Anyone installed the changes needed for SPPC? Also: Additional Orders Info Company PO Account SPPC will be the trickiest. the other two not too hard I think. Todays goal - git'r done :)

Do you have one, both, or none of these in your database? products_ready_to_ship, products_ship_sep What version did you install? I would suggest 9.4.6 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7977

yes I can, will do The shop was new 2.3.3.4, then fully updated to 2.3.4 recently.

@@Harald Ponce de Leon Harald - so what is broken here? PP Express? or osC2.3.4? you say "totals for guests are based on the default tax and shipping values for the stores configured country." Well, in USA, default sales tax should be NONE. -still confused

The shop has SPPC installed if that is relevant. SPPC has customer groups, with the retail group default. additional groups taxable/nontaxable etc,,, but all that kicks in after logging in

yes - Display Prices with Tax : false on a side note - I'm experiencing a lot of 502 bad gateway errors during all this testing. comes and goes.

@@Harald Ponce de Leon That removes the product and tax breakdown details, but the $total amount passed still includes the tax amount, so probably not a good plan. Thanks though What is considered the default tax rate for the country if only one rate is set and only for one specific state. Shouldn't it be none or 0?

@@Harald Ponce de Leon Thanks for the link. in the interim until v4 arrives, is there a way I can not have the tax show on the initial arrival to the express checkout form? You said "The totals for guests are based on the default tax and shipping values for the stores configured country." I only have a tax set up for the State of Texas, not United States. Should there be a tax zone United States with 0% rate? just trying to understand. I've had several customers lately call me saying they are being assessed tax when they shouldn't and therefore abandoned their cart. I hate to think how many did not call... :) Thanks much

@@Harald Ponce de Leon Thank you for the reply. Instant update is already at true. I changed to false and tested, then back to true and tested. in both cases sales tax is being presented. Here is the site if you wish to see if you can duplicate. I appreciate you looking at this.

Using PayPal Express Checkout and Payments Pro (Direct Payment) v3.0 api 112 on osc 2.3.4 When a customer (not logged in) adds items to the cart and then clicks Express Checkout, they go to the paypal screen to login... all normal. The problem is SALES TAX is being displayed as part of the order total to every customer, when we don't even know where the shipment is going to yet.... I only assess Sales Tax to Texas. Why is Sales tax being displayed? Is this something I missed on the shop side? or a paypal setting is wrong? Help please

@@Jack_mcs I greatly appreciate your reply, but only wish I had a clue how to do that... :) I searched the entire thread and found four or five posts by people using Products Extra Fields, but not one example or answer of how to accomplish that. If anyone out there can offer me some direction or point me to an example, I can probably figure it out.

@@Jack_mcs I guess my question should have been what goes here given my setup above? if (OPTIONS_ENABLED_GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY == 1 && OPTIONS_GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY == 'db') { $extraFields .= ' products_description.google_product_category as google_category, '; or is there more to it?

disregard above db bleh

@@Jack_mcs For define('OPTIONS_GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY', ''); //enter db to load from a database field named google_product_category enter or enter a specific google category - see taxomy - http://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?answer=160081 What do I put here? I used the addon (Products Extra Fields v 2.1 for 2.3.1) which creates the tables products_extra_fields and products_to_products_extra_fields. I created the field google_product_category and added the taxonomy to the product listings. I should be set ??

@@Jack_mcs Thanks for the update! - working nicely. A suggestion for future development - add these two fields additional_image_link and mobile_link Both are new optional fields, but would be nice to have.

@@Jack_mcs Jack, What version is your latest version or which do you suggest? addons are confusing. Will it work with 2.3.4? Is it up to date with the latest feed specification requirements? https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494?hl=en

you need to add where p.products_status = '1' or WHERE c.categories_status = 1 at the appropriate places

The code is there to show estimated transit days for Ground services... not sure about express or freight though, I only use ground.

I used the code below for two heavy specific items I sell (added to fedexwebservices.php), but should work the same for usps or ups modules... simple // Begin surchage test - proof of concept code by burt $products_surcharge = array(28, 29); // any of these ID's in the cart, add the surcharge $products = $cart->get_products(); for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) { if (in_array($products[$i]['id'], $products_surcharge)) { $cost += 5; // amount to be added break; } } // End surcharge test Should do exactly what you need and not effect other products ship rates, nor need false weight bumps. Hope that helps.

assuming Linux os, check the write permissions for the *.xml files

fixed - thank you!

@@Jack_mcs removing information.php from exclude list solves info pages not showing, but "information.php" by itself (Page not found error) now also is generated... Any way to exclude that without excluding all the legit info pages?

Jack, typo above, yes I am using Contribution Version: 2.0.5 by Slick303, I messed with this all last night but I cannot figure out why my info pages are not showing up.. Ughh - just noticed information.php on my exclude list... how the heck that happened I dunno. Comparing to the clean package, I have these extra entries.... information.php should be removed... Should product_info be there? 28 => 'information.php', 29 => 'password_reset.php', 30 => 'product_info.php', 31 => 'tell_a_friend.php'

Is there a setting needed to show information.php pages? I see the /*** ADD INFORMATION PAGES ***/ code in the class file but on my sitemappages.xml file there are no info pages listed. I see admin has enable Articles, but no entry for enable Information Pages? just checking Everything else is working well as far as I can see, no errors, all the pages generate fine. Alternate class fails. store is 2.3.3.4, addon is 1.6
