Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

[barendfaber]

Hi there,

I am using version 1.3.9, for some reason, even though I followed the instructions for installation perfect, this module simply does not show up under my shipping modules. This is the last thing outstanding before we can go live, does anyone know what may have happened?

When a shipping module does not show up, check that you have installed the components correctly ...

The code for the shipping module goes to:
/includes/modules/shipping

The language file for the shipping module goes to:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

[Ajeh]

Note: the filenames need fixing

zonetableCourier (goes in Modules).php
is really
/includes/modules/shipping/zonetableCourier.php

zonetableCourier (goes in Languages).php
is really
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zonetableCourier.php

If I had three criteria for shipping — Zone (state/country), Table (price range), and Speed (ground, next day, etc.) — would I be able to clone this module for that purpose?

[TerranRich]

In other words, have ZoneTableGround only available for Zone 1 customers and have its own Table Rate schedule, ZoneTable2DayAir for Zone 2 customers only, etc. Is that doable?

Hi! I've noticed through reading this thread that this is an effective shipping module that works for a lot of folks, but it's not working for me.

Forgive me in advance, I am dealing with someone else's zen cart build and am relatively unfamiliar with the inner workings of zen cart in general.

I'm running v1.3.8a with zone table v1.1. Other add-ons I've added are Fast and Easy Checkout v1.8 and CSS/JS Loader. To my knowledge those are the only supplemental modules/plugins.

Within the admin shipping module edit area, when I have Zone Table Rate selected (green) with a sort order of zero, everything else disabled and removed, 2 strange things are happening. I'm getting this text at the top of the admin page highlighted in yellow:

Warning Shipping Configuration errors!
Warning: 0 weight is configured for Free Shipping and Free Shipping Module is not enabled

This doesn't make sense to me as I have literally removed all .php files in the /includes/modules/shipping directory to avoid any confusion. Yes, a free shipping module used to reside there.

The other strange thing is that the zone table shipping option does not show up on the checkout page at all. All it says under the shipping field is: "Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements."

I know it's a lot, but if someone could point me in the right direction, or even the right thread, it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit the setting in Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and turn off the 0 weight means Free shipping ...

Thanks, Ajeh.

Now the admin error is gone, but I'm still getting the message in the shopping cart as mentioned before. And if I try to push through to checkout, it asks me in a red error message to "Please Select Shipping method", when there was no list to pick from.

Strange.

Thanks, Ajeh.

Make sure that you do not have Zones blocking your shipping from working ...
