Is there anyway to have 2 vertical flyout menus on the same page? I'd like to use one for the store categories and another for the wordpress categories.... I know I can change how the categories are queried to get the right data for the wordpress category menu, but the way some of the global variables (like "father" and "back") are generated, I can't figure out how to make another menu without overwritten the values from the first one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First of all..LOVE the contribution! Just trying to make a few appearance changes for the tree structure option and have a quick question. I'm not sure if it is a layers width issue or something else, but I'm trying to change the background of the expanded node and/or the selected leaf, but I can't get the background color to cover the entire expanse of the table size. My table size is bigger than any one entry so I'm seeing the table background color on the right hand side of the tree entry. Does that make any sense? I'd put a capture of the screen in here, but I seem to be unable to paste that in.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Did you find a way to get this done? I'd like to do the same.. Thanks!! :)

Yes...out of the box, free shipping overrides any discount amount (percentage or dollar off). It says that in the little note to the right hand side of the free shipping check box.

That was me making the addition of the group_id for master and slaves. It is working wonderfully for me, but I just haven't had the time to pull it into a contribution yet as I am slammed with work and I'm on a four week count down until my maternity leave starts so I'm trying to get everything done. *wish me luck* I hope to have some time during my leave to formally pull together the code changes and add it to the contribution. But if you want to code it yourself, the basic jist of it is to create a hidden attribute for the master and slave products called group_id. Then when the product page loads for the master, create a random number or alphanumeric identifier and assign it to all the attributes called group_id..then when the product gets added to the cart, the group_id goes with it as an attribute (I've hidden it from all the displays,etc.). Then when you need to change quantities or delete the master/slave group, you just look for all the products with that group_id and treat them together. Hope that helps in the meantime... -Dionn

I think the error messages from ot_coupon get put in the url as error_message that gets read by the header.php file and displayed at the end of the header versus the other errors that are set the the message stack that get displayed in the checkout_payment.php page. At least that's what was happening with my implementation of it.. hope that helps.

I had trouble with the file option type as well..and since my current implementation doesn't use it, I punted on figuring it out until after this fast approaching deadline for me was met. Let me know if you figure it out!

Yes..I'm currently using both of those mods...you have to go through the switch statement in product_info and for each option type case change the input field name from "id['" to the "id_$products" etc...the change that is listed in step 5 of the Master Product Slave Attributes add on to the Master Products mod... I think that is what you are referring to...

In the admin, when you edit the product there is a flag called product listing display, you can select show product or hide product.

ok..here's the approach I took. I created an additional attribute called group_id and made a new option_type called hidden. Then for every product that is either a master or a slave, this attribute is automatically created for each product when a product is designated as a master or as a slave. Then on the product page, I create a random number and assign it to $group_id. Then in the attributes section, if the type is hidden I draw a hidden field and set the value to $group_id. Now all the products on this page have the same value for the group_id attribute when the user hits the add to cart button. Since the group_id is an attribute it gets added to the product in the usual way. Now on the shopping page, when you delete the master, I can delete the slaves by looking for the matching group_id. For the warehouse, they can group the items together by the group_id, so they know what goes where. And of course on the shopping page, if the option type is hidden, I don't show it. In this particular implementation, the user cannot select a quantity for the slave products so that makes it easier to decrement quantities by one when deleting and removing the product from the shopping cart when appropriate. Any comments?? or better suggestions?

ooops..posted my issue in the wrong place before. Sorry about that. This is the right place to post it, so here goes: Love the MOD! Was so glad to see the slaves with attributes add on, have been waiting to install for this piece. Got it working pretty well, except for one issue. Now that my slaves have attributes, how do I associate specific slaves with specific master products. For instance, if I have a gift bag as a master and slave products includes two different styles of t-shirts with options for sizes. User adds one master gift bag with the first style t-shirt with size L and the second style t-shirt with size medium. So now in the shopping cart I have three items, the gift bag, the first shirt-size large and the second shirt - size medium. THen the user decides that they want another one, this one with the first t-shirt with size XL and second t-shirt size XL. Now I have the following in my shopping cart: 2 - gift bags 1 - 1st style t-shirt, size large 1 - 1st style t-shirt, size XL 1 - 2nd style t-shirt, size medium 1 - 2nd style t-shirt, size XL These are all the right pieces, but how do I know when I'm pulling the order from the shelves which t-shirts go together in each gift bag?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

For orders using a voucher when tax is calculated, I'm getting a total amount of 0.01 when is should be 0.00. I'm not recaculating tax or anything...anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what to do about it? Thanks for your help!

Or does anyone have a good suggestion of a contribution that can be used for tracking Returns other than the big RMA one? Thanks! Dionn

Love the mod and am using it...but how do I create a different kind of credit? I want to have returns captured in the system as a separate line item, not just a gift certificate..is that possible with this mod?

I must be missing something because when I look in the orders_total table the line item with class = ot_total contains the amount that includes the discount. Am I not reading that correctly? -Dionn

I've just begun to use this contrib myself and I don't use the authorize.net one either, but it sounds like not all the order total lines are getting sent to authorize.net. Discounts and Gift Certificates have their own classes in order total (ot_gv and ot_coupon) table. I would look to see what records are being sent to authorize.net -- sounds like it isn't grabbing those... don't know if that would help, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.... -Dionn

Looks like a cool mod -- but I need to control access to articles via logon (premium content delivery) as well...any ideas?

This contribution looks awesome! I'm setting aside a big chunk of hours tonight to install the mod, but I had a quick question... We want to be able to prepopulate customer accounts with a certain dollar amount that they can then spend whenever/however they want. Would the best way to do this to be to create gift vouchers in the admin and then send to the recipients? Or can go in the back end and just drop a credit into their accounts? Thanks in advance for any and all input and suggestions! -D

Thank you! I tried searching, but perhaps I am not using the correct syntax. I will make sure I learn it. Thanks again!

Please disregard my post. Turns out my service provider changed servers on me so my path was wrong! Love the contribution!

I have been getting the same Error: Destination does not exist error. I followed all the previous posts to make sure the spelling was correct, etc. I chmod'd the directory to 777, but still to no avail. The even weirder thing is that as part of debugging I changed the directory to use the same one I use from the Admin screen when upload product images and I still get the Destination does not exist error. Any clues? Thanks! Dionn
