Re: [mv] Quantity Pricing to apply to all products

[Stephen Ricketts <steve@jellybeanmedia.co.uk>]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, unfortunately using the
MixMatch directive has proved tricky to say the least. I know, from the
mailing list, that a lot of other users who have had similar problems have
been able to solve them by using some code that Mike posted a while back:

---------------------------------------------------------------
UserTag mix-match Order number
UserTag mix-match Routine <<EOR
sub {
    my $nitems = shift;
    my $ca_string = 'products:price';
    my $level;
    my @breaks = ( 5, 10, 25 );
    foreach $level ( @breaks ) {
        last if $nitems < $level;
        $ca_string = "pricing:q$level";
    }
    return $ca_string;
}
EOR

CommonAdjust   "[mix-match number='[nitems]']" ;products:price
---------------------------------------------------------------

I was hoping that someone who has got this to work in a situation similar to
mine could let me know exactly what needs to be changed in which files, such
as: do you still have to set MixMatch  Yes in catalog.cfg and which fields
need to be present in the pricing.asc?
I'm sorry if this seems stupid to some of you, but I would have thought that
a lot of users would appreciate a 'definitive' guide to this subject which
is only really touched on in the docs.

Many thanks

Steve
