Trigger Coupon Automatically (Plugin)

[seyi]

This is a Virtuemart 2 Plugin.

Automatically trigger a coupon code when a product is added to the shopping cart.

Its very simple, install the plugin, enable it, and enter the coupon code you want to be automatically triggered. If a coupon code already exists in the cart, the auto coupon code is not run.

it's a great plugin but it needs some options:

- when you update the quantity the plugin doesn't load/unload the coupon
- should have the option to select multiple coupons and apply them based on cart total value

Thanks for the feedback.  I fixed the update/delete problem.  It would be best to uninstall the previous version before installing this one as it is no longer a vmpayment plugin, it is now a system plugin.  To your other points:
1) cart total value - this can already be set up within the coupon you are creating, it would be redundant to add this feature
2) multiple coupons - this is not something supported by Virtuemart, it will only allow one coupon at a time so not sure it is very useful

Can you apply this to more than 1 coupon?

I have several coupons that I would like to auto trigger

Hi,

Virtuemart coupon system is built to accept just 1 coupon code, so even if there was a box for 2, it will only accept the first one.

If you need that functionality, then AwoCoupon pro will allow this through parent coupons.

Installed this, works fine apart from the discount being applied to the final price, it doesnt actually display a notification that the customer is saving or that there has been a discount applied?

Hello,

No, it does not display a message when a coupon is added to the cart.  But I think its easy enough

in www/plugins/system/awocoupontrigger/awocoupontrigger.php, around line 34 is this

Code Select Expand


<?php
$cart->setCouponCode($coupon_code);
$cart->getCartPrices(); // needed it to fix the cart prices

?>


Change it to this

Code Select Expand


<?php
$orig_code = $cart->couponCode;
$msg = $cart->setCouponCode($coupon_code);
$cart->getCartPrices(); // needed it to fix the cart prices
if(empty($orig_code) && !empty($msg)) {
JFactory::getApplication()->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart', FALSE),$msg);
}
?>
