Discounts for categories or groups

**dalogar** · 12-17-2010, 05:32 PM

I am starting now with osCmax and, after testing v2.5 for a while, I am not sure if what I am going to say can be done or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Can we assign products of a whole category (or a group of products for different categories) a special discount or price, and this special price is for an specified duration? Imgaine now, in Xmas, we want to have an special offer for some of our products. Can I make this in an easy way (not in a one product each time basis, as a group or category).

Thnak you guys, keep up the good work.

I think discount categories should do this - although this is new feature and I have not tested it out fully.

However, you will still need to edit each product so it may not be a workable solution.

Thank you, I will think a little more about the options osCMax gives to try to have what I want.

Another thing, I don't know if it is a bug or I am doing something wrong:

In the public catalog site, when I click in a category, it should return me a product listing (I have defined 2). But here it comes the weird thing: if I am viewing the site in spanish (or german), it doesn't return anything, only the category description. Even when searching, it doesn't return anything. Also, it doesn't return anything in the view all the products link of the search box. But the products are showed in the featured box and in the new products box, so they exist.

If I view the site in english language, everything works fine.

Are you aware of this? Has anybody here experienced something similar?

Edit: This happens to me in 2.5 beta 1 AND 2, I have just downloaded it. In fact, I have not said a word until I could try this in beta 2.

dalogar,

If you think you have found a bug - then post it in the BugTracker - that way it will definitely get checked out. Make sure you are VERY specific about how to replicate the issue you have found. Eg. 1) Click on x; 2) Click on y; etc.
