Table Rate Problems

[fergusmacdonald]

Brilliant, thank you very much - that works perfectly.

Do you know if it's possible to do something similar for the zone rate shipping module?

Same thing ... the flow of the code is very similar it just changes the constant in the line for where to put this ...

The code is generic and can be run in any shipping module:

// don't show when over 50
global $cart;
if ((defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG') && IS_ADMIN_FLAG == true) || $_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() > 50) {
  $this->enabled = false;
} 

You just need to put it in the right location of the code ...

OK, brilliant. Can you tell me where to put the code in the zones module.
Thanks.

Try placing it above:

      // CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED
      $this->num_zones = 3;

Hi, sorry for butting in,
i think i understand how the table rate works, you set postage for different weights.
And you need to do that for every form of shipping. eg, first class, std parcels, second class, parcel post etc.
It that case, if you offer 4 differnt types of shipping you would need 4 table rates ( 4 modules). but where is it? and where can i find a tutorial on it, please.

So in the case of the "bigroyal mail module", it has already been done for you. (The tables)Am i understanding this correctly?

Someone, Please enlighten me!

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hey. Yes, if you want to use table rate shipping modules for more than one type of shipping, then you need to have multiple table rate modules installed. You can download and addon to do this here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=966 and i also found a thread in the support forum which tells you how to do it manually.

I had Big Royal Mail installed, but chose to add multiple table rates as they are simpler and display the shipping information at the front end in the same format as my other shipping modules.

hi,
did you unstall the Big royal mail module (BRMM)? or installed the additional rate table along side?

how many tables do you use, and their descriptions?

i am only looking to ship within the uk, so will only need;
first class; large letter and packets
second class, large letter and packets
standard parcel up to £100.
and a call for price.
can you add a link to that helpful thread, much appreciated.


Mucn thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
is this the helpful thread that you used'
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=555719
i would like to know, as i am very intrested in doing the same

i had a look at you cart, Looks very proffessional. At the checkout, in estimate shipping, does the customer select the sort of shipping that they want?

Much thanks for any help, no matter how small.

I want to do this by price, so what do I put in place of show_weight? I tried display_price and show_price but that just breaks my page.
