Zone Rates

If I am not mistaken, Zone Rates creates a confusion with the rates by ZONES.

From what I see, the module rates by ZONES are actually rates by COUNTRY GROUPS. Ok, zones at all.

But in ZENCART, ZONES are provinces or regions of each country. Thus, if one creates SUBZONES to indicate different taxes or rates, cannot be used in these rates.

I need different taxes/ shipping prices both by groups of countries ( could be use the module ZONE RATES ), but in a specific case, by regions ( REAL ZENCHART ZONES ) of the same country.

I tried to create SUBZONES as groups of ZENCART ZONES / ZENCART COUNTRIES. But this is the problem. Can't be called from the module ZONE RATES.

How can I structure this ?

Thank you.

You are correct that the built-in Zones shipping module is based on countries, not regions within countries.

Check the Zone Rates Clone plugin and see if that meets your needs.

Thanks for answering so quickly.

I incremented yesterday the NUMZONE in the ZONE RATES module, to add more groups of countries as the transport company uses. This is perfect for group the countries as their rates.

If I am following right the flow, the CLONE ZONE RATES would add more groups of countries what not solve the problem of regions only of 1 country.

This is... what could solve the problem is to clone the TABLE RATE for different groups of regions of same country. Not to clone ZONE RATES that adds more options only for countries, not for regions.

As example, the TAX RATES does exactly with the taxes, what I need to do with the shipping rates. I can create groups of regions of 1 country, or groups of countries.

If I'm not mistaken, is there another way ?

The Zone Rates Clone goes down to the Zone Definition (Geo Zone) level. I think this will do what you want.

a) Create a Zone Definition with the regions you want:

b) Try the Zone Rates clone, and add those Zone Definitions.

Then test carefully.

I have the spanish module installed. I change in Admin to english.

I installed the table rates clone and the right screen where the detail of the shipping modes was opened disappeared.

I saw that the modules were installed when it was installed.

No problem, I restore backup copies of the web and the database and everything is fine again.

I first uninstall the modules zone rates and rate tables.

I install again the zone tarif clone and then the same thing happens again. I see that I do not have the files in the directories indicated by the installation:

"the files:
/includes/modules/shipping/zones1.php
/includes/modules/shipping/zones2.php
/includes/modules/shipping/zones3.php
/includes/modules/shipping/zones4.php
/includes/modules/shipping/zones5.php

and the files:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones1.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones2.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones3.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones4.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones5.php

will be added to your files."


I change to Admin in spanish. The detail block of the shipping methods appears again. But when I install the modules from there (in Spanish), I don't see any changes compared to the non-cloning mode.

I reactivate the Admin in English and the detail part of the shipping methods disappears from the screen again.

I'm not really following what you are doing regarding shipping as I use Advanced Shipper for everything.

But, if you are using the spanish language pack:
1) Always use the version from GitHub and watch the repository to get notifications about bugs.
2) When you add anything to your site that has additional /english language files, you must mirror the same files in /spanish. And you will have to convert them to utf-8 once you have an accented character in them.

Please contribute your improvements!

I can't find the ZONES ( regions of countries ) in the SQL database. In any case the rest are in UTF8.
When I copy the updated english php files to the spanish directory, the effect then is that the faill happens in both languages. Not only in english:



Then I can't reinstall the zone modules.
