Problem with VCS Coupon Manager and "include" categories?

[lea-ann]

Hi, I'm trying to start a promotion tomorrow and need to finalize my coupons. I'm having trouble getting the VCS Coupon Manager to "include" certain categories only. I updated the module to 4.52c in October and ever since then it doesn't work. I don't have the 4.51c of the module, so can't roll back. Any ideas?? Lea-Ann

The "fix", in case anyone else is having trouble is to have a dummy product or category as the first item in the "include" list.

Hi Lea-ann,

I think the real solution is to prefix the list with a pipe symbol. For unknown historical reasons, some list fields in our modules require a leading and/or trailing pipe, some do not. Inserting the dummy product has the same effect of adding a leading pipe. I know....
