Salemaker bug v1.3.5 ?

There seems to be a bug in the Salemaker in my installation of v1.3.5

Sales only work when applied to entire catalog but does work when applied to a sub category. Did I find a bug? Anyone else has this on their installations?

If this is a confirmed bug, i'll try to see if I can take a crack at it and come up with a workaround.

Cheers

Please post the settings you are using in Salemeaker and the URL where the problem can been seen.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Thanks for the reply.

The Salesmaker settings are as follows:

Deduction: 5 Percent
Products Pricerange: 0 to 0
If Special: Ignore Sale Condition - No Sale Applied

The URL where this is happening is at https://www.thelittlemagicshop.com
The sale is applied to Christmas Magic products under Seasonal Category.

Do you import your products?

Do your products all have a master_categories_id set? Peek in phpMyAdmin at the products table to check this ...

I did write my own little importer to import the products, and I do have a master_categories_id set for all the products.

However, the category I'm having the sale on is not the master category of the products but a category where the products are cross-linked to. Is that the reason why it doesn't work? Does salemaker only work for categories that has products using it as a Master Category?

Thanks much!

That is the express purpose of the master-categories-id.
