[SOLVED] Taxes and calculation rules (field Category)

[lostmail]

It seems that the category field in taxes and calculation rules does not work.

The rule "Discount 5% for ladies" which should take affect for the category "Lady" seems not to work.

When you put it in the basket there is no Discount calculated.

I found it in my shop and in the demo shop, too...field Category in taxes and rules seems to hve no function/disfunction

..and if you check the rules calculation....please check checkout cart, too for the rules.
It is looking strange:

Which version do you mean?

[lostmail]

Version 3.4.2...See the vm Demo Page,too.

[GJC Web Design]

latest stable is now VM3.6.0 -- but all normal warnings about updating apply of course

[lostmail]

Im on 3.60 now but the Problem still exists.
If i Set a rule especially for a category all products have now
This price update but the are not asigned to that category.

In vm Demo this rule takes no effect for the products asigned for a category...

Very strange...

[lostmail]

Now in VM Demo there is no product configured with TaxBeforeBill or TaxAfterBill and I can not find a Product rule which is assigned to a category.

Why that ? Because it does not work

Please check that calculation rule for categories as I think it is buggy...

The rule does not work in demo as you can see here:
http://demo.virtuemart.net/wear/lady
No product has a discount of 5%

[lostmail]

In installed a completely new VM 3.6 System with no modifications or overrides etc..

Created 2 Categories and 2 Products + 2 calculation rules.

One of the product is assigned to Category "BULK PRODUCTS" and this category is defined in one of the calculation rules.

I take the product in cart where the rule NOT should take affect (as the product is only in the category assigned which has no additional calculation rule) - but it does !!

[lostmail]

...and another strange thing:
I have nothing in the cart but the calculation rule is still visible...

[lostmail]

After update to VM 3.6.2.10159 the calculation rule is now working but in Cart view the tax for the rule is not visible in the line.
Please check image attached.

[lostmail]

Hm - no -still not working.
I have 1 product in cart which is not assigned to the category where the rule is assigned for and the discount is still present in cart...

When I have NOTHING in Cart the rule is visible

Perhaps there is still something wrong with the calculation rule.
When I open the rule I see () behind the rule name...perhaps an error ?

VirtueMart 3.6.8 10197 - Rules and Calculation BUG is still alive..(Joomla and VM are Default - no additional Templates/Hacks...)

[Milbo]

Thank you for your good bug report.

I tested it before always with a percentage and that seemed to work. But did not test your use case (nice one, btw).

[Milbo]

I tested a lot different cases. Also the "mixed" type,.. Vat per product, but discount per Bill, both works in my case per category.

also when I have two products in the cart, when I use a discount with percentage, it discounts only the product in the category. Hmm.

[lostmail]

Hm - very strange...
Send you a link to the testpage

Perhaps you have a differnt file Version from the package in your Test environment ?

Joomla! 3.9.13 Virtuemart 3.6.8.10197 php 7.3.12

Just made a quick test with + 5,00 EUR for a category - also tested with a mix of calc rules - calculation in cart is working fine but lostmail is right the +5,00 EUR calc rule stay in cart even after clear cache and browser - had to disable calc rule to get rid of it.

Edit: actually all calc rules "per bill" stay in cart if the rule is available for the shopper group you login as a member off..
