Hi powerappit,

I am glad it works!

It looks like you are doing some interesting customization. I am curious to see your website if you are willing to share it with us.

Have a great weekend!

Hi powerappit,

Please note that the Conditions are evaluated in the context of the current page.
So on the category page none of the Product Conditions will be evaluated to True since you are not in the context of a product page.
Fortunately you can work around this by providing the different product ids and widget zone directly to the controller of the Anywhere Sliders.
In your product box view call this action:

@Html.Action("WidgetSlider", "AnywhereSliders", new {  productId = Model.Id, widgetZone = "the name of your specific widget zone here" })

Please let me know if this works for you!

Hi jakubz,

I agree that such a page will be useful. But since there are already some similar features in nopCommerce like Reward points then I believe that if such a page exists it should be part of the Core nopCommerce solution and only we can add custom benefits and discount from a custom plugin. This way we will have everything in a single place.
You can suggest your idea to the nopCommerce team by writing in the nopCommerce forums.

Hi Seriun,

Injecting widget zones is an interesting idea. But most probably we will start working on the new Mega Menu and have this in mind rather than changing the current Mega Menu since it is already quite complicated.
Thank you for your suggestions and examples! We will have them in mind while designing the new Mega Menu.

Hi jakubz,

We don't have such a discount plugin and don't have plans to do it for the next 2 months.
But you can easily implement the first one.
When someone subscribed to Newsletter they receive an email that they have successfully subscribed. You can simply include a coupon code that the customer can use. This way only newsletter subscribers will get this coupon code.

Hope this helps!

Hi Seriun,

Thank you for your suggestions!
They definitely make sense but I am not sure it should be implemented in the Mega Menu. The Mega Menu simply shows all the available categories and subcategories.

It all comes to having such "Sales" or "New in" subcategories with the appropriate products and the Mega Menu will show them.
But I don't think the Mega Menu should be responsible for creating such categories automatically. It is just a Menu and should not have such functionalities. I think the creation and update of such categories should be done by a different plugin.

I can suggest you a workaround for this. If you are using our Ajax Filters plugin, you can enable the On Sale filter and select that filter on a specific category, then copy the Url from the browser.
You can manually put this link in the Mega Menu (by modifying the Razor view files) and when clicked it will open that specific category and show only the discounted products in it.
Of course this will require manual work and is not possible to be achieved via the administration. In the next version of the Mega Menu, we plan to add some powerful functionality in the administration, so that you can build every single menu item easily from the administration.

Hi Seriun,

This is a nice idea!
Could you please share it in our UserVoice portal and let others vote for it?

Hi Attila,

I understand your frustrations but we have really good reasons to encrypt the stored procedure and I hope you will understand our position.

Hi Stuart,

That is always a solution (not a recommended one) but the idea of running the upgrade scripts one after another i.e nopCommerce one then our 7Spikes one, is to eliminate the need to delete tables and to reinstall the plugins. This way there will be no data loss.

You still need to do this manually in the view :)
