Wrong shipping estimate (UK)

[LoSpaccone]

hi,

i've installed 1.3.5 of zencart- and so far so good in getting it set up for uk.

successfully converted lbs to kg - thanks to some threads on here...

now, my problem is with the shipping estimate. i am using 'table rates' only and have these quantities in place:

.10:2.00,.25:1.27,.5:1.7,.75:2.2,1.0:2.7,1.50:4.95 ,2.00:5.31,4.00:7.7,6.00:8.74,8.00:9.97,10.00:10.7 ,26.00:12.46

now, when i click on 'estimate shipping' from basket - for an item that weighs 10kg, it tells me the price of shipping is: £5.66

i have no idea where it got this figure from, as according to the table rate setup, it should be charging '£10.70'.

i have the packaging tare for large and small set to 0:0.

any ideas???

many thanks in advance

Actually, just realised, zen cart is displaying all my prices in the shop as half their proper price...

eg

£1,is being displayedas 0.53


hmmmm

You problem, may be you are still using USD as default or setup not correct.

I have already checked the currency exchange today.
There is $ 1 USD = £ 0.532595 GBP

1. In tha admin, have you setup and update the currency correctly?

2. Have you change the default setting for your default currency?

3. What is your currency code in the file:
includes/languages/english.php

Note: For any modification(s), please use override! And refer to other docs about how to use override.

And in line no. 43 (zc v1.3.5)

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)
  define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

If you are using one language for "english" and use GB Pound as default, then try to change the above line for currecy code.

The steps:
1. copy the above file of english.php from:
includes/languages/english.php

2. save it to your override directory
includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

3. In the new file change the currency code:
from:

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

to:

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

.

Hi,
Have you tried using the UK Template which is linked elsewhere on this forum - it's an addon which takes care of adjusting most things to make them "UK Friendly"! Such as Currency, UK Counties, etc.
