Reward Points Module for ZC v13x

NO. Just the normal shopping cart box is there :(

I'm afraid that you haven't installed the mod correctly.

There are some files in an "admin" folder. You probably copied them in a new "admin" folder rather than in your renamed admin folder.

I have a question about attributes, discounts and the reward points mod. I have tried to search through this huge thread for an answer and I glean that there may be some issues w/ attributes, discounts and the reward point mod used together although I am not sure if this issue has been fixed in the 1.40 reward point mod I am using. I'm wondering if it may be an issue with the way I am using or setting the attributes as I am new to zen cart. Here is the scenario:

Item costs $39.00 and has been discounted to $38.00. An attribute adds an optional ice cold pack for $1.00. If the ice pack option is selected the customer receives 40 reward points, when they should receive 39 points.

I have reward points set to calculate on order subtotal and to calculate on the discounted price, not the base price. Any ideas or insight?

Bump...Still struggling with this issue. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi,

Just wondering if it's possible to exclude an email or domain from having points added to the order?

We use an email address on the COWOA checkout for our phone orders and don't want the reward points to show up on these orders as it will just confuse matters.

Regards,

Chris

I would guess you could modify includes/modules/order_total/ot_reward_points.php and change the check() function to look at email address. You'd have to write the code to do it - no admin type facility is built in to the system.

Try admin->configuration->reward points->Allow Redeem of Reward Points on Order Total or Subtotal = 1 (which uses the order total). You'd have to write software to extract out the shipping costs if you didn't want that. (Change get_order_total in includes/modules/order_total/ot_reward_points.php).

There are a few bugs in the files provided and the readme: (circa v. 1.32a)

• includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php should be removed from the list of files; it's not required.

• Section 3.2.1 - these instructions are wrong; you've instructed people to use Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches, which takes care of table prefixes for you.

• admin/sqlpatch.zip should be removed.

• In admin/customers_reward_points.php on line 281, setting a limit seems like a bad idea because there's no navigation. If you have more than .REWARD_POINTS_CUSTOMER_LIMIT customers, you simply won't see them. You need to either provide some navigation (next 100 customers) or warn them that this limit is not high enough.

• The fact that Reward Points and Reward Points discount are mutually exclusive - and why you would want one or the other - is not explained.

• Version number at the top of the readme is not correct.

Thank you for the reply and suggestion. Yes this works for the attributes/discount problem that I was experiencing, but now gift certificates earn reward points because the points are calculated off the subtotal and not the product price (gift certificates set at 0.000 reward ratio under catalog/reward points/gift certificates). Any ideas on how/where I can make modifications to prevent gift certs from earning reward points with the settings you recommend?

Same solution - customize get_order_total() in includes/modules/order_total/ot_reward_points.php to your taste.

Something odd......

IF I try to place an order using Reward Points, and I ALSO try to use a Gift Certificate as well (if the GC amount is not higher than entire order), it requires me to select a billing method. If the GC and the Redeem amounts are (combined) more than the entire order, it still requires me to select a payment method.

However, if I try to place the order with JUST a Gift Certificate, and the GC amount is larger than the order, then I don't have to select a payment method.

So... whatever it doing the check as to whether payment method is required to be select isn't including the amount to be redeemed in it.
:D

I created a separate site for redeeming reward points. The site allows the customer to redeem points towards gift cards and certificates. Checkout needs to be restricted if the customer doesn't have enough rewards points.

I tried to edit function pre_confirmation_check($order_total) in ot_reward_points.php but couldn't get it to work.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Just installed on 1.3.9h and i have all the options setup and working and tested, problem i have is that none of my products show:
"This product is worth this amount of points", should it even show this?

Also how do you hyperlink the sidebox for points to the information page on how the points work?

And in the clients shopping cart profile, is there no page to show or inform the client that they have X amount of points on their account apart from the side box?

Thank you

This is a known bug -- see post 1740 on page 174 of this thread

There is a separate addon for this. Do a search for "reward points" in the addon database

And in the clients shopping cart profile, is there no page to show or inform the client that they have X amount of points on their account apart from the side box?

Yes, this is normal behavior for the mod, You could do some modifications on your own to display customer reward total in their profile, but once they are logged in their point total should show up in whatever reward point sideboxes you have enabled.

Hello everyone, I'm using the latest version of zen cart and reward points module.
On check out I am shown a box saying "use your reward points", when I enter the amount of reward points to be used and click "apply" the order is completed and I'm taken to the order placed page, I don't see an option to view or modify the order in any way after that.
I do not see the box that simulates the order amount, the reward points I already have or the amount to pay after the reward points are subtracted.
I am using the lightbox template and have attached a screen shot showing the check-out reward points area.
I searched this thread but didn't see this problem posted before, any help solving the problem is much appreciated.

Is there a way to do a global update, I have a load of customers with points pending, can I update them all to earned in one go?

I think they should be added after you complete the order for the customer in the admin section. I know this is possible just not sure where to start.

How did you add the apply button? Mine doesn't look like yours at all.

Did you figure this out. If you did would you share it. Thank You.

Has anyone figured out the issue with taxes?

The discount should be applied to the subtotal THEN taxes are based off that subtotal-discount, but the problem is that the taxes are still being based off the subtotal alone.

subtotal
-discount
subtotal again
taxes
final total

Athens Collectibles:

From your Admin page go to Tools > Layout Boxes Controller and see if the two new boxes have been activated to show where you want them (left/right, up/down). The two boxes are named: shopping_cart_with_rewards.php and reward_points.php.

If the mod is installed correctly, they should be there waiting to be defined. Good luck and let us know if that was the reason you couldn't see them. Just a note: the shopping_cart_with_rewards.php side box replaces the normal shopping cart box and shows the reward points in the cart until an order is confirmed.

George,

I couldn't find, did you solve your problem with PayPal IPN?

Thanks, Crt
