Hi All,
Running version 1.58a on a linux server running PHP Version: 8.1.31
I used to have free shipping for goods under 3kg on my site in Australia.
Since I had the site updated to 1.58a this option has gone.
I was just wondering which module should be activated to be able to get this setting back without having to setup a list of zones for a heap of countries as I only interested in free shipping for Australia.
Any advise would be appreciated.
The only issue I see here is a lack of courage to do a search in Zen Cart documentation...
https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/shipping/
I looked at that but it did not show me which module has the free shipping using the weight option.Quote:

Thanks anyway
You're looking for the "Free Shipping Options" (freeoptions) shipping module.
Thank you for the reply that I requested.Quote:

I just don't want more cost.
Shouldn't cause problems, it's a built-in shipping module.Quote:

The only issue is that I changed this option in the module to this:
Weight >=
3kg
The problem is that when I add an item (sku 631-04354C) which has a weight of 5kg it shows the option of free freight when going through checkout and defaults to free freight
Have I made an error by just changing the one field in the module?
Didn't you want free shipping to be offered when the order's weight is <= 3kg, not >=?Quote:

and this one : Weight <=

For shipping zone I chose Australia
Both gave the same result in checkout free freight being chosen as the default.
What am I doing wrong when either are chosen I am getting the same result.
The Free Shipping module (freeshipper) is diasabled or do I need to delete it.
Are you setting the value to 3kg instead of 3? Try removing the unwanted kg portion, if present.Quote:

Yep, that's a bug in the freeoptions.php shipping module. See this Zen Cart PR for the changes: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/7024Quote:

This is the error message that I am receiving now and I now only have three shipping options after the fix that was done and they are:Quote:

It seems that when any changes are made to modules on the site I get more errors.
Site will now not accept orders because of the change.Quote:

This is not good for me
The bug fix is for ZC v2.1.0, File in v1.5.8a is a little bit different.
Try to replace your line 9 of '../includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php':
By this:Code:class freeoptions extends ZenShipping
Code:class freeoptions extends base
Thank you Pilou2 for the correction.Quote:

Also the free shipping module appears to be working correctly.
Latest update with the free shiping module.Quote:

Any idears to why this would be happening because other orders with weight over 1.00kg to 3.00kg are showing the free freight oprion ok because they are under the 3kg limit.
This part is only $10.00 and he only ordered two which is $20.00 so not being over $150.00 it should not default to free freight unless I have incorrecrtly done the setting in admin wrong.
If I set the following:Total >=
Free Shipping when Total >= 150.00
Will that mean every order over 150.00 will get free freight?
You've got the freeoptions configured to provide free shipping when the weight is >= '' (i.e. 0) and <= 3 (kg) or if the order's subtotal is <= $150.00.Quote:

The logic of this module is not obvious.
There are 3 criteria on which you can set a condition for free shipping:
Total (price)
Weight
Item (number of items)
For each one you can set a Min and Max limit.
When you set both a Min and Max limit, logic is based on 'AND'. Meaning to have free shipping, product must be over Min limit AND under Max limit.
But if you set conditions on 2 different criteria, logic is based on 'OR'. For example, if condition on total price OR condition on weight is fulfilled (only one is enough), then you have free shipping.
If you want free shipping if weight is under 3 AND total over 150, well this module can't do it as it is.
Good description, @pilou2!Quote:

When my site was updated from 1.55e to 1.58a it was lost and that is why I don't like updating the site because you loose all the old stuff and to get it corrected cost a fortune and losses in sales.
Anyway thanks for letting me know about it being a waste of time having the module active which I have now deactivated because of the issues.
I would have thought that it would be a simple code insert to get it corrected but it would appear to be to hard to do.
