Big Royal Mail 3.0

[QUOTE=brittainmark;1283879]I cannot see your settings for next day special delivery. Here are mine.


Hello Brittainmark, thanks very much for the settings comparison and the brilliant plugin, complete lifesaver!, here's my config below although I think I've found out what the issue is and might be useful for you guys as reference to some template issues, of course if that is even the case.

I'm using one of picaflor-azul responsive templates from here which is brilliant but I think there's an issue with the shopping cart icon not redirecting to SSL as my site is fully SSL enabled. This seems to cause an issue with your plugin not sending the postage estimate onto paypal express.

I've detailed the issue here just incase anyone else comes across this issue. It's post #94 at bottom of page, anyway thank you very much for your input on this, cheers!

Still cannot see your configuration. you need to select it from the web browser before you click edit. It appears that you have not set expires date, minimum or maximum values. However I do not think the issue is here.
Check out your configuration file. Found in YOURSITE/includes/configure.php

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://your.server.here');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

I think you need to change the ENABLE_SSL to 'true'

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://your.server.here');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

This is not definite juts a hunch.

Those settings you mention are correct, I built ZC clean from 1.5.4. Just double checked against this official doc for SSL enabling your site and all appears correct. http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...sl-in-zen-cart

Just pulling my hair out :) It's a bit of a weird one, it seems when you add item to cart and do a quick checkout with paypal express without login as a guest, it show's the correct estimate shipping added to the total, then hit checkout which passes over to the paypal page which has the total but no postage and packaging.

If you're logged in and checkout, it works fine. I think I'll try build another test site and go through the whole process but without the Sheffield Blue Responsive template installed, just using default classic template so at least I can rule out a possible custom template issue.

Just wonder if you've used that type of configuration on 1.5.4 with paypal express, checkout as guest without login to see if it passes on P&P?

Any way, I'll keep you and others informed, hopefully something really silly my end.

Cheers and thanks for your help.

Hello Mark, thanks for the new update for BRM 3.3.0. I've just tried to cleanly reinstall BRM on ZC 1.5.4, copied over the *.images, *.includes to root of store overwriting the existing files. Logged in admin and enabled and configured two shipping methods. Ran RemoveAll.sql to completely cleanup any old data.

Followed your instruction docs and ran Install3.2.sql to import records, which went fine then tried to import your new 2015Update.sql which wont work, tried copy/paste and import methods into SQL Query Editor. It just throws me out of the site to a blank screen. Basically http 500 internal error, all other SQL scripts work fine except the new 2015Update.sql.

Sorry Finger trouble put the wrong version of the SQL file in the zip.
The error is on line 317 it reads

 Europe Airmail Letter */

it should read

/*  Europe Airmail Letter */

I'll correct the zip file and repost.

Thanks Mark, that's brilliant! Imported and working fine now. Also thanks for the PM too, have tested the process flow from paypal express checkout back to ZC store and it's applying the postage perfectly afterwards.

I've reposted the helpful link you've found below for any future reference.


Just a helpful reminder note for anyone else as quoted by DrByte on Paypal express checkout - shipping/paypal payment process flow in case you're blindsided like me and concerned it wasn't working :)

In Zen Cart 1.3.x, a customer clicking the EC shortcut button on the shopping cart page will go to PayPal's site to select a funding choice AND THEN return to YOUR store where all the shipping and tax information is properly calculated using all the available address information.

If they use the normal checkout flow and choose PayPal on the checkout-payment page, then all the required address/tax information is already provided and thus when the customer is directed to PayPal for funding choices all that information is presented on the PayPal screen at that time.

Thanks again Mark, cheers!

Hi Mark,

Great module sir! I have installed it successfully.
However my shipping is not being calculated correctly. Can you help?

My items in my store are listed as grams in weight not lbs.
Can your module Big Royal Mail work with this?

If so please can you tell me how, what I need to change?
Also can you explain to me how to set the -

Shipping rates to GB & Northern Ireland
Example: 0.1:1.14 means weights less than or equal to 0.1 Kg would cost £1.14.

My items weigh eg. 127grams 1200grams and so on.

Thanks
Tony

P.S. In laymans terms please.

Hi Phill, Yes the module works in KG not Lbs so you will need to change the Shipping rates to GB & Northern Ireland to grams from kilograms this means multiplying the weight by 1000. The weight is the figure before the colon ":". Each set of weight and price is separated by a comma ",". There for for Royal Mail 1st Class "Medium Parcel" the new rates line will be

1000:5.65, 2000:8.9, 5000:15.85, 10000:21.9, 20000:33.4

This translates as for 0 to 1000g charge £5.65
for 1001g to 2000g charge £8.90
for 2001g to 5000g charge £15.85
for 5001g to 10000g charge £21.90
for 10001g to 20000g charge £33.40

Hope that helps

Hi

I have BRM 3.3.0 installed on zen cart 1.5.4. I've installed

Royal Mail 1st Class "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.0

Royal Mail International Standard "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.0

Royal Mail International Tracked EU "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.0

Royal Mail International Tracked "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.0

Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.0


Next I ran Install3.2.sql. I am not using attributes for shipping. I also changed the language files from lbs to Kg.

Should I also run the files: UpdateFrom3.2.sql, 2015Update.sql ?


This is the first time I've set up shipping with this module and I'm having a problem getting this to work for me. Testing shipping to US this is what I get. There are no rates provided and as you can see there are duplicates.

Royal Mail 1st Class "Small Parcel" (GB & Northern Ireland only for this service)
Royal Mail International Standard "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)
Royal Mail International Standard "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)
Royal Mail International Tracked "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)
Royal Mail International Tracked "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)
Royal Mail International Tracked EU "Small Parcel" (Not available for this destination.)
Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)
Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed "Small Parcel" (The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time)


Also can you tell me please if there are zones that should be installed? I did install uk counties.sql from the plugin section but now wondering if that was the thing to do.

thanks for any help on this.

EDIT:

as sometimes happens, the minute I post, I get an idea. The other day I read about setting tare to 0:0 and now I am getting rates to display. Is there a way to get this to work and also be able to set a tare weight?

Still wondering about the zones too
