how do I install separate pricing per customer ver 4.2.0?

[caballoazul]

Hello. I'm completely frustrated because I don't have any idea of how to install separate pricing per customer. I just downloaded version 4.2.0 to computer. I have version v2.2ms2 oscommerce by my web hosting service,but I would like to know how do I install this separate pricing per customer.

Please anyone point me into the right direction, I have been searching for some hours and I can't find how to do it.Thanks

Extract the zip. Go to the new_installations folder and open install.html for the installation instructions. Unless you have an unchanged, vanilla install of OSC you will need to install the contribution manually. SPPC is a huge install so it will take a while - but backup your files, take your time and read the instructions carefully and it shouldn't be a problem.

There will be some sql scripts so You need to modify the db.

Also You will have to modify lot many files.

 

So take backup.Try applying this to an offline site(not live) and once done replace live site files with these files.

 

As Jason pointed out its pretty big contrib.

You have one post here - and you want to install one of the biggest add-ons there is for osCommerce.

 

My advice --> try something smaller first.

Hello,

 

I, too, am very new to osCommerce and only consider myself 'intermediate' with PHP coding. However, my client is asking for this feature. Can you recommend 'something smaller'? Or - as a newbie, provide some tips on installing SPPC?

 

Thanks.

In my personal experiences, if a client wants SPPC I ALWAYS install it first. Installing SPPC affects MANY other features of OSC and usually confines the customer to certain other contributions they may wish.

 

Tying to install SPPC after other contributions have been installed, can take much much longer.

It is one of the more difficult installations as it touches lots of files. I had to install this on a very modified oscommerce (loads of contribs + TM template) and it took me over half a day.

Is there an easier add-on to do the same thing? You say it took you half a day - how about for someone who has never worked with this add-on (like me?). Please help with any recommendations. I took this site over from someone who partially installed a lot of things, did half the design, then abandoned the project.

Well, what do you need to do exactly? SPPC is a good contribution - but there are alternatives to it, depending upon what functionality you require.
