Showing price with and without tax

[raymasa]

Hi all,

Is it possible to display two different prices for a product, one with tax and the other without? I know in the configure store I can select to either show the price with and without, but what if I want to show both prices for the product? For example, show both of the following for each product:

9.95 (without tax)
10.70 (with tax)


Thanks,

Ray

Displaying more than one price at a time is not a built-in feature of Zen Cart at the present time.

If you wanted to code it yourself, I just noted that there are 1807 references to "price" in the code, and 994 references to "tax". Might be an all-nighter...

Ah, bummer.....well, I will try and deal with one price...:).

Thanks for your help.

Right
There is a way to code this into currencies (probably not the cleanest way but it works)

OK here's what to do

Set up Zen cart to (Display Prices with Tax = false)

Then

Change the order totals to

Shipping to 200
Subtotal to 300
VAT to 400
Total to 500

Then open \includes\classes\currencies.php
look for around line 71

 function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
      return $this->format(zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax) * $quantity);
    }
  } 

change to

 function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
  return $this->format ($products_price * $quantity) . '&nbsp;ex. <img border="0" src="images/pixel_trans.gif" width="2%" height="1"><span class="incvat">' . $this->format (zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax)* 1.175* $quantity) . ' inc.' . '</span>';
return $return_this;
      }
    } 

then open
\includes\modules\order_total\ot_subtotal.php

look for around line 35

    function process() {
      global $order, $currencies;
      $this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
                              'text' => $currencies->format($order->info['subtotal'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                              'value' => $order->info['subtotal']);
    } 

change to

 function process() {
      global $order, $currencies;
      $this->output[] = array('title' => $this->title . ':',
                              'text' => $currencies->format($order->info['subtotal']+$order->info['shipping_cost'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                              'value' => $order->info['subtotal']);
    } 

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU BACKUP BEFORE CHANGING ANY OF THE FILES

Hope this helps

thats a good fix and almost solves my problems too, thanks for kicking me down the correct path :) prob is... now every product has vat applied to it and not all of my shop items are taxable

Any ideas how

function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
  return $this->format ($products_price * $quantity) . '&nbsp;ex. <img border="0" src="images/pixel_trans.gif" width="2%" height="1"><span class="incvat">' . $this->format (zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax)* 1.175* $quantity) . ' inc.' . '</span>';
return $return_this;
      }
    } 

Can have a test statement in it to see whether the product has a tax class or not?

Thanks

Hi Dave71,

Awesome, thanks for the solution. I will give that a try on my install.

G'day,

I haven't tackled displaying the ex and inc tax prices to shoppers as I don't need that feature.

However, I was annoyed that the admin product preview page didn't show both prices and coded a fix for that. See http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48921

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Is this what you're after ... www.fastlec.co.uk ?

Try this......

function display_price($products_price, $products_tax, $quantity = 1) {
if ($products_tax ='ENTER TAX CLASS ID HERE FOR NON TAXABLE ITEM THIS IS A NUMBER'){
 return $this->format ($products_price * $quantity) . '  No Tax'; 
 }else{
  return $this->format ($products_price * $quantity) . '&nbsp;ex. <img border="0" src="images/pixel_trans.gif" width="2%" height="1"><span class="incvat">' . $this->format (zen_add_tax($products_price, $products_tax)* 1.175* $quantity) . ' inc.' . '</span>';
return $return_this;
      }
    }  
} 

As above (obviously changing the text No tax, to what is appropriate) should do what you want it to (Changing the tax class to a number which corresponds to a non taxable ID)

Let me know how you get on

thanks for the reply mate... added that code and tested.

It seems to ignore the if statement and just does the first oart for every product, so it shows every product as being tax free!

Is $products_tax defined somewhere or should I redeclare it again in that page?
