Version 1.5 is now available to download directly here

http://bouncing.org/big_royalmail_v1.5.zip

and will shortly be in the downloads section of this site. Couple of bug fixes including the number of boxes error, improved method of removing invalid shipping options from the shipping estimator, e.g. hiding Airmail values from British residents. Documentation now in the Docs folders. Changes from the beta include a couple of upgrade scripts that should be run by all users. If upgrading from v1.3 this is normally just a straight overwrite as no variables have been added to the database, but some text has been changed in the admin section which does require a sql patch. If upgrading DO NOT remove and install unless you realise that you will loose all of your setting for handling fees etc... unless you follow the upgrade instructions.

I just wanted to let you know I have had chance to look over the latest version of the contribution and you have done a splendid job of integrating all the changes.

Well done that man. :)

Yes, thank you, this looks really good - and no one's replied (I guess) because no one's found any issues yet

Hi There

Been reading this thread with interest today as setting store to ship worldwide. Can you tell me does this module allow you to switch off certain postage options for certain goods. I don't mean Airmail for UK as you have already coded that in. (What a star!)

I only want to offer 2nd class options not 1st class in UK.

Note on insurance:
I would advise write something into Shipping/Returns and T & C. State clearly what insurance is on all types of shipping. I offer a 30 day money back including actual cost return post, but only up to the maximum of insurance on shipping option chosen. That way customer has choice to take risk or not. If you use paypal you may want to insist on tracking though for seller protection.

Probably advise putting remeinder to read t & c & shipping policy on top of basket as well together with line that if complete transaction deemed to have read, understood and accepted.

Installing 1.5:

Quick question as bit of newbie. Where do I find shopping cart directory? Do I install as an overide rather than overwrite?

Cheers

Oh yes, every shipping can be turned off or just not installed and it won't display on the user's screen.

Would you like me to add 2nd class signed for services just for you ? in the next release. won't be a problem

ow that's not a newbie question ! and the answer depends on what you are doing. Are you currently overriding anything ? if you are then the chances are that you will have to overwrite you tpl_shipping_estimar.... page in your custom template folder. If not though you could in theory use it as an an override, but I would overwrite the default (after backing up). If you upgrade and they pretty up the estimator, then it would rewrite over my version which would be a good thing, because I cannot obviously guarantee that a v1.3.5 ZC estimator would work with an upgraded zencart. To find the file you need to upgrade, I personally look for all versions in includes templates and then right a html comment <!-- this one number 1 --> for each one, then look in the html until I find it, I know there's a whole variety of ways e.g. looking at admin and which template is set and then going to that folder, but I've always found it quicker this way.

Thanks
Philip.

I was wondering about that myself, although there was a double episode of Lost on this week.....

That would be outstanding!!

Currently developing offline and have my own template set up, together with appropriate overide folders in other directories. So do I put the images in template (images) or as I suspect is it a different path where I would need an overide folder. If so what is the pathway I need to follow.


Sorry to be a pain

2nd class signed for, no problem at all, now that things seem stable I am working on a UK 3 zone based courier service module for people to customise themselves for version 2.0

Ahhh, no you won't have a problem the images should not overwrite anything at all and should just pop into the icons folder. The includes shouldn't overwrite either, its only the tpl_shipping.... file that you may want to overwrite if you are going to show people estimates for shipping, because the one that is in the ZC distribution is a table based layout with borders and cellpadding visible which doesn't match anything else.

Right all gone a bit weird now although it's probably the old ID 10 T error.

This is what I did:
images - in admin/images/icons
php files in - includes/languages/english/modules/shipping & & includes/modules/shipping


Went back to admin & shipping modules. Screen was filled with script (screenshot attached) pressed install and got error messages and screen full of script again

Help!
