Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

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!

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

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

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

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.

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

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.

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

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.

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

This is confusing things:
ZONETABLE to ZONETABLE_POS

Try ZONETABLEPOS and zonetablepos on your cloning ...

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

I installed the 1.1 version of your module, and I created 3 new zone definitions.

But when I go to admin>modules>shipping, there is this php error:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_ZONE_2 in /home/hawkfire/public_html/store/includes/modules/shipping/zonetable.php on line 82

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_ZONE_3 in /home/hawkfire/public_html/store/includes/modules/shipping/zonetable.php on line 82

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_ZONE_4 in /home/hawkfire/public_html/store/includes/modules/shipping/zonetable.php on line 82

what Am I doing wrong?

I got the same trouble with zencart 1.3.7.
You must desintall the zonetable module after define your zones and reinstall it.

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

Hi Surf7

Excellent module!!! Thanks

Thought I would just comment on a potential bug with your newer version that I came across. If you have 2 zones, and then install this module - everything works.

If you then add a third zone and go to configure it, the third area in your config now has no titles.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it all came good again - (ignore the error message that comes up)

Very nice modules - thanks

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

I tried inserting the zonetable.php files per the directory structure and the result is that when I opened my shipping module in the admin area the entire admin section is corrupted.

There were no instructions with the zip file.

Is there some other step required that I missed ?

(running ver 1.3.7)

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

Hi Gang!

This might be exactly the module I am after. PLease correct me if I am wrong. Here is the scenario:

1. The Store is located in USA but re-sells products directly from manufacturers - one located in Malaysia and one in the US. The big target is USA but also shipping worldwide )at least for the Malaysian manufacturer.
2. The Malaysian manufacturer is using DHL to ship worldwide. The USA-based is using FedEx and at least for now, it is only shipping to the USA.
3. The Malaysian manufacturer has products that currently need to be looked up manually in a DHL rate table based on rates. The USA based one has a fixed price per item.

Would this module be suitable for this?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

Hi Surf7!

Thanks for the response. I did install your mod without a problem. But now I am not sure how to actually use it... :-)
In fact to be even more confused - it seems like Zone Rates does the same thing as Zone Table Rates... I am not sure if I get the difference.

I was able, however to set up two different shipping table rates for two different countries in "Zone Rates"...

Thanks!

Gabstero,

The module that I created is using zones that you created in Locations / Taxes > Zones Definitions

But the bundled "Zone Rates" seems to handle countries only. So there is no way you can set different table rates for different states or region in a country.

For example, I wanted to have different table rate for East Malaysia, West Malaysia and International. All I need to do is go to Locations / Taxes > Zones Definitions and set up the zones. Then I will go to "Zones Table Rate" module key in my Shipping Zone 1, Zone 1 Shipping Table, Zone 1 Handling Fee and so on for up to 3 zones.
