It’s a lengthy setup, but well worth the time to go through it (IMO) since you may learn some great things along the way.
It may be one of the most involved setups available here, and it uses some of the more advanced features of SambaPOS, which is very rewarding.
One of these days, I may re-write the Automation (naming conventions) to facilitate easy export to a DB Tools file that you can just “plug-in” to your system. But as-is in it’s current state, it forces users to become intimate with the power and inner-workings of SambaPOS that every serious user should know.
hmmmm…when adding a new Document Type GC Accounts does not appear in drop down menu…
Ive checked prior steps multiple times and all have been entered correctly
@RickH is correct. Create the GC Account Type and the GC Accounts first. If they still don’t show up in the Transaction/Document, log out and log back in and try again.
Hmm… would need to ask @emre or another v2 user about that. Although I started my experimentation with v2.99c, my production system was not in place until after v3 was well on it’s way.
Some limited support is available, but v2 is really dead, as is v3 IMO.
OK … All was going well until Setting up Rule RU GC Select NUMBPAD was looking for the AC Display Ticket Action… I have a Display Ticket Action but not an AC Display Ticket action
AC Display Ticket Action is a custom action made by QMcKay it is not a default action. Just use Display Ticket action name it what you want and put a value of 0 in it. AC is a naming scheme @QMcKay likes to use.
Thanks…almost there I think
But… Action called Update State Redeemed doesn’t exist
and… when entering Rule AC GC Add Line to Text File…the 'sometext" data string does not fit in the box
Remember the names of actions your seeing are not the actual actions they are the name the person that wrote the tutorial called their action. That sounds like an Update Order State action. Or perhapse entity state?
@Jesse is correct. This is a “generic” action that we use often in many setups. It looks like this (tutorial updated to include it as well):
@Jesse is correct again - we are updating a State (for an Entity in this case).
The screen shot shows it is firing action AC GC Update State GCStatus
In the text below the screenshot, it was referred to as AC GC Update State Redeemed
I have changed the text to correctly reference AC GC Update State GCStatus
Not at all - no worries. It’s nice to see someone actually going through the (sometimes tedious) task of setting something up for themselves, instead of asking for a “plugin” solution!
Thanks to you all for the quick responses…Gift Card is now working perfectly…
2 More questions
I installed DATABASE Backup module but when I click ‘activate’ in Samba Market while signed in it seems to do nothing. I do get the pop up Activation Warning
Am I able to create a full backup and be able to drop it on another windows tablet and have it work as is? I would like to have a working backup of sambapos once I have it all working 100%
