  2. Hi, Have this all working ok, bizarre error with shipping admin though. When I go into my admin, modules, shipping, I see this: Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_exclusions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_exclusions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_exclusions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_manual.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main(/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_manual.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/coupons_manual.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/hydedefinition.com/public_html/catalog/admin/modules.php on line 138 How to use the Discount Coupon Codes Module Contents: * Configuring the Order Total Module * Creating Discount Coupon Codes o Explanation of Coupon Fields o How to create percentage discounts o How to create fixed discounts * Common Problems Configuring the Order Total Module To configure the Discount Coupon Codes module, go to Modules > Order Total > Discount Coupon in the admininistration section of your website. Click the Edit button on the right side of the screen to edit the configuration options. Explanations for each option are provided below: * Display Discount Coupon Set this option to true to use the discount coupons module. If it is set to false, the Discount Coupon Code box will not appear on the checkout payment page. * Sort Order Set this to a UNIQUE value. Each order total module must have a unique sort order, or they will not display correctly. * Display Discount with Minus (-) Sign Set this option to true to have the discount display with a minus sign in the order confirmation, invoice, etc. If this is set to false, the discount line will simply display the discount amount. * Display Subtotal with Applied Discount Set this option to true to display the order subtotal with the discount applied. If this option is set to true, you will want to set the sort order for the discount coupons so that it displays before the order subtotal line, like so: Modules Sort Order Action Item Doodle x 1: $25.00 Discount Coupon XYZ Applied: -$5.00 Subtotal: $20.00 Tax: $1.39 Total: $21.39 If this option is set to false, the discount will not be applied to the order subtotal. In this case, you will want to set the sort order for the discount coupons so that it displays after the order subtotal line: Item Doodle x 1: $25.00 Subtotal: $25.00 Discount Coupon XYZ Applied: -$5.00 Tax: $1.39 Total: $21.39 # If you have prices set to display with taxes, then the order subtotal will always be displayed with the discount applied. Random Code Length If you do not provide a code when creating a coupon, the discount coupons module will create a random string of letters and numbers for you. This setting controls the length of randomly generated codes. # Display Format for Order Total Line Use this setting to format how the discount coupons order total line is formatted and displayed. You can insert the variables to display dynamic data, such as the coupon code used or the discount percent. The list of available variables: [code] [coupon_desc] [percent_discount] [min_order] [number_available] [tax_desc] # Display Discount Total Lines for Each Tax Group? Discount coupons are applied to each item separately, in order to properly calculate tax if there are multiple tax groups (local and state taxes, for example). Set this to true to display the discount applied to each tax group. Set this to false to combine the discount and display as one order total line. Creating Discount Coupon Codes Log in to your admin section and go to Catalog > Discount Coupons. Click the New Coupon button to create a new Discount Coupon Code. The only field that is required is the percent discount field. Once you have created a discount coupon code, you may distribute it in any format. The only information a customer will need to use a coupon is the code you specified when creating the coupon. You can send out codes in newsletters, order confirmations, etc. Discounts are displayed as order total lines in the customer's checkout confirmation screen and order history screen, and in all admin order screens. Discounts are applied BEFORE tax. Explanation of Coupon Fields: * Coupon Code This is the code you will give to customers which they enter during the checkout process. It can be any alphanumeric character, up to 32 characters long. If you leave this field blank, a randomn alphanumeric code will be generated for you. This field cannot be edited for existing coupons. * Description This is a short description field to help you administer your coupons. The contents of this field are never displayed to the customer. * Discount Percent The percentage discount to apply to the order. Enter this as a decimal amount, eg .15 rather than 15 or 15%. This field cannot be edited for existing coupons. * Fixed Discount You may enter a fixed discount amount instead of a percentage discount along with an order minimum to have the module calculate the proper percentage discount to acheive the given fixed discount amount. Enter the fixed discount amount without any currency marks, eg 5 instead of $5. Leave this