Sorry, I just worked it out. You're so fast to reply!!! Great! ;) I had made a small change to the shop so that the URL would not have index.php in the URL when displaying the homepage. I forgot to edit FILENAME_DEFAULT on line 32 of header_tags.php to my newly set FILENAME_DEFAULT_HOME . :rolleyes: Thanks for your prompt reply. Unbelievable! :D PS Where would I edit the code to change the default Title atribute seperator which is currently - (space-space)?

Excellent contribution, thanks a heap. This is absolutely priceless, however I seem to have a problem with my index.php file. All aspects of this contribution seem to work fine, but not for the index.php file. None of the changes I make to index.php seem to work on-page at the front-end of the shop. On the homepage (catalog index) the Title, Description and Keywords fields render empty as such: <title></title> <meta name="Description" content="" /> <meta name="Keywords" content="" /> However, on the categories or manufacturers index pages (listings pages rendered by index.php) the 'Default Tags' and 'Meta Tags' work fine. When I click on index.php's checkbox reading 'View Result' I always get a series of 3 red rows or empty text boxes that appear below. I have checked the installation and it seems to be fine. I had to manually hack a couple of sections because of things like More_Pics_6 but otherwise, it was pretty much 99% copy and paste. I cannot identify the problem's source. Could someone point me in the right direction please? :blush: Thanks in advance for your time..

Thanks Alex, 'Transaction Type: Per Item' with 'Move tax to total amount: False' works great now :D I have not tested any other combination yet... Thanks for solving and updating so quickly!

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. :D

Alex, Oops... handling_1 is dodgy. It mirrors the tax_1 but with a - before it. When I remove the VAT from the same item and checkout they both show at 0 (no minus sign) No product with ANY VAT, pre or post adding this contribution works for me. It only works when the product is priced at 0.01 in which case the tax_1 shows at 0.00 and the handling_1 shows at -0.00. Clearly a bad test on my part last time, but interesting to find that it works at -0.00 and not -'any other amount'. Next with aggregated cart (and move tax to total) Notice the Handling fee at -11.17. I hope these are enough details.

Alex, Having edited the debug code I can complete a checkout to the paypal page (obviously no change to the original problem), however no e-mail is being sent to the address listed for my store (primary e-mail that orders go to). I have tried on several occasions and I have checked the mail server for lag-time. I should have received it if it had sent successfully.

ALEX, response to 2950 Line 532: $email_body .= .= $key . '=' . $value . "\n"; in Admin / Payment Modules

v.2.3 Issue It seems that the paypal error message (PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted packing value) occurs when osCommerce sends details to paypal with one or more products in it's basket which are priced with VAT on them. But... Strangely, this only happens when products that were added 'pre-PayPal IPN contribution' are being checked-out. Even if only one of the products (pre-cont.) in the basket have VAT, the error will occur. Remove the product's VAT (from the drop-down menu in the admin) and the details are sent to PayPal without a problem. I am not a coder, just a juggler so any help would be much appreciated. (-_-)v
