Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

Thanks Jacob.v4ll

Was unaware of Taxcloud support thread. Will check it out. Hopefully some of the fixes we worked out are included in the update.

Returning this forum back to Local Sales Tax Mod support

Running LTM 2.5 on 1.3.9h. I have successfully installed and used LTM on other sites with no issues. I am using a custom template with no other 3rd party modules.

On checkout, it seems that all possible taxes are being applied rather than just the correct one for zipcode.

Code:

---

Taxing based on: Shipping
Taxing For Zone: 26
Local Tax For: 67601
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.1575
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.17875
Total Tax =


Tax on shipping: 0.145
Total Tax =

That goes on for several dozen lines in the debug text. The same thing repeats in the actual invoice. The Sales: $1.13 thing following this repeats just as long, and the end cost being over $800 for a $15 item.

Code:

---

$1.13
Sales:

$1.13
Sales:

$832.74

I can supply more info if needed along with a link to the site.

Nevermind, got it working. Didn't seem like this fix applied to me on my first skim but it worked it out:

I have just followed the instructions and installed the Local Sales Tax Mod. However after installing I do not see the option I expect under Locations/Taxes => Local Taxes in the Admin interface. Please see the attached screen grab local_tax_screen.jpg. How would it be best to debug this issue?

Zencart is at 1.3.9f

Local Tax Mod is 2.5

Thanks Martin

Never mind!
I figured it out.
The admin dir had been renamed so the code that should have been installed had not really been installed.

LadyG, are you feeling confident about the newest zip you posted? I see that you haven't uploaded it yet to the contribs section.

I'm presently working on a site that after upgrading from 1.3.9d to h, the local sales tax mod stopped working. Looks like they were using your 2.5.1 version.

My assigned task is to figure out why.

I'm having the same issue - what did you do to make it work?? - my admin directory is renamed like everyone elses - but I don't see anywhere to modify the code that applies to the admin directory

Thanks

I installed Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h, my host is ipage.com, I am using php v5. I am having a lot of trouble installing the local sales tax mod. Basically it has some folders to upload, so I did that using filezilla. Specifically, I uploaded the "includes" and the "admin" folder to the "zencart" folder. I installed the sql patch. I was able to copy and paste the text and I put a semicolon at the end of it and Zen Cart took it. In the Zen Cart admin page I go to "modules -> order total" and a module called "local sales taxes" shows up, and I installed it. The problem is, when I go to "locations/taxes" there's supposed to be a menu item called "local sales taxes" for me to edit, but there's no "local sales taxes." I've tried everything I can think of, reinstalling the sql patch, I tried installing different versions of the local sales tax mod, (versions 2.5, 2.4, 2.2 and 2.0a), and completely removing the zen cart folder and reinstalling zen cart. Nothing I try will give me that "local sales taxes" category. I've spent so much time on it and it's extremely frustrating. I configured everything else about Zen Cart the way I want it, but I can't for the life of me get this mod working. Please help.

P.S.: I also tried installing the "state sales tax lookup addon" that uses taxcloud and it has the same problem, when I go to "modules -> order total" there are taxcloud modules to install, but there are no new menu items under "locations/taxes." I don't know what the issue is.

Hello,

A client just sent me this question. Wondering if anyone else knows how to fix it?

"Also, another issue we noticed today was that the email that was sent to a customer that ordered a product did not have the sales tax included on the email. It was correct in the admin area and I’m sure when the person checked out it was correct but the emailed total was not. Do you know if we need to change anything else to get the correct total in the email?"

Will Local Sales Tax Mod v2.5 work with Zencart 1.5?
