Better Together Contribution Support Thread

hello swguy - can your plugin do what I have inquired about in this thread? https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?221264-add-text-message-to-checkout-page-%28step-3%29

cheers, Mike

This is just an upsell message - you don't need Better Together. You could just add the message to your checkout confirmation template.
(Personally, I would recommend putting it on checkout shipping. By the time they are at confirmation, you really want to drive them through and capture the sale, not risk it for a few additional dollars. Alternately you could put it on the checkout success page.)

Thanks for your reply swguy - in hindsight I agree that it should be lower down the process. I managed to put a similar message on the shopping cart page however I had some help in that there existed an "add message here" php for the page and in the template there is a "call that text" line (I just moved it to suit). Problem is I do not have the coding skills to create the code(s) for the php and the call to load .... unless I simply copied them and renamed them for the checkout pages? (thinking as I'm typing) Will give that a try.

cheers, Mike

You can put an Ad in the Commercial Help Wanted forum and find someone who will work with you.

A small update was just submitted - in One to Many mode 2, using identical items in a linkage was not working properly.

A client is using BT and needs to set-up a discount but wants to require three items be purchased together to get the discount. Can that be done with BT? If not, does another one of your plugins offer this?

I think I answered my own question. It's Free Gift Chooser.

Discount Chooser (formerly Free Gift Chooser) is the way to handle requirements like this. Combination Discounts can do it too but it's a more expensive solution.

As I am testing an upgrade from 1.5.0 to 1.5.5, I don't have this mod installed, or at least I don't need it (the products I was using it on are becoming obsolete). Now, in my test upgrade, it is using the DB from the live store. When testing a transaction, I get the message that it is looking for the ot_better_together.php file. Now, it is obviously not there, but I am wondering where it refers to it, so I can remove that reference. Or should I install it and not use it?

You should install it and use it. :)

J/K. Install it, then go to admin-modules-order total-better together, and press the remove button. There are probably lingering database entries that you can delete by doing this.

I did. For years.

Thanks. It fixed the error message. I might keep it... in case ;)

Installed successfully on 1.5.1 Have only done rudimentary testing but creating linkages manually seems to work fine. However the Admin module does not show up in the tool bars. I have verified the install carefully, checking that all files are in the directory they should be, sql scripts have been run but there is no entry in the tool menu.

Ver 1.5.1 - PHP 5.6.31

Anything you can think of that I may have missed?

You missed buying the Admin. It's a separate commercial module, available from my site. :)

No - I purchased the module and followed the installation guide very carefully. As said, I have checked that all files are in the correct location scripts run etc. but no entry in tool menu. No error messages showing wither. Ajax module also installed and checked.

I see you are in Tampa Florida - please stay safe. I guess this hurricane is something to take real serious. I hope you have a safe spot to ride it out. All the best.

TY! We are all hunkered down.
OK, my guess would be you didn't run the separate sql that installs the admin page - it's called bt_admin_150.sql. But please contact me by email ([email protected]) - my commercial stuff isn't supported on the Zen Cart forum.

Keep Safe Scott! Can well relate to what you guys are going to face, "our" Cyclones (different name, same crap) have done us some damage in the recent years....

Hopefully you're now through the worst of it. When you are backup "online" I will email. BTW running the script doesn't help. (Had done this previously anyway)

Ok, need a variation, namely:

1. customer buys 4 of product A and then gets 1 of product X free
2. customer buys 8 of product A and then gets 2 of product X free
3. customer buys 12 of product A and then gets 3 of product X free

So in any case the quantity ratio A/X is 4/1

Can Better Together do this without much fuzz?

There will only be one single combination, namely A + X, no such thing as B + X or B + Y etc

No. Better Together only works with pairs of items. I have a module called Discount Chooser that do what you are trying to accomplish; see your PM.
