Ah, ok.

It's just that I'm trying to get the total displayed with VAT added in on this module. I just can't work out how it's done!


Thanks for your help anyway

I haven't tested this yet and it may not work for downloadable or virtual products.

In includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

Find:

$sric_total = $cartSricTotal + $sric_shipping_simple; 

Directly below it, add these two lines:

$vat = ($sric_total / 100) * 15;
$sric_total = $sric_total + $vat;

Hey steven, thanks for the reply.

I was considering heading that direction (manually working out the VAT deduction) but it causes some issues.

If I implement that code, the total displayed on the mod differs from the total displayed in the cart, by a penny.

For example, the order I'm testing right now, the mod displays it like - Total: £35.08, but the Zen shopping cart displays it like Total: £35.07

I'm guessing ZC uses a different method of rounding up the sum.

Thanks though!

RIGHT, I've sorted it.

It turns out that PHP5 (which we run locally) rounds up numbers slightly different to PHP4 (which we run on our shared servers).

So essentially, your way worked fine, but only in PHP4. In PHP5, it misses a penny out.

Thanks for your help, this has been an immensely helpful module

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class shipping in /store/includes/classes/shipping.php on line 178
