REQ: oscommerce promo code module

[Justin Koivisto]

OK, here's one of the rare times where I call out to all of you. ;)

I need to implement a promotional discount code module into osCommerce
2.2 Milestone 2. I've never created an OSC module (because I've never
used it before this project), so I need some direction.

The things I need to do:

* add a promo code field to the Payment Information screen
(checkout_payme nt.php)

* query the database to lookup the code and calculate it's value (may be
percentage or dollar amount - I already have functions for this)

* apply the discount value to the order

What I need to know is what files do I need to edit (if any) so that
when you "install" the module via OSC admin that the fields and code are
activated?

I am sure that I can figure out the rest from there. Any help is
appreciated, especially from anyone with OSC module creation experience!

TIA

FWIW, here is some documentation on "modules"
<http://wiki.oscommerce .com/apiModulesShipp ing> (p.s.: I didn't work
with that, but sometimes ago I was digging on that)

Thanks for the link. However, what I need to make is an Order_Total
module, not a hipping one. On the other hand, I noticed last night that
I didn't search through one of the contribution categories. I pushed my
way through last night, and I think I found one that I can use or modify.

OK, for some reason the module called "Credit Class & Gift Voucher"
didn't get my attention when I was searching the OSC contribs. It does
exactly what I needed.
