I do have a followup question - Neesha asked on May 21 about restricting coupons to specific items. Is this something you might do? My client would like to offer coupons for let's say only running shoes for the next month but not anything else...can this be done? Thanks again! Hi Gary

I guess I didn't use yankee math to double the number and see what was happening before I posted here. Surprised I even got the Spam Protection question correct. Had to use all my fingers and a few toes from my Lab. j/k!! I will look at it closer to see if I can find the snippet that doubles the discount. I already tried with my client, she isn't gonna budge. Lets see if I can fix this and will poke back. I do have some other mods installed. ;) D. Hi Gary,

In my test shop a 7c coupon works fine, image below - don't mind the extra "gift wrap" setting, nothing to do with it. <img src="http://www.clubosc.com/test7.gif" /> Your client will have to allow access - speak bluntly with her ;) Cheers, Gary Deb - maybe the coupon is being deducted twice - check your coding for that…

Is there another option besides letting you in? Do I make a default storefront for you to use to install the newest release and then move your changes over to the actual store she has running now? Also, running the one that you do allow us to download gives this in the total: Sub-Total: $1.00 Coupon (test7) -$0.07 Flat Rate (Best Way): $0.00 Total: $0.86 The coupon is for .07 cents and by my yankee math the total should be 0.93 cents and not 0.86 cents. Any ideas on where to look to see what is happening? Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soonest! Deborah Hi Gary,

I think that most people don't understand that just because osc is a "free" piece of software, everything that is linked to it is not also free. That's a historic problem that most all open source software suffers with. If more people would realise that open source means they can take, mash up and reproduce (or pay someone to do so), it'd be much better! Anyway - cheers for your comment - I appreciate it. Pete - thanks for your kind words.

I'm not fussed about the tax bit - my customers will just tell the customers the coupon applies to the POST-tax value - it's a discount after all, and this is perfectly consistent with the way GST works in Australia. To all you whingers (like Stephan whoever) - learn PHP or pay someone (like Gary) to do the work. It was obvious from the 1.x version that this contribution was not going to handle pre-tax. Improve your PHP skills or don't go installing modules you don't first understand FROM THE CODE. Thanks Gary for this contribution.

You would know better than me, but if the attributes are showing up on the conformation page, wouldn't the problem almost have to be on either the confirmation or process pages? Thanks Gary.

I suggest to re-install - the easiest way is to create a new test shop and just install the brand new files. Alternatively, uninstall and re-install - but this is usually not fruitful as if you made a mistake, you are likely to make the same mistake again. Go over your files with an eagle eye. I just tested on a brand new install and it works fine with attributes - the contribution is coded so that it touches as few files as possible... Patrick - could be any number of problems.

I see all attributes on the checkout_confirmation page, but all are blank in the backend and the database. It acts like it just ignores them when the order is complete. I should explain a bit more.
