[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[scottrdj]

Help! A customer from germany sent an e-mail to let me know that the checkout was sticking on page 1. Afetr searching through the posts I saw the underscore answer above. I updated the file to remove the underscore and ran the sql patches bat this did not change anything. Thought I would bite the bullet and reinsatll the full module with the correct filenames. I have done this but in admin modules shipping no Royal mail options are showing up at all now. Am I missing something?

scottrdj,

We also had the problems with checkout pages sticking at step 1, although for us the reason wasn't due to the Royal Mail module, but rather that at the end of some of the checkout PHP files, there were a couple of empty lines in the code. This gave us a "Header already sent out" error, which caused the problem.

There is a module at the ZC site, with which you can output your PHP errors - unfortunately I can't seem to find it now, but I think it was created by Dr. Byte. Have a search for it, it's very useful to track down small errors.

right everything is fine for the uk, i have just had a customer on the phone he does not have a shipping option from northern Ireland ? how do i insert zones manually , i have read the ukzr installation.pdf that comes with the moduel, but i dont know how to install them

Zone 1 you should have United Kingdom and Scotland, Wales and England if you have
Scotland, Wales & England installed. The easy way to tell this is to try and buy something and
check is Scotland, Wales or England appear in the drop down ( i only have the uk)

For Zone 2 you should have insert these zones manually: (as mentioned above there is no way to
predicating which ones you have installed i.e. “Ross & Cromarty” as one zone or seperately as
“Ross-shire” and “Cromartyshire”). ( i dont understand how too ?)

i cant add a subzone as the country doesnt appear in the drop down , if i try to add norther Ireland as a country it asks for ISO CODE 2 and ISO CODE 3 and ADDRESS FORMAT how do i find out what the isocode 2 and iso code 3 are ?

same for Scottish highlands.

Steve I am just running into a few issues with the postal zones myself. I have got the cart running and practically configured without having to resort to additional help, I find I learn the subject better that way. I have to admit defeat on the zones however as the shipping estimator is reporting errant charges. Here is my background. This module has helped greatly with my setup which I am concentrating on the UK only at the moment.

I have all the countries listed and they include, UK, England, Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland, RO Ireland, Isle of Man and the Scilly Isles.

I have the UK zone with everyone in the UK listed except RO Ireland. These places are then repeated in additional zones for their respective areas, England, Scotland, Wales, Cannel Islands, N. Ireland, RO Ireland, and Isle of Man.

OK the Zone definitions, are set up as per the instructions I think
UKZR: Zone 1: United Kingdom, Scotland, England, Wales. all set to "all zones"
UKZR: Zone 2: Scotland, with all the outer regions specified AND because they are also listed in the United Kingdom list there is a duplicate list with the same outer regions of Scotland in the Country "United Kingdom"
UKZR: Zone 3: Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Isle of Scilly with "all zones"

OK when I use the shipping estimator I get the following:

Country: United Kingdom, State Province: Glasgow - UK Zone 1 and the correct fee.

Country: Scotland, State Province: Glasgow - UK Zone 1 and the correct fee.

Country: United Kingdom, State Province: Bute - UK Zone 1 and the wrong fee.
(the Bute region is in my zone 2 listing with Scotland and United Kingdom countries)

Country: Scotland State Province: Bute - UK Zone 2 and the correct fee.

So clearly there is something wrong with my logic and I would appreciate some input to correct my error.

Naturally I can see where the errors are coming from, but I thought there was some logic looking at the zones when it's conducting the calculations?? I don't really know so I will stop before I make a fool of myself

Thanks in advance.
