Buy one get one free, tax calculation problem

Dear members,

I encounter a problem after installing the plugin 'Buy one get one free'
I installed it in a testversion of my online store and the problem is that the tax rate isn't calculating correctly.
When the products you want to sell f.e. buy 4 get 1 for free, the program calculates 4 times the price, then it substracts 1 time the price. Ok so far
But then comes the tax calculation. And here it calculates the tax on the subtotal ( 4 * price).

See this example.
Anyone knows how to adjust this?

Many thanks.

on the admin -> modules -> order-totals -> ot_bogo is the configuration for this module. there is a tax_class there. is that set to the same tax class as for your products?

it seems that this should be a configuration that is not correct for the module.

good luck!

Maybe I have another plugin installed. I couldn't adjust the tax rate. Only sort order.

i'm not sure why that is not there. you need to check the value of:

MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_BOGO_TAX_CLASS

you can also get there with this URL:

https://yoursite.com/YOUR_ADMIN/configuration.php?gID=6

although there are quite of few other values there, that you do not want to alter.

you want to find that configuration value and ensure that its tax class is set to the same tax class as your products.

in addition, it looks like if you have NOT logged in, it will not deduct the tax from the discount. there needs to be a customer_id in the SESSION else it will not subtract the discount.

i have not installed this module, from the code that is what it looks like; and it looks like it should work.

good luck!

It's a lot simpler and safer to use the Admin->Tools->Developers Tool Kit and just paste MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_BOGO_TAX_CLASS into the first input field.

Hello to you all and thanks for replying on my problem.

This value isn't there yet: MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_BOGO_TAX_CLASS. But there are two plugins available on the zen cart website for 'BOGO'
One called Buy1get1free. In this one you can enter how many articles you want to sell and how many the costumer get's for free at the bottom of the article adjustment page. This is the plugin I'm using at this moment because is easy to use, but it's without the tax rate :(.
The other plugin, I think the one carlwhat is referring is the one called BOGO and here you can enter tax rates in the admin -> Modules -> order total but here I have to give on entire category and not only one product and that's a bit of a gap for me I think.
What I'm trying to do is to change the code of the plugin I'm using that the value of the discount is the value tax included. So then you get subtotal - discount ( tax included ) + shipping + tax ( from subtotal) = total price.

Maybe just for explaining even more:

I'm not familiar with the module you're using.
But it might be worth reading here: http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_bogo_bonanza.html ... several of his Zen Cart plugins are also in the Zen Cart downloads area and have support threads here on these forums.

if($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg'] > 0){
$this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
'text' => '-' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']+$order->info['tax'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
'value' => $_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']);

This is what I have added in the code and here lies the solution for my problem I think.
Just that now the free articles are have the entire tax extra and not for just the amount of articles that are free.
Anyone knows a solution to that?

Problem solved
Afterward you always would hit your one head.

'text' => '-' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']+COLOR=#008000[/COLOR], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
'value' => $_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']);

In my case there is a tax rate off 6% for all my products (for now...)
So I have added this amount of tax 'manually'.

On the surface that appears to address what is seen, but when charged, is the correct amount "taken"? I'm also not familiar with the plugin, but the above code change appears to only address one output characteristic and wouldn't want you to be surprised to be charged more than displayed.

Tax is usually done by using zen_add_tax() and passing the relevant tax rates, and then passing that result to the currency->format().

Looks like this particular BOGO module wasn't written with tax in mind?

Dear DrByte,

It's seem that this module isn't write with tax in mind indeed. But for now it works fine the way I have changed the program code.

It looks like this:

function process() {
global $order, $currencies;
$order->info['total'] = $order->info['total'] - $_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']-($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']*0.06);

      if($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg'] > 0){
          $this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
                              'text' => '-' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']+($_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']*0.06), true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                              'value' => $_SESSION['cost_minimize_agg']);
