2.0.6 can't add more than one discount rule

[zebrafilm]

It seems not possible to add more than 1 discount rule in VM2.0.6.
When I add a few, they disappear after saving.

I am also using the quantity plugin, not sure if that effects it but also adding 2 standard rules gives the same effect.

Because it is for the override. Please read the last chapter here to get a better idea of the calculation system http://extensions.virtuemart.net/images/stories/virtuemart/product/plgvm_istraxx_quantity_manual.pdf

Glad to know it is not a bug but a 'feature'.

Still it does not help me to keep things simple. Guess now I have to make separate products for every shopper group that has a quantity rule attached.
With 3 shoppergroups it means 3x more products to maintain or ?

No, definitly not.
You just make one rule per shoppergroup.

A calculation rule counts always for everything. Just the type defines if it is a tax or discount. You can make the rules depended on a condition, shoppergroup, category are the most used ones.

The rule selection in the product edit is just to overwrite the general rules for this product. You can use pseudo categories to add specific rules to specific products.

you also wrote that it was not so difficult to add.

so do you have any time frame on this ?

Hi Milbo, thanks for answering again. Got it working, great. (How simple can it be....)
Would love a copy/clone button in the plugin.

Two general forum questions:
How do I close or mark this thread answered?
The plugins made by the core team, where to do the questions/problem go?

Thanks Bastiaan

Allan Knudsen, at the end, someone must mainly just use the pattern already done with the categories, or shoppergroups and port it. Lets say 4-5 hours. Maybe only 1-2 it depends a bit.

Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone can help my on this problem, is there a way to assign multiply products to just one specific price rule? i know its is possible doing one at a time, but how about a batch process or a excel type input then upload all at once... I have tried CSV Import 4. with its field values (edit in excel) but no luck. I am using VM 2 and Joomla 2.+... ok guys thanks alot in advance...
