Reward Points Module for ZC v13x

Garrett Hull:

Thanks countrycharm I found my error and have corrected it and things are working properly. Thanks for helping me think through what I was doing!

Glad I could help.

HI,

I was thinking of using this plugin, I have a few questions though..... I currently reward what we call dream dollars to our customers. Is there a way to rename the points to dream dollars? We award $1.00 per purchase is this doable? I also see someone asked if there was a setting to not award points when the customer buys an item using points. This is important, if the customer is getting the item for free because they used points instead of money to purchase the item, if the program awards them points for the free item it would be a loss to me, considering the reward would be $1.00

You can change the name of Reward points to anything you like. You can change it by altering the files in

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/reward_points.php
includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_reward_points.php
includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_reward_points_display.php

We award $1.00 per purchase is this doable?
Yes

You either reward a point for a products, or Reward Points can be calculated on the Order Total or Subtotal (depending on the setting of the Allow Redeem of Reward Points on Order Total or Subtotal configuration).

You can set it up not to give reward points on certain categories.
You can set the limit on how many points can be use on a order. Reward point is very flexible to do a wide rage of things.

I am really anxious to try out this mod in our popular store. However, I just installed the 1.5.0 version into my 1.5.1 test site. All files appear uploaded correctly. However, when I go to the Layout Box controller, there is no "Shopping Cart with Rewards" sidebox.

Could you tell me what would be causing this not to be there?

Again, it's not a matter of enabling it or not. The entry simply isn't there for me to select under the Tools --> Layout Boxes Controller.

Make sure you change all custom folder names to YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE folder name. Make sure the reward_points.php and the shopping_cart_with_rewards.php files uploaded to includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE.

Make sure the tpl_reward_points.php and the tpl_shopping_cart_with_rewards.php files uploaded to includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/sideboxes

If you have uploaded them correctly make sure the file sizes are correct. Partial uploads will corrupt the data.

If you uploaded Reward Points correctly there's going to be 2 side boxes for you to have the options to activate.

I just installed this mode, but i have one problem:

i have super orders & am using it to update.

IN SUPER ORDERS
When i change status from pending to other status , the pending points doesnt transfer to "earn points"

IN ORDERS (normal )
When i change the status, the pending points will transfer to "earn points"

anyone facing the same? and what to do about it?

countrycharm:

For every $10.00 spent your customer gets 1 Reward Point.
Go to Admin/Catalog/Reward Points Set Global Reward Point ratio To: 0.1000

Each point equals .50 Go to Admin/Customers/Group Reward Points Redeem.
Enter global points ratio To: 0.5000

Go to Modules/Order Total/Reward Points module and install that module
if you already installed set to Point Redeem Method: Automatic

Also switch on the Reward Points Earned module so it will Calculate, display and store Reward Points earned on order.

hi CountryCharm,

Thanks for your tips.
The one thing that I mentioned:
for certain product, it has discounted price, hence is it possible to configure that - when points are used, customer pays the "regular price" for that certain product and not a discounted price ? In another word, do this reward full suite module able to differentiate if certain product is having discounted pricing or regular pricing ?

Hi,

I downloaded this plugin to my computer. I read the instructions and I can not unzip this file to my server since it is not a local computer, I also do not have a "my custom template" since this was something I was not aware to make when I started this process, I will have to figure out how to create that when i am done I guess. It's too late to start over. Do I just upload the folders I need? I put zen cart into my main directory on my server. When I clicked upload folder I got a warning msg to download some java application that warned me the plugin has security vulnerabilities.... Any insight on these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Am I missing some configuration issue? I installed the files correctly.......I can see the number of reward points that a product has......when I add something to my cart, I can see the amount of "points" in my shopping cart......and then when I make the purchase, it shows that I have zero points pending.

Even as Admin, when I go to look up the test customer account, it shows zero pending points.

I am attaching a screenshot of my configuration, with hopes that you can see something I need to adjust.

BUMP - In case I wasn't clear in my post directly above this one, here is where I stand with this module.

Everything APPEARS to work, right up until the point that I place my order. After I place my order, I see no PENDING points to award to the customer.

It's almost like the points which were in my shopping cart have disappeared!

Is there something I need to do from an ADMIN perspective to see who is waiting for pending points and assign them to the customer account? When I use the Customers --> Reward Points area, it doesn't show any customers with Pending points, even though I make a purchase for an item that has 30 Points in my shopping cart.

Any ideas on what I can do to make this work?

Edit - I figured it out. Didn't see the Modules -> Order Total configuration.

Hey guys,

I have one problem with the redeemed points & when order is cancelled.

Eg :

1. customer redeem points (eg : redeem 500 points) during check out & gotten the order.

2. What if the customer wanna cancel the order (and we delete it).

3.The redeemed points (500 points) are not going back to "earned" points.

Any solution for this?

I don't use Super Orders but you can try what curt_l did and see if that works for you.

Reward Points only recognizes "Adjust Reward Points for Sales/Specials" Either you use Always use the base price.
or
Use price less Discounts and Specials.

It does not work the way you are describing. You can hire a coder I suppose.

Unzip the Reward Points folder on your computer.
Your shop has a admin folder that is named admin or named to a custom name that you changed it to. You need to put the contents of the Reward Points admin files inside your custom admin folder.
Same thing with the includes folder.
In the includes folder change the name of the custom folder name to the name of your custom folder name that you are using.

Upload of files to your server.

Glad you got it working...

Quick question ---- first off, I LOVE this mod, and it's all working great except for one thing.

In the Zen_Orders_Total table, the module is leaving the VALUE blank ($0.00). So even though the text correctly shows the correct points, the value isn't updated into the database.

Here is a screenshot to show you what I mean:

As you can see, the points are correctly recorded, but the value is left blank. Therefore, when I look at my orders, I can't see how many points were allocated:

Hi, Thank you for the great module!!

Is there a code to show the Reward point full suite Group name to the customers?

For example, on the reward point side box, the group name will be shown to the customers.
If I assign the group name "Beautiful Customer" to one customers, then the customer can see his group name(level)

I tried some tricks but no works...

The group name is only showing on the Admin pages... not for the customers.

I'm trying to build the customer membership levels, so I need to display the each group name to my each customer...

Any suggestions will be appreciated.. Thanks.
