I'm in need of a similar function myself - any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. well, I have something like that but never thought to make it a contribution. see for yourself and make that assessment. If you want I can make it into a contribution. server: see my profile page with item discount : /spiritual-art-charles-frizzell-notecards-C-54_102.html page with money discount : /spiritual-art-gilbert-williams-notecards-C-54_93.html settings are per category.

playazclubz Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 well, I have something like that but never thought to make it a contribution. I'm sure many others would appreciate the contribution :) I myself am not using osCommerce, its a custom built system that I need to integrate the 'Buy One Get One Free' offer with - but I would appreciate any help you are able to provide.

Amanda I would be very interested and grateful if you would not mind turning this function into a contribution. Would it be possible to pick your brain about the 2gether Specials feature you are using as well? I've looked over the contributions sections for something just like this with not much luck. I'm still doing a forum search for more info about it though or something that works similar to it. I make purses in two sizes and the 2gether Specials would be wonderful to package an offer to save on buying both the regular size purse and the matching evening bag. Huge thanks in advance for any info you may be able to offer.. -- Mindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge thanks in advance for any info you may be able to offer.. -- Mindy ok, I will post that one as a contrib today. The 2gether specials is basically derived from the buy two module contribution. However, I altered that because I did not like the fact that that module creates bundle products which you then have to handle specially all over the place. So now it is just that you link 2 products together with either a money or percentage discount. when adding to the cart, you actually add the 2 different products to the cart. I added here that the cart also identifies 2gether specials and xsell's the other product there also if not in the cart. At checkout the module checks if the combination exists and how many and then issues the discount. Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost2 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 could this mod work with buy 5 get 2 free ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxtel Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 could this mod work with buy 5 get 2 free ? basically with any number: in admin you enter (just like table rates) : 94:5:1:q,100:10:200:m,150:8:2:q which means: 1)from category 94 buy 5 get 1 for free 2)from category 100 buy 10 get 200 (in money) discount 3)from category 150 buy 8 get 2 for free but line 1 and 3 assume that all products in that category have the same price as it gives you the discount in money at checkout. So if all products in category 94 are priced at 500 then at checkout you would see a discount of 500 and for category 150 you would see a discount of 2x the product price.

lost2 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 woooooooooooow that's hott! :thumbsup: how bout if you wanted it for all categories? would you have to enter them seperately or could there be a way to do them all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to try it out today just downloaded it!! Can I bother you again to ask further how you modified the Buy_Two_Module to suit these specific needs mentioned above? I've grabbed the contribution but also don't care for the bundled products. Also will I need to install the Xsell contribution to use the BTM? I'm still very much a newbie but doing my best to search out my answers and read read and read some more before posting for help.

Thanks So Much -- Mindy no, you do not need xsell as that is a different scheme. I will make it into a contrib today or tomorrow but I did not have an admin side to manage the table (just entered product id's and discounts directly in the table). I just finished that so now I still have to bundle it. Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediajuggle Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 will it be able to handle prices as well? For example: buy 1 99? item and get another 99? item for free?

boxtel Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 will it be able to handle prices as well? For example: buy 1 99? item and get another 99? item for free? no but that would be a very easy module to make as it only involves counting the number of items in the cart that have a certain price, not what category they come from.

resoman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 What if I add 5 products from one category with varying prices, and then the 6th product is free. Which product will be considered the free one? The last one entered? I sell custom tailored shirts, and they can go from $130 to $240. So if the last one is free and it is added as $240, that is a bit of a loss. Is there a way to average or add a formula like: if product average >= free product else blah blah blah Great contribution, I may use it anyways (first one I have seen for this need!)

resoman Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I am not a programmer, just offering solutions to friends in need. Giving an equal price to the lowest price of the product purchased is ideal, but I am not sure on how to do that. Finding the median is great, so I will take that. If this contrib went further I think others would use it based on buy 5 get 6th of equal or greater value.. What do you think?

What do you think? well, you could make something like that but the question is whether it would be worth the trouble. In my case people can add 6 products at one time on the product pages, so which is then the 6th product? I basically made this because I have 3 categories with a lot of cards, all priced at 3 dollars, all of the same kind and as such it would be teasing to offer 1 or 2 or... extra.

timcrafton Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi! Thanks for this contribution it sounds like what I am looking for. I cannot figure out where to insert the snipet of code within index.php... The install.txt states in "index.php just before you call product_listing.php to display the products" however being a php noob, I'm not sure where that would be, my index.php does'nt contain the phrase, "product_litsing.php". Thanks in advance for any instruction you can offer me. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 This contrib is exactly what I've been looking for; thanks for making it available to us all! One problem, though: how do I know what number is associated with my product category? I've installed everything as indicated, and installed the moduel in the admin section, but I don't see any indication on my actual site that any sort of special is offered, much less applied in the checkout pages...? Help! :-) Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
