Hi

Sorry didn't notice you had a forum and already mentioned the issue to you by email.

Basicly the error is that is not showing taxes with the setting "apply generic rules", you already know that VM changed the code.

Please let us know any updates in these issue,

And thanks again for this amazing plugin.

Regards

Basically, the VirtueMart function that I had to modify in the plugin has fixed this, so I had to copy over the fix to the plugin, too. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

manuxx Topic Author	Thanks a lot! works perfectly. I noticed you change something in how the shipping names are displayed, could it be? Maybe you added more () ?? Regards Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I had to disallow any HTML in the rule names (i.e. all rule names are pure text), because people happily try things like

Name=Weight<1kg; Weight<1; Shipping=1

If the rule name is understood as HTML, the < indicates a HTML tag and the result will be invalid HTML...

Is this the change you are seeing (added in version 2.1.3)?

Hi

Was out of curiosity, we use one page checkout so we tried to make the length adapted to one line. These appeared in the same line in previous version so I was just wondering where was the change, cause I can't remember, we can just make the name shorter, just a styling doubt ;)

We use names these way, do they look correct for you?:

Name=Península, max 6kg; 01000<=ZIP<06999; Weight<6; Shipping=4.81
Name=Península, max 11kg; 01000<=ZIP<06999; 7<=Weight<11; Shipping=5.77
Name=Península, max 16kg; 01000<=ZIP<06999; 12<=Weight<16; Shipping=6.73
etc

Maybe this "(6,00 €)" is the thing that you didn't see before (which was a bug). Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

The problem with that bug was also that its results were legally questionable. In particular the e-commerce laws in Europe (based on the e-Commerce directive of the EU) clearly say that the costs of the products (and of course also the shipping costs) must be clearly and unambiguously displayed to the customer. If the shipping costs is not displayed with the shipping method, one can argue that this is violated (because the cost of the payment methods IS displayed with the payment methods) and you might end up in legal trouble if a customer refuses to pay (or even worse, a consumer protection agency sues you over it).
