How to apply discount to a single product?

[caseyd]

I'm trying to assign a discount % to one of my products.
In order to achieve this I've created a calculation rule (-%, 20.0) but it affects all of my products.

How can I do this?

I am using VM 2.0.20b, and have looked at the post here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98178.msg323749#msg323749
that seems to be the same issue, but the two fixes posted are not applicable to the current code base - does anyone have a fix for this "bug"?

Is it possible to simply add a discount for a single product, and not ALL of them by default?

1. variant:

create a product category: discount 20%

unpublish this category

go to your calculation rule settings -> choose this product category

go to your product and choose your calculation rule as discount

2. variant:

go to your product

product pricing -> add your discounted price in override field -> choose overwrite final or overwrite price to be taxed

Nice! Both seem like work-arounds, but at least they work.

There definitely is a bug hidden here...

I used 1), setting up a General 20% discount category, with a 20% rule that never ran out.

In the product page I chose this 20% rule and gave the rule a start date and an end-date , and added product to the unpublished 20% category.
The day the discount ran out, product price was changed to 0, given 100% discount instead of going back to original price.

It doesn't happen if it is the main calculation rule that is set with a start/end-date. That means that each sale period must be defined with a new calculation rule.
Why choosing a start and and end date on the product page creates a price of zero when period ends must be a bug.

On our opening sale, ALL products ended up costing 0 when sale ran out!

the start and end date is not for the rule, it is for the whole price

a start and end date for the rule you must setup direct in the rule settings

the start and end date is not for the rule, it is for the whole price

a start and end date for the rule you must setup direct in the rule settings

But the bug is still here.

2.0.24c and we can't create a rule and apply EASILY to some products without doing some workarounds for the problem that all products are affected..
