Free Carriage with Coupon

[Truska]

I am failure sure you cannot trigger free carriage based on a coupon.
Can anyone confirm I am right -
OR
Tell me how to do it.
Been here before with earlier versions and don't believe things have changed - currently using V10 - plan to upgrade in new year.

Thanks

I have had off-line confirmation this can not be done
Have added to the Wish list - if your site/clients would benefit from this why not add to or support the wish list post. I know quite a few of my clinets would use the feature - http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=51872

*raises hand*

I would appreciate this too, although adding a further request that it would be possible to limit the coupon by region / delivery zone as well.

A little bit of Hactinic

I have found a solution to this, it is certainly early days, probably full of issues but something for the community to work with.

1. Create a Cart Based Discount called 'Free Delivery'

2. Set it to be based on a COUPON CODE of 'FREEDELIV' (i guess anything else here should still work but just set a trigger)

3. Open up ShippingTemplate.pl from the shipping control folder and search for 'return(SetDefaultCharge());'

You should see the following function

if($::s_sDeliveryCountryCode eq $ActinicOrder::REGION_NOT_SUPPLIED)
		{
		return(SetDefaultCharge());
		}

immediately after this function paste the following

# Trying for freedelivery off coupon
	if($::g_PaymentInfo{'COUPONCODE'} eq 'FREEDELIV')
	{
		my @Response = ActinicDiscounts::ValidateCoupon($::g_PaymentInfo{'COUPONCODE'});
		if ($Response[0] != $::FAILURE)
			{
				return(SetFreeShipping());
			}
	}

4: Save the ShippingTemplate.pl, Upload and apply the coupon within your Cart

Fingers Crossed. Seemed to work for me

That looks like a very clean solution. Thanks.

The original code i posted above would work even if the coupon was disabled. Have ammended it now to validate the coupon before applying the free delivery

[GraemeKustom]

Nice work!

I'll be trying this soon too

This is one for the KB I think.

Great stuff mediacat; works a treat.

Quick question - as we will be using different codes for each mag we advertise in (Vogue would have one code and Instyle another etc) how would I enter an array of coupon codes to test against?

Appreciate any help!

Meden

Simplest(laziest) way is to repeat my code for each coupon.
However, i'll try and modify this today to work with an array for you.

Thanks Ben - sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I'm quite happy to use the cut and paste option anyway (that should've occurred to me as well) so please don't go to any trouble on my account

If you have more than one coupon

If you have more than one coupon that you want to apply freedelivery too use the following code

# FREE DELIVERY COUPONS
	my @freedeliverycoupons = ('Freedeliv1','Freedeliv2','Freedeliv3','Freedelivetc');

	sub in_array
	{
	my ($freedeliverycoupons,$search_for) = @_;
	my %items = map {$_ => 1} @$freedeliverycoupons;
	return (exists($items{$search_for}))?1:0;
	} 
	
	if(in_array(\@freedeliverycoupons,$::g_PaymentInfo{'COUPONCODE'}))
	{
		my @Response = ActinicDiscounts::ValidateCoupon($::g_PaymentInfo{'COUPONCODE'});
		if ($Response[0] != $::FAILURE)
			{
				return(SetFreeShipping());
			}
	}

You can place it in exactly the same place as the other code above.
Note make sure you have all the discount codes set up in actinic before trying this. I forgot and almost pulled my hair out.

Brilliant! - thanks for that

Note that you can use Site level Variables in the Actinic Perl scripts.

So

'Freedeliv1'

Could be:

'<actinic:variable name="Freedeliv1" encoding="perl" />'

etc.

So the coupon codes could be changed via Settings / Site Options.

Cheers norman, now theres something i didnt know.
Im guessing the comma delimited array could be controlled by one variable?
