Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

I've seen a few posts about the local tax mod repeating the tax output, but I haven't found a solution in this thread. Forgive me if I've missed something.

I'm in NY, and installed the Local Tax mod as well as the sql table that has the NY local taxes by zip code. I have a state tax zone for NY set up at 4% tax and then the local taxes are added to that 4%.

In my test order I'm shipping to zip code 12419 in Ulster County NY. What seems to be happening is that the tax module is calculating zero tax UNTIL it finds a matching Ulster Co zip code, then keeps adding the tax until it runs out of zip codes. I've attached the rather lengthy debug that shows the shopping cart subtotal and total.

I've tried setting the tax display to combined and separate, it makes no difference.

The New York state zone has a priority of zero (should it be something different?)

I've also tried changing the order of the order total modules to no avail.

gwynwyffar and all,
There was a fix posted a while back to take care of the repeating taxes issue you can read through it here ->
http://learnwebtutorials.com/how-to-...ocal-sales-tax. Did you make those changes already?

PLEASE BE AWARE, depending on your tax structure this fix can cause other problems, especially if you have multiple tax classes.

I have been working on an update to the mod to help resolve all of these issues. I will try to get it posted tonight.

Yes I did attempt that fix, and then no local tax at all would show. I'll wait for your update, thanks so much for the response.

OK gwynwyffar,
Please try the update attached, just upload the new files to over write the current ones (only 2 of them).

Let me know what happens!
LadyHLG

I went into OT modules and removed the mod and then reactivated it after uploading the new files.

With debugging on, using 12419 as my test zip code and 12486 as store zip code, when I go to check out, after the shipping page, I get a white page with:

Taxing based on: Shipping
Taxing For Zone: 190
Local Store Tax For: 12486

and nothing more. It will not let me move forward with the checkout process.

With debug off, I just get a blank white page.

gwynwyffar,
Are you using the most current version of ZenCart?

LadyHLG

I'm using version 1.3.9h hosted on an Apache 2.2.19 server running PHP 5.3.6

I also tried the mod on a clean Zen Cart install, as my live install is slightly modded. The same thing happened on the clean install.

gwynwyffar,
I just sent you a PM.
LadyHLG

I would like to hear from anyone else who tries the update posted above. Please let me know if there are any problems.
I will give it a week or so and if I dont hear anything I will post it to the downloads.


LadyHLG

sorry to reask this if it has already been answered somewhere but it is hard to read through a billion pages of posts. is there a way to display the combined total of the taxes rather than each one seperate?
for example:
California Tax: $1.13
San Diego Tax: $.0.45

Becomes
Tax: $1.58

Thank you!
