Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

[surf7.net]

If you have multiple shipping zones and you are not using this module, you cannot set table rate for more than one zone because the current built in table rate module is limited to only one zone.

I have modified the built in table rate module so that I can set separate table rate for each zones. Enjoy!

Hi,

I am quite new to ZenCart.

How do I configure so user can choose shipping method between East & West Malaysia?

I.e.

West Malaysia
- Pos Daftar
- Pos Laju

East Malaysia
- Pos Daftar
- Pos Laju

[surf7.net]

1) Go to Locations / Taxes > Zones and add all the states in Malaysia.
2) Go to Locations / Taxes > Zone Definitions and click on Insert button.
3) First, key in West Malaysia in the Zone Name field and click on the insert button.
4) After that, with West Malaysia is selected, click on the details button.
5) Then, hit the Insert button to insert the new sub zone. Select Malaysia under the country and all the states you created earlier will appear in Zone drop down menu. Add the state one by one for West Malaysia.
6) Repeat steps 2) to 5) for East Malaysia.
7) Lastly use rates obtain Pos Daftar/Pos Laju and key into this Zones Table Rate.

FYI, you can use either Pos Daftar or Pos Laju in the Zones Table Rate, not both unless you know how to duplicate the Zones Table Rate into another shipping module with different name.

This version automatically generate the number of table rate
you can set based on the number of Zone Definitions you have created.

Also included in this version is the ability to display the name of zone
used to calculate the shipping cost in the front end of the shopping cart.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and tips. Appreciated it.

I've duplicated the module and langauge file and modify accordingly. Changed ALL constant from ZONETABLE to ZONETABLE_POS. E.g. from MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_TEXT_TITLE to MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_POS_TEXT_TITLE.

Whenever I click on "Continue Checkout", the page doesnt move to the next page, but instead staying back at the same page. What goes wrong here?

Please advise.

Cheers,
isaac.

Does it works with the original module?

Please ignore this post, I have found a solution after having read other post in this thread.

Original question: "Hi, how can i increase the number of 'Shipping Zone' from default 4 to 20? could you please advise which file or code to tweak, thank you in advance!!!"

Is this the same shipping module that comes with Zencart that can be installed by clicking "Zone Rates" - install?

If so, can this module be duplicated to create another level of zone tables? Say that courier 1 has a shipping table with zones

Courier 2 also has a shipping table with zones.

I want to give the customer to the shop the option of choosing from courier 1 and courier 2's shipping rates.

Is that achivable by installing this module twice and then setting zones? if not, how is it achievable?

Problem when table method is set to weight

Zencart version 1.37
Zone table rate Mod Version 1.1
my product weights are in grams

My problem is that it is not calculating correctly

I have it set the table method to weight i have the zone1 shipping tale set as

1500:4.95,10000:10.00,15000:15.00

now when i select a product with a weight of 1400 and go to the checkout it comes up with

Zones Table Rate (31 x 49.68lbs)
and the shipping charge shows as $153.45 instead of $10


If i set the table method to price it works fine for defined price ranges, but i would like it to work by weight

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Problem when table method is set to weight


my product weights are in grams

And that was the whole problem,

I had to go to

Configuration --> shipping and packaging

and then set
"Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship" to a sensible amount, the default was 50, and as all my products were in grams Zencart was trying to divide my product up into a lo of 50gm packages, i have changed this to 50000gms (50kg) and the problem has gone


You don't want to know how stupid i feel right now!!

Thanks for a great mod
