Hey Luke,

 

I just noticed something, Apply Coupon code on Cart.aspx page is not showing up for any of the roles except administrator. What do you think might be the problem

 

The page load looks like this

 

if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            lblCheckout.Text = (string)HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("Common", "ReadyToOrder");
            btnEstimateShipping.OnClientClick = string.Format("OpenResizablePopupWindow(\"{0}\", 400, 400)", SiteNavigation.ShippingEstimatorPage);
            Block block = Block.GetByName(Constant.UI.ProductSummaryBlockName, ProductSummaryData.DefaultBlock);
            productSummaryData = Utils.FromXml<ProductSummaryData>(block.Data.ToString());
            BindControls();
            if (null != Cart)
            {
                pnlGiftWrap.Visible = CommercialStoreConfigurationSection.GetSection().GiftWrapEnabled;
                couponDiscount = CoreHelper.GetCouponAmount(Cart);
                giftCertificateTotal = CoreHelper.GetGiftCertificatesAmount();
                UpdateTotals();
            }
            if ((!Roles.IsUserInRole("Distributor")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Dealer")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Partner")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("WirelessStore")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Retailer")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Jober")) && (!Roles.IsUserInRole("Administrator")))
            {
                      googleCheckoutButton.Visible = false;
            }
            else
            {
                pnlInStoreCheckout.Visible = InStoreCheckoutEnabled();
                googleCheckoutButton.Visible = !WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup();
                pnlCoupon.Visible = !WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup();
            }

I changed the

 

pnlCoupon.Visible = !WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup(); 

 

to

 

pnlCoupon.Visible = true

 

Now the Apply Coupon shows up but i try to apply the coupon i get this error

 

 

 

The following error(s) were found:

• Discount Group cannot use coupon.

This is rather a business rule rather than anything else. If you wish to allow coupon to be applied on top of the discount group, please feel free to remove the code that blocks using the coupon.

I am not sure where its getting blocked. I don't see it getting blocked in the above code. Where else it might be getting blocked?

In Coupon.cs method Validate.

What does the function WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup() return?

It means that the current user is in the role which has discount on all the products.

Shouldn't this line in coupon.cs

 

if (WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup())
                throw new ApplicationException("Discount Group cannot use coupon.");

 

be

 

if (!WebUtils.IsDiscountGroup())
                throw new ApplicationException("Discount Group cannot use coupon.");

 

 

???

 

 

Because the way it is now, it says  If user is in discount role, throw the exception.

 

 

 

You just need to remove the line. The business logic is the discount group cannot use coupone.
