swguy Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 The order_total module works fine, displays and deducts the discount but for the life of me I can't get the marketing code to work in product_info.php.... You're doing exactly what I would do. Go through catalog/better_together_marketing.php doing the same thing (echo at key places) to see where it's failing.

rwslippey Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thank you for your kind words. The scope of Better Together is really just "buy A get B at a discount," so I never extended it the way you describe. I did write a more complex discounting algorithm for Zen Cart which allowed what you're asking for ("buy A, get all of B, C, D, E at a discount"), but since it also allowed every possible permutation of that (e.g. "get 2|3 of B,C,D,E", "get B,C,D,E if all are purchased", "get C,D,E if A, B purchased," etc.), the specification mechanism is much more complex. Good luck with your online venture! Scott scott, Im here woundering if better together can do something (or maybe even your zencart module) I have a friend who is in the graphics business and came up with about 60 bumper stickers and wants to sell them online. He came to me for the tech stuff ... He is pretty set in how he wants them sold.... 1 for $3 3 for $5 and so on... obviously this needs to be accross all of the stickers... not just 1 sticker. example ... if you buy A,B,C you pay $5 same with Z,D, E ... whichever stickers you buy .. if you buy 3 the price is $5 Does that make sense? and did I give it justice in my explaination... I like oscommerce but we are looking to get this site up and running as soon as possible so Im open to other software ideas if you know of such capability.

swguy Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Use Quantity Discounts, not Better Together, for this kind of thing.

swguy Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 A new contribution to go with Better Together has just been released; take a look at the Better Together Promotional Page. It shows all your discounts on a page which is linked from the Information sidebox.

haoun Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi I use community Better Together (osc_better_1.0.1) with Gift Voucher & Discount Coupon (GV and DC RC1 RC2 RC2a v1.2) My problem is that the Better Together discount is not calculated in the subtotal, so when the coupon is applied it has the value of the Subtotal without the Better Together discount applied. let me explain If i buy the following products: Product 1 $50 Product 2 $70 Product 3 $50 total: $170 this is the calculation I get while applying a 100% discount coupon: Subtotal $170 Better Together Discount -$20 Coupon (free) $170 Shipping (flat rate) $10 -------------------------------------------------- Total: -$10 The order should be as follows: Subtotal $170 Better together discount: -$20 Coupon $150 (not $170 as per above) Shipping $10 ------------------------------------------------ Total $10 I hope someone can guide me to correct the calculation to allow the subtotal to calculate the final price correctly. thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourpaws Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have installed this on my localhost before I put it on my live shop. Two suggestions for this contribution. 1) Put in a message in the "Better Together" section saying "Discount will be applied on Checkout" (I initally thought that it was not working) 2) The ability to be able to setup discount codes via the Admin section as opposed to coding them in "catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_better_together.php" I have managed the first, otherwise it looks great.

Deemar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Can this be used to give the discounts to only certain customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swguy Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Per customer filtering is not built in; you would have to add it.

Weaver#1 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Basic problem here - I can't get the module to install. Trying to instal Better Together 1.0.1 for osCommerce 2.2 rc2 The only modification I've made to osCommerce is to the table rate module so that shouldn't be interfering with th install. Best I can tell I followed the instructions - unzipped the file, copied the unzipped file (osc_better_1.0.1) to my the root folder of the store & uploaded it. When I go to the control panel to install the module it isn't there to install. I look in the remote directory and the folder is there along with all of it's contents. Anyone see what I did wrong? I can't figure it out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swguy Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) A copy of Better Together has been placed in the osCommerce 2.3.1 download area. There are no code changes from the osCommerce 2.2 version, just a few additions to the installation instructions.

scandic_outlet Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for updating the module for 2.3.1 Your contributions are really appreciated. Im wondering if any of your modules, better together and quantity discounts, plus some of your packages for sale on your site - would cause problems with the discount module for 2.3.1? its the module located here: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7700/v,23 Thanks so much Quote Dedicated OsCommerce user. 2011 will be the return of OsC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swguy Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 It's hard for me to know the effect of adding other mods on top of mods. As a general matter, these things don't know about each other so they might interoperate in unexpected ways.

ckpepper02 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hey SWGuy, Great job on the module first off. I've installed and setup the module, but I'm not getting the discount showing up on order confirmation page. I have the sort order unique as specified in the instructions, but no dice. Any ideas?

I was able to install the module, but it still is not showing up on the order confirmation page. It does show up on the correct product info pages though. I'm going to retrace my steps and see if I missed anything, but just wanted to know if you knew of anything off hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting the product to automatically add to the cart when the linked product was purchased. Sorry. My misunderstanding. It IS REALLY WORKING now. Thanks for your hard work on this contrib.

Guest Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Dear swguy, this is just what I#ve been looking for - THANKS! However, I can't get it to work. My shop runs in German, so I added the file that was meant for the english directory to the german one as well. Correct? Or is there any other way to make sure it works in German. I'm a novice, so please excuse my dummy-question: How do I know what number a product or category has? I tried the obvious and took the numbers the way they are displayed - or is it something I need to check via the PHPmyAdmin? www.usfanshop.at Please help, I need this done.
