hello, I have a coupon that works fine
But we want the customer not to be allowed to use it on discount products
How to do that ?
( i tried a category promotion but the product is already in an allowed category so this does not work)
This is a primitive solution, but you can add all your discounted products to an additional hidden category for which you can create a rule to exclude this voucher.
If Milbo at Virtuemart created tags like those in the com_content component and if rules could be created for these tags, I would finally love this virtuemart 100%. Unfortunately, such a change will never happen - so instead of tags you have to create hundreds of absurd categories just to create rules ;-)
PS. If you know the basics of JavaScript and PHP, you can create a simple rule to detect discounts directly in the shopping cart. if a discount is detected, the voucher will not be accepted and a system message about this event will appear

Please consider using the AwoCoupon component. I have been using it for years, and it has solved many problems for me. It includes an option that addresses the issue you mentioned in your question.

I can not exclude category, just include
So : if I do so , I have to keep promoted products in their original category also, and then the system allows them
You're right - I didn't pay attention to it - there are just "Allowed Product Categories"! LOL
These rules are very strange - but this is not surprising - if you build a component with several products in the store in mind :D
we found an alternative solution :
selected all the products to be allowed and delete those which are promoted.
every month, when creating the promotion, the admin will do the changes in the settings.
