just change this:

to a php file for the includes/modules if you don't have the pdf with the instructions then it will be in one of the older big_royalmail packages. It's quite important as it breaks down the socttish counties, and if you don't have the counties then there is a sql file with all of them in, inside the folder "optional"

Cheers Philip - I had the pdf but not the sql insertion for the counties - got that now from an old BRM package!

If you have a look at the "Shipping & Returns" info page on my site (the text in red) you will see that we currently have a problem ;)

Yes I'm back...

I put the 'uk' -> 'all zones' in the first zone, and it didn't have an effect on the estimator, (though left it in to catch the 'no county' thing)... (Nice maths by the way :) ). But I did notice something.

I did have the 'optional extras' installed, removed them, then re-tested, and it works fine. No having to reload the screen, or click twice...

I'll have to have a look at the optional estimator templates then, the basis of those actually comes from 1.3.0 about July 2006 and all the optional estimator does is remove the ugly blocky shipping table border, nothing particularly fancy, but there's probably some compatibility with it and session management as ZC has got older. I may remove the "optional" estimator anyway, since a lot of people change their code entirely, no, a better way would be to sub folder it for 1.3.8 etc... because I think it's useful as it saves people having to root around their files trying to find which one to edit to remove a border.

Glad it's all got working apart from that. I'll start on another zip that will update th UKZR settings.

UK ParcelForce Shipping Modules version 2.3.5 is now available, temporarily from my website until it is listed in the download area above.

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1308

version 2.3.5 changes

For the first time account holders with Parcelforce are now catered for with the ability to put their discounts into specific International Datapost and Scheduled services. Also New are the Ireland 24 and Standard (non-account holder) services, while Eurozone 48 has been correctly renamed to Euro 48.

A lot of bug fixing has been happened to bring these modules up to to the high standard of the original Royal Mail modules.

hello thanks for the help so far i am just having a poblem setting the zones up i have installed the sql and it seems ok but in the admin area zone definitions i dont have the following Click on Postal Zone 1 UKZR: Zone 1 Mainland UK,have i mjissed something or do i have to create it thenk you for the help

Do a test, do an estimate shipping for something in Hampshire or any normal uk county. What happens is that UKZR mainland uk is a catch all, so if the county is not defined in Northern Ireland, or Highlands of Scotland, but still in the UK, then it should fall into Zone 1 and be calculated without any further action from yourself. Do not put all the uk counties into zone 1 as it's a a waste of time.

If that doesn't work PM me and I'll have a look.

Philip.

have i missed the SQL update, I can't seem to find the updated postage rates for the parcel force shipping?

I'm just going to PM you about these updates.

hmmm i have an error saying theres an update sql? but i cant find it any where

The moudles are fully functional and GPL, the customers never get to see that the rates are out of date, it is an admin only message. The SQL update can be found here http://########################.co.uk/?r=12#pf or you can update the rate yourselves with the spreadsheet downloadable from the parcelforce website.

Thank you
Philip.
