Attention Upgraders!

    http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36519
  • There are Extension Changes! The new tax system requires that order total extensions that call
    "$this->tax->getRate()" to be updated.
  • After upgrade, you should goto the System->Localisation->Tax Rates and add a "name" to the tax rate.
  • If you are using vQmod, after upgrading you will need to re-run the vQmod installer.

Patch Only Version:
I've compiled a zip of only the changed files, for those that want to limit the upgrade to only the changed or new files.
Only use this zip if you have an existing 1.5.1.x version

patch_151x_to_1513-v2.zip Downloaded 1152 times

Download - 1.55 MiB


ATTN DEVELOPERS:
There were some API impacts in this version...

1. New Tax System
The new tax system removes the old "Tax::getRate()" function from the system/library/tax.php file
This means any calls to "$this->tax->getRate()" will need to be replaced.

To show a coding example:
1.5.1.1:

Code: Select all

if ($this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']) {
    if (!isset($taxes[$this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']])) {
        $taxes[$this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']] = $this->session->data['shipping_method']['cost'] / 100 * $this->tax->getRate($this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']);
    } else {
        $taxes[$this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']] += $this->session->data['shipping_method']['cost'] / 100 * $this->tax->getRate($this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']);
    }
} 
Would be replaced with:

Code: Select all

if ($this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']) {
    $tax_rates = $this->tax->getRates($this->session->data['shipping_method']['cost'], $this->session->data['shipping_method']['tax_class_id']);
    
    foreach ($tax_rates as $tax_rate) {
        if (!isset($taxes[$tax_rate['tax_rate_id']])) {
            $taxes[$tax_rate['tax_rate_id']] =  $tax_rate['amount'];
        } else {
            $taxes[$tax_rate['tax_rate_id']] +=  $tax_rate['amount'];
        }
    }
} 
Since this was done in a point release (unfortunately :-[ ), I recommend using a conditional to make it support both 1.5.1.1 and 1.5.1.3 in one file to save yourself from having to maintain 2 versions.
For this I use

Code: Select all

if (method_exists($this->tax, 'getRates')) { //v1.5.1.3 or later
   // Put the new method here
} else {
   // Put the old method here
} 
Take a look at the changes in other core order totals to get additional insight on the issue.

2. JSON library Changes

json.php was moved to the system/helper area
json is no longer loaded as a library because it is a helper. So you can remove the load step and
change "Json::encode" to "json_encode".
Again I recommend using a conditional for this change. I personally still use the tax change conditional as that is the most unique and monitorable change in this release:

Code: Select all

if (!method_exists($this->tax, 'getRates')) { //v1.5.1.2 or earlier
    $this->load->library('json');
    $this->response->setOutput(Json::encode($data));
} else {
    $this->response->setOutput(json_encode($data));
}

I believe that this release is around the corner and could be finished the upcoming week.
I based my questions off the response I received earlier this week...

if you are using english then you are missing a file. try to reupload. if not then you need to get a translation for this file. or a dummy one.

i might put language fallback in the next version. i see why its important now.
