Display price with VAT/TAX and Ex VAT/TAX

Hi - you helped me with a mod earlier and hopefully can provide a bit of guidance again.

Installed the latest version and love the inc/ex VAT sidebar.
My 2 problems are:

1. Changing the inc/ex button changes the displayed product price, but not the attribute price which always stays as set in the config/store settings. Any way to cause the attribute prices to alter as well?

2. Unless the sidebar agrees with the default setting, the shopping cart sidebar displays 0 as current order total.

Any help as always greatly appreciated.

Did you follow the instructions in the install.txt FAQ- Particularily > Q. Can I make all my prices show Including and Excluding Tax/VAT (eg Specials, Featured etc)?

Pretty sure it's all right. If it helps, my listing prices don't display both prices as per your example site.

Hi again.

Done a bit of fault-finding, but not sure what to make of it.

1. Set up a new, clean install of Zen on a local server (using MAMP on a Mac)
2. Set up 2 products
3. Installed only the inc/ex VAT module

Here's the results:

Display Prices With Tax = false, Sidebar set to 'ex VAT'
Product listing shows products without VAT, detail shows products without VAT, sidebar shopping cart shows totals. No problems.

Display Prices With Tax = false, Sidebar set to 'inc VAT'
Product listing shows products without VAT, detail shows products with VAT, sidebar shopping cart shows £0.00 totals

Display Prices With Tax = true, Sidebar set to 'ex VAT'
Product listing shows products with VAT, detail shows products without VAT, sidebar shopping cart shows totals with VAT, but marked 'Ex- VAT'

Display Prices With Tax = true, Sidebar set to 'inc VAT'
Product listing shows products with VAT, detail shows products with VAT, sidebar shopping cart shows £0.00 totals.

Any help, or am I missing something really basic?

Thanks in advance.

I have installed the module and gone through the two files but I have not found any changes. My product_info_display file is different but only because of additions and also parts of it are in different locations of the file.
Are you able to advise the additions that you have made?

The reason being is that the prices are not being displayed.

Thanks

Stephen

Hi All,

I've install the Vat / No vat patch, but the prices show PRICE_EX_TAX_TEXT and PRICE_INC_TAX_TEXT at the end of the prices.

See http://www.thecommscentre.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=6

I would imagine this is somthing with the languages not being picked up..

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

I am having little problem with VAT/TAX and Ex VAT/TAX, its driving me crazy:lamo: This is the case: for example when I add new product in admin panel, I add net price '100' and automatically gross price is calculated to '117' because I setup tax rate always 17%. All that works OK, but problem is that on my website(in front-end) I am seeing only price with VAT included but there is no price with VAT excluded.. I am note sure where did I go wrong?

Any help is appreciated.
Cheers:smile:

I have send you link on pm, hope this helps

as I mentioned on example link you will see "54.00 EUR VAT included" ("54.00KM sa PDV") but there should be also "46.15 EUR VAT excluded" beacuse tax rate (VAT) is 17% which is unfortunatly not visible at all and that part is giving me troubles:dontgetit

Andrew, Well Done!
Thanks for your fantastic work. It has taken me months of will I - won't I - before deciding to implement your module. I was pretty nervous because I'm pretty weak on the whole customisation of the code and I didn't want to wreak my site.
But I finally jumped in the deep end and installed your module and hey presto! it Worked and I'm delighted!
I hated not having the VAT displayed as I think it puts customers off when they reaalise that the price is actually more than stated.

Now all I have to work out is:

How to update to 1.3.8, I'm still on .7, but at least I have implemented the security patches and renamed the admin folder etc. I am terrified of updating as I haven't set up any custom folders, (I did try but they didn't work), and if I do update I think my website is going to disappear!

I also need to figure out how to change the width of my site as it's too narrow, I've spent hours edit the different stylesheets and I can't get it to stretch:

http://www.cctvireland.ie/catalog/index.php

I don't know how to delete the original top banner picture, as it hide under my banner.

(I've bought the book but I can't make head nor tails of it )

What I'm really trying to say is that I am amazed at how much time you have spent to explain your module to panicky people when they couldn't get it working properly and you deserve a clap on the back.

And one day on the way to work you just may be bundled into the back of a blacked-out car and hidden in my basement in front of a computer until you sory out my site, ( I might even feed you). So keep an eye out for a dark car acting suspiciously near the Mad Cow roundabout.

Just kidding, of course, but Zencart has totally and endlessly frustrated and stumped me on every occassion and judging by the forums there are a lot of very confused people trying to get Zencart to work the way they want. (Zencart is fantastic, but configuring it is a killer, and I'm not a total novice), and getting your module to work has given me hope!

So, once again----- THANKS!! :clap: :clap:

Thanks for the feedback.

Change the width of the #mainWrapper element- It's on line 186 of includes/templates/YOUR CUSTOM FOLDER/css/stylesheet.css

Same file- delete the background image in the #logoWrapper element: Just delete the line that says:

background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg);

And thanks for the heads-up; I'll stay away from the Mad Cow Roundabout.

Hi,

I just installed this mod... Love the idea but i cant get it to work right.. and i dont know where i have gone wrong.

downloaded the file,
Renamed all 'custom' folders to my template name
Uploaded
Ran MySQL Patch, no errors returned.

my problems are:
a) there is no sign of the new side box in Admin>Tools>Layout Boxes Controller

b) in Admin>Configuration>My Store>
change the Display Prices with Tax setting only partially works

i.e.
False = £10 Ex VAT (correct)
True = £10 Ex VAT (Wrong)
inc/ex = £10.00 Inc VAT & £11.75 Ex VAT (wrong way around)
ex/inc = £10.00 Ex VAT & £11.75 Inc VAT (correct)

what am i doing wrong?
All help welcome (and needed asap)

p.s. clean install, no other mods, 1.3.8a

Hi... problems solved by using the download from your site rather than from Zen Cart's download area.

i.e. using this http://www.omnicia.com/Zencart%20Inc...x%20Module.zip rather than http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=848
(this isnt a dig, but who ever keeps that section up to date needs to amend this)

howver i still have one small problem..

False = £10 Ex VAT (correct)
True = £10 Ex VAT (Wrong)
inc/ex = £10.00 Inc VAT & £11.75 Ex VAT (correct)
ex/inc = £10.00 Ex VAT & £11.75 Inc VAT (correct)

its not a major problem.... just thought i would share to see if this is unique to me or everyone..

Cheer...
excellent mod btw!

"Not available!"

what am i doing worng?lol

That appears if you set the mod to display both prices instead of just the Inc or Ex value.

:blush:

Well, i have always said i am not the sharpest tool in the box

LOL, :oops:
