Better Together Contribution Support Thread

Excellent! I"m glad to hear my mods are helping you make more money.

Scott

Everytime I goto install from the admin / modules / order total I get this

"Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ot_better_together in /home/chelsea/public_html/store/admin/modules.php on line 82"

Can someone please help.

Sounds like some of the files got damaged when you installed. Download it again, and follow the README.

OK I have read this whole thread twice really slowly so I didn't miss anything and the instructions as well, I am a total duhh head right now, I am so sorry, so here is what I have done - backed up - downloaded the contribution - installed it - changed the file tpl_product_info_display.php with the suggested code and put it in my <custom> folder. I also put the ot_better_together.php in my custom folder.

Now what do I do??? Where can I actually go into to link which product the customer has to buy and which they can get free???Do I go in my Admin> ?Or is it done thru something else???

Once again I am so sorry to sound so dumb I am really not I have learned a lot and I usually find my answers in the help forums which a lot of people don't they jump right into making a new thread (hence a lof of the same questions) so it takes a lot for me to actually ask - but I am totally drawing a blank on this one.
Thanks so much
Claudia

This contribution is a lot more work to configure than the average contribution, so don't feel dumb. But you really do have to read all the instructions.

Go back to the Readme file in the contribution, and start with the Detailed Description.
There are several types of calls you may chose from depending on your discounting
strategy. You will have to put these calls into the setup() function.

Many examples are provided in this file. Even more examples are provided on my home page.

Start with (in the setup function())

$this->add_prod_to_prod(2,5,"%", 50);

This gives you 50% off product 5 if you buy product 2. Try it out. And go from there.

Thanks I kind of feared that one ... I am so hesitant to change anything because I don't know much about adding what where but I will take another look.

Thanks for the quick and patient answer ;)

OK so I just did what you said .. and I think I understand now - basically everytime I want to change the product over I need to re-do the code in the ot_better_together.php the way I see it - and then it will kick in automatically in the store is that right???
Its not like an attribute that I can just link with a product??!!! Just making sure I am not going completely nuts here HAHAHA

Edited to say I answered this one myself - I see it now It works Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!! Lot of work but I think worth it for sales :) THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Ughh one more quick question I read thru this again and saw that you sent someone a quote for inserting a pictures is that something that is custom done?
Thanks

See your PM.

One last question is there any way to make the font a little bit bigger - I changed all font options in my stylesheet but none of them did what I wanted.
Thanks :)

Can someone share a URL of Better Together in action? Preferably a direct link to a page with related items?

Thanks!

Here you go. At the moment, the text for it is small in comparison, not sure how to make it larger. I think it is a great mod.

Cheers

HM: the id for the cross sell text is discountPolicy (and discountPolicyReverse if you're using the reverse logic as well). So you can style this any way you wish.

I am running the contrib as well.

You can find it here.

I would like to say that this mod really is great, and the support from the author has been superb in my experience.

Kind words - thank you.

Something to look forward to: sometime in the second quarter I'm going to deliver a Better Together sidebox to help shopowners make their Better Together discounts more visible. I think you'll like it. :)

Scott

Scott,

Great mod, thanks.

Just wondering if it is possible to do,

Buy A and B and get 50% off C

ie a bundle of products together to get a price.

See your PM.

This could be exactly what I'm looking for - I've read the readme and can't figure out how to achieve this:

-> buy something from category 1, and something from category, get x% discount on both purchases (whether they are single quantities or multiple).

Thanks in advance for any assistance, hopefully I'm not missing something obvious :)

Better Together only discounts the latter item.

Hi there
i have installed and appears to be working at checkout but the marketing code is not displaying any text on the product pages. I have added this code exactly to the tpl_product_info_display.php page: <?php $value = "ot_better_together.php"; include_once(zen_get_file_directory(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/modules/order_total/', $value, 'false')); include_once(DIR_WS_MODULES . "order_total/" . $value); $discount = new ot_better_together(); echo '<div class="content" id="discountPolicy">'; $resp = $discount->get_discount_info($_GET['products_id'], $current_category_id); for ($i=0, $n=count($resp); $i<$n; $i++) { echo $resp[$i] . "<br />"; } echo '</div>'; // "reverse" discount logic - new in Better Together 1.3 echo '<div class="content" id="discountPolicyReverse">'; $resp = $discount->get_reverse_discount_info($_GET['products_id'], $current_category_id); for ($i=0, $n=count($resp); $i<$n; $i++) { echo $resp[$i] . "<br />"; } echo '<br /></div>'; echo '<br class="clearBoth" />'; ?>

.....

Not seeing anything on product pages. Any idea where I can start to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance
