Discount Code for Single Product

Question

Is it possible to create a discount code for just a single product? I know I can do it for a single catalog - but hoping I can do it on single products, too.

Answer 1

I've had to display two BC catalogs on one page whenever clients request this, which seems to be a common request. Often clients want one page displaying two different catalogs side by side.
You can accomplish this with jQuery.
Set up an empty div on the page that will hold the catalogs...
<div id="the-catalog-1"></div>
<div id="the-catalog-2"></div>
Then include a script so jQuery will use Ajax to load in the normal BC catalog page from the BC server and insert it into the div on your page...
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#the-catalog-1').load('/promotional-items div.shop-main').slideDown();
$('#the-catalog-2').load('/promotional-items/t-shirts div.shop-main').slideDown();
</script>
In this example I'm pulling a parent catalog named /promotional-items and reading only the content from that BC page that is within its div having class="shop-main"
jQuery will let you load only part of the content from the BC catalog page, in this case, I only wish to load the catalogs and/or products displayed within the div class="shop-main" in order to avoid loading the entire catalog page which of course would include the page template which I don't want.  I only want the part of the page in which BC is using the BC catalog layout or small product layout to list catalogs/products, eliminating the normal page template it displays within. For docs see "Loading Page Fragments" on the jQuery documentation page for the load command here: http://api.jquery.com/load/
In #the-catalog-2 in the example I am loading the products displayed within the t-shirts subcatalog off the promotional-items catalog.
You would likely need to set some CSS to set the width and perhaps height of #the-catalog-1 etc. although in my example I have no height so nothing is displayed until the catalog page loads and then I'm using a jQuery slideDown() to slide the div open and down with the content in it.
Of course in order to run jQuery code you site needs to load jQuery in your page template etc. If you don't know how to do that there are instructions on my site:
