Special Price overriding the discounted price with bulk buys

OC 1.5.3.1 ~ An adjustment needed somewhere? We have some products where I have a tiered discount structure for bulk buys.

I recently put on a special for the “parent” product, but found that when customers tried to order bulk amounts the price defaulted to the special price which was higher than the discounted bulk buy price.

I was unable to find a way to set it up such that the discounted amount applied once they hit the trigger quantity rather than having an overriding special price. I would only expect the special price to appear if it was a better price than the discount price (which it only ever is for the parent product and not for any bulk quantities) Is there a way around this?

What... are we the only ones that have this issue?

I know that there is a topic in the BUG section of our forums that "solves" this issue.

Thanks i2Paq appreciate your reply! The closest fix we could find is from the brilliant Uksitebuilder:http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ls#p216646 this seems to work except the special price is reversed. The crossed out amount is the correct price which funnily enough is added to the cart correctly
