SplitTaxLines mod support thread

[pdprenty]

MODERATOR NOTE: Zen Cart v1.3.9 includes built-in support for split tax lines. No addon required.

First let me say: Alan, thank you very much, I was hoping for this contribution. You have made my life easier.

I do have a conflict with one of the other modules though, maybe someone can help me out.

[FONT=Times New Roman]I have just installed alanhigg’s SplitTaxLines module. It works great, but another module that I installed now doesn’t work. The module is Customer Tax Exempt by Numinix Technology. It was working perfectly before, so I am not sure what the problem is.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]The admin is there, but the tax shows up on the order. (split very nicely too). I checked and there were no overlapping files so it may be something in the process. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]Any help would be appreciated,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Thanks Pat[/FONT]

Thanks again, Pat

I haven't looked at that module in a long time since there were no bug reports. You can contact my company through our website and I can work on it privately, but I do charge a rate. I am sure it's a simple fix though so you may be able to figure it out.

Hi Pat,
I have no experience with the customer tax exempt mod but I'll see if I can find some time this weekend to look at the issue for you. Thanks for the list of your other mods too, in case I have to go digging...

Has anyone installed this with the new 1.3.8 yet? I am dying to get my hands on this mod but now that I've just upgraded to get some 1.3.8 features, I'm hesitant to install this.

Thanks!

Hi All,
I have just uploaded v1.1 of SplitTaxLines so it should be available as soon as it passes review. It it designed for v1.3.8 of zen-cart and *will not work* with older carts.
For those interested, most of the changes in this version are due to updated tax functions in the core zen-cart distribution. I don't know whether this was intentional or not, but a new core function was added that encompasses all of the functionality (and more) included in the extra_functions that the old version of this mod defined. This seems like more than just coincidence, so I'd like to give a shout out to the zen-cart team on this.



to pdprenty: don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. Are you planning to move to zc1.3.8 in the near future? The reason I ask is that I have located the conflict between SplitTaxLines and CustomerTaxExempt and it is in a part of the mod that has been removed in v1.1. Unfortunately, STL and CTE have a new conflict in a different place under zc1.3.8 (in the core tax functions)

So, here's my suggestion:
for zc1.3.7.1, I can fix up STL v1.0 so that it plays nicely with CTE (I will try to do this anyway, over the next few days)
for zc1.3.8, I would say that numinix should probably make the appropriate changes since the code that needs modification is part of the zen-cart core. I could try, but I don't want to step on his toes. Chances are good that CTE will need some polishing for zc1.3.8 anyway. (numinix, please chime in here if you wish)



Questions? fire away!

mommydesigns,
please make sure that you have the new v1.1 of SplitTaxLines because, as you surmised, SplitTaxLines v1.0 will not work with zen-cart 1.3.8

SplitTaxLines v1.1 should be available for download soon (it has been submitted - just waiting for review) please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Thanks!
Alan
