Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[lnewman]

Yes, I made it 299 and Tax is 300.

What do you get when you turn on debugging?

[lnewman]

I've attached the text. Was rather verbose ;)

[LadyHLG]

Sorry about the lengthy debug, its the only way to see how the cart is checking the taxes the, final posted version wont be so long, but for testing I left it in.

A couple of questions what zip code are you using to test with and how many actual local sales taxes do you have set up.
The number can be found on the local taxes admin page at the bottom left corner should look something like this..

Displaying 1 to 5 (of 5 local taxes).

For the benefit of NEW installs (i.e. not updates/upgrades) of this mod, I am including a .tgz file that, if you place in the store's root (aka 'catalog' or top-level directory) and perform a tar -zxvf, it will copy all necessary files in one step.

This can prevent problems of forgetting to copy one (or more) of the .php files nested in the various subdirectories (as happened to me).

Please note: this file is attached as a ZIP file, but it is not a zip file. You need to change its extension to .tgz or .tar.gz before attempting to ran 'tar -zxvf' on it.

LadyHLG, you are welcome to include this in your package (along with clear instructions as how to use it).

Here are the instructions how to use this file:

1. Copy local_sales_tax_mod_2.2.2.zip to your store's <catalog> directory (usually "store" or "shop").
2. Rename it to local_sales_tax_mod_2.2.2.tgz
3. Run (from the shell) the following command:
4. tar -zxvf local_sales_tax_mod_2.2.2.tgz
5. Delete the file local_sales_tax_mod_2.2.2.tgz

LadyHLG, if you want to generate this file for future versions, the way to do this from the command line is:

 cd LocalSalesTaxModv2.2/FullVersion/catalog
 tar --owner 0 --group 0 -zcvf local_sales_tax_mod_2.2.2.tgz *

I hope this will be helpful to others as much as it is helpful to me.

Where does the "suburb" field show up? In the customer profile? I'd like to use that option instead of the city or the zip code.

[LadyHLG]

The "suburb" field is actually the second address line I believe its labeled "Address Line 2:".

No worries.. I wish I wrote tracing logs that had that much detail ;)

i'm using 33139.

There are 63. I grabbed the FL Sales SQL file from:

That is what I needed. It's working well so far. Thanks!

[LadyHLG]

Well the mod matched the tax

We have a single-33139
Single value 33139 matches
Tax Class Sub Total = 0

But didn't return a taxable subtotal.

So the first thing to check is that the product you are testing with is actually assigned to your tax class.
