invalid vat number screen is a non-component url

Hi,
entering an invalid vat number in the "iframed" sbox-window returns a complete error page ( not only the component view) within this window.
How can I affect this? Or is something wrong with my template.

Cheers,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I didn't completely understood your problem can you explain it to me with for example some screenshots ?

Thanks .

I think Hans means that instead of a short message that the VAT ID number is not correct, a system message crops up as in the screenshot. Only noticed it today myself.

If that's not it, my apologies for hijacking the thread

That's the error message returned by the SOAP library.
Next version of HikaShop will have a soft fail for that and you won't see the error message anymore.
you can do it already by changing the code:
$this->message = $e->__toString();
$return = false;

to:
$this->message = $e->__toString();
return true;

in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/vat.php

Thank you very much for your help!

Now I'll really feel guilty, if Hans' issue was an entirely different one.

Hi,

unfortunately,I have not the same problem but I am always happy to help:-)
And a picture paints a thousand words.
