NordicTrack Promo tidbit

Here's something to think about when dealing with promos that are assigned to specific products on NT (I mean the old NT cuz the new one has not and isn't going live, something about it not officially being approved). if you create a promo to assign to a specific product, you must have a decimal value (or rather a precent value converted to decimal form, like 20% would be .2) in the Long Description field of the Promotion. The reason is there is a script that takes this value and figures out the new price as well as the savings and if this value is text then the Javascript pukes and goes into the fetal position all the while the JSP decides who cares about a price. And you conveniently get a product with no price showing on the cat page and product pages.

So if your promo includes a free item such as a bundle of iFIT cards it is best to either try leaving the Long desc field null or putting in a .00 as a value.

Of course we wouldn't have this problem for long if the new NT was going live, but I'm not bitter about that >:(
