Guest Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 JanZ, After a short hiatus, I'm back working on my site still trying to get SPPC to work with my MultiStores. I'm still trying to get the customer group update issue worked out from the admin side. I can choose a customer, change the customer group, hit update and see the change on the screen. If I open my database at that point, the change was not sent there. If I go back and select the customers again, the update is not shown in the customer list. This is what I previously posted and your reply. As far as I can tell, my register globals are on. I don't know a darn thing about the register globals so if there is an issue or incompatibility here I don't have a clue. Any ideas? Joanne QUOTE(reelwild @ Mar 27 2007, 12:45 AM) * I've noticed that when I try to change the customer group in the admin panel, the group does not change. I've rechecked my file but don't see where the problem may be. Any assistance would be appreciated. Strange, looks fine to me. You don't happen to have a register_globals problem do you? Otherwise change the $HTTP_POST_VARS for SPPC specific variables to $_POST ones like in the top of the file: CODE // BOF Separate Pricing per Customer $customers_group_id = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['customers_group_id']); to: CODE // BOF Separate Pricing per Customer $customers_group_id = tep_db_prepare_input($_POST['customers_group_id']); In that case you should also change the $listing on line 1246 (in your file) to a $_GET like: CODE <?php // BOF customer_sort_admin_v1 adapted for Separate Pricing Per Customer switch ($_GET['listing']) { Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iperez_genius Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) just wondering why my create account page doesn't have the company name, tax number input as per the description at the very top of this post?

Jan Zonjee Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 just wondering why my create account page doesn't have the company name, tax number input as per the description at the very top of this post? Did you set Company to true in admin->Configuration->Customer Details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I can choose a customer, change the customer group, hit update and see the change on the screen. So the update has been sent to the database and can be retrieved... If I open my database at that point, the change was not sent there. If I go back and select the customers again, the update is not shown in the customer list. This appears to contradict each other. Without pouring over the code there is really nothing I can say about it. Are all customers in one table or has each store its own table?

beachkitty85 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I can't seem to get the tax exempt feature to work. I've read all I can about it in this thread, but nothing answers my question. I'm logged in as a tax exempt customer and here is my php session info (or whatever you call it): [sppc_customer_group_id] => 1 [sppc_customer_group_show_tax] => 0 [sppc_customer_group_tax_exempt] => 1 So it appears that everything is working correctly on the session end. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise take a look at tep_get_tax_rate and tep_get_tax_description in includes/functions/general.php because if I remember correctly that is the only place it comes in action.

ptothew Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am looking for a way to simply add a new field to a user's profile that would represent a percentage they have off of the entire inventory. In a previous shopping cart I built the field was named 'Discount Percentage'. So in the end if I enter 55 into this field from that point forward when the user logs into the shop they will see all of the prices discounted 55% off. I don't want to control this with groups because during negotiations we may come up with a really specific number (lets say 67%). Could somebody please let me know if this has been done before? There were a couple posts where people asked about this, but they were never answered directly about this. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I don't want to control this with groups because during negotiations we may come up with a really specific number (lets say 67%). SPPC can't do it that way. You would need the group. You could easily add all prices to the database with a single query, so that is not the point. Perhaps you are better off with a simpler contribution that works with the order total. That way prices shown are full prices but when you go to checkout you get the discounted prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlyxzen Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 i seem to have having some trouble integrating easy populate with SPPC. regardless of which version of easy populate i use , none of the complete exported tabl files have fields for SPPC (v_customer_price_1 etc:) I have gone through the easy populate.php file and uncommented the SPPC lines (v_customer_price_1 etc:) . However one thing i found unusual is that in my OsCommerce product_groups table my fields are customer_group_price_1 not customer_price_1 like it is in the easy populate file ) If anybody has gotten SPPC working nicely with easypopulate any help would be greatly appreciated ( i have done alot of searching on the forum and could not find anythign as yet to help me ) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 JanZ, I apologize, I wasn't clear about this. If I am inside the oscommerce ADMIN section, and trying to change the customer group, I can change the value, hit update and see the change on the screen right away. At the same time, I have the actual database table open in another program. The value is not being passed to the table at all and is not being updated into the database table. If I go back to the oscommerce ADMIN, choose customers again, the value was not updated. There is another table customer_info that deals with what store they belong to so I don't think there is a conflict there. Any ideas? Joanne I can choose a customer, change the customer group, hit update and see the change on the screen. So the update has been sent to the database and can be retrieved... This appears to contradict each other. Without pouring over the code there is really nothing I can say about it. Are all customers in one table or has each store its own table?

