Can anyone make an extension for sales promotions and input option quantities? I have the input option quantities from opencart and the dev made the necessary changes so that it could work in Arastta but did not want to put the module in Arastta.

You can see it working here (http://digitally-driven.com/index.php/j-teck-jxs-inktec-sublinova-g7-hi-lite-sure-dye-sublimation-ink/j-teck_dye_sublimation.html) in both the category and product pages.

I'm also in need of an extension to add sales promotions to an item. The manufacturers I work with require specific details on how sales are to be written.
Ex. SureColor S40600 Solvent Production Printer 64″ – $12,995 after $2,000 Instant Rebate
SureColor S60600 Solvent Production Printer 64″ – $18,995 after $2,000 Instant Rebate

You can see examples of how the rebate is written on this site: http://www.imagingspectrum.com/epson-stylus_pro_printers/

    OC devs get peer pressure from OC admin so it's not easy for them. This extension is a good one for promotion.

    Better buy extensions directly from the developers, or through other stores than the OC, if you can: http://opcrat.com/sales-promotion

    Anyhow, have you tested this on Arastta Denis? Daniel here mentioned elsewhere, in the ideas section I think, that it didn't work in Arastta?

    I purchased the extension Denis mentioned and have attempted to install it however it does not work in Arastta. I have had zero response from the developer in the past week. I did contact them through opcrat.com as well but there website doesn't work very well. I don't know if the email went through. I contacted them by email but have not heard anything. t used the extension before in opencart and it was a good extension. I have requested support from another developer here and I believe it will be available in a couple of days.

    What he is not sure of is whether there is a way to have the text disappear when a promotion ends. Does anyone know if that can be done?

    He should probably just re-use the same code/trigger as the one making the promotion itself disappear, even a simple db call to check the expiry date would do the trick. I don't have the file/code refs, but I'm sure he'll find it quickly if he looks at it.

    Edit! You can also point him to the great developer doc section here: https://arastta.org/docs/developers/quick-start

    He's doing it. Looks like he'll be making two extensions and he'll be bringing them to Arastta! I hope we can get more developers on board. Should be ready in a few days.

    Great news Daniel, feel free to contact me personally for any help there.

    We've also made some OC templates (i.e. Journal :)) compatible with Arastta for some of Cloud customers and we're working on bringing their developers to Arastta Marketplace ;)
