I'm seeing no tax-description on checkout

Hi,

I've encountered a "bug", when you're checking out (v 1.3.6) in step 2/3 and 3/3 you get a Total view of everything like this:

Sub-Total:

  €0,00
 Store Pickup (Walk In):


  €170,81
 :


  €1.069,81

but, as you can see with " €170,81" there is no text shown, it should say "Tax"... I tried to solve it myself, but in the language pack etc I couldnt see a fault. I have to say that Im no php-genious, I just tried to find some words I saw on that page and according to that I did my "research"...
How can this be solved?

greetings

Re: I'm seeing no tax-description on checkout

Describing what you see on a page using just text is rather futile. Can you upload a screenshot of just the offending area?

Re: I'm seeing no tax-description on checkout

When you created your tax rates, what did you enter for a description? If you leave it blank, you'll see ...well ... blanks...

Re: I'm seeing no tax-description on checkout

I have the occasional moment of brilliance ... in this case I just spotted an anomaly that I'd run into once before :)

Re: I'm seeing no tax-description on checkout

What about a multilingual shop??

I figured it was to take it's value from

define('MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_TAX_TITLE', 'Tax');

in the file:

includes\languages\english\modules\order_total\ot _tax.php

I'm not a coder, I just want to run a webshop.

I am right there with you. First I deleted the tx class before the I deleted the rate. ouch. Had to do some database repairs. Good thing it is small right now.

After I added the taxes back i did so w/o the descriptions. At least I found the post.

I have this similar problem. I don't have a tax rate for out of state sales, so I have no place for a description. I just get the :$00. I posted the question here:

I know this is an old thread... but given the amount of space in the header, and detail line - could the 'name' be put up on the detail line as well? This would allow us to spot a blank fairly quickly...

Just an idea.

Thanks.

Ya, that's something that's been added to the v2.0 edition currently in development, along with warnings if a blank value is found or is attempted.