candleman Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Me neither. This is such a general error that is impossible to answer. Basically it means that in the code you are asking for the results of a query, but the query itself hasn't been executed. Try a file comparison program to see where the missing query might be (maybe stuck in an if/else part that isn't executed?). I gave up on this for a bit and just got back to it. I found the problem and it works fine now. I added the mod using the written directions the first two times I did it, this last time I did it using the directions, then used my compare program to check that against the enclosed categories.php file. (Where I assumed the problem was). I found two discrpencies in the written directions. After following the directions this piece of code is what the directions give me. In mine it's around line 1372 [if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['search'])) { // changed for Price Break 1.11.3 $products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_quantity, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_price1, p.products_price2, p.products_price3, p.products_price4, p.products_price5, p.products_price6, p.products_price7, p.products_price8, p.products_price1_qty, p.products_price2_qty, p.products_price3_qty, p.products_price4_qty, p.products_price5_qty, p.products_price6_qty, p.products_price7_qty, p.products_price8_qty, p.products_qty_blocks, p.products_date_added, p.products_last_modified, p.products_date_available, p.products_status, p2c.categories_id from " .

candleman Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 The woes continue with Qty price breask per customer for SPPC. I got as far as testing it and something going on in the shopping cart. It all appears correctly on the product info page. When you click on the add to cart button it gets added to the cart with the correct price, but the carts total is double what is in the cart. IE 1 - 0.60 item in the cart Sub-total : 0.60 Cart total: 1.20 Then I refresh the page 1- .60 item in cart sub-total: 1.80 cart total: 2.40 Refesh the page or even leave the page and come back 1 - .60 item in the cart sub-total: 3.00 Cart total: 3.60 See a pattern here? I can completly remove everything from the cart and as soon as I place something else in it, it adds to the old total. doesn't matter if I had a price break set on it or not. I did a file compare if the shopping cart class in the contrib and the one I have and found no difference except for the other mods I have installed. Not sure what to check.

I did a file compare if the shopping cart class in the contrib and the one I have and found no difference except for the other mods I have installed. Not sure what to check. As far as I know those actions are controlled by two files: the class shopping_cart.php and includes/application_top.php. I wouldn't know where your error/conflict with other contributions is.

Pseudonym_l33t Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi there. I've installed the SPPC contribution, and have been really impressed with it. It does absolutely everything I could possibly need. So a huge thankyou to those of you who wrote it! I have just one problem... I need my store to show Retail prices including tax by default, and for a Guest visitor, it does this perfectly. However, when that guest logs in, the prices change to Retail, excluding tax. The settings for the Retail customer group are to "Show prices with tax", and the Retail group is not tax exempt. So as far as I can tell, all settings are correct. I've Echoed the $sppc_customer_group_show_tax variable, and it's definitely set to 1. I've searched through the code, and traced the process right through until the product_listing.php page calls the tep_get_tax_rate() function, which is just as per the contribution file. Can anyone suggest where I should look next, please? What could be causing this problem? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Can anyone suggest where I should look next, please? What could be causing this problem? Everything looks like it should indeed. Perhaps that customer has an address outside the particular tax zone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindogmx Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) The old MySQL 5 problem :D Trying to sort by price the products of a category: 1054 - Unknown column 'p.manufacturers_id' in 'on clause' select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd left join products_group_prices_cg_2 as tmp_pp using(products_id) left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c, products p where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '3' and p2c.categories_id = '19' Any search: 1066 - Not unique table/alias: 'pd' select count(distinct p.products_id) as total from products p left join manufacturers m using(manufacturers_id), products_description pd left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id, categories c, products_to_categories p2c, products_description pd, categories c, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '3' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and ((pd.products_name like '%lap%' or p.products_model like '%lap%' or m.manufacturers_name like '%lap%') ) I know this is all because of SPPC not being compatible with MySQL5 and that this has been known for months. I've found some clues and tips around the forum and made some fixes on my own but the problem is endless! The big question is, besides downgrading to MySQL4 and since this problem is so old, is there a definitive solution yet? Somewhere to find all the required code changes? A thread? Some 'magic' setting in MySQL server? If not, I think it is time to start working on a contribution. Perhaps we can team up? Thank you!

While you're at it, perhaps you could tell me one more thing... If you configure osCommerce to display prices excluding tax, is there any point in the checkout process where it gives the customer an all-inclusive total?
