But if you want more details about it ; we won't be able to help, so I recommend you to perform some search.

Mark Mark")* Hi, I have language switcher (flags) and currency switcher active. - So far, so good. But: 1. For the geolocation plugin, is it possible to output the detected/derived value (the country) in a module? Best would be to then also allow for manual override of the country (of an anonymous site visitor). 2. On the checkout / cart view, I have done a manual extension to explicitly display the tax rate: Code: $taxes = round($this->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax-$this->full_total->prices[0]->price_value,$this->currencyHelper->getRounding($this->full_total->prices[0]->price_currency_id)); $tax = $this->full_total->prices[0]->taxes[0] echo '<br/><span>inkl. ' . $tax->tax_namekey . '(' . round($tax->tax_rate * 100, 1) . '%)</span><br/>'; Unfortunately this does not work out of the box for the product / listing_price view, as $taxes and $tax are not defined. Hints and code snippets welcome on how to drill this up. Both of these would help to make very explicit to a first-time web user what to expect from the shop (exact pricing, flexibility). The attached screenshot from etsy shows something similar (just an inspiration). - [ ![etsy.png](/forum/attachment/26322) ](/forum/attachment/26322 "etsy.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/26322?download=1 "etsy.png") Last edit: 11 years 2 months ago by [hactic](/forum/user/32281-hactic "View hactic's Profile").

The zone_id of the current country found by the geolocation plugin is available like that: $app = JFactory::getApplication(); echo $app->getUserState(HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.zone_id'); So if you want to display the name and/or a dropdown to let the user change it, you would have to develop a small module using that zone_id. 2. You should also have access to that in the listings. for example, you can use this code to load the price data (with the taxes array in each price) on the listings (view file listing_img_title for example): <?php var_dump($this->row->prices); ?> Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84Nzg1NTEtc2ltdWxhdGUtdGVzdC1jdXJyZW5jeS1zd2l0Y2hlcj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
