Promotion prices in shop

Wednesday 09 January 2008 11:02:36 am

This is my first post on this forum, so I'd like to say hi to all eZ users! :)

Hi Claudia,
Did you manage to implement your idea?
I have to implement similar functionality(except for date) and I'm also considering using extension/module.

After looking at kernel, I found that product price is defined by the first found attribute of an object of type "price"(or multiprice).

ezshopoperationcollection.php, lines 341-350 (eZ 3.10), method addToBasket()

        foreach ( $attributes as $attribute )
        {
            $dataType = $attribute->dataType();
            if ( eZShopFunctions::isProductDatatype( $dataType->isA() ) )
            {
                $priceObj =& $attribute->content();
                $price += $priceObj->attribute( 'price' );
                $priceFound = true;
            }
        }

Promotion price functionality requires 2 price attributes in object(product), so this lines have to be changed.

So, what will be the best way to implement this?

Cheers,
Mateusz.

Hello,

I'm using Exponential 3.8.10 under Apache and MySQL

I understand the concept above, but cannot see how to apply it. the manual http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/concepts_and_basics/webshop demonstrates that it's possible, but the actual application of it appears to be lacking anywhere that I've found in the forum.

The post at http://ez.no/developer/forum/developer/different_prices_for_different_user_groups/re_different_prices_for_different_user_groups__1
seems to describe what I need to do, but as I'm not familiar with Exponential, I've no idea quite where to go. I tried going into the user section and I just got lost.

I've gone into the admin, then into 'webshop' and then discounts. I see one field which appears to be a name for the discount, unless it's a rule, and I've certainly not found the rule syntax listed anywhere. I'm trying to apply a global 10% discount to all products

Currently we manually apply the sale item by editing each product (tedious)

Help would be appreciated
Cheers,

Mateusz,

thanks for that. It's not the way I would have designed it to work. I've added a promotion of 10% on a site, applied it to 'any product' and added all user groups that were setup to the discount. It shows up as a discounted price.

However, I'm not sure how to add a line to actively show that a discount has been applied to the product in the 'checkout' section. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Stephen
