Highly commendable update, it is exactly what we are looking to do with our site.
Just tried it on our 1.50 cart. Looks good but I have a few complications. Before I uninstall it, I thought you may be able to help make it work on my UK site.
Main problem is the postcode part. As we use uk postcodes, it does not appear recognise them. It displays store pickup and local delivery options on all sales; not just the products set as local in admin. I can only think that this is because it is not designed for uk postcodes.
Just a couple of other things...
There was no inclusion of english files for either of the shipping mods. Luckily our site had the store pickup already so I created a local delivery version from that.
On the initial test, I could see all shipping options appear when an item was supposed to local only. After scratching my head, the only place I could think may be causing the issue could be in the functions_general.php.
In the function_general.php, I noticed that you had created the following code:
PHP Code:
// if product is local delivery only - disable zones
case ($check_cart_local and $shipping_module == 'zones'):
return false;
break;
// if product is local delivery only - disable table rates
case ($check_cart_local_table and $shipping_module == 'table'):
return false;
break;
This is where I found the problem. Our site uses many shipping mods. However, we do not use zones or tables. So I duplicated the code for all my other mods just by changing (== 'zones') to (== 'ukpost') or whatever the shipping mod fuction is called etc. Perhaps this information could be added to the help file.
My only other concern was my Royal Mail Mod. It is required to be listed correctly with the ISO codes. While the codes are present, so is the mod on all sales including being displayed on local only products. Remove the codes and it removes the whole mod from all products. It would work better if it uses the "all zones" method like all the other shipping mods. Not your problem so I'll see if there is a different version that may work better.
Perhaps you could confirm before I uninstall it; if it will be able to cope with uk postcodes in any future updates.
Many thanks and good work
Robert
