[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[barricades]

I've done the changes for World Zone 10 (USA) if anyone's interested but only for datapost.

In admin>modules>shipping>international datapost>edit then go to the box for World zone 10 and replace the prices/weights with:

0.50:43.99, 1.00:47.79, 1.50:51.59, 2.00:55.39, 2.50:59.19, 3.00:61.79, 3.50:64.39, 4.00:66.99, 4.50:69.59, 5.00:72.19, 5.50:75.09, 6.00:77.99, 6.50:80.89, 7.00:83.79, 7.50:86.69, 8.00:89.59, 8.50:92.49, 9.00:95.39, 9.50:98.29, 10.00:101.19, 10.50:103.79, 11.00:106.39, 11.50:108.99, 12.00:111.59, 12.50:114.19, 13.00:116.79, 13.50:119.39, 14.00:121.99, 14.50:124.59, 15.00:127.19, 15.50:129.49, 16.00:131.79, 16.50:134.09, 17.00:136.39, 17.50:138.69, 18.00:140.99, 18.50:143.29, 19.00:145.59, 19.50:147.89, 20.00:150.19, 20.50:152.49, 21.00:154.79, 21.50:157.09, 22.00:159.39, 22.50:161.69, 23.00:163.99, 23.50:166.29, 24.00:168.59, 24.50:170.89, 25.00:173.19, 25.50:175.49, 26.00:177.79, 26.50:180.09, 27.00:182.39, 27.50:184.69, 28.00:186.99, 28.50:189.29, 29.00:191.59, 29.50:193.89, 30.00:196.19

then update and it's sorted.

If anyone's bothered doing the rest of them and feels like sharing it'd be appreciated :)

If anyone does have the other figures, or the spreadsheet then I can always recopile the zip file and upload an updated module for everyone else.

Problem is that they get updated each year to so 1st of april 2009 they change again.

[barricades]

thats true, but at the same time people who use parcelforce do need to have the correct prices.

Perhaps people would be willing to do parts, if there was enough of us it would be dead easy.

I'm up for it, anyone else?

[philip_clarke]

I'm releasing some security software this weekend (probably Sunday), after I've done that I'll be a little freer to have a look at the module. I could probably just release a parcelforce patch, or maybe the time has come to split the modules up a bit, if someone can just dig out the current spreadsheet showing zones and prices etc... it would help speed me up as I'll have to configure a test server anyway since I don't use them myself.

Also, what I heard recently. they are supposed to be hiking the price up quite a bit this year so, anyone using RM should make sure they are ready to change these in a hurry, as it may end up costing you.

As I've said, I have a little time to do programming for the new prices, and I will get it done, what I do not have is the time to go and look for new price information on the royalmail website. But If someone sends me direct links I will sort out a new moudle before the price change and then no-one will have a problem.

No worries, just a little bit of work for everyone, and the heads up that it may just be larger than a few pence this time.

I read it on another forum and they were mentioning something like a little over twenty five percent rise on UK postage.

Most of us will be making the changes, so if we copy and paste what we have up here for everyone else, it may make life a little easier.

Also if someone has a friend that works in a post office, they will get the price changes quite a while before hand, I seen the last rise about three weeks before they came out, as the guy that used to run the local post office was busy reading them.

And thanks for the PM

This is what is showing up in google in the error notification

Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Invalid value for attribute value in checkout-shopping-cart/shopping-cart/items/item/item-weight: Must be at least 0.0
Warnings: XML failed to validate against the schema at line: 14, column: 14, with error: cvc-minInclusive-valid: Value '-2.9' is not facet-valid with respect to minInclusive '0.0E1' for type '#AnonType_valueItemWeight'.
XML failed to validate against the schema at line: 14, column: 14, with error: cvc-attribute.3: The value '-2.9' of attribute 'value' on element 'item-weight' is not valid with respect to its type, 'null'.

The problem may just be that I have not set up any flat rate postage, as I am still working out where that goes.

But thanks to your other post I am a lot further forward than I have been for ages with this.

Thanks again

Right, first rule of debugging, ask the obvious.

Do your products in your catalog have weight ?
If you attempt to buy that EXACT shopping cart through another method, does royal mail work ?
Have you set up the percentage weight thing correctly in admin > configuration > shipping/ packaging >Package Tare... (I use 10%:0)

With so many unspecified variables, you try to narrow the search down to a cart that works, so even temporarily putting COD as a payment menthod, may get you to a stage where you can see royalmail working, then you repeat the steps with google.
