JeanLuc Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 yes,but to exclude non EU countries from thes rules I have to sett some tax zones, tax classes and tax rates isn'it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You don't have to deal with EU countries for these rules: If the company HAVE a VAT number ("the billing tva_intracom field is not NULL"), it means it is a european company...

Guest Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 I like to install this contribution: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1848 However I see a lot of possible downloads and a lot of comments. Please before I have to read all pages in this thread or in the downloads, pls. inform me: A/ which is the last full version I should use. B/ which is the last update gloing with that last version Or is this the last and complete version incl. all updates? <quote> 5 Nov 2004 - Update E.U. VAT Intracom Number 4.2 Author: Update E.U. VAT Intracom Number 4.2 </> Is the text visible in the update dated 5 nov included in the readme or does that replace parts of the existing readme?

Crazypilot Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 O.K. that's the latest version and after removing some // it's working now. John <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, Interesting thread. I am about of setting up a webshop for both b2b and b2c. However I am new to both php and Osc. As I understand the latest version should have it all, but still I must update a lot of files myself? correct? Alas, having problem even with finding the php.ini file in the beginning of intruction text. Sorry for asking "newbie" questions. Anywhere for a more newbie friendly install text? Any suggestions for a good ftp program to edit the files, prefferably with line count and "text" finder? tnx Stubborn Newbie

If you want to install OSCommerce locally, use XAMPP. It self-installs MySQL, PHP etc. You can download it from http://www.apachefriends.de Webhosts don't want you to modify the php.ini. If you want a really good editor, use the free "Weaverslave". It does all you ask (and more!) Download it here: http://www.das-download-archiv.de/download_file39.html To ftp I use the free SmartFTP http://www.smartftp.com/ With OSCommerce you will have to manually insert most Contributions. All of them are well-documented or you can just replace the files.
Crazypilot Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Thanks for quick answer, however what do you mean by: Webhosts don't want you to modify the php.ini.? I am trying Ipower hosting account and I can't even find the php.ini on the server. Do you mean it's a hidden file that Ipower themselves have to change? I will try out the other links you gave. Best regards Cp

I will come back to you more experienced guys when I have learned a bit more. Regards and keep up the good work! Cp
Crazypilot Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Ok, finally getting where I want to. I bow to the makers of this contribution. Thank you JeanLuc + others for this masterpiece. Now only small corrections on my site has to be made. I've noticed that a registered non EU customer gets the shown prices without VAT. Is it possible also for registered EU companies to get the prices shown without VAT, and not only the VAT deducted from the order total/receipt? Still newbie but getting better! Regards Cp

Regards Cp <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not "in the air" because the VAT is depending not only on the customer account but also on the shipping address which is validated only on checkout process... So when a customer visits the shop, we don't know yet if he will benefit from not having taxes... JeanLuc OsC: MS2

fixion Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Seems to be a bug in the contribution :( When giving a CVRnr. which Intracom says is valid (I tried SE111111111111 and it didn't take it) it says OK, but VAT is still added on the next page :( I remember testing it with a DE VAT nr. (with my shop based in Denmark) and it did not charge VAT as it shouldn't. I unfortunately can't confirm this, as I can't find a valid german VAT nr. again :( Anyone have a German VATnr I can test with, to verify it still works for Germany (or to verify it does not) ? If you have any hints as to where in the code I should look for this bug, I'll be very happy. thank you for any help you can give me.
fixion Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Just found the german VAT id in this thread: DE228861723 - it too is accepted as valid (which it is), but VAT is still added :( Any ideas what is wrong ?
JeanLuc Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I think you've forgotten to do what's explained in the install.txt file: For those who want taxes automatically if the conditions below are OK:the billing company field is not NULL AND the billing tva_intracom field is not NULL AND the billing country is different than the STORE_COUNTRY AND the delivery country is different than the STORE_COUNTRY You can pick up the following files: catalog/includes/classes/order.php and catalog/includes/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php in this package, replace yours and uncomment the lines as explain in it.

fixion Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I think you've forgotten to do what's explained in the install.txt file: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would seem so. Thanks for the pointer - I'll go ahead with that.
barefoot_boo Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Hello, I'm trying to get this contribution working. I thought I'd done everything correctly but obviously not because when I now try to create an account I get the following error: 1054 - Unknown column 'entry_tva_intracom' in 'field list' insert into customers (customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address, customers_telephone, customers_fax, customers_newsletter, customers_password, entry_tva_intracom) values ('Fred', 'Flintstone', '[email protected]', '123456789', '', '', '24419fb74c3d3ede332393238e3e6bc2:e5', '9876543219') [TEP STOP] Can anyone give me any ideas of where I might have gone wrong? Many thanks boo
burt Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Boo, Add entry_tva_intracom to the customers database table => phpmyadmin G.
barefoot_boo Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Doh! Thankyou :) boo (you do realise I'd be completely buggered without having you to call on don't you? lol)
theoverer Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Hello, I added this contribution to my store. Great work I think! ok, but now I have a problem. If I set "Check the Intracom VAT number" to false all works fine so far. But if I want the number to be checked an set "Check the Intracom VAT number" to true I get the following error when trying to enter a VAT Number: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /mnt/kw2/01/749/00000017/htdocs/kitchenwonder/includes/functions/validations.php on line 170 Maybe you can tell me, where my mistake is? Thank you Ole from Germany

Thank you Ole from Germany <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Verify your PHP version which must be 4.3.0 or higher... The function file_get_contents() doesn't work with old PHP version... See: this link for more explanation. Regards. JeanLuc OsC: MS2
theoverer Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Hi JeanLuc, ok, that is my problem then. Because my Store runs on PHP 4.1. I have to use this version because my hoster does not allow register_globals on setting in higher PHP versions. I can use php 4.3.9 or php 5 but with register_globals off. Maybe I can set a higher php vesion for the validations.php. As I know I can rename ist to validations.php5 and then it should run with php 5. I'll try when I am at home... regards
HerrJones Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Hi, Awesome contribution, but I'm having a verification problem. Whatever valid number VAT number I try to enter in my account I either get "The intracom. VAT number does not correspond to the indicated country. Leave it blank if you don't know it." or "Impossible to check your VAT number: leave it empty" When I hit update. The VAT numbers are valid when I try them at europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_ customs/vies/en/vieshome.htm I turned " allow_url_fopen = On " in my php.ini. Any ideas? HerrJones
JeanLuc Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 What version did you install? JeanLuc OsC: MS2
HerrJones Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 What version did you install? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi JeanLuc, Sorry I didn't update my post. The problem was that at the europe.eu.int site, VAT number validation for certain countries was temporarily offline. This was causing the error. Thanks for your amazing contribution! HerrJones
scranmer Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Sorry to add in more missery but do you also know (I have looked but not seen mentioned) that you should not be charging VAT on the shipping if you are only sending ZERO rated goods? I have just created a contribution for this here its for 2.2MS2. HTH Si.
