Local Sales Tax Mod - Support Thread

How do I make actual tax % show up upon check out? It calculates everything correctly, but I'd like it to show tax rate to the customer as well.

If everything is installed and configured, than this information will be displayed during checkout on step 2 of 3 in the order totals block.
Do you see anything in this area for the tax rates?

Hello Zenners :)
I was hoping someone can help me here or lead me to a page where the solution might be located.

I have installed this module and it works perfectly, except the local tax is not defined as to what the price is on the 'order total'

I have defined that the local tax be 8%.
I buy $100 worth of stuff and the local sales tax is calculated to be $8.

Great so far, however, (as depicted in the photo) there is nothing that let's the user know what the $8 is they are being charged.
How can I define it to be 'Local Sales Tax' instead of the blank that appears there? I'm really a novice here trying to learn to be a zenner



Any help would be highly appreciated. thanks

Looks like you're missing a language define. Check your install for a missing file.

Thanks for the reply. But I reinstalled everything again, however I am having no luck.
How do I check for missing install files, btw?

it seems like it is defined, but not working?

languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_local_sales_taxes.php

define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUNTY_LOCAL_TAX_TITLE', 'Local Sales Tax');
define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUNTY_LOCAL_TAX_DESCRIPTION', 'County/State Local Sales Taxes');
define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUNTY_LOCAL_SALES_TAX', 'Sales Tax:');

Since there doesn't seem to be any support happening here, I've taken matters into my own hands (a dangerous thing) and hacked three files to support a rather odd but usable method to deal with handling local taxes using the existing "built-in" tax module. If anyone is interested in what I did, send me a message and I'll try to explain it.

I can certainly make the change necessary to force the recalculation of tax if given some guidance. This is a really big problem for my site and I really need to get a solution soon.

Thanks in advance for any help!

It Looks like you did not completely setup the "Location / Taxes" selections, the information you point to is from these entries, see attached images.

The overall "Tax Rates" Description field is used on the form where you point.


If you need to setup "Local Sales Taxes" this next image may help, again the Tax Description field will show on the form in the area you point.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) Simple solution: I didn't add the Tax Description...lol
