RE: MV3:12 Discount Help Needed/ Gift Certificate
****** message to minivend-users from Ryan Hertz <rhertz@gyb.baits.com> ******
This might be of help, actually, I found this message from:
****** message to minivend-users from "Jeff Carnahan"
<tails@dakotacom.net> ******
Try doing this:
[if type="session" term="source" op="eq" compare="wfm"]
[discount code="ALL_ITEMS"] $s * .9[/discount]
[/if]
I assume you wanted 10% on all the items... The way you have it below,
you've got to have items in your cart already, but if they're
just entering into your site (i.e. from a referrer) then it's likely they
don't already have stuff in their cart, so the ALL_ITEMS
tag works better here...
