v151 Store Pickup by Delivery Postcode

frank18 — Sat, 25 May 2013 08:59:37 GMT

Problem:

You have the Store Pickup shipping module enabled. Your store is located in the South East of Queensland. A customer from Cairns places an order with you and selects Store Pickup at checkout to *save* postage. Cairns is located in the same state but is about 1700 km north of your store location. It is unlikely that the customer hops in a plane or drives 18-19 hours to your store to *save* the shipping charges.....

This has happened to me a few times on one of my stores.

Solution:

You limit the Store Pickup shipping module to postcodes surrounding your physical store location. If the customer's delivery address is not within the set limits then the Store Pickup option does not appear on the Checkout Shipping page.

To achieve this you

1. uninstall the Store Pickup module in admin
2. backup the includes/modules/shipping/storepickup.php file
3. modify the includes/modules/shipping/storepickup.php file (see below)
4. upload the modified file
5. re-install the Store Pickup module in admin

The modified module now lets you enter an array of delivery postcodes you wish to allow usage of the Store Pickup option. Just enter the allowed postcodes separated by commas (no spaces) eg. 7000,7001,7005 - save and done.

The Hack:

(I have this working on ZC 1.3.9 and ZC 1.5.1)

Open includes/modules/shipping/storepickup.php

Find this:

Code:

      if ($check_flag == false) { 

        $this->enabled = false; 

      } 

    } 

  } 

  /** 

   * Obtain quote from shipping system/calculations 

   *

and amend to this:

Code:

      if ($check_flag == false) { 

        $this->enabled = false; 

      } 

      // bof postcodes allowed 

      if (in_array($order->delivery['postcode'],explode(",", MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_POSTCODE))) { 

        $this->enabled = true; 

      } else { 

    $this->enabled = false; 

      } 

      // eof postcodes allowed 

    } 

  } 

  /** 

   * Obtain quote from shipping system/calculations 

   *

then find:

Code:

  /** 

   * Install the shipping module and its configuration settings 

   * 

   */ 

  function install() { 

    global $db; 

    $db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Enable Store Pickup Shipping', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_STATUS', 'True', 'Do you want to offer In Store rate shipping?', '6', '0', 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'True\', \'False\'), ', now())");

and amend to this:

Code:

  /** 

   * Install the shipping module and its configuration settings 

   * 

   */ 

  function install() { 

    global $db; 

    $db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Enable Store Pickup Shipping', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_STATUS', 'True', 'Do you want to offer In Store rate shipping?', '6', '0', 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'True\', \'False\'), ', now())"); 

    $db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('Postcodes Allowed', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_POSTCODE', '1000', 'Enter the delivery postcodes allowed to use this shipping method.

Enter the allowed postcodes as a comma delimited list - do not use spaces (eg 7000,7001,7005,7010).

In this example only orders with delivery postcodes 7000,7001,7005 and 7010 are allowed to use the Store Pickup shipping option.

', '6', '0', now())");

lastly - at the end of the file - change this:

Code:

   * @return array 

   */ 

  function keys() { 

    return array('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_STATUS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TAX_CLASS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TAX_BASIS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_ZONE', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_SORT_ORDER'); 

  } 

} 

?>

to this:

Code:

   * @return array 

   */ 

  function keys() { 

    return array('MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_STATUS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_POSTCODE', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_COST', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TAX_CLASS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_TAX_BASIS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_ZONE', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_STOREPICKUP_SORT_ORDER'); 

  } 

} 

?>

Enjoy

Cheers/Frank

Can anyone suggest a module or and idea how I can do this please?

v138a FedEx Webservices suddenly caused blank white page checkout_shipping

sbbemn — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:14:55 GMT

At 1:30 today, our site's checkout_shipping (and shipping estimator) went to a blank screen live for customers.

I tracked it down to the FedEx Web Services module, I have v1.4.5.2

Set it to false and checkout came back to normal.

Hope this helps someone else frantically ripping their hair out.

Now to get FedEx back!

v151 thoughts about Dropship Core?

SilverHD — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:49:02 GMT

Hi:

Does anyone have any experience with Dropship Core yet? I know it is a relatively new module but it has already had 72 downloads. I was just wondering how easy it is to install andconfigure. Can anyone compare it with the Advanced Shipper module from Ceon?

Thanks,

Silver

I am trying to make some of the items in my store as free ship to USA only. I would like to use regular zone rates for International shipping and Regular Zone rates for all other products.

When I activated Freeshipper I have two options in the "Shipping Zones" drop down list: 1 - none 2 - FL

How can I change "FL" in to US?

Thanks,

Christian_Wagner — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:45:26 GMT

Hello - running v. 1.5.1. The USPS Shipping Module by MarcoB - RateV4-IntlRateV2 is installed and updated.

I can only get quotes for international shipping and not domestic in the US. Comes up as an error. Any thoughts of what it could be? See screenshots for settings. (Yes, I know it's set to false right now). Thanks!!

v151 USPS Shipping Module Availability

Christian_Wagner — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:51:56 GMT

Hello all - running v1.5.1.

