Support / Global attributes - size and colour
« on: April 25, 2014, 06:59:25 AM »
I've created a product and am using global attributes.
I've create a parent, with 2 child attributes, one being size and the other colour.
The size attribute has 4 size and the colour attributes has 4 colours.
When I view the product on the front end, I just see one drop down box which shows a long list with the following...
Small / Black
Small / White
Small / Red
Small / Green
Medium / Black
Medium / White
etc etc etc

What I want to see is two drop down boxes, one for size and one for colour so the customer can choose that way.

Am I setting it up wrong, or is this how it works in Abantecart ?
Thanks

Are  saying when you type in your www.yourdomain.com/index.php
the website is displayed BUT shows localhost in the url ?

Strange indeed.
No the attributes are still missing on refresh of the page in the backend, and the the frontend is only showing 2 of the 4 options, even though all four are in stock.
I've pm'd you access details so  you can have a look and play at your leisure if that helps.
Thanks

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
I've created a parent attribute called SandC and created 2 child attributes SSSS and CCCC
Ive populated the SSSS attribute with Small and Large and populated CCCC with Black and White

I've then created a product, added the SandC option
Changed the option values using the dropdown to get the values I want
Up to here... fine. (see pic6.jpg)
YET, as soon as I click save
It changes to .. well... have a look at pic7 !
The values disappear.
I've tried it quite a few times, uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times but getting the same results.
Its version 1.1.8 installed via softalucous
Any thoughts anyone ?
Thanks

Support / Re: Validation of fields when creating a product

wow !
Shouldnt a SKU be unique or at least a compulsory field ?
If you have the information to hand could you point me in the direction of where I should be looking to put some validation in.
We need to have a SKU entered otherwise we have no way to track inventory.
Thanks

I'm able to create a product by just entering one character in the Product Name field and nothing else in any other field. Is that right ?
There appears to be no checking on SKU or MODEL !

Thanks

Hi
Yes, I'm using the shipping extension.
You can set the tax rates on shipping no problem, but If, for instance I am selling a child's coat which is zero rated tax, the shipping still charges tax because of the shipping tax setting.
If I set the shipping tax setting to zero and sell an adult jacket with IS taxable, no tax is charged on the shipping.

I'll have to look to see how other carts manage it and report back !

Hi Lee
Yes, based in the UK and we charge vat on all areas of uk and most of eu.
I'll just enter the products excluding tax and leave it at that..

A further complication is that you only charge tax on shipping IF the product you're sending is taxable.
If the product is non taxable (eg childrens clothes or books), then you dont charge tax on shipping..
Abantecart really needs to charge tax on shipping depending on if tax is charged on the product..
 I'll leave that for another day though !
Thanks for all help, really appreciate the fast responses.

Hi Lee
Ah ! But if I set the tax class field to NONE, then it shows the tax as zero on checkout.

I was just trying to save myself from having to enter a price excluding tax when creating a product.
With my current ecommerce system there is a global option "Price entered includes / excludes tax"

Maybe one day abantecart will have a similar option :-)

Support / Model or SKU ??
« on: April 09, 2014, 10:54:05 AM »
Can anyone tell me why the order_products table holds MODEL but not SKU ??

I'm extracting order information to feed into my standalone inventory system, which is keyed on SKU.

I'd have thought SKU would have been better to store than Model.

Thanks
(apologies for all the posts with questions)

I'm not talking about displaying the price to the customer, I'm talking about when you actually set up a product from new in the back end (catalog / products)
The price you enter has to be (by the looks of it) excluding tax.

That means I have to deduct the tax from my selling price, and enter that into the price box.
Dont really want to do that calculation for every product I'm adding :-(

Thanks for that.
Not quite what I was after though.
I actually want to add a product and enter a price of say £6.00 which is the  vat inclusive price that I want to charge the customer.
Rather than doing what I have to at the moment, which is enter a price of £5

If that makes sense :-)
