Bug 4 get 1 free

[Guest]

Hi

 

I use oscommerce 2.3.1

 

I was wondering if there was a add on for a buy 4 get 1 free or something similar that would work with oscommerce 2.3.1

 

Thank you

You can use this, it will work in 2.3.1

 

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6526

 

To turn into what you want:

 

In catalog\includes\modules\order_total\ot_3for2.php Find:

 

// check how many times the discount is applied
 $total_times_discount = floor($total_products / 3);

 

Replace with:

 

// check how many times the discount is applied
 $total_times_discount = floor($total_products / 4);

 

You can use whatever number you like there. In this example it will deduct the price of the cheapest item if 4 items are put in the cart. Even better if you put 8 items in the cart it will deduct the 2 cheapest and so on.

 

Change the Language file that is included to reflect the change

great module as with small adjustment the sellers can have different promotion every month.

i hate to dig up this one, but can this also be modded for use at a pizzadelivery that has the scheme: get every 12th pizza for free... ie when they over time has ordered 11 pizza's they get the next for free or a fixed value in discount

I believe these only work for products within the same order.

 

Thus: buy 3 of Xyz, get another Xyz free.

 

Whereas: 3 orders each of 1 Xyz, would not qualify for a free Xyz.

damm.... has what i'm seeking ever been made?

[Guest]

hmm... not that i know how to code it, but my idea is that since every product that qualify in my shop has the wheight set to 1 you could add a row in the customers table that holds the wheight gathered over time... each time you start the chekout procedure and the value is 11 a fixed discount is added... ie 55 is deducted from the sub total... and the stored value is reset to 0 after checkout is complete... just thoughts, dont have the brain to code it

[burt]

That could work, best as a order_total module.

When used, reset the counter to zero, and start the process over.

how long would it take a "coder" to make such a contrip? just considering maybe pay to have it made

Precisely the purpose of the commercial forum.

 

Explain your job, get some quotes, perhaps give a ballpark figure of what you expect to pay and a timeline for when you require it coded by.
