Add column to order
 

Hello, I am using xcart 5.1.3.

I am trying to add a column to the order model as I want a checkbox at checkout to update it.

I have a module with the following code.



And I also have a install.yaml file like so:


My build gets stuck here:



1)How do I rebuild when my build get stuck like this??

2)Is there any problems with what I have done?

Thanks

Re: Add column to order
 

Could you please provide the error messages from the var/log folder in your installation?

Besides that, do I understand you correctly that you want to allow customers to say that they are going to have a tax-free order?

Thanks for the reply!

On checkout I wanted a customer to say they would like a Tax free order yes, but only do the tax deduction to certain products which admin have flagged as VatFreeAvailable(or possibly have certain attribute or class?).

The approach I was going to take was decorate the product and order models like so:

Product with $vatReliefable;
Order with $agreeToVatRelief;

Then possibly override the XLite\Module\CDev\VAT\Logic\Order\Modifier\Tax Calculate method. To say something like:


Then add a checkbox on the checkout which changes agreeToVatRelief to true/false and reloads the page.

Any input on if this is a viable/good idea, would be great!
Ill get back to you on my log files.

Thanks.

Could I get some feedback on this approach?

because my build goes into infinite maintenance mode 80% of the time and gets stuck on the step below(5.1.4) , and makes it almost impossible to do it via trail and error. Thanks

On my Linux Redhat box:

On my xxamp windows local:

Hi Deepvas!

Thank you for explaining it. This is really interesting task and I would be really interested in describing it thoroughly in our dev docs. Will it be OK with you if I can provide code sample in about a month?

As for cache regeneration, do you have any error messages in the <X-Cart 5>/var/log/ folder?

Tony.

Yes, that would be great and a even better learning experience, thank you.

I have rebuilt my Linux server and it's behaving better now thanks so should be ok(windows won't work however).

A real world example is here: Where you can see the text "VAT Relief is available if you make a declaration in the Shopping Basket", with a check-box at checkout.

Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
