VAT-Mod BETA UNOFFICIAL for Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h For Companies inside European Union =========================== Remake and compatibility with Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h Special edition done by dimjoula. Mod by Sebastian Bergquist/Beez (http://www.sweetfabrik.se) & Viktor Bergquist/vike http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=201772 IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE FROM Beez & Vike. IT IS A *BETA* VERSION. I DID A COPY AND PASTE FROM THE PREVIOUS CODES (VAT-Mod 1.3.0 for Zen Cart v. 1.3.8a) AND PASTE IT TO Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h FILES. IT WORKS FOR ME WITH MY OWN PERSONAL CONFIGURATION, BUT YOU SHOULD TAKE IT WITH CARE. IT MAY NOT WORK WITH YOUR OWN CONFIGURATION. BACKUP - BACKUP first your files and database before updating your store with these files. It may be buggy. You must know how to restore it!!! What's new: - PARTIAL (90%) Compatibility with Zen Cart v. 1.3.9h (but should be OK in most regular situations; potential problem when the customer uses several different addresses located in different countries) - french translation - update of the VIES link to check the validity of the number (only for a compatibility with php 5.3) - THIS FUNCTION INTRODUCED IN THE PREVIOUS MOD DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE: "Don't add tax on any prices in the store if customer is logged in with verified VAT-number and customers shipping address is not in the same country as the store." So, the file catalog/includes/functions/functions_taxes.php is not updated. Please, use the geniune file from 1.3.9h instead. ---------------------------------------------- Compatibility zen-cart-v1.2.2d.
