Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

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?

[SPembleton]

I have a test store and database set up, so I backed everything up and tried to install v2.5 on ZenCart v1.5. Local Sales Tax shows up under the Order Total module, but it does not show up under the Locations/Taxes tab. Should I assume that v2.5 does NOT work with ZenCart 1.5?

Here's the 2012 Florida discretionary tax rates by zipcode. Changes for 2012:

Alachua is now 6%, so the entire 6.25% bracket can be deleted! Go Gators!!

Liberty changed from 7% to 7.5%

Martin and Seminole county dropped to 6%

I am new to Zen Cart, I came to it based on the need to find a local sales tax solution, which brought me here. I've installed zen cart 1.5 and attempted to install this local sales tax mod, but at the point where I'm uploading the sql file, I get a 'failed' error message at the top and nothing else.

Does this not work with 1.5? If not, will it sometime soon?

I appreciate anyone's time to respond.
