[Old] Royal Mail Modules

Hi
First many thanks to all involved in this fantastic module especially Philip and Pixxi.
I am trying to hide the royal mail shipping options when the free shipping options kick in, for example I give free shipping when an order has more than 3 items, so there is not point in displaying the RM1stlargeletter which I normally use, try I a may I have had no success in this yet and have searched through this long post be can't find how (thats not to say it isn't here and I've mised it:dontgetit). Any suggestions or pointers would be really appreciated, failing that I guess I am just going to have to roll up my sleves and start digging into the code to try work out a method but I was hoping someone could save me many hours of debugging:lamo:
Steven

Kands, The two Zen Cart free shipping modules are quite distinct in their operation (as you've discovered). The FreeShipping inhibits all other shipping methods, the Free Options does not.
Linda addressed this recently here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=69669&page=2

for US sites, which with a bit of editing will hopefully do the trick for you.

Rgds,

Hi Chuckl
Thanks for your reply I tried Kim's solution and modified it to suit however it removes all the shipping options but I still want to be able to offer things like store pickup and special delivery next day
Steven

Great mod and got it working great to handle the weights, but my customers are offered a choice of choose the right weight for Large Letter or Packet.

Most customers will of course choose the cheapest option, so I wondered if there is a way to direct customers to choose the most appropriate option for their chosen product/s? Most of my products are books which could be Large Letter or packet depending on the book?

Hi AJ73,

I'm no expert on this mod but I have found that a large percentage of books will not qualify for large letter even though they are within the weight allowed, because they are over 25mm in thickness.

I have a many products that could be sent via large letter and fit the size but I also have a lot that could but don't fit the size, so my solution was to not offer large letter.

I only offer Small packet, Recorded Signed for, Special delivery and Standard parcels for my UK customers, this seems to work for me.

TFB

Thanks TFB,

I may have to just offer packet, although I do know that most of our books are small enough when packaged for large letter, it's when they buy more than one they are of course packet only.

I think I will have to offer packet, we are a charity anyway so most people wont mind paying that little extra, the perfectionist in me would just like to offer them large letter if that is all they need to pay.

When I used this I weighed each item and depending on the weight I changed the setting of the mod thus making sure the larger items would be sent via packet or large letter as needed.

I have a problem about weight. It looks like lbs has been set up already. When I use royal mail, I do not understand why it charge so high as it is 0.001lbs. :frusty: Could someone help me please? Also is it possible to change using kg not lbs?

Thank you.

OK I found the answer to change configuration>shipping and packing 0:0

Thank you

Yes, that catches a lot of people out :smile:

You can change 'lbs' to 'kgs' in includes/languages/your custom language folder/english.php:

PHP Code:

---

 define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','kgs'); 


---

The default Zen Cart install sets up an automatic added packaging weight of 3 'units'. In your case actually 3kg, since the Royal Mail modules calculate in kg. So the shipping weight of your 0.001'lb' item is calculated at 3.001kg.
Change it in Admin-Configuration-Shipping/Packaging section Package Tare Small to Medium. Default is 0:3, which means 0 percent, 3 units. 10:0 is a better setting for testing.

Zencart does not do any weight conversions, it doesn't care what you call the units, so to change the units you simply need to edit the files, and change lbs. to kg. Easiest way to find out where is to read the tutorial

The fix is to run this SQL statement on your database via phpMyadmin:

TRUNCATE TABLE db_cache;
ALTER TABLE db_cache CHANGE cache_data cache_data mediumblob;

Or to change to file-based caching in your configure.php files.

Wanted to add my thanks for this post. To fix my post... :D

Hi,

Just tried using the shipping estimator additional mod that you give. It seemed to break my shipping estimator.

I have a test user with three addresses, two of which are outside the UK. Because i don't have any international delivery option available there are no shipping options available for these two address (not sure if this makes a deference but i thought I'd give the full scenario).

I open the shipping estimator and it shows the shipping for the default address, with an option bar at the top so i can select the additional addresses in my test account.

I select one of the other address and the estimator updates to show no available shipping options. But now I cannot see the option bar so i cannot change back to my old address. I close and open the estimator and still the same.

Without the mod installed i can change from one address to another no problem.

This is with zen cart 1.3.7.

Just thought i'd let you know..

Otherwise, great mod and thanks it is most helpful indeed :)

I NEED HELP Please!
I have installed the Big Royal and the UKZR modules hoping to get to exclude free shipping over £50.00 when the weight is over 30kg; no joy.
I now got a big problem and I dont Know Where it could come from,
The customer billing and shipping address DOES NOT come up in the Invoice, Packing List, in super orders and normal orders, not even in the shop customer account view orders!
I would appreciate very much if you can help!
Thanks

AFAIK it's unlikely that installing the RM mod would cause that - no one else has reported it so far, although you may, of course, be the first ;-)

Have you made any other changes or installed any other mods at the same time?

