Taxes & Calculation Rules Apply to All Products rather than specific Catagories

[steved]

Hi there,

I am having issues when using the Tax calculation rules in Virtuemart Version 2.0.8e.

For the products in the 'commissions' category of the store I wish to show the full price on the product page, however only charge 50% at checkout. (As the customer only pays a deposit). I have gone about achieving this by applying a Tax Rule as follows:



However this applies to every item I add to my cart rather than Just items in the 'commissions' category.

For example - the item "Green Eyes" is in the 'prints' category



The item "Two Subjects" is in the 'commissions' category



However when they are added to the cart the discount is taken from both items rather than just "Two Subjects"



The issue also occurs when I Set the discount on an individual product rather than using the category feature.

I have tried the fix located at http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98178.0 but it did not work

Thank you for any help you can give

I have the exact same problem. Any solutions to this?

What I've found specifically for "Tax per Bill" is there is no Category check at all in the code

This fixes it on my install  - 2.0.18a

File - administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/calculationh.php
function gatherEffectingRulesForBill($entrypoint, $cartVendorId=1)

around line 986 -add after block

Code Select Expand

$hitsShopper = true;
if (isset($this->_shopperGroupId)) {
$hitsShopper = $this->testRulePartEffecting($shoppergrps, $this->_shopperGroupId);
}

Code Select Expand

//GJC - check category
$q = 'SELECT `virtuemart_category_id` FROM #__virtuemart_calc_categories WHERE `virtuemart_calc_id`="' . $rule["virtuemart_calc_id"] . '"';
$this->_db->setQuery($q);
$taxcategories = $this->_db->loadResultArray();
$hitsCats = true;
if (isset($this->_cats)) {
$hitsCats = $this->testRulePartEffecting($taxcategories, $this->_cats);

}
//GJC

then change line

if ($hitsDeliveryArea && $hitsShopper ) {

to

Code Select Expand

if ($hitsDeliveryArea && $hitsShopper && $hitsCats) {//fix for cat filtering GJC

works for me but haven't tested with country filters etc
