ZipShip - Support Thread

[oavs]

I used to use auspostcode Shipping UK Postcode Shipping version 1.3 Modified for australian postcodes by Alan McKenney - www.alphaweb.com.au. It died.

Luckly found Zip Code. I have couple of questions:

1: Where does the post codes entered in admin are stored? what is the file called so I can save it.
2. In Australia we have 4 digit post codes (zipcodes) , do I need to change line

if ($zipcode_table === '00000') {

to 4 digit

if ($zipcode_table === '0000') {

will it make any difference? Min value already set to 4 digit.
3. Is there a way I can hard code the post codes in postcodes (ZipCodes)? I was able to do that in auspostcode. See below

//NSW STARTS HERE        
        if ($i == 2) {
          $default_postcodes ='2740,2741';
          $default_value = '100:19.95,10000:0.00';
          $description = 'NSW';
        }

//QLD STARTS HERE        
        if ($i == 3) {
          $default_postcodes ='4000,4001';
          $default_value = '100:8.95,10000:0.00';
          $description = 'QLD';
        }

etc etc;. up to 18 Zones. I have tried changing ' $default_postcodes' to ' $default_zipcodes' but did not work

Currently I have 18 zones working with ZipCode without the zone descriptions.


4. I have 18 zones, how can I name each individual zones so I can see the zone names in admin in order to identy when making changes. Again this was possible in auspostcode.

5. I need to make certain items below a certain amount of free shipping to certain postcodes.


This was possible in auspostcode like

if ($shipping == -1) {
          $shipping_cost = 0;
          $shipping_method = MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSPOSTCODE_UNDEFINED_RATE;
        } else {

How can I make say a local postcode 4214 and order is over $100.00 to show 'Enjoy orders above $100 shipped FREE to your area' and add no shipping?




in auspostcode in languages English Mod Shipping >

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSPOSTCODE_UNDEFINED_RATE', '<span style="color: grey; font-weight:bold;" >Enjoy orders above $100 shipped FREE to your area</span>'); 
\

I appreciate if someone has a solution for the above

1. The post/zip code list(s) are stored in the database. You can change from the default of 3 zones by editing the zipship.php shipping-method (as identified in its readme).
2. No need to change that '00000' to '0000', it's just a marker value (since that's not normally a valid zipcode).
3. No need to 'hardcode', the zipcodes are configuration settings.
4. There's currently no support to "name" each selection.
5. ZipShip isn't as fancy as auspostcode: there are no free-shipping considerations.

Oh no.. this is a heart breaker. No free shipping?.
I hope someone can come up with solution. This is really really needed. Damn so close yet so far away.

Still a great module :-)