Do the addresses appear if you:

1. Disable the RM mod in admin?

2. Un-install the RM mod?

I am honored to be the first, :(
All the shipping modules are disabled a part from flat and Zone rate
In the last few days I have installed Big Royal, UKCounties_sql, super orders 2,
I have being modifying live help (top right box) some source code.
I have modified text in the invoice (not any source code)
It seams to me that I have not touched any core files thet query the sql .
I have checked the db orders and name and addresses are all there.
The only place that the address appears ok is in the checkout process.

Can you think of some other think I could have done wrong?
Thanks

And what happens if you:

2. Uninstall the RM mod?

How do you do that? You mean delete them from the admin/shipping.
I have un-installed it from sql db but still the same.
I have just done a new order and that invoice address comes up.
So is lost the references to the previous orders?
How can that be?

You remove all the RM mod files from your shop - the opposite to how you installed it ;-)

Can I send you an email? I would like to add a feature to the product price, can I talk to you about it?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have trawled through the post but can't see it there already, I have just started customising my store and have installed the "big_royalmail version 2.2 on my site and everything seems to work really well, except for one problem, when the customer reaches the point in the order process where they chose their dispatch method, the text that lists the various shipping options pushes the right hand side boxes out of the central area of the page, is there a quick fix for this? I would imagine just a reduction of the font size would do this, but where do I change these settings?

Any help would be most welcome

Problem solved!

Good to hear it :smile:

Might be an idea to also post how you solved it - then anyone else with the same problem can maybe find your post in the future ... :wink:

Well, maybe not the right way to go about it, but in the stylesheet.css I changed the font size in the body section from 62.5% to 55.5% and now the page displays exactly how it should do

Around line 14

Code:

---

body {
        margin: 0;
        font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 62.5%;
        color: #000000;
        background-color: #3366FF;

---

Changed to

Code:

---

body {
        margin: 0;
        font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 55.5%;
        color: #000000;

Think when I had this problem I made me site a little wider to fit it all in.

Have installed this module but have found a problem on checkout shipping step 1. Where it lists the shipping methods, the 'legend' is repeating the service name, as in:

---Royal Mail specialdelivery® next dayRoyal Mail specialdelivery® next day---

This has the result of pushing everything off page.

Does anyone have an idea where I should be looking to correct this?

Thanks in advance for any help

Neil

On further examination the problem lies in the fact I don't have the icon to display therefore it is using the alt text. Is there a way to disable show icon fro shipping methods?

You could try the changes to the stylesheet that I have made, it now works perfectly on my site and all other pages seem unchanged

Bas

Thanks Bas

But having the service listed twice just looks a mess.

The code implies there is some sort of condition being met to display the image so I imagine it can be set to false, just can't find where! It may be in the database I guess..

Regards

Neil

I just added the icons, looks neater than repeated tiltles anyway.

cheers

Neil

Has Parcelforce 24/48 been removed from this module?

Cheers

Neil

has anyone solved the problem with international standard and datapost yet?
i noticed there was an updated module mentioned earlier in the thread but the download has disappeared.
any info greatly appreciated!

The solution was posted by babygekko in post 369 in this thread - the class name cannot have an underscore in it.

We don't use those three modules, so haven't tried v.2.2.3 but if you want to PM me an email address I'll send you a copy.

Heya it's here: http://www.babygekko.com/html/downloads

Also, take a look at the new InterParcel (UK) demo at https://www.spaceclearing.com/uk

It currently only works for 184 countries though

In the installation notes it says................

"copy the files from big_royalmail_v2.1/images/icons/ to YOUR_ZC_FOLDER/images/icons"

I cannot find a mystore/images/icons folder?

I just took a look at the store folders - it should look something like this ?
Icons folder is in the Images folder ? - does your store layout look anything like that ?
I have the big_royalmail mod installed - but cannot remember if the icons folder was there before I installed it - or if I created the folder myself...sure that someone else will know...:blink:

Yes - I deleted all the ones I have no use for (computer manufacturers and games stuff) - to reduce the clutter - looks like I added the icons myself - it's awhile ago - so a bit hard to remember exactly :blink:

LOL Ok Ill add an icon directory and see if that works...
thanks!

i've just uploaded this module (i was using the previous version before) and have now lost all shipping modules in Admin except Eurozone 48 although my free shipping option for uk orders still shows in the cart.
on the shipping modules page in admin i am getting the below error:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _cfg_pull_down_euro48_geozones() (previously declared in /home/uebtiprb/public_html/cart/includes/modules/shipping/eurozone48.php:510) in /home/uebtiprb/public_html/cart/includes/modules/shipping/eurozone_48.php on line 509


Any ideas???

problem now mostly solved... i think the files in the new module were named differently to the originals, so when i merged the folders things got duplicated.... maybe!
I now seem to have duplicated 1st class etc modules... but that's minor in comparison!

