted price.
A = $20
B = $30
Customers of (A) need only pay $10 for (B)

We can do a work around, mail out to the customers a coupon code (run an SQL Report then mail merge) with a discount, however it runs the risk of abuse, even with safeguards in place (limited number, limited use etc).

However I like this module and have use of it down the track and over the next few months we will be doing this for a number of our products.

Thank you.

v1.51

No, it doesn't take into account historical purchases, only the current purchase.

Thanks Scott,
Is there a way to make a work around, or insert some code to allow it to check for historical purchases?

Cheers :)

It's software. You can make it do whatever you'd like. :)

Ok, I have products that are linked into multiple different categories, is there a way to have a product have several different Better Together options?

Live situation:

• I have a bar of soap that is in "Bar Soap", "Porefection", and "Friday Cyber Week Sale" categories
• because it's in the category "bar soap", I want a cross sell to a product (an accessory that should be a cross sell for ALL bar soaps)
• because it's in the "Porefection" category, I want to cross sell all products in that category with all other products in that category. The other items in this category are NOT bar soap.
• on Friday, I what everything in the "Porefection" category to be Buy one Get one half price. BUT ALSO, have the soap keep the cross sell to the accessory.

Some of my products have up to 6 linked categories!!!!

Thanks!
Leslie

Better Together uses the master categories id field in the products table; it doesn't know about linked categories.

I would like to do the following:
Buy product A and get $5 off on 1 of product B
Buy product A and get $10 off on 2 of product B
If you wish to buy more of Product B, you can but at the normal price

Is this possible with the current module and if so what must my function setup look like?

Currently my function setup looks as follows:
$this->add_prod_to_prod(89, 91, '$', 10);

you cannot do this with Better Together. You can do:

Buy product A and get $5 off on 1 of product B

or

Buy product A and get $5 off on any number of product B (using the one-to-many behavior).

That's all.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned.. but it seems that after editing the order manually (adding new products) the discount adds to the total amount instead of being deducted.

I saw the second but its not going to suit what I have in mind.
Thanks Scott

Some versions of Edit Orders require tweaks to work correctly with my discount mods. (I thought the latest Edit Orders had fixed this - are you running the most recent mod on the most recent Zen Cart?) Here are the original instructions I posted on fixing this:

http://thecartblog.com/2009/12/21/zen-cart-edit-orders-and-my-discounting-mods/

A small change was made to Better Together to allow the new One to Many feature to properly interoperate with Checkout Candy. If you don't use Checkout Candy, you don't need this update.

The error looks something like this:

PHP Warning:  Missing argument 3 for ot_better_together::get_discount(), called in /includes/functions/extra_functions/checkout_candy.php on line 22 and defined in /includes/modules/order_total/ot_better_together.php on line 295

Version 2.5.1 of Better Together fixes this issue.

Hi SWGUY, Thanks for this very beautiful mod on Zencart.
I have installed this recently and I have a small issue (instead clarification). I am using the this code in my setup function: $this->add_cat_to_cat(5, 2, "$", 150); But if any product in Catagory 2 has price less than 150 (lets say 100), then I expect to have only $100 to be reduce from the total amount. But in this case $150is reduced from the Order total, which is not good for my newly started business :)

However, I tested for %, (5, 2, "%", 80), and it works fine, as it reduces 80% from the product price of catagory 2.
Not sure if it is designed to work in this way only.
