using the weight in discount codes

using the weight in discount codes

My client has decided that she wants to have a sale on an entire category of products. she wants to have a coupon based on the categegory code of the product.

we are not using the weight field at all. so i thought that it would be easy if we just hijack that field for the category code - which is a number anyways.

so i have set the weight in the cart to not be calculated by the quantity.
and i set the weight in the add to product code, to house the category code that i want.
this is all working fine, as i set these values to display in the cart area, and they do display exactly as they should. IE if category on add to cart is 500, 500 shows in the view cart (just confirms its passing over as it should).

so...
now my issue is why my discount code WONT WORK.

discount name: october2009

triggers:
total number of items > 0
if session variable txtPromoCode = october2009
if today is before 11/01/2009
number of items with Weight of 504 > 0

calculation:
based on cart subtotal times .25

Any ideas on where I went wrong?

It appears as though it should work from your description.

Try displaying the session variable value to make sure that it is set properly. Maybe try removing the other conditions and getting them to work one at a time.

First use:
triggers:
total number of items > 0

once that works add:
triggers:
total number of items > 0
if session variable txtPromoCode = october2009

and so on and so forth... that will help you narrow down what exactly isn't working.

thanks ray

somehow testing them individually got them to work!

next question....
what if i want PART of my rules to be an or?
how to get i get the and's and or's to be correct?
i need the below to be Weight of 504 OR Weight of 505
however using the rules as shown below, would it provide a TRUE result if the weight alone is 505? I need it to meet all 3 of the first rules, and either of the 4th or 5th rules.

total number of items > 0
AND if session variable txtPromoCode = october2009
AND if today is before 11/01/2009
AND number of items with Weight of 504 > 0
OR number of items with Weight of 505 > 0

I'd just create two rules. One for 504 and one for 505

The other option is to use a calculation.

You could add a calculation:

CouponEligible = (([Weight] == 504 || [Weight] == 505)?1:0)

Then base it on Number of items with CouponEligible = 1 > 0