Hello I have just installed this mod on a new store and I have a problem, my items are coming up too heavy??

ie a book weighs .5kg and it is shown in the shipping estimator as 3.5kgs.

I have altered the default weight to say kg instead of lbs but that shouldn't effect it,

I have eurozone 48, international standard, standard packet, and small packet airmail installed??

any ideas??

Gerard

have a look under configuration-->shipping/packaging and check the "tare" rate, it might be adding weight on to allow for packaging?

thanks just found it, great module

Hi all
I really feel like I'm missing something here. I've read the install.txt and followed the instructions. I do however have the counties from mutualadvantage.co.uk already installed and if I understand the .pdf correctly - this is a problem - is that so or can I work with it?
Also, Zones 1,2,3 - do I have to construct them myself? In the .pdf it states that if no ukzr zones are detected at install, then they will be added to the zone definitions, but this has not happened.

I'm sorry if these are basic questions but I am very confused:unsure:

Thanks
RoPey

Well I've worked out the answer to my second question and found that I had to install the ukzr module to put the definitions in, but I have created a test account with an address in France and even though I have the International Signed for Small Packet enabled, it says that there are no shipping options available the checkout shipping page states "Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time."

I am obviously missing some important step. I'll keep reading but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

I do have an EEC zone definition but I can't see in the International Signed for Small Packet setup anywhere to say which zone definition it should use.

Thanks for any help

are you over the max weight of 2kgs?

reason i ask above, is that my module for international stuff works fine, EXCEPT when i go over 2kg weight, then if i hit the estimate shipping button i get :

Quote:

---

TITLE_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE TEXT_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE

---

If i go on to the next step i just get the warning ... we are not shipping to your region

For the TEXT issue, i have checked the shooping_cart.php file in the core file and my overides and added the define statements but to no avail....i noticed some back on page 37(?) with this prob yet didn't see a solution

The other problem is why isn't the module breaking down the number of items?
I have two items, both at 1.5 kg, the module works fine if i try and buy one, but if i try and buy 2 within the same order i get above problems..

Also, does anyone know if there is an RM service within the module that does over 2kg of one item to international destinations as some of our items weigh more?

doh...found it!

Hi, Would like to say thanks for the great modules but i seem to be getting a slight problem.

when i install the Royal Mail 2nd Class Recorded Signed ForTM "Packet" nothing shows up in the cart for shipping.

but when Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed ForTM "Packet" is installed it works perfect.

Can someone help me please.

Regards,

uk_rules_ok

Change 'Hide invalid shipping' to false and check if it then gives you a shipping cost, even if wrong.

There is also an issue if you have a LOT of shipping modules defined where LOT = greater than 5 or 6.

I am sure I have missed something obvious.

On the checkout page I am getting this message.

Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.

I am sure I have missed a stage during the installation - but I couldn't find anything relating to this in the read me files.

Thank you in advance.

Just a quick question, and hopefully an easy one for most...

Currently the shipping options show as 'Royal Mail 1st Class "Letter" <RM_ICON>' but I'd like to change it to show the icon first, before the name of the service - IMHO, I think this will look neater.

However, I can't get my head around how the line is built.

Could someone help please?

Thanks.

Hi, I notice you have built in a switch to hide the shipping option if its invalid ...... is this possible to do with the normal table rate? as my coding experience is limited and so far I've failed miserably lol

What I would like is for the table rate to appear until the order reaches £50.00 then the free shipping module kicks in, but at the moment the table rate is still there as well.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Hi
I have been using ukzr for some time now and have had an issue but chose to ignore it. Basically i only use the zone rate module for the 3 areas. I use an alternative module for shipping accross europe.

Anyway i have a basic susidised shipping of 3.99 for zone 1, 6.99 zone 2, 9.99 zone 3.

If i select the relevant country as the shipping address, ie scotland, wales, norther ireland etc. It works as expected. But if (as everybody does and i would to be fair) i select 'United Kingdom' everything regardless of post code is 3.99.

If i remove United kingdom from my counrty codes it breaks other things.

