As far as I remember, 1.4.2.0 doesn’t have the bug described here. So your problem is somewhere else…

Hi, I’m using version 1.4.2.0 and I’m trying to set a catalog promotion.
I already reindexed all, and cleaned up cache, bt it’s not working.
Can this be fixed with what you decribed? thanks.

@Steve
Steve did you find a fix / solution to this problem?
My new site went live the other week and I am always having to re apply the catalogue rules.
It is really a pain.

I have the same problem using 1.6.1 version …

In catalog list pages, rule is applied, however in the product page rule is lost…

Any workaround regarding this? really stupid bug…

It looks like the catalog price index is causing this. You just have to push the “apply rules” button again and then it’s working until the next index.

A quick hack, won’t be to reapply rules when price index is changing??

@Jordi We have the same issue. Running 1.5, and Catalogue Price Rules drop off every 24 hours. We have set up cron jobs, edited cron.php, and attempted to source solutions with absolutely no luck.

Hi, I have this problem but I lose the rule in the product view.
I have applied a 50% discount in all the catalog but, suddenly, once per two days the price in the list is the special one but in the product view I can’t see it!

I have done your solution but the problem is not fixed!!

We found that the catalog price rules in 1.5.1.0 are getting “lost” after some time, meaning they are not applied any more (thoogh the backend is saying they are applied).

It looks like the catalog price index is causing this. You just have to push the “apply rules” button again and then it’s working until the next index.

We’ve now set the price index to manual change and will observe it.

Biof & Rikki, as the title of the post says, this patch is only for Mage 1.4.1.0. This has been fixed in 1.4.2. If your cart rules don’t get displayed, you’re probably doing something wrong – also, please note that bundle products and cart rules are quite messy.

@Biof
I’m having the same problem on 1.5.1.0 – the discount just doesn’t get displayed in the checkout review step, where in the cart is says it’s applied fine. Seems to only occur with Specific Coupon promotions.
