@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.

We run the website on Magento 1.5.0.1,
and application of catalog price rules are a real nightmare, it is completely random, sometimes we apply the rule ten times and it still doesn’t work, and finally works the day after, sometimes it never works at all, sometimes the price is correct on the product card, but when getting to the checkout, the price comes back to regular!! And finally sometimes, we have a sale rate up to 70% when we applied only 50%.

Does somebody have the same kind of problem?

1.4.2.0 doesn’t have this problem, thus it doesn’t need the fix explained in this post. however, make sure the cronjob is running properly and that the catalog rule is valid – the conditions actually generate a set of products.

Please HELP!!! I cannot get the discounted prices to display in my shopping cart. I am using version 1.4.2.0 & the code in app/code/core/Mage/CatalogRule/Model/Observer.php is:

if ($observer->hasCustomerGroupId()) {
$gId = $observer->getEvent()->getCustomerGroupId();
} elseif ($product->hasCustomerGroupId()) {
$gId = $product->getCustomerGroupId();
} else {
$gId = Mage::getSingleton(‘customer/session’)->getCustomerGroupId();
}
So it should not need changing

so far everything looks great at http://www.kerainfusion.com I manually re-applied the catalog prices and are waiting for the next two days window which is the time it take to delete my special prices from the product list….
