Coupon Cust Scope

[alphabet]

What is coupon custscope? Value is A?

How can I test for a shipping coupon?

Re: Coupon Cust Scope

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, can you clarify? Is custscope a custom field?

Re: Coupon Cust Scope

Hi Brennan,
My purpose is to provide better coupon messaging.

The s0x_coupon table has a custscope field with value of A. There is also an s0x_CouponAd table that has fields of error messages, example: s0x_CouponAd:freeship and s0x_CouponAd:already.

I would like the error messaging to be displayed near the coupon redeem button instead of the global:error_messages array typically found above the basket form.

I implemented an asynchronous coupon redemption that uses jquery to write the error/success message to a div just above the redeem button.

Here is the example code. I would like to improve the error message controller to provide more robust messaging.

1. Create a new page ACPN_XHR

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Cache-Control|no-cache, must-revalidate" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Expires|Wed, 29 Dec 2010 05:00:00 GMT" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Content-type|text/HTML" />
    <mvt:if expr="g.error_message_count">
        <mvt:foreach iterator="error_message" array="global:error_messages">
<mvt:comment>


...


Add error message controller here by testing s01_PriceGroups:config, s01_Coupons and s01_CouponsAd


...


</mvt:comment>


        <div class="small text-danger">&mvt:error_message;</div>
        </mvt:foreach>
    <mvt:else>
        <div class="small text-success">Success! Your coupon has been redeemed. Discount will display during Check Out.</div>
    </mvt:if>

2. Add to Jquery section:

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($){

...

$('.basket-coupon').on('click', '#redeem', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).prop("disabled", true);
    $('.coupon-message').hide();
    $('#loaderImage').show();        
    var form = $(this).closest('form');
    var formData = $(form).serialize();
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: '&mvt:global:sessionurl;Screen=ACPN_XHR',
        data: formData,
        dataType: 'html',
        success: function(data) {
            $('.coupon-message').empty();
                $('.coupon-message').html(data);
                $('#loaderImage').hide();
                $('.coupon-message').show();
                $('#redeem').prop('disabled', false);
            },
        error: function (xhr, status) {
            alert("Sorry, there was a problem!");
        }
    });
});

....

});

3. Add to javascript section:

<script type="text/javascript">
        function stripSpaces(obj) {
            var oCoup = obj.value.replace(/\s/g, "");
            obj.value = oCoup;
            obj.innerHTML = oCoup;
        }
    </script>

4. Add to BASK > Basket > Advance Mode

// merchant to decide position
// cannot be nested within a form
// uses Bootstrap 3 style hooks

        <div class="row basket-coupon">
            <div class="col-xs-8 text-right pull-right">
                <div class="coupon-message"></div>
                <form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=&mvte:global:Screen;">
                    <input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ACPN" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="&mvte:global:Store_Code;" />
                    <span>Coupon Code:</span>
                    <input type="text" name="Coupon_Code" onblur="stripSpaces(this)">
                    <button type="submit" value="Redeem" id="redeem" class="btn btn-primary">Redeem</button>
                </form>
                <div id="loaderImage" style="display:none;">
                    <img src="images/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Loading..."/>                    
                </div>
            </div>
        </div><!-- end .row -->
    <div class="clearfix"></div>

I have found users trying to apply the same shipping coupon in the BASK page because they did not get a message that the coupon was redeemed successfully and that the discount will be displayed on the OSEL page. (Coupon may be applied but not yet already used to max count.) I believe my price groups and coupons are configured correctly.

This may be more of a wish list issue, but a more robust price group error and information message hooks would be helpful.

Do you know what the custscope field does?
