Different thing depending on what checkbox is selected

[Boy_Wonder]

Okay so I hit a stumbling block to start with for the taxes code I'm working on, which is the set up of taxes. One of the required fields is if someone wants to use the Simple (Everyone pays one lump sum of taxes) or Advanced (This is banded).

I've tried this:


var taxesPlug = pb.plugin.get('monetary_Taxes');

/*var date = Code to check date here*/

if (taxesPlug.settings.simple_or_advanced === Simple) {

console.log = "You have selected simple";

   }

else {

   console.log = "You have selected Advanced mode";

}
However its throwing this error: Uncaught ReferenceError: Simple is not defined

You are referencing a variable called "simple" in your if condition, that variable is not defined in your script, so that's why it is moaning.

What are the possible values of "simple_or_advanced"? I'm going to assume "simple" or "advanced", if so, then it needs to be a string.


if(taxesPlug.settings.simple_or_advanced === "Simple"){
console.log("Simple");
} else {
console.log("Advanced");
}

Yes you have Simple or Advanced literally - I did suspect it'd be something simple like that XD (I'm not normally this dense honest XD))

Boy_Wonder,

We have all been there, so don't worry

[Boy_Wonder]

I should know better than to write code half asleep mind XD
-going on a hunt for a way to check if its a new day/new week/new month/new year now trying to work out if that would be worth using a variable for each option as well to keep things neat..ish

Maybe have a look over the wages codes for the Monetary System, it may help you help in that area...
