Deal product / promotion for a time period with counddown timer

["Robert G." <ga...@mercon24.de>]

hello,

i do plan to handle a bunch of products as "deals". With deals I mean, that
there is a certain amount of time and stock where the product is available
for the promotion price. A counddown timer counds till zero. After this, or
if the stock is empty, the promotion is over and the product cannot be
bought afterwards.

Now I think about the best way to get that goal. The following options came
into my mind:

- I can define a price rule for each product, where I change the price to
the promotion price. In the productdetail / category I request if the
product has a price rule named f.ex."deal-product" and than I include a
timer.
--> that should work, cause I can define a start and end date to the price
rule, and the stock is used directly from the product.

- another way is to setup a new product type (maybe much more work to do),
where I get new fields with the promotion price, the duration and so on

do you have a better way? Or do you agree with my thinking? I prefer point 1
with my current knowledge.

please let me know.

greetings Robert

ok, this I got now...in documentation I read:
*
.2.3.11.3.3 IMPORTANT:
Price rules will only be run if an item has a List Price associated with
it.*

Dont know understand why, but ok it works :)

btw. I tried to define a price rule for a product, but I cannot see the price
change in my webstore.

I use Euro currency, but I also try to applie this rule to the currency and
the product, still the standard price visible.

Do you know anything about that?

Thanks :)