blank to use a simple percentage discount. This field cannot be edited for existing coupons. * Start Date Enter a start date if you wish to limit the when customers may begin using this coupon. You may leave this field empty to allow customers to use the coupon as soon as it is created. * End Date Enter an ending date if you wish to limit how long customers may use this coupon. You may leave this field empty to allow customers to use the coupon as long as they wish. * Max Use Enter the maximum number of times each individual customer may use this coupon. If you do not enter a value, or you enter 0, the customer will be allowed to use this coupon an unlimited number of times. * Min Order Enter the minimum order subtotal a customer must have before he or she may use this coupon. If you do not enter a value, or you enter 0, there will be no order minimum required for this coupon. This field cannot be edited for existing coupons. * Max Order Enter the maximum order subtotal to which this discount should be applied. You may use this field to set an upper limit on discounts. If you do not enter a value, or you enter 0, the discount will be applied to the entire order subtotal amount. This field cannot be edited for existing coupons. * Number Available Enter the global number of coupons available. You may use this to limit the number of times the coupon can be used for the entire store. This may be used to give a discount to the first 200 customers on a particular day, for example. How to Create Percentage Discounts Percentage discounts require only a code and a discount percentage. All other fields are optional. How to Create Fixed Discounts PLEASE NOTE: Due to the way osCommerce handles order total calculation and the way that Discount Coupon Codes applies a discount to order totals, fixed discounts have the possibility of being off by small fractions. This can possibly result in a fixed discount of $5.00 being displayed in the order total line as $4.99, for example. The frequency of this happening will be very low. The reason has to do with when the Discount Coupon Codes contribution calculates discounts. The calculation happens during the order object creation, when final total values are not yet known, so the discount is applied incrementally. There are pros and cons to this method. Other Discount Coupon modules calculate discounts after the order object has been created and so may handle fixed discounts with a higher degree of accuracy. If the possibility of fractional rounding errors is unacceptable to you or your customers, I recommend trying one of the other discount coupon contributions. Fixed discounts are created by setting an order minimum (the minimum amount a customer must have in his or her cart before being eligeable for the discount), a percentage discount, and an order maximum (the maximum order amount to apply the discount to). If the order maximum is the same as the order minimum, then the percentage discount for every order using this code will be fixed. Suppose you wish to allow a $5.00 discount on orders $25 or more. By setting the order minimum and maximum both to $25, you ensure the applied discount will be the same for all orders using this discount coupon code. If the discount percent is 20%, the discount will always be $5.00. You may enter an order minimum and a fixed discount amount when creating coupons to have the Discount Coupon Codes module automatically calculate the correct discount percentage for you. Common Problems * Discount coupon does not display in order subtotal during checkout confirmation. Ensure the discount coupon has a unique sort order. Set this in Modules > Order Total. * Warning: include(***file1***) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ***file2*** on line ***line#*** Ensure that you have uploaded ***file1*** to the correct directory. * "Discount Coupon" does not appear in the list of Order Total modules under Modules > Order Total in the admin section. Ensure that you have uploaded the module files contained in the contribution package: catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_discount_coupon.php catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_discount_coupon.php * The Discount Applied order total line shows an incorrect discount amount for the order subtotal. (Only happens on some orders and amount is off by no more than a few cents.) There isn't really one. The discount is applied before tax, and OSC allows for multiple tax groups in each order. This means the discount percentage must be applied to each line item in the order, taking into account the tax rate for that item. Rounding can then cause the Discount Applied line to be a few cents off of the actual discount percentage for the Sub-Total line. The discount is not actually taken from the order Sub-Total, even though it may appear as though it is. If you have configured your store to display prices with taxes or you have configured your Discount Coupon Codes module to display the order Sub-total without the discount applied, then your likelihood of running into this situation is slightly higher.

I have checked and reloaded everything I can think of! Please can anyone help me? Cheers
