Issue with taxes and shipping

This is likely some simple setting that I am missing, but I am having an issue with taxes being applied before the shipping is calculated. I am using the manual shipping plugin, and basing the shipping fees on the order total. Is there a way to ensure that the the shipping calculations are based on the pre tax cart total, not the post tax cart total?

Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

There is no option for that.

You will have to edit the file plugins/hikashopshipping/manual/manual.php and change the text:
price_value_with_tax

to:
price_value

and the text:
price_value_without_shipping_with_tax

to:
price_value_without_shipping

There are several occurrences of them in the file.

Nicolas,

Thank you for the information. I tried making those simple changes and it worked perfectly. Would it be possible to work in an option for this in a future release?

As always I appreciate the quick response, and am glad to support HikaShop.

We'll see but there are already lots of options in the manual shipping method. I'm not sure that adding yet another option is a good idea
