Finnish post office shipping modules

[pasi]

Finally here... a total solution for Finnish ZenCart users!

I've just submited the Finnish post office modules in the Zen-Cart download section (still waiting for validation)

The download includes a shipping module "suomenposti" which has three (3) shipping methods:

1. Maksikirje
2. Postipaketti 16
3. Ovellepaketti 14

Each of these can be enabled/disabled/configured separately within the module.

The download includes also a "postiennakko" payment module, which can
be used together with the "suomenposti" modules (doesn't work separately for obvious reasons)

and finaly, there is also an "ot_postiennakko" order total module that can be used if you wish to have a separate charge for the use of postiennakko. (again, this can be used only with the postiennakko payment module)

The modules can be totally configured from maximum shipping weights and shipping fee tables to the postiennakko fee and the maximum order amount that can be billed through postiennakko. (all modules are preconfigured with the post offices official values, so you don't need to fiddle with the settings too much)

-------------------------------
And as a surprise, there is also a basic Matkahuolto shipping module included!
-------------------------------

See the following image for an example of all these modules in work!

Excellent! Works like charm!
Just one comment to postiennakko..
I reversed the logic of the line:
if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'suomenposti_maksikirje'

to

if (($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'suomenposti_postipaketti') && ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'suomenposti_ovellepaketti')...

That's because I don't want to enable postiennakko payment method when I have "Noudetaan myymälästä" or "Matkahuolto" shipments chosen.

Yes, I just noticed yesterday that I had accidentaly left out the line of code that disabled the postiennakko module

A new release is on it's way ... and it will include also a "nouto" shipping module which will be paired with "käteinen noudettaessa" payment method (which will be available only with the "nouto" module) ... maybe I'll rename this project to Finnish -shipping package ;)

[pasi]

Delays... delays... delays!!!

well anyway... a new version should be ready by next weekend...

No "nouto" module yet (as we are still waiting for clear some things out before including it on our own shop) ...

new version will include a hardcoded free shipping system...
you can choose to disable the hardcoded free shipping and use the one in Zan Cart if you like...

the reason for this change is that the free shipping module in Zen Cart skips the "suomenposti" module and thus disables "postiennakko" payment method ... with the hardcoded free shipping, the shipping price will be set to 0€ and the customer can choose which shipping method s/he want's.

Of course you can disable any of the methods when free shipping is enabled, so that the customers can't for example choose the expensive "postipaketti 14" as the free shipping method!

------------

I'll post an update when it's done and released :)

[pasi]

Done...

module should appear in the download section shortly!

Here's what changed:
- fixed the bug in postiennakko module mentioned above
- hardcoded a free shipping system (like mentioned above)
- Updated the default shipping charges for posti modules to match the new prices of 2007


Have fun!

Also found a small bug in the package.

includes\languages\english\modules\payment\bussiennakko.php
has wrong translation variable.

By mistake it contains same variable names as
includes\languages\english\modules\payment\postiennakko.php

developer have aviously made file copy and intended to edit the new file but by accident forgot to edit the variable names.

BUG FIX>
Just edit the file
includes\languages\english\modules\payment\bussiennakko.php
with this>

define('MODULE_PAYMENT_BUSSIENNAKKO_TEXT_TITLE', 'Cash On Delivery');
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_BUSSIENNAKKO_TEXT_DESCRIPTION','Cash On Delivery charge. Only used in conjunction with matkahuolto shippingmodule.<br /><strong>Remember to activate the matkahuolto order_total module to collect the Cash On Delivery fee!</strong>');
define('MODULE_PAYMENT_BUSSIENNAKKO_TEXT_INFO','Order will be paid to post office when picked up.');

PLEASE I hope some one can still help on my previous sent problem.