Is there a USPS shipping module that determines shipping price by weight? Hope this isn't a dumb question. Thanks!

v139h USPS shipper - rates not identified and are not selectable

jgold723 — Tue, 14 May 2013 13:59:36 GMT

I've installed, configured and enabled the latest version of the USPS shipper (2013-03-27). Activated my USPS account.

On checkout the plugin does deliver rate estimates for the services I select -- however, there's no checkbox to actually select a rate, nor are the different rates identified (only their prices).

I'm guessing it may have something to do with the checkout_shipping template (which has been highly modified on my install), but I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I can compare with a stock template, but if someone knows what specific area I should be looking it, it would be helpful.

Thanks,

Johjn

v151 Shipping modules information not displaying in admin

v139h USPS RateV4 Intl RateV2 - Includes Insurance

ideasgirl — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:37:09 GMT

Hi, after installing, configuring and testing this version I noticed that if I select to have "insurance" as an additional feature for the package/order, it adds it to the quote INSTEAD of showing it as an option as you can do on usps.com. Is it possible to accomplish this? I don't want to force shoppers to pay for something that's actually optional with USPS.

I set admin/modules/shipping/FREE SHIPPING! to "ture" and turn off the other options, because I want a total free shipping for my store. But when I try to checkout, the delivery information show:
"Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements."

Appreciate if somebody could help.

Fedex Ground Home Delivery with Advanced Shipper?

awesomshot — Sun, 05 May 2013 22:52:58 GMT

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am using advanced shipper 's fedex calculator and I cannot get Fedex Ground Home Delivery to work. I called Fedex and they told me that Ground Home Delivery quotes are not being generated because there are not flags showing the address in residential. By checking off the box for fedex ground home delivery I thought a flag would be created, but I guess not.

I wrote Connor (the module's creator), but unfortunately I found out that Connor has passed away. I was told by the company now in charge of the module that I am the first person they know of that is using the service. Additionally, they said they have no clue what is wrong.

Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

v150 USPS shipping module...trying to restrict shipping options programmatically

ecclescake — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:40:41 GMT

My shop has one category whose products must be shipped via Express Mail. All other products may be shipped either by Priority or Express. If an order contains one or more products from this particular category I need to force Express Mail.

So, both shipping methods are allowed, and I'm modifying the quote() function per Linda's code in this thread to check for products in category 69 in the cart and disable Priority Mail if that's the case. This code worked great in a past version of the USPS module, but now I'm using the update from March 27 and I can't get it to work.

Here's the code, from within quote():

PHP Code:


// Disable Priority Mail for cheese. ecasteel

        if (($this->types[$type] == 'Priority MailRM') && $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','69') > 0) { 

          $skip_this = true; 

        } else { 

          $skip_this = false; 

        }

        if (!$skip_this) {

        // eof ecasteel

          if ((($method == '' && in_array($type, $types)) || $method == $type) && $usps_shipping_weight <= $maxweight && $usps_shipping_weight > $minweight) {

            $methods[] = array('id' => $type,

                               'title' => $title,

                               'cost' => $cost,

                              );

          }

        // bof ecasteel

        }

        // eof ecasteel

      }

I think the problem is how I check for the shipping type. I'm using the string 'Priority MailRM' because that's what I see when I print out the types[] array. I've also tried 'Priority Mail', which is what worked before, and 'Priority Mail�', which is what shows up on the shipping options page during checkout. Do I need to check for a different string? I also tried checking whether the array index was 15, which is where 'Priority MailRM' shows up when I look at the types[] array. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

ShipRush FedEx Service & Weight Translation

bi11i — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:45:01 GMT

While my orders import correctly into shiprush, it's impossible for the application to translate my FedEx specified service into theirs because the weight of my parcel is included in the service string sent to shiprush.

For instance, a FedEx Priority Overnight shipment is viewed as "FedEx (0.30lbs) (Priority Overnight:" which includes the weight variable. with that weight number always changing, I can't seem to tell shiprush what service to use. How can I move this weight number from the service string but still see it on the invoices? Anyone else having this problem?

v150 USPS module not shipping to Korea, Republic of

aiko70 — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:53:29 GMT

I am using the latest USPS module for international shipping, and I am unable to ship to an address in Kyonggi-do, Korea, Republic of (South Korea). No shipping methods are available. All other international countries are working fine. I checked my country codes and my setup for our International zone, and Korea, Republic of is added there as shipping to all zones. Also, I have the correct type of shipping for this country (Express Mail International). According to the USPS website, their rules state:

Service is available only to the provinces comprising the Republic of Korea, i.e., provinces south of the 38th parallel of latitude.
The following is a list of the provinces comprising the Republic of Korea:

Cheju-do
Cholla-namdo
Cholla-pukto
Ch�ungch�ong-namdo
Ch�ungch�ong-pukto
*Kangwon-do
*Kyonggi-do
Kyongsang-namdo
Kyongsang-pukto

The provinces marked with the asterisk (*) are divided by the 38th parallel of latitude, and it is the responsibility of the mailers to determine that the post offices to which their parcels are addressed are located south of the 38th parallel. Mail addressed to offices north of the 38th parallel will not be forwarded to destination but will be treated as undeliverable.

However, this address is south of the 38th parallel and should be deliverable. Has anyone else had this issue, or have ideas on how to resolve it?

Thanks!
