Post any OpenCart 1.4.7 Bugs here!

Found a small bug I haven't seen mentioned anywhere:

On the confirmation page, /index.php?route=checkout/confirm, the product link does not use the seo url.

no search engine would ever see that page!

Fair enough. I'll call it a black swan.

Any payments made with AlertPay do not show up in the dashboard, you need to go and dig through 'Orders > Missing orders' which is not ideal when you are generating 100+ sales per day. From responses I have seen before, Daniel was not surprised and the instructions were to dig through missing orders.

Why would Alert be featured as a payment gateway if it is not mature enough to be used? Any payment gateway that is included with a stable release should IMHO, be functioning as normal. So can anyone elaborate on why it is not working as it should be? Is there a fix? Does anyone want to sell a fix?

it works for me!

contact your host why the callback did not work.

Bug in admin/sale/contact

Hi,

When you navigate to /admin/index.php?route=sale/contact (v.147) you get the following error:
Notice: Undefined variable: text_default in /admin/view/template/sale/contact.tpl on line 21

How can this be resolved? Thanks

That response was not only unhelpful, but could even be passed off as a condescending. What host is is going to know what required settings need to be enabled for an OpenCart module? We use dedicated boxes btw and if I knew what it was I can adjust it accordingly so a point in the right direction would be more helpful than just calling up softlayer tech support and say "Hey the AlertPay callback doesn't work with my install of OpenCart, can you tell me why?" That sounds a tad ridiculous doesn't it? It is.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate what you are doing here but there is no appreciation to be found in a response like that- "

" Not something I would expect from the lead developer, perhaps you are just tired of this project and don't give a damn anymore? It sure seems like it at this point.

I'm not getting this error, I run 2 languages both are OK.
Maybe re-upload your files?

Maybe the tech support can see in their logs if there is an error and what the error is. This could help find a solution for your/the AlertPay issue.

Thanks for the idea

make sure the ap_securitycode security code is correct.

Hi,

Sorry, this appears to have been a bug caused by a third-party module. Apologies for the confusion.

Thanks for the update!

Before someone is answering like 'read before the tutorial' or 'search teh forum' or 'read all posts here': I did before!

For simplier describing, all tax classes below will have only 1 geographical zone.

Environement:
* OC 1.4.7
* php 5.2.9
* mySQL 5.0.51a
* Apache 2.2
* FireFox 3.6 / MSIE 8.x

The situation:
* need several tax (classes) because of different taxes in 1 country

Running with 1 tax class
* Set up 1 tax class (called like Tax 20%) and defined all required fields (correctly) -> works 100%

Running with 2 tax classes
* 1. class = 20%, 2. class = 10%
>> now here comes the funny part
# IF BOTH classes have PRIORITY 1 (or the same priority) products with a assigned tax class of 20% are showing 30% (base price PLUS 30%)
# AND products with a assigned tax class of 10% will have NO tax anymore!

Resume: it seems that the priority IS THE PROBLEM!
IF priority is set to different values, the calculation is correct.
BUT, if someone has several tax classes, who can remember which priority is already used?

There should be a check somewhere to NOT to use the same priority, otherwise the prices are calculated in some funny ways.
This bug explains also why so many postings here about wrong calculations, for example this one: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... &hilit=tax - but there are many more.

Good find. I'll look into this.

Ok I just tried this.
Set up 2 tax classes
IL State Tax: 10%
CA State Tax: 20%
Both priority 1

I assigned the IL Tax class to the Apple Cinema demo product
I assigned the CA Tax class to the Canon Camera demo product

When I add the Apple Cinema to my cart and use my IL address. I see 10% tax
When I add the Canon Camera to my cart and use my CA address. I see 20% tax

I am not seeing 30% or 0% in either case.

Q. this fix don´t work for me, please you can help me. I try on IE and firefox same problems, double options, box shrink, box lost, etc. I have 2 languages (english and spanish) i am from Costa Rica. I work my site in local.

Options duplicate error

Try it:
* with 2 tax classes (e.g.10% & 20%) but for ONE country only (as I wrote!!!)
* assign 2 products, one with 10, the other with 20

Now add both articles to your shopping cart - does no matter if logged in or not
-> and watch the calculations
-> disable the 'Showing prices with taxes' at the backend AND refresh your basket (in the frontend)

Similiar what I have done (except disabling - this was just for testing where the bug might be).

The other case it ONLY watching the products (no basked, same situation as described above).
There is the same bug visible!

United states IS one country

I add both items to cart.
They are 100 dollars each
Display Prices with Tax = No

If i set my shipping address to my Illinois, USA address. I see
Apple Cinema: 100
Canon Camera: 100
IL Tax: $10 (which is 10% of the Apple Cinema 100)
Total: $210

If i set my shipping address to my California, USA address. I see
Apple Cinema: 100
Canon Camera: 100
CA Tax: $20 (which is 20% of the Canon Camera 100)
Total: $220

All looks normal

Either you do not want, or you do not can understand ....
See by yourself:
Okay: Wrong: Now please explain that.

If you need it, I could build quickly a demo site with this settings - then you can check this by yourself if you are not able to simulate it.

btw: with US I guess you mean the United States of America and not the United States of Central or South America or Russia?
And the US is 1 country but 50 states (48 plus Alaska & Hawaii) where states means here federal states (country could be also state if translated where state could also mean [federal] state).
