>>>
All of the items that will be placed in the shopping cart have the same
price and price breaks are based on how many items you buy. Ie: buy 3 get
1 free. I had it figured out in theory how to make this happen but things
seem to be failing me at step one in implementation.
>>>
This is a little script that will count the number of items in the cart &
display some extra items they may get for free if they bought more than 3
items:
[perl interpolate=1]
my $var = [nitems] || 0;
my @items = ();
my $items = '';
my $out = '';
[item-list]
push(@items,'[item-code]');
[/item-list]
foreach (@items) {
$items = $items . " $_";
}
if ( ($var >= 3) && !($items =~ /F/) ) {
$out = '
For purchasing 3 items you may choose a FREE item:
[order 001F]Free Item #1[/order],
[order 002F]Free Item #2[/order],
[order 003F]Free Item #3[/order],
[order 004F]Free Item #4[/order],
[order 005F]Free Item #5[/order],
';
}
$out;
[/perl]
It's not exactly what you want but I think it will give you a good start. in
this example the free items were entered as seperate products in the
database with a cost of $0.
The [nitems] tag returns either the total number of items in the cart or the
number of unique items (doesn't account for quantitys) I don't remember
which & I didn't see an explanation in the docs, but I recall that it does
one or the other. Sorry I don't remember which.
>>>
This is very strange as I am not echoing the variable in my code. This of
course could be entirely skipped if I could get a list of all of the
variables available to me and just pull the total number of unique items
from interchange. ( is there such a list somewhere? )
>>>
If I remember right there is a thing in the perl tag that if there is only 1
variable used it is automatically returned.
