Hi,
I came here from http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/143.
I'm trying to make the discount module work for me but have some issues with the following;
I've created a taxonomy qty (http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/143#comment-24926) discount and have the following conditions;
group 1 - weight 0 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op >= - value 5
group 1 - weight 0 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op < - value 8
Action:
Discount product Taxonomy price from order - Amount 6%
Now when I order 6 products of taxonomy X I don't get discount, but when I remove the second ( <8 ) condition it does work?
I could set the weight and check exclusive on the second condition but then all my other taxonomy qty discounts will stop working.
But when I remove the second condition and also have a discount for >8 products the systems gives the discount for 5-7 (6%) plus >8 products which is 12%. Bit too much :)
What I'm basically trying to do is give 6% bulk discount when one orders 5-7 items of product X and 12% if one orders more than 8 items of product X.
Normally a simple bulk discount would do. Yet due to attributes product X can have 2 different variations, let's say I order product X with attribute color red 4 times and product X with attribute color white 4 times the system won't discount. Eventho it basically is product X times 8. So I thought I'd use Taxonomy Qty and create a term for each product which I need to discount.
Hope my story isn't to confusing and someone can help me out!
Regards

Hmmz, I think I found the reason for it not to work: weight
group 1 - weight 0 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op >= - value 5
group 1 - weight 1 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op < - value 8
doesn't work
group 1 - weight 0 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op >= - value 5
group 1 - weight -10 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op < - value 8
does work, so it needs to check the greater value (8) before the lesser value (5).Is this a bug or a feature?
EDIT
Well I should have checked more thorough....
I found now that when one orders 4 times product X she/he still get's the discount, but when ordering the 2 times the item the discount isn't being calculated? Eventhough this is the condition:
group 1 - weight 0 - property 'taxonomy qty' - op >= - value 5
Some weird stuff going on, will get back on this!
Cheers,

The module seems to work in part but other bits either just don't altogether or are so confusing it seems like they don't work. I can't get the operators to work as I would expect.
It's great that you are looking into this and reporting back which bits are clearly broken, keep it coming. We need to do a full audit of the module and all these examples will certainly help.

You're welcome! I think discount module is a must have on ubercart so I hope my input helps!
Do you think the conditions part of it is something that can be fixed?

Bart, are you using the code from the comment you've linked to?
Because as far as I know, that code (uc_discounts_productm.module) isn't in our version yet. What is it meant to do?

Hi Joachim,
It's quite a nice idea! Let me explain what I'm using it for.
I have some products which have customizable attributes like engraving. If one adds this same product 5 times with different attributes she/he doesn't get 5 items bulk discount because ubercart sees them as 5 different products.
I use the submodule to give discount based on the quantity of a certain taxonomy group ordered. In my case I created a term for each product so one will still get bulk discount eventhough ubercart sees them as different products.
There is a problem with the submodule though. I emailed jiojio74 about it but haven't heard back yet. Basically he used uc_discounts.product.module and rewrote it partially. Now line #25 in the code; 'property' => 'product_from_order', will cause the normal product discount submodule to break.
Besides that it's a good discount idea!
The thing is that I tried the operators also on uc_discounts.product with the taxonomy qty module uninstalled and they still don't work. So the operators in discount core don't work properly I think. Hope someone with more knowledge of things will look at this soon cause I need it badly.
Keep me posted!
Cheers,
Bart

Subtle bump :)
Any news on the conditions?
