Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[zcnb]

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.
