Discounted flag affects shipping

Can someone just clarify the function of the discounted flag in attributes please?

I assumed this would only affect prices if a sale was set up but it appears not to be the case. I'm using price based zone rates and if the attribute pushes the order total into the next shipping range the attribute value is ignored in the shipping calculation if the flag isn't changed from its default value.

For example: zone rates are set as 50:10,150:7

Product 1 £48
Attribute gift wrap +£4.00

With the discounted flag set (ie default) on the attribute the shipping cost shows as £10 even if gift wrap is selected. If the flag is switched off then shipping calculates correctly.

It's not a problem now I know this is what happens but I'd just like to understand it better. :smile: v 1.2.6

Is anyone able to shed any light on this please?

Generally- if you do not recieve a response to a question, it is because you have not given enough information to make a diagnosis. Perhaps you could give us the URL and step by step what is happening or not happening?

Do you have an example of this Product?

How are you configuring the actual Attribute?

Thanks for the replies. Set up is as follows:

I have set up a product with a price of £48. Product is priced by attributes.

Product has an attribute 'gift wrap' with a price of £4.00

Shipping (zones) up to £50 is £10.00. Over £50 is £12.00. Therefore if the product is selected without gift wrap the shipping cost should be £10.00 and if gift wrap is selected then shipping should be £12.00

The gift wrap option name is set as a checkbox. I have one option value to go with it.

In the Attributes Controller if I leave the the discount flag at its default ie Yes then when I go to checkout and select gift wrap, although the price is shown correctly it has no affect on the shipping. If I change the attribute so that the discount flag is set to no then all is well.

My question therefore is whether this functionality is correct. My assumption was that the discount flag should have no effect unless a sale was set up. Is this assumption wrong?

I have not been able to repeat this error ...

Do you have an URL with this product?

What version of Zen Cart are you using?

That's a pity!! Tried it on 1.2.6 and 1.3 and is the same. Can I pm you url and login details?

You may PM me the details and link to this thread ... and when I have time I will look into it for you ...

Thanks Linda I have done. I appreciate your help.

Thanks Linda for taking a look. I've looked at 1.3 again and was wrong - it does work there (working too late - sorry!) so just an issue in 1.2.6. However, setting the discount flag to No has worked so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for your help.

This is going to be a huge problem with my client. We are running 1.2.7 because the template was designed for this version. Now, We are running a store-wide sale and the Table-Rate shipping is not working. Is there a way around this issue?

Could you be a bit more specific about what is not working on the Table Shipping Module?

How do you have it set up?

What does it appear to be doing wrong?

Has it ever worked?

What has changed on your site?

Here is my Table Rate

25:8.99,50:10.99,75:12.99,100:14.99,150:16.99,200:18.99,300:19.99,10000:20.99

I have US Flags and State Flags that are priced by their size (priced by attributes). I am running a store-wide sale so I need the

Apply Discounts Used
by Product Special/Sale

Selected as "Yes" in the attributes.

What is happening is that the only shipping charges that are showing up is $8.99. When I turn off the Apply Discounts.... It works fine.

I am running 1.2.7. After reading the Forums, I learned that this is not a problem with 1.3.6. I am very very hesitant to upgrading due to the many horror stories that I have read on this forum. I don't even believe that my template would be compatible.

This is a pretty new site, so I don't think it ever worked correctly.

What can I do to solve this issue? It is a very big problem for my client. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Have you an URL to a Product that you are experiencing this problem with?

NOTE: upgrading to v1.3.6 is a good idea ... :smile:

Here is a product

http://www.scoutingitout.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=278

Select the largest size and the shipping calculates at $8.99

I know that upgrading is a good idea, but will my template carry over to the new version?

That looks like a template monster template ...you are doomed ... :eek:

It will take quite a bit of work to re-do your template ... and from what we have seen even their v1.3.x templates are not very compatible ...

Be careful on that ...

On the Table rates ... you do have that marked for Price and not Weight correct?

Yep, it is a Template Monster template. Yes, these are price attributes, not weight. Again, by turning off that setting, it works just fine. I already started to change them. However, there are hundreds to change. I need to get that to work for my client.

Providing Template monster did not touch the core code ...

Switch to Classic Template ... does it work?

You could try this ...

Next, download v1.3.6 ...

rename your file:
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

/includes/modules/shipping/table.php_HIDE

Edit the file from v1.3.6
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

And change the line:

class table extends base {

To read:

class table {

Load that to your server ... does it work in both the Admin ... Modules ... Shipping ...

and on your checkout?

Does it fix this issue?

I received this error in the Admin...modules....shipping
