Was this information Helpful?

Here I am again... with yet another question. I would like to set up something like this

Sale! Temporarily from $9.99 for only $6.99. Offer valid till (ideally custom date)

I have tried to solve this by using list price, but I am encountering two problems with that:

1) As soon as I tick list price, it shows on every product, as 0 on the products where it is empty.
2) I don't know how to make the two appear in one line with the strike feature.

Am I on the right track? Any help is appreciated, as always, thanks!

Hi there, Go create an

Hi there,

Go create an atrribute saying discount till Dec 31th 2007, then set the discount, and attach it to all the products you like. You can repeat this for other discounts and dates, just set up a new attribute option! Make this option then ONLY default for the time being and then all is set. This could be later on automated if there are too many products to change.... (Approach: Each option gets a unique sku and you flag the clicked options in the sql table that are to be available. Then a cron job takes over the timing!! Smiling

Re: Re: Re: Hi there, Go create an

It's a little tweaky, no possibilities to set range of date (manually obliged), no percent amount.... there are lot of limitation with this system.

Ubercart really need a working discount system (coupon, product, order total...)

The good news is that, as my society really need that, I will probably be sponsored to improbe the existing discounts system, but not sure. If it's the case, I will tell you, but even with sponsor, I will not have a lot of time to work on it, so it will be very basic improvement.
