Question about tax

[kevpoll]

My shops shopping cart has got 'Total (tax excl.):' after I've disabled tax in the back office.

 

How do I stop this from being displayed?

[kevpoll]

Anybody tried removing 'Total (tax excl.):' from the shopping cart page?

Display tax in cart: to NO

I'm using 1.4.9.0 and there is no option inder taxes to remove from the cart. Only to enable or disable taxes which then removes tax from all products!

[El Patron]

things that make you go uhm...

 

You could just modify the modules/blockcart.tpl

 

here is the code in a native theme 1.4.9.0 (at or near line 137)

 

  {if $priceDisplay == 1}
   <p id="cart-price-precisions">
 {l s='Prices are tax excluded' mod='blockcart'}
   </p>
  {/if}

 

Please remember to force smarty compile when testing .tpl files..

In PS 1.5 'Total (tax excl.):' appears in the shopping cart even after I've disabled tax in the back office.

 

Which file do I need to edit to fix this?

[kevpoll]

Found this:

 

</tr>
   {/if}
  {/if}
  <tr
class="cart_total_price">
   <td colspan="5">{l s='Total (tax excl.):'}</td>
  <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_price_without_tax">{displayPrice
price=$total_price_without_tax}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="cart_total_tax">
  <td colspan="5">{l s='Total tax:'}</td>
   <td colspan="2"
class="price" id="total_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_tax}</td>
  </tr>

 

in file themes/default/shopping-cart.tpl

 

I know this will need to be changed but I don't really know what to do. Anyone got any ideas?

[kevpoll]

I've changed the following text:

 

</tr>
{/if}
  {/if}
  <tr
class="cart_total_price">
<td colspan="5">{l s='Total (tax excl.):'}</td>
  <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_price_without_tax">{displayPrice
price=$total_price_without_tax}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="cart_total_tax">
  <td colspan="5">{l s='Total tax:'}</td>
<td colspan="2"
class="price" id="total_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_tax}</td>
  </tr>

 

in file themes/default/shopping-cart.tpl to this

 

</tr>
{/if}
  {/if}
  <tr
class="cart_total_price">
<td colspan="5">{l s='Total'}</td>
  <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_price_without_tax">{displayPrice
price=$total_price_without_tax}</td>
  </tr>

 

It's only a temporary solution as all future versions would have to also be edited which is a real pain. If the code could be altered by prestashop to only display the tax sections when tax in enabled that would be much better.

Aloha!

 

There is another way ....

 

In the back office, the tools tab has a translations sub tab. Translations really should be thought of as a text editor for all your component pages and modules. Click on the spinner box to choose what area you want to edit. Then click on the flag representing your language, and you will see all the available lines of text you can edit. If you want to remove a line, then just enter a space in the field, and that will do the trick. Be sure to search (CTRL-F) so that you get all the instances of the text you want to edit or remove, and be sure to save, at the bottom of the page. Also, be sure that preferences/performance SMARTY is set to force compile YES and cache to NO, so that your pages are rebuilt. Once you have everything right, set force compile back to NO and cache to YES, so that your pages load properly.

Hi all, agreed with kevpoll, I have the same problem with the latest stable version (1.5.0.17).

You can switch "display tax in cart" on or off in BO, this has no effect in FO, although PS_TAX_DISPLAY is correctly set in the DB.

Probably some logic i wrong somewhere around the use of $use_taxes in shopping-cart.tpl or we're missing something completely (It worked properly in my previous shop using 1.4).

 

Will have to manually edit the template...

 

Checked the Forge.

Found this issue: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-1640

 

The answer is:

This option removes the taxes line in the block cart (not on the cart summary).

 

But I might disagree (or not understand the specifics), as shopping_cart.tpl contains the following code:

{if $use_taxes}
  {if $priceDisplay}
   <tr class="cart_total_price">
 <td colspan="5">{if $display_tax_label}{l s='Total products (tax excl.):'}{else}{l s='Total products:'}{/if}</td>
 <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_product">{displayPrice price=$total_products}</td>
   </tr>
  {else}
   <tr class="cart_total_price">
 <td colspan="5">{if $display_tax_label}{l s='Total products (tax incl.):'}{else}{l s='Total products:'}{/if}</td>
 <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_product">{displayPrice price=$total_products_wt}</td>
   </tr>
  {/if}
 {else}
  <tr class="cart_total_price">
   <td colspan="5">{l s='Total products:'}</td>
   <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_product">{displayPrice price=$total_products}</td>
  </tr>
 {/if}

 

where taxes and their use are indeed tested. This could mean that it's not the display of taxes in cart that is not properly validated, but their use.

Once again, this worked in 1.4

OK, Mea Culpa!!!

In fact, what happens is not at all connected with the 2 backoffice values...

It's simply that shopping_cart.tpl has been changed from 1.4 and that these lines were "hardcoded" in the template around line 168:

 

<!--tr class="cart_total_price">
<td colspan="5">{l s='Total (tax excl.):'}</td>
<td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_price_without_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_price_without_tax}</td>
</tr>
<tr class="cart_total_tax">
<td colspan="5">{l s='Total tax:'}</td>
<td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_tax}</td>
  </tr-->

Just comment them as I did above, and it's fine.

 

Sincerely

DJM

i change the code becomes :

 

{if $use_taxes}
  <tr class="cart_total_price">
   <td colspan="5">{l s='Total (tax excl.):'}</td>
   <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_price_without_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_price_without_tax}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="cart_total_tax">
   <td colspan="5">{l s='Total tax:'}</td>
   <td colspan="2" class="price" id="total_tax">{displayPrice price=$total_tax}</td>
  </tr>
  {/if}

 

and it works

Above solution by 'vynx' works correctly. This should be fixed in theme for PS1.5
