Promotion Category

[oceatoon]

Hi every one

After working on the price rules , we need to prepare a page presenting
current Promotion
products (those that have PR applied). I noticed bit and pieces here and
there using the Promotion Category
concept, unfortunetly I saw nothing that activates a products membership to
this category according to
Price Rule activation( the same goes for desactivation).

is this correct, has there any work been prepared in this direction ?

Thanks fo thoughts

Could you step back and describe what you're trying to do, and in  
what way the outcome is different from what you expected?

If you are looking for a display of promotion information, then there  
is a promotion listing page and for each promo a detail page as well.  
You can get to the listing page from various links, including one by  
the short list of promos on the cart page. Each promo shows the  
products associated with it, but there is nothing that shows all  
products on all promos (you could create that easily, just beware of  
oversimplifying the information you present...).

Hi David

Sorry , I didn't notice my imcomprehensable explanation

what I was trying to say is based on price rules, This has nothing to do
with promotion rules as known in the Back Office.
we use price rules for the french trimestrial "sales and promotions". This
means each variant product has a specific price rule applied to it.

For the presentation of these sales products the Sales category concept
would be similar meaning all price ruled products will should be  members of
this Sales or promotion category.

Price Rules or Discount campaigns going on and off at all times , will
impact on the product price's and therefore their connection to this Parent
Sales Discount Category.
My idea would be to have products going in and out of this catgeory
according to price rules specifications more precisly start and end dates.
This way a Sales category can be viewed at all times and contain only price
ruled products.

Hope that's a bit more clear.

WDYT
any ideas, or existing stuff ?

I don't know of anything like this that exists already. Implementing  
it is a little tricky because it's kind of like a reverse application  
of the price rule conditions, but it should be do-able.

most of it is allready done.
ALl I have left to do is the presentation page.
But I'm quite interested in what you mean by "kind of like a reverse
application of the price rule conditions"  ?
