I want to do this without giving customers both options to pick from since they will always pick the cheaper option.

I have had an idea. How does this sound. I need to change the code but If i assign read only attributes of Medium Parcel to the items that need to go medium parcel this could be used to stop small parcel being used. This will work for single items or if any item in a package was marked with this attribute then the whole packet would be sent medium parcel. What it would not do is take in to account lots of small items making a parcel too big to send as medium parcel. It will take me a few weeks to sort this out but if this sound like a goer I'll give it a go! What do you think?

I could really do with some URGENT help here....

I used to used the BRM and added the Parcel Force mod when Phill was around. Now my hosting company has moved me to new servers and attemptin to login to Admin I get the following error (no admin page)

"ParcelForce data modules corrupted."

It is still trying to validate the old license.... I have removed all files as mirrored in the download file but still get this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

REALLY desperate... I have not been able to login to Admin all day and have much work to do tomorrow.

Knackered.... big style

Thanks

Host peeps sorted for me....

Relax ;))

My apologies if I'm making a rookie error but I have done a fresh install of the module on V1.3.9 and although the install went fine the shipping method isn't showing at all. I have installed both the 1st class medium parcel mods and modified the weights and pricing. I have checked that my cart doesn't exceed the maximum value.

I currently have the Zone rates working fine, could this conflict?

As this is a fresh install I haven't run any scripts.

Any ideas?

No response offered to my post, can anyone help please?

I have not tested this with the zone rates. Is there a place I can view your site to see if I can see what is going on. Sorry for the delay I have been away.
Also when you say you have done a fresh install did you do it to a clean database. In other words was it a full clean install from zen cart up. or did an old version of Big royal mail exist on the site before?

Is there an easy way to just remove the images? I don't feel that they are necessary.

Thanks :)

Yes it should be as easy as removing the "define('MODULE_SHIPPING_??????_ICON','@@@@'); (Where ?????? is the module name and @@@@ is the name of the icon) line from the definitions file. However it has shown me a bug which I have now fixed and resubmitted. So download version 3.1.1 and update your modules. Then to do it properly using the overwrite method
1)Create a folder in the YOUR_SHOPPING_CART_DIRECTORY/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/YOUR_THEME with the name of your theme. 2)Copy all the template files for the modules you use from the YOUR_SHOPPING_CART_DIRECTORY/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ into this folder
3)Remove the define statement for the icon.
if you do not use the overwrite method then
1) Remove the define statement for the icon from the template files you use.
NB if you do a full update later it will overwrite these files and you will need to re-edit them.

hi
i have just installed this plug in and its great but i have a question
the "large letter" bit can it be deleted so it just reads royal mail first class as i have many different size items and just need it to say royal mail first class

Yes it should be as easy as changing the "define('MODULE_SHIPPING_??????_TEXT_TITLE', @@@@');; (Where ?????? is the module name and @@@@ is the title displayed on the site) line in the definitions file.
The correct way top do this is:
1)Create a folder in the YOUR_SHOPPING_CART_DIRECTORY/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/YOUR_THEME with the name of your theme. 2)Copy the template files for the modules you use from the YOUR_SHOPPING_CART_DIRECTORY/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ into this folder
3)Change the define statement for the icon.
if you do not use the overwrite method then
1) Change the define statement for the icon from the template files you use.
NB: if you do a full update later it will overwrite these files and you will need to re-edit them.
NB2: if you use multiple modules with the same description. ie first class letter and first class large letter and both are applicable shipping it will look confusing to your customers who will see the same description twice with different prices.
