Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

[Tesla]

This WORKS! I need to test it more but wanted to thank you again for saving our collective behinds! If you ever need any electrical engineering, please let me pay you back. For others, make sure you edit this in version 2.4 of ...\ot_local_sales_taxes.php ....Tesla

Tesla,
I haven't had time to test this, but you can give it a try.
Open the following file:
includes\modules\order_total\ot_local_sales_taxes.php

at about line 170 look for the following:
$debug2 .= $myfield."<br>";

right above that line place the following code:

if($taxmatch == "postcode"){
$myfield = substr($myfield, 0, 5); 
} 

See if it does the trick.

Thanks LadyHLG.
When I try moving the files from the "catalog" folder (admin and includes) to the shop folder I get the message: "The directory "admin" already exists. Would you like to replace it? Overwriting a directory will replace all files contained in it with the new directory contents."

The folders already located in the shop folder have a lot of files and folders in them (admin has 80 and includes has 28). The ones I am moving have (admin 2 and includes 3).

I'm kind of an ameteur here, so please reconfirm that I should replace the current directories.

distinctivedog,
I would say you have two options.
1. Backup all the files and folders somewhere and then go ahead and upload the mod, if for some reason it removes all the existing files (normally FTP does not do this) then you can restore from the backup.
or
2. Upload the files and folders (new ones) individually.

Good Luck

Thanks. Glad I backed up. It did indeed overwrite. I replaced the original files and added the files from the mod. Seems to be installed. Thanks for the help.

The attached zip contains a plain text file with a current list of 2010 Florida county surtax rates broken down by zipcode. It's already formatted for use with the Local Sales Tax Mod.

-The list is current until the end of 2010.

-Changes from 2009? Only one: Marion county changed from 6.5% to 6.0%, so the Marion county zipcodes have been removed from the list.

Please Note:

-Florida counties and zipcodes aren't contiguous; i.e., hundreds of zipcodes span 2 or even 3 counties. In these instances, the list assigns the zipcode to the county containing the greater population (for that zipcode). If a buyer says they've been charged an incorrect surtax, don't assume they're wrong; do a little investigating with google maps.
