Full Cart Summary workaround

I think what Bill was pointing out is that you were forcing a single row into 3 columns in a 2 column table. He was encouraging you to look at what you'd done rather than simply copy/pasting without understanding the ramifications.

You beat me to it by seconds, Norman

Cheers guys,

I appreciate the hints in the right direction. I'm no programmer so appreciate all the help I can get. I must admit I have learnt a lot with all this fiddling around!

Thanks again

Okay,

I've uploaded a different patch which now incorporates shipping, variable tax, discounts and surcharges. It uses Actinic's rounding & tax calculations so prices should be exact to the penny. If you want to use it, I'd recommend starting afresh from your original, backed-up files to avoid any problems.

I tested some products which used quotes (single & double) in the item name and I can't seem to recreate the problem that Garry reported. If anyone has this issue and can post a link, I'll look into it.

Glad people are finding it useful

Graham,

Thanks for the update to this great script. Does this version still show ex VAT prices per line or does/can it show inc VAT prices per line?

Cheers

David,

It shows the prices as ex VAT, and adds the VAT of the items + shipping as a seperate line.

I've done it this way since its a relatively simple operation to get the raw item price via the actinic scripts. The various VAT and shipping totals are calculated by actinic just before the cookie is written, so the patch doesn't really have to worry about calculating any VAT on individual items.

Getting the item price inc. VAT is more complex, but I will be looking into it.

Graham,

Thanks for that, I figured it would be fairly complicated!!!!

Unfortunately displaying the price ex VAT doesn't really work for us but the script itself would be a huge add on to the site.

Anyway, if you do ever manage to do it, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers again

David

Great contribution Graham!

I was holding off using it as we have a mixture of zero-rated and taxable goods but thanks to your latest modifications re tax, now works a treat.

Thanks again

Thanks again

Graham,
I just wanted to thanks you again for a great contribution. The VAT issues are now solved for us so it's working as intended.
I also wanted to thank you for your User Input Formatting addition as found on you site. That really is a time saver!

One more time...thanks!

Thank you

Just wanted to reiterate a lot of the comments so far.

Thanks for a great patch - I now have it working on my site but need to do some alterations to get it looking 'cosmetically' right.

Thanks again.

Shipping Costs...?

Hi Graham,

Thanks again for the great work...

I've installed the latest patch and the shipping costs seem to only appear after you have started the checkout and chosen your country. Also trailing zeros seem to be omitted? Please see attached screen shot...

Could this be a problem with the script, or more likely, something I've done?

I've checked the double quote thing again and it seems to be working Ok now.

Thanks again

Garry

Hi Graham,

I've got yet another question for you, or anyone else in the know....

I'm using some custom pages that also display the shopping cart. The problem is I cant get the customised cart to display the values (qty, product, price etc) at all. It only shows the text View Basket & Checkout. For the time being I've left the default Actinic code in place.

Now I'm using the same code that I included in the brochure pages but cant seem to get this going.

Any ideas please?

[whirlex]

if the pages you are having trouble with are outside of the acatalog folder, you will need to put the full url in to the .js files in the head section of your page.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pegasusbathrooms.co.uk/acatalog/actiniccore.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pegasusbathrooms.co.uk/acatalog/actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pegasusbathrooms.co.uk/acatalog/act_sections.js" TYPE="text/JavaScript"></SCRIPT>

Obviously replace my URL with yours

Thats what I did with mine and it works fine!

[Goders]

Cheers Ben,

Just tested it out on one of my pages and it works a treat. Just got to do the rest now.

Thanks again!

DO you use Dreamweaver? And are all the pages you are making/modifying the same design/layout (minus content?)

If so make 1 template in Dreamweaver and Assign areas for Content and Page Title. Assign this to the previoius pages.

Then when you make one change it automatically updates all the template pages. Upload and a days work is done is about 5mins.

We have about 5 templates for each of out 5 big sites. Even when we have changed design we just remove all the existing code, place new code in reassign the editable regions and its done.

Worth spending a day setting up!
