Thats the standard test for oxalates:
Dissolve a bit of your test-substance in a few ml of water. Now add some calcium chloride soultion and a white precipitate will form. Then you have to filter of and dissolve the precipitate in dilute sulfuric acid. Add a dropp! KMnO4-solution. Start to warm up the solution. If the permangante colour disappears when the solution is getting hotter your substance contained Oxalate.
Testing for kations should be possible with flame colouration.
