Zone Table Rates - do I really have to add all the other countries manually?

[tracyselena]

Hi,
I'm using the zone table rates. It's working beautifully for the first three zones which are Ontario, Canada & US. But the fourth zone is International. Do I really have to manually add each of the countries to this list for it to work?

Thanks Tracy

Nope ...

What you need to do, providing you have the latest version of Zone Rate zones is copy and paste all of your settings into NotePad ...

Uninstall (remove) Zone Rate ...

Make sure that you have Edited the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/zones.php

And change the number of zones from 3 to as many as you need like 4 per the instructions ...

Then use the NEW feature where when you want to set everybody else to another rate than the others that you have defined, just enter the code as:
00

You will know you have the right Zone Rate shipping module as when editing you will see the text:

Set as 00 to indicate all two character ISO country codes that are not specifically defined.

and then set the Rates ...

Voila! all done!

Ekks!! Zone Table Rates ... you mean the add-on not the one that comes with Zen Cart for Zone Rates zones or Table Rate table ...

Not sure if that is part of that code or not ...

You really are
Just been trying to add the zone number to 5.
I have got the e-start book and it didn't mention to change the php code then reinstall the zone module!
You have saved me a lot of hassle!

Hi Ajeh,
Yes I'm looking at the Table Zone Rates add-on module, not the one that comes with Zen-Cart. Reason I have to use that one is that my zones are not defined 100% by country, but instead a combination of province and country and multiple countries.

So having said that ...do you know how I can add all the countries to the "international" zone without manually going though and adding them all?

Thank you. Tracy
