Sorry if this has been asked before (I searched, but couldn't find anything) - is there any plans for a Drupal 7 version of UC Gift Certificate? I've searched other UberCart modules, and perhaps I'm missing something obvious but this seems like an important functionality that I can't find for Drupal 7 Ubercart....

I'd be interested in this too. Does anybody out there know if this would be difficult to convert from a 6.x module to a 7.x module? I've done some 6.x module development, and haven't even looked at 7.x development, but could be willing to help.
Currently, I need to start rebuilding a website with a full fledged e-commerce solution. I've used Zen Cart and UberCart before, but coupons AND gift certificates are required, so that makes the unappealing idea of using Zen Cart to be very, well...unappealing (considering there's about a few dozen other reasons why doing it with Drupal is a very good idea). I'm tempted to start building the site with Drupal 7 for thoses reasons, and since this gift_certificate module seems to be very actively maintained - I might bargain that there will be a 7.x port by then (but it would be reassuring to proceed with certainty).

I was able to create 'Gift Certificate' using the UC Discount Coupon module, creating certain discount coupons - $50,$100 etc - and customising emails, line items etc to say 'Gift Certificate'. It wasn't the optimum solution, since the client really wanted the buyer to purchase any value of gift certificate they'd like, but it works. It took a lot of fiddling to get to work right though.

It's not that hard to port a module to Drupal 7 - start at http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7

If you need this, you can do the port yourself and post it here, or contact the module developer and offer to sponsor the port, or pay someone to do the port and donate that back to the community.

I hate to '+1' things, but this is something that I too need. In fact, I feel it is a very important part of any e-commerce site. I don't personally want to use the Commerce module, so ubercart it is. Unfortunately, this is one item holding me back from moving a site to D7

I also have a client interested in this functionality - anyone make a start on the upgrade to D7 ?

I have a sandbox with some initial code here:

What does this module offer that UC coupon discounts doesn't ? Any chance of merging ?

twardnw’s picture

I honestly did not know that UC Coupons had the 'Discount Coupon Purchase' module in it. I'm going to evaluate that one now.

So here's an initial thing, a purchased coupon only has a single use, if your order total is less than the value of the coupon, you do not get to use the remainder of the coupon on another order, insofar as I can see at this point.

Just to keep this alive, I am slowly making progress on my port. I'm pretty mentally tapped during the week, but since I will have a little bit of free time this weekend, I'll put some more hours at it. If anyone wants to contribute, I definitely won't stop them. Just clone the sandbox I posted in #12 and start making patches!

Hey... I was wondering how this was going. A client really wants a gift certificate module for Drupal 7.... and I suppose I could use the coupons thing... Although...being able to use coupons once is probably a dealbreaker.

I signed up for Git and tried to get your repository... but it doesn't seem like its up there anymore.

If anyone has any advice on what to do to get this code into Drupal 7... Id love to talk.

Thanks

Oh yeah, I forgot about that git repo. I what little progress I have made in a sandbox, but it really isn't that far along yet. Some of the administration pages work, but can't yet 'buy' them.

Some more work has been done on twardnw's sandbox version of the D7 version.

It seems to mostly work now... you can purchase gift certificates, administer them, use them at checkout, etc. But it hasn't been extensively tested yet, so there are most likely still some bugs.

Please, if you're interested in using the D7 version, check out the sandbox version and file any bugs you find in its issue queue. Hopefully soon this could be moved to an actual 7.x release!

Many, many thanks to nicedawg and Jeremy Clark for their efforts to get the sandbox up to this point.

Are there any updates with the Drupal 7 version of this module? I have a client waiting for this...