I have missed something somewhere that much i know lol but if one of you gurus, could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks
Happy Christmas

James

I have the Big Royal Mail mod installed on a new site which I hope to go live in January. The module works fine (shows only the correct shipping options and hides the others.

The problem I am having is that the module appears to be not recognising the weight and all shipping options show 0.000kg regardless the number of products added to the cart.

I cant figure this out. The shipping weights are added to the product in admin, and when i increase the number of items in the cart the total weight increases in the shopping cart accordingly.

Any ideas what is wrong here. I have the zones etc set up per Big Royal Mail.

Bump

Any clues. I have had a few orders now to Northern Ireland and as they pick UK every time its costing me £20 more than they pay for the shipping there?

James

Update

After creating duplicate zones (people think they live in the wrong country lol) i have found that this module works perfectly if the client selects the account address as the delivery address, but if the client uses the address book and selects another address then it defaults to zone 1

hi

does any one know how in the International Standard module you make zones 4 to 8 work.

i have played around with making the code look the same as the international datapost module but they still wont work.


i realy can see why these zones have been left out.

thanks

rob

Help

I have installed International Standard and made it workwith all zones, but whne it come to checkout.

If i select International Standard and click continue checkout it just kick me back to the shippnig information page.

I have also tryed this with the International Datapost which is the same as the International Standard.

has any one had this problem and know how to fix it.

thanks

I'm currently upgrading to Zen Cart version 1.3.8a.

Does anyone know if this module works with that version of Zen Cart, or am I in virgin territory? :unsure:

Mod installed on my development 1.3.8a, and appears to be functioning at a basic level. The mod is truly awesome. This one really is a work of art.

I'm starting with 'simple' UK shipping first, then I'll move on to international shipping (including 'Printed Paper'). To familiarise myself with the mod I have enabled the two options I would most frequently need:

• Royal Mail 2nd Class "Large Letter", and
• Royal Mail 2nd Class "Packet"

This is a big and very flexible mod so it's probably best to take it one step at a time. Here's my first problem.

I sell a range of items that vary (per item) from a large letter (e.g. a Ladybird book or small paperback), to a packet (e.g. a jigsaw or hardback book). It's safe enough, I think, to assume that if the customer is buying more than one item the resulting post will be a packet. This is not necessarily true, as two Ladybirds are still a large letter. :blink: Parcels are rare so I'll ignore those options for now.

I see no way to prevent customers from choosing inappropriate options. If I add an item to my cart which I know will be a packet I still see large letter in my shipping options. Obviously, the customer will choose the cheapest even if he/she knows darn well his/her purchase just ain't ever gonna fit through that itty-bitty slot! :no:

How do I prevent these inappropriate options from being displayed?

If you want to have a play the site is at http://138a.swiftbooks.co.uk

Note: Although I've copied all of my live data into the 138a subdomain I haven't installed the book mod yet. Only the 'out of the box' products work so far (the jigsaws and a few other odds and ends). For all the book type products you'll be redirected to the site map.

This could be a show-stopper that makes me rethink my shipping and handling policy - part of which is not forcing purchasers of small items to subsidise the shipping for purchasers of large ones.

I have the same problem. The customer can purchase 10 items which will altogether qualify for a large letter. And then just a single one which I know is a packet.

Any help would be very appreciated.

I've not got anywhere with this yet, but have started recording the product dimensions (length x width x thickness) as I know these, or something similar, will have to be part of the solution.

In truth, I've been sidetracked by some other issues and a shedload of data migration work so my upgrade and the New Royal Mail module have been put on temporary hold.

We have installed this module to our new site which appears brilliant.
My god we used to use actinic with our other site www.freeyourmobile.biz this Zencart is a lot more flexible.

When in the cart the shipping option shows up as MODULE_SHIPPING_SPECIALDELIVERY_TEXT_TITLE
How would we change the description to just Special Delivery for example.
I have tried editing the PHP file but this just disabled the option.

Thanks in advance

Which PHP file have you tried editing?

It looks as though the 'define' statement for this string may be missing from the language files (or possibly I've just missed it).

I suggest using the Developers Tool Kit to find another string from this mod that is working, then add the missing one.

Ok, yeah. What do I do to get this to work?

I've either missed out something rather large, but any module I turn on just doesn't work. The tare is 0:0, I've changed the minimum/maximum values and nothing shows up.

I turn on that Invalid Shipping option and I just get "The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time".

What have I missed out here?

Thanks, this will be just what we need once it works.


Tom

Cancel that, it was where it was being hosted. I had it on a localhost, so problems were being caused.

