Shopping Cart box

[mitchk]

Hi guys - I'm trying to create a shopping cart box in the right hand column which displays the current amount just like the checkout_confirmation.php page i.e I want it to show :-

 

Sub Total

Carriage

V.A.T

Total

 

now I'm very new to this oscommerce and really can't get my head around it ?

 

I borrowed some code from the checkout_confirmation.php :-

 

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order.php');

$order = new order;

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order_total.php');

$order_total_modules = new order_total;

$order_total_modules->process();

 

and then use $order_total_modules->output() to display in my infobox but it only shows the sub-total and the total ?

 

can somebody please tell me how to display the VAT and carriage lines as well while I still have some hair left

 

many thanks in advance.

- the reason I want it is to continually show exactly how much the customer is spending and a breakdown. I go to many sites only to find that by the time you have registered and then added addresses a few little suprise costings are added - only to be shown at the final confirmation page.... - hope this makes sense

seems a simple idea but no one seems to have made it

How will you work out carriage amount when you don't know the shipping address?

How will you work out VAT when you don't know if you need to charge VAT to the buyer?

[mitchk]

carriage is free over £150 - it seems to work it out ok in the checkout_confirmation.php

 

I just sell to the UK so it is always 17.5%
