Way to set default "tax rule" on product in BO scroll down?

[dixie]

I am in the US, and use the same tax rate for all of my products. All products, except for a few downloads, have the same tax rate. As it is now, I have to change the scroll down from 'no tax' to US-AL Rate (6%) for each product that I add. Is there a way to have the scroll down set to US-AL Rate (6%) default, then scroll down for No Tax? Can someone help this non coder change this default? It would sure same me a lot of time in building my website.

 

I have PS 1.4.7 and am using the new template.

 

Thanks!

Dixie

You can delete the tax rules you don't use so there will not be as many as that comes with default US install.

Line numbers might be wrong since I run 1.4.4.1 with mods and patched updates..

 

Use phpmyadmin and view browse ps_tax_rules_group and find the 'id_tax_rules_group' value for your tax rule.

 

Note that number and now open up /admin/tabs/AdminProducts.php

 

On line 2543 (?) you'll find:

 

echo '<option value="'.$tax_rules_group['id_tax_rules_group'].'" '.(($this->getFieldValue($obj, 'id_tax_rules_group') == $tax_rules_group['id_tax_rules_group']) ? ' selected="selected"' : '').'>'.Tools::htmlentitiesUTF8($tax_rules_group['name']).'</option>';

 

change

$this->getFieldValue($obj, 'id_tax_rules_group') == $tax_rules_group['id_tax_rules_group']

 

to

 

$tax_rules_group['id_tax_rules_group'] == #

 

# being the id number you took from the database

 

now it will default to that #

Any solution for same issue in 1.5. That file no longer exists best I can find. I have a single tax id; #54 (lol, didn't bother renumbering it).

Any solution here? I need to make the same mod.

 

I found a file called AdminProductsController.php in /controllers/admin/ and it has this line:

 

$this->object->id_tax_rules_group = (int)Tools::getValue('id_tax_rules_group');

 

 

Would this be the line to adjust and if so, how?

 

Many thanks for any help.

For 1.5.2

PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL CHANGE ALL YOUR EXISTING PRODUCTS TAX RATES TO THE DEFAULT RATE.

This means you're retail prices will change if they are not at the default rate. Only use it if you have only one tax rate.

 

Use phpmyadmin and view browse ps_tax_rules_group and find the 'id_tax_rules_group' value for your tax rule.

 

Note that number and now open up \admin\themes\default\template\controllers\products\prices.tpl

On line 165

 

Replace the # below with the 'id_tax_rules_group' value for your tax rule.

 

 

Replace

<option value="{$tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}" {if $product->getIdTaxRulesGroup() == $tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}selected="selected"{/if} >

 

With

<option value="{$tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}" $tax_rules_group['id_tax_rules_group'] == # selected="selected">

Tried the above but doesn't work.

No tax is replaced with 6% (id_tax_rules_group 3) as default when I use id_tax_rules_group 7 (25%). Actually I get 6% no matter which id_tax_rules_group number I use.

 

Edit: Another thing: All existing products still have 25% VAT after the change, BUT if I edit them, VAT is changed to 6%

ok, solution in prestashop 1.6

 

go to Control Panel and note the "id" tax rule you want to make the default.

Now go to the file \admin\themes\default\template\controllers\products\prices.tpl line 161

 

you see: <option value="{$tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}" {if $product->getIdTaxRulesGroup() == $tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}selected="selected"{/if} >

 

then change $product->getIdTaxRulesGroup() and instead put the desired id tax group.

 

example: <option value="{$tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}" {if 5 == $tax_rules_group.id_tax_rules_group}selected="selected"{/if} >

 

Now that rule is the tax that is default

 

But...... to not overwrite the original file must use the override folder the root of prestashop to overwrite the file.

 

then, copy the file prices.tpl and paste it in /override/controllers/admin/templates/products (create the folder products)

now you can chage de prices.tpl file without change the original file.

Hi!

I know this is a bit old topic, but people still may look for solution to fix unassigned tax rules group for some products. I just added a feature doing it to the Tidy module.

Hi, does anyone know how to do the exact same thing in the Carrier Wizard? Thank you!
