Hello,

For the tax calculation, the most correct way would be to implement a new ITaxService. You can override the current TaxService implementation and then register your own component. Please take a look here for how to register a custom component.
http://docs.ucommerce.net/ucommerce/v6/extending-ucommerce/register-a-component.html

For the duplicated products for "ShowOnHomePage": Yes, you can "distinct" the products in HomepageCatalog.cshtml.

Kind regards,
Jesper

Hello Jasper

would you by any chance have the code on how to:

"For the duplicated products for "ShowOnHomePage": Yes, you can "distinct" the products in HomepageCatalog.cshtml"

?

thanks, Arlan

Hi Arlan,

I will try to go a bit more depth about "distinct" your products. Since you do not have posted your code for rendering the products I can only guess how you do and what you can do.

What you can do is using the Extension-method "Distinct" from LINQ (on your product array/list) to compare products and only get a product once. There is an example here how to create your own EqualityComparer which can be used with Distinct.

Hi Martin

here is the

code all code in  uCommerce/HomepageCatalog.cshtml file

@using UCommerce.Runtime

@{

    var products = SiteContext.Current.CatalogContext.CurrentCatalog.Categories.SelectMany(c => c.Products.Where(p => p.ProductProperties.Any(pp => pp.ProductDefinitionField.Name == "ShowOnHomepage" && Convert.ToBoolean(pp.Value))));

}
@uCommerce.Helpers.Product.DisplayListProducts(products, null)

i could use some help since i am not that good with c# 

Hi Arlan,

Sorry for a bit late answer. I have been quite busy. If you add this class to your solution:

public class DistinctBySku : IEqualityComparer<Product>
{
    public bool Equals(Product x, Product y)
    {
        if (x == null || y == null)
            return false;

        return x.Sku == y.Sku;
    }

    public int GetHashCode(Product product)
    {
        return product.Sku.GetHashCode();
    }
}

Then you should be able to distinct like this

            var products = SiteContext.Current
            .CatalogContext
            .CurrentCatalog
            .Categories
            .SelectMany(c => c.Products.Where(p => p.ProductProperties.Any(pp => pp.ProductDefinitionField.Name == "ShowOnHomepage" && Convert.ToBoolean(pp.Value))))
            .Distinct(new DistinctBySku());

I haven't tested it but it should work. My equlitycomparer looks at the Sku so if you want it for VariantSku you have to make a minor adjustment.

Best regards Martin

i get error

Hi Arlan,

It seems you're missing some namespace declaration in your HomePageCatalog.cshtml. Usually when I create classes for extensions/comparers etc. I create a new Visual Studio project inside my solution which contains all these classes to avoid bloating App_Code folder.

I have not tried to create a class the way you do it but I think it it is durable. Instead of using an *.cshtml file try to create a new file called DistinctBySku.cs and copy the code into this file.

Hi Martin

I dont know c#, for show on homepage we improvised and just created a category called "Featured" and had the products i wanted to be on that page checked under "Categories" tab. thanks for the help

Arlan

is working on a reply...
