Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

I think it is working

I blindly did what you said. ie :
1. Checked the Tare rates. I didn't understand what it should be (at least at this point of time). So made it 0:0
2. made the rate to 0.250:30,1000:40

But to be very frank I didn't understand. 250 gms is working so why not 1.0 kg ? I mean shouldn't both the weights be of same calibre? as per the current setting its 250 gms and 1000 kg.
Also is there a way to change the unit from lbs to Kg ?

You are being really helpful. Thanks !

Not really without doing other code changes as by default, Zen Cart works with lbs ...

[devyani]

Thanks.
Any input on the .250 Vs 1000 ?

[Ajeh]

What is a products_id for .250 grams?

What is a products_id for 1.0 kg?

Apologies for not being able to reply. Had some family issues. Could not work at all.
Did not get your question.
Did you mean some products that are of weight .250 and some that are 1.0 ?
All books are of weight 0.250; example product id - 981
So if somebody is buying four books, the weight should be 1kg. Not sure if this is what you asked.

From what I can see, your shipping is now working ...

Are there any products that are not calculating the shipping right?

For the lbs to kg, go to your Zen Cart Admin and in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box do a search on:
lb

and select Catalog and click SEARCH ...

This should show you where the defines are for the lb and lbs ... use your template and override directories to customize them ...

[devyani]

Yes it is working ! Just not sure how.
Thanks for the pointer to the developer's tool kit. I am able to look up that too.
I must must admire your patience.
Thanks again

Me again !
Just wanted to update that I managed to change the weight from Lbs to Kg.
And I finally got the right zone table weight rate. Its :

Zone 1 Shipping Table
0.250:20,1:30,2:60,3:90,4:120,1000:999

Zone 1 Shipping Table
0.250:20,1:30,2:60,3:90,4:120,1000:999

Zone 3 Shipping Table
0.250:40,1.0:50,2.0:100,3.0:120,4:160,1000:999

Zone 4 Shipping Table
0.250:45,1.0:85,2.0:150,3.0:250,4:310,1000:999

This is working just perfect . Thanks !
