MZMT MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping [Support Thread]

[augustlately]

I have multi zones set up for first class and priority with USPS. How do I make it so that my customers can only use first class up to a certain order amount and priority (zone 2) is the only option once the order goes over $10?

I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Hi...

I posted this earlier in the shipping area, only to find out that I should post this question in the contribution area.

I have a cart 3.6 that is running the multi-geozone module. When you click on the cart's shipping estimator after adding a product, it brings up the following errors:
(Please note that I have removed the actual domain path for security reasons, but if anyone has any insight or needs to look, I'm glad to PM the path)

Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_4_TEXT_TITLE in /web/home/path/to/doamin.com/htdocs/includes/modules/shipping/mzmt.php on line 67

Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_4_TABLE_1_TEXT_WAY in /web/home/path/to/doamin.com/htdocs/includes/modules/shipping/mzmt.php on line 125

Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_4_ICON in /web/home/path/to/doamin.com/htdocs/includes/modules/shipping/mzmt.php on line 134
Shipping Estimate:

While if you fill in the blanks for the shipping estimator, it actually works, but I keep getting these errors, and they keep repeating. I've been trying for over a month to figure out what went wrong. It worked previously, then suddenly these errors showed up. Not sure if someone changed any settings in the admin, but I actually went into the admin to see if I could make any adjustments or if there were any settings that were wrong, and I haven't found anything. I also tried re-installing the estimator and the mzmt module, and still receive the same errors. Does anyone know how I can keep these errors from showing up on the shipping estimator? I'd be glad to list the domain and url to test and desperate for help on this one.

Thanks always for your help.

When you extended the number of Zones that you are using, did you update the language file to match them, per the instructions?

[kinget]

Ah....I see. Thank you. I didn't originally install that module into the cart, and don't have the instructions and couldn't find it in the archives. Strange, because it had worked previously when the cart was first set up. Is there a copy I can download? so I know how to add that in, and that would probably fix it, then...thanks so much for your help.

I have given up. Zen cart is not that easy to set up when one enconter an error, and the support on the forum here is not that good. Its a "fix it your self or wait for an update" or something.

When i was new to phpnuke and later dragonfly i always got a lot of support and help from the support forums, but it seems like there is not enough people on this project that can help the newbies that is trying to set this thing up.

Does it have something to do with this?

"Lastly, there is a limit of 255 characters on each of the Zone Shipping Tables and Zone Countries. This can be changed in the database to suit your needs."

Probably does.

Try this:

update configuration change configuration_value configuration_value text;

Your database will be a lot larger now, but if the 255-char limit is the cause, you should be free of it.

I think this is the solution you're looking for:

I'm having a hard time getting this module going. Finally got all the error messages cleared up from not adding the defines etc. but I can't get it to work with my zone definitions. It works great with the geo_zones that came with the module using the three tables I created in MultiGeoZone MultiTable so it's not the way I configured the tables. It's just not assigning these tables to the zone definitions I created myself in Admin/Locations-Taxes/Zone Definitions.

I used Shp: before each Zone Name in my Zone definitions and I added the country and zone for each. But when I assign that particular zone definition to my tables in modules/shipping/MultiGeoZone MultiTable nothing shows up in on the shipping page. If I then select the US 48 states of the zone definitions that came with the module in the drop down everything shows up on the shipping page with the numbers I have in my tables.

It's so frustrating! Do I dump it all and try again? If so, can I do this from phpMYAdmin without having to restore my site with a backup. I've done a lot of other changes since adding the MZMT module that would take me forever to redo. If I drop geo_zones and zones_to_geo_zones from in my database is that all that was added or changed when installing this mod?

Thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

Did a clean install of zen-cart and the MZMT shipping module in another database and still it's not working. It works with the geo_zones that came with the module. Can't for the life of me figure out what the difference is between those and the zone definitions I create through admin. It's pretty simple to set up zones and zone definitions. Doesn't make any sense. I added the defines for additonal zones in includes/languages/english/modules/shippingmzmt.php file.

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_3_TEXT_TITLE', '');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_3_ICON', '');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_3_TABLE_1_TEXT_WAY', '');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_3_TABLE_2_TEXT_WAY', '');
define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_3_TABLE_3_TEXT_WAY', '');

Copied and pasted enough of these for all my additional tables by changing the 3 to the number of the other geozones. Is there something else I'm supposed to change too??????

Am I supposed to change something in the the includes/modules/shipping/mzmt.php file?

I assign my zone definitions and nothing.....

I'm ready to throw my hands up and look for another shipping module. Please, for those of you who have gotten this to work what am I missing?

Thanks so much,

Lisa

Hi..not sure if this is the right place to ask this question...what a huge forum! But thanks to Dreamscape for the great MZMT shipping mod..I would have had to abandon Zen without it:-) Very new to this tho and I managed to get the MZMT mod working great..I know this has to be simple as only one other asked it last year, but how do I change the order so that MZMT does its shipping calculation AFTER all other discounts, or deductions have been applied to the base price in checkout? I dont understand all the order fields in the different options everywhere..do you put in 1..a 100 or what? I cant find any info on this and foirgive me as I know it must be basic:-) Thanks
