Tax text?

[jodes]

Hi,

 

my tax is working but i can't seem to get it to display the text - at the moment it looks like

 

 

:0.46

 

Should look like

 

TAX: 0.46

 

I've looked in the several of the language files where it refers to tax and none of them are blank.

 

If anyone can suggest where else i can look or know how to fix the problem that would be great .

 

Thanks

Jodes

Hi i am having the same difficulties here. It won?t display the Text before the : . And it also doesn?t add shipping costs, although i have enabled that to be shown in the Order_Total configuration within the admin webinterface. I am currently trying to crawl through the code of checkout_payment.php, but with my very limited knowledge of html and php i can?t really make out what goes on "under the hood". I have thus far identified the line where the order_total_module is called which should be :

</table></td>

<td width="70%" valign="top" align="right"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<?php

if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_INSTALLED) {

$order_total_modules->process();

echo $order_total_modules->output();

}

?>

</table></td>

as I understand it the variable $order_total_modules gets its values through the function process() which is defined in /includes/classes/order_total.php. This is where i am at the moment at analysing that problem for me. As I already said i am not very good in PHP or HTML especially when it comes to classes and object oriented programming. So I am having a really hard time deciphering where the problem might be.

Hi Art,

 

I found that my problems was to do with the making sure that you actually type text in the "description" part of the tax module.

 

So under locations/taxes make sure you have set your tax type (eg. mine is GST)

 

Tax class title:

GST

 

Description;

Goods and services tax

 

Then go into Tax rates add a new tax rate

Select the tax you set up (above) from the dropdown menu on the right

 

Choose zone

 

And the important part - enter your description

 

I set my priority to 0 because i only have one tax.

 

Sorry i don't know about the shipping costs not adding. The only way i seem to be find out things is searching through hundreds of pages in the forum (i have a lot of things i'm not sure about so its taken me forever!)

 

Good luck
