Ajaxcart checking promocode validity for a product

[Webmaster001]

We have an ajaxcart. It seem the any promocode (coupon) can be applied to the cart. For example for Pro1 there is a coupon code of DEMO. When we apply that to Product2 it still gets applied although it doesn't change the actual pricing but it doesn't also give any warning to the clients.

 

The comparison cart is calling {$LANG.promoappliedbutnodiscount} but ajax cart doesn't. It seems we need to edit our cartsummary.tpl somehow to make sure that is applied. Any suggestion?

for ajaxcart, you would edit cartsummary.tpl with the following:

 

<div class="subtotals" id="promocodeholder">
{if $promotype}
{if $promotioncode && $rawdiscount eq "0.00"}{$LANG.promoappliedbutnodiscount}{else}
{$LANG.cartpromo}: {$promovalue}{if $promotype eq "Percentage"}%{elseif $promotype eq "Fixed Amount"}{/if} {$promorecurring}{/if}
<br />
<a href="#" onclick="removepromo();return false">{$LANG.cartremovepromo}</a>
{else}
<input type="text" id="promocode" size="20" style="font-size:9px;" value="{$LANG.cartenterpromo}" onfocus="if(this.value=='{$LANG.cartenterpromo}')this.value=''" /> <input type="button" value="{$LANG.go}" style="font-size:9px;" onclick="applypromo()" />
{/if}
</div>

also, if you wanted to make the error message more obvious, you could put it in a red box!

 

{if $promotioncode && $rawdiscount eq "0.00"}<div class="errorbox">{$LANG.promoappliedbutnodiscount}</div>{else}
