is it possible to get rid of the vat 17.5% dispalyed

[shaloy]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could throw some light on this .I would like to know if it were possible to get rid of the words vat 17.5 % along with tax inclusive and tax exlcusive .

I just want the words 'exe tax' to be displayed along with the prices of the products.

and reduce the space between the quantity field box and the add to cart button.

Many thanks
shankar

Search Design | Text for "tax message" and change it to what you require.

Alternatively, look up the layouts under Design | Library | Layouts | Prices and change the layout.

Hi ,

I actually find it difficult to change the tax message in the design--layout --prices,by changing the layout.

I am able to find the 'Including Tax message' and 'excluding tax message' in the design ---texts,in order to have change the tax message.

sorry if you could tell me wether i have to specifically look for the 'tax message' in design ---texts.

more help would be helpful.

Many Thanks

'Including Tax message' and 'excluding tax message' in the design ---texts

Bingo.

Excluding Tax Message:
Change "(Excluding: %s)" to "(Excl. VAT)" or whatever you require and do the same for Including Tax Message

Sorry but i have tried that i dnt see any differnce ..there are two filed the current value and the default one ,the current value is what i changed under the desing----texts---website ---excluding tax message ..

Many thanks

Woops.

I should have read the full description:
"The 'excluding tax' message that appears on the confirmation page"

Anyway. Search Design| Text for "Tax Name And Rate" and change "%s at %s%%" to (Excl. VAT) or whatever.

That should do the trick.

Sorry Shaloy

This has become a bit of a ping pong match. Post your layout code and I'll do the changes for you.

I changed the code located towards the bottom of your layout so that it only displays the TaxName and not the TaxName and TaxRate% <-- Huge hint!

[shaloy]

Thats worked out well.Thanks very much.

Could you please tell me in which line and where exactly have you made this change?so that i can follow up with it in future.

cheers

Excellent.

As you become more accustomed and familiar with actinic you will gain the confidence to start playing with your layouts. Feel free to play (with caution).

Should you bugger something up, you can always revert back to the factory settings.

Also, bear in mind that actinic uses these layouts as global layouts. Therefore, any changes will be reflected where ever the layout is used.

Enjoy

[shaloy]

Yea i have found where exactly the change is been made

if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName1"/> at <actinic:variable name="TaxRate1"/>%</actinic:block><actinic:block

is been changed to

if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsTax1Used%22%20%2f%3e"><actinic:variable name="TaxName1"/></actinic:block><actinic:block

Does that sound corrct???
