It works now. When the store will be closed for maintenance, the store administrator will be able to access to the Customer Zone in the same browser (in the same browser's session).

It's not a bug The mini cart shows the number of items! When you enter in the normal cart you see the same situation.

(you can, of course, click back, but who knows if that breaks something, or if users will comprehend that). You want to be able to keep users at your store and able to browse without confusing them or losing them.

Yes, thank you for pointing out this problem.

Pardon? What do you mean bad VAT shipping error/inconsistancy?

We will never agree on this one. I think its a bug you think its a feature. I know it is working to specification, I just do not agree with the specification.

To expand if I order 1 of item A and 2 of item B then personnaly I expect the mini cart to say 3 items ordered whilst you would say it is 2 items ordered.

If you use the default VAT settings then shipping is set to VAT at 17.5 %

When you set prices then the shipping is excluding VAT just like the product. So say you have a product price of бё85 (ex VAT) and a shipping of 8.50(Ex VAT) then the checkout says

Product бё100
Shipping бё8.50
VAT (included) бё16.50
Total бё110

So it displays the shipping EX VAT and everything else including VAT. It looks wrong.

If however you set the VAT rate on shipping to zero you get

Product бё100
Shipping бё8.50
VAT бё15
Total бё108.50

I can get away with this as I use the Post office and stamps are VAT exempt.

3rd bug, lost all pictures in one category. Strange the way the whole screen blanked and then refreshed and all pictures were gone. I'm going to drop all th eproducts and then put them all back and see what happens. I'll put them in the database this time.

You can setup tax options in such a way as you want. See my attachement