Actually, there is one thing. (Thanks for this module by the way)

What would be your recommendation if I were to do the following:

The client wants to be able to ship using the next day delivery for £9.95 handling on orders upto £100, but wants the handling to be free after that.

From what I gather, theres no table rate set up on this module, so I've no idea how to get this working, apart from manipulating another module to appear as a next day.

Can anyone explain why the Royal Mail module doesn't allow 'special delivery' to Channel Islands & Isle of Man?

I checked with the post office and the were adamant that special delivery is ok for these areas under 2Kgs.

If this is an oversight..where can I add the Channel Islands & IOM country codes to the module?

Nigel

First of all, many thanks for making this module. it is very good.

I have one idea which i cannot find out about on these forums.

is it possible to make a product large letter or packet? and then in the cart if the cart includes a packet item then hide the large letter postage option?

so you would need to add something to the products section so you can choose large letter or packet from a drop down menu?

and then update shopping cart to look for this?

does this make sense and is anyone using something like this?

i've read people cheating the system and just making packets more heavy to keep the postage up but has anyone done this properly?

thanks
david

i've read on previous pages that i can put the dimensions of my product in? then we could update the shopping cart etc to only show large letter if all products are says less than 15mm deep? before packaging. so you could put 100mm deep on all packet items and 1mm deep on anything you want to be large letters?

but the only place i can find to put the dimentions is at the bottom under the usual settings? down the ebay and ebid exporters?

so not sure if this could put this up from here?

hello everyone

That sounds great! Is there a link to the update anywhere? I don't see it in the downloads section. :smile:

Hi.

I have installed this excellent mod - it does just what I want! One problem. The postage value is not turning up on the invoice. I get a subtotal (value of goods) and Total (sum of goods and postage) but no line for postage in the middle!

What have I done wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

Philip

However, I can't get my head around how the line is built.

Could someone help please?

Thanks.

I have had a look at this for you .. like you probably already found out the icon is defined in shipping royal mail mod but not the lay out .. think you may need to look at a file outside this mod .. will keep looking though

anyone else with some ideas would be of great help

Thanks for taking a look for me! Greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to make the changes.

I couldn't find the link in the downloads section either. Has anyone got a link to it?

greatness_183, did you have any luck at all? I still can't locate how it's built... :frusty:

I've downloaded this and installed it and then suddenly thought - is it up to date with all the current Royal Mail pricing? Are there plans to update the module for 1.3.8 which I have installed it into so hope it works.

I've had this module installed for ages and it works great - cheers the developer! - but I've just recently noticed a problem I've been having.

First of all, when I installed this in the first place I read (almost) everything on this thread and in the files and it'd break my heart to have to do it again. So apologies if this is mentioned somewhere else... but...

Someone wanted to buy a load of stuff that all together amounted to over 10kg. Problem is that this mod only allows the package to weigh up to 6kg (1st class packet). Is there a way to break anything bigger into two or more boxes?

For instance: In the Admin, under: configuration/shipping&Packaging/Enter the max package weight - I had set to 2kg thinking that since I sell nothing too heavy if they ordered more than that then it'd be handy breaking it up into different boxes of around 2kg. Is it possible to combine these two things?

thanks

I have not tested with 1.3.8 so if it it works fine or not let me know and I can update

you will just need to add the pricing the value on there list curently gose up to 4kg

after that the price increases £2.80 per 2 kg

now if you are using the new download you will need to add to packets

08:13.82,10:16.62, 12:19.41

as far as breaking into 2, now I would say send as parcel at this point .. but thats just me

Cheers for the advice. I'd not installed the parcel part. D'oh. So thats the UK stuff sorted

But what if someone wants to buy stuff with a combined weight of 10kg and get it shipped to the USA? Surely then it'd be useful to break overseas packages into 2kg parcels?

Wonder if someone could please help me.

I have installed the latest version - v2.2

Two problems have sprung up so far.

1. When on the Checkout Shipping page - Step 1 of 3 delivery, the system shows the shipping method twice in the headline, i.e. it repeats itself and so the headline for each option busts the line.

Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Many thanks :wacko:

2. When I put a weight of say 0.1 to a product, all of the postal options up until 'Royal Mail 1st Class "Packet"' say 'The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time'.

Could anyone please advise on this also?

I have managed to fix both problems so ignore my earlier posts.

Many thanks

Hi Guys,

This was the closest thread i could find to what i am looking for, so i do apologise for going off on a tangent a bit.

I am trying to replicate this: http://www.flowersdelivereduk.com/UK...n-or-City.aspx

to be able to provide customers a search facility for cities, towns, and regions of the UK.

Is there any module that can do this or any suggestions of the best possbile way to do this.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
