Got a Critical Error while updating to 1.4.3.

2025-11-10 14:19:33 - Unknown Error: AbanteCart core v.1.4.2 SQL-ERROR: "array (
'error_text' => 'Duplicate column name \'placeholder\'',
'errno' => 1060,
)" in /core/lib/package_manager.php on line 830

How to resolve?

I'm hoping that someone here can help. I've tried several of the shipping options built-in to AbanteCart and I cannot get the integration to tax the shipping price. We are using the same tax codes as our ERP which does tax shipping and I have the shipping methods set to taxable. I am using the 1.4.1 (also tried 1.4.2) version of AbanteCart and the 1.1.3 version of the extension. I've tried both the Flat Rate and Weight Based extensions. I also have the extension calculating after the shipping. Please let me know if you have any suggestions to get this working.

Getting the below error on the checkout page and no shipping method is showing on orders summary. Checked the log and cannot find anything regarding this error. Using the default free shipping and weight based shipping.

Any ideas?

{"error_title":"Application Error!","error_text":"Please check error log for more information","error_code":400}

[The way it is now:]

I searched the site and didn't see a similar situation. I am having an issue with the way tax is added to shipping. I've tried a few things with Order Calculation but can't seem to get the cart to behave the way I want / need. Shipping is taxed in my state but the tax is being added to the shipping cost instead of to the tax field. I need the shipping to show the actual shipping amount without the tax but still include it in the calculation. See example for clarification.

The way it is now:
Sub-Total:     $115.30
Shipping:      $10.55 (9.95 + tax)
Sales Tax:     $6.92
Total:           $132.77

The way I need it to work so it doesn't cause issues when the order is entered into our ERP:
Sub-Total:     $115.30
Shipping:      $9.95
Sales Tax:     $7.52
Total:           $132.77

Thanks!

Perhaps I have something set up wrong but I am having an issue with Promotions. I have retail pricing, dealer pricing, and special dealer pricing on some items. The retail pricing shows the correct special price for dealers but it appears that the "Discounts" section is overriding the "Specials" section. Is the only way to correct this to set the start date of the regular dealer discount for after the special ends?

Thanks!

Is there any way to format the information in the blurb on the product information page so that it does not show HTML code in List view? I was able to use <br> tags to break up the information on the product view page but when on a category page in list view, the <br> tags show as text and the blurb is not formatted correctly.

Thanks!

Edit: This if for v1.4.1.

I've done searching and come across a few threads but so far I have not been able to search by model from the top search bar. You have to go into the search and check the box. All of the suggestions don't affect the search functionality. If it matters, I'm using the Novator template. Any other suggestions?

Is there any way to display the correct group discounted pricing while logged in (other than using special) on the category pages and not just the product details page?

I tried searching and have so far not found an answer on how to remove the theme switch button. I have some dark colors for logos and images that do not work well with the dark theme and I'd rather not allow the switch so the site doesn't look ugly. Thanks in advance.
