ecart 5 - third day use - new cart columns not in calc dropdown

Wanted to set up individual items to apply VAT to.

Added Taxable column to Cart as number
Added taxable column to DB as int
Added Taxable =1 to add to cart server behaviour

Go to....TAX CALC

I dont get
If item TAXABLE exists
instead of a dropdown there's a text box ????? - see attached
AMEND: OK I can manually enter Taxable - but why do the other options use a dropdown ?


Went to add

Total of [TotalPrice] where [taxable] has a value of [1] [times] [<your tax rate>]
to tax calculation

[Taxable] ISN'T in the calculation dropdowns
AND A column I deleted from ecart (Duration) is still there

see attached

I just can't see sense in what is going on here?

AMEND: Yet another bug?
these columns have been added but are not shown in the calculation dropdowns at the bottom of the tax cal wizard
Also mentioned in this thread
showthread.php?t=4919


Lastly

Do it by hand

function WAEC_eCart1_TaxOnlyItems() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (($this->InCart("Taxable") == false))) {
$totalTax += ($this->ConditionalTotal("TotalPrice", "Taxable", "1") * .175);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalTax, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}



why does this function only work if ==false ??
if (true && (($this->InCart("Taxable") == false))) {

rather than
if (true && (($this->InCart("Taxable") == True))) {

Found a more flexible way

Add column ProductTaxRate to the product table in the DB

Add Column Taxrate to ecart
get it into the cart - add to cart button binding
Taxrate=<?php echo $row_rs_products['ProductTaxable']; ?>

add Calculation ItemTax = [Price] * [Taxrate]*[Quantity]

then tax calc (currently cant do this as mentioned about - dropdowns don't show added values)

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_eCart1_ItemTaxVal() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (($this->TotalColumn("ItemTax") > 0))) {
$totalTax += ($this->TotalColumn("ItemTax") + 0);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalTax, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

so that's another bug? - anybody?

Support is available between the hours of 9am and 5pm PST.

Th if itme in cart trigger uses the items ID value. It is used to check if an particular Item is in the cart.

the code:
if (true && (($this->InCart("Taxable") == True))) {


will only work if you set the ID for an Item to "Taxable".


I have been able to reproduce the problem you are reporting on the tax tab where the colomns are not showing correctly.

thank you Jason

Its a bit difficult with you guys on the the far side of the states and us here in the UK
start a day with a problem here, and there's no chance of support until the evening
that said - I appreciate the difficulties

Have to say this extension has thrown up a lot of problems
that makes it doubly hard when you are coming to a product first time
it has great potential to speed the process - just wish it all worked and I wasn't under pressure to present this on Monday

I have sent you a fix for this issue. If anyone else runs into this issue, please post here and I will get the fix out to you as well.

Jimmy could I have a copy of this fix as well please

Thanks,

I've opened a backend ticket and sent you the fix as well.

Hey Jimmy - can I get that fix as well. Since this is an obvious bug - why doesn't Web Assist post a hot fix for it so everyone can take advantage of it :)

Jimmy? Or Anyone at WebAssit.

I am having these problems as well - and would like the fix that you provided the others in this forum. It's been 24 hours since my last request - so I'm trying again :)
