MZMT MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping [Support Thread]

[kobra]

Create your zone in admin > localization/taxes > zone definitions

After this select it and in the left side box pick "details" then insert.

Select the country from the drop as United Kingdom and then your only choice for zone in this area is "All Zones"

If this is not sufficient for your needs you will have to create them in zones - see the ones for Austrailia there

Thanks again, I will take a look and let you know how I get on.

Hey There

I have this sorted now and it was my misunderstanding of the zones that caused the problem. I now have the geo zones setup and the actual zones as children of the geo-zones so everything is working as it should. (phew!)

But... and isn't there always a but - I now have another problem.

When a user registers, they enter address and then submit the form. It then throws an error and tells them to enter the state from a newly available drop down list and when they do this it allows them to submit the form.

This is ok, I can live with that to achieve the multi geo zone shipping functionality but now if a user tries to edit their address it does not let them. The form does not show the drop down states box and a submission causes the form to error and the user gets stuck as even after an error the states box is not shown.

Any one else had this problem and managed to overcome it?

Cheers (again)

Hey All

I have installed the Multi Zone Multi Table shipping module and it works great for what is supposed to do but I have hit a few small problems:

1 - When a user signs up the list of states is not shown till they choose country and submit the form. It then throws an error and asks them to submit a state.

2 - A user can not edit there address as it never displays the list of states and the form just errors each time you try to make a change.

Ok, we can live with number one, that is ok but number two needs sorting. Now, I am pretty sure that it is the mzmt module that has broken this but I am unsure how to fix it.

Any ideas?

P.S. I searched the whole board and this forum for an answer but could not find anything. Thanks again! Mac

You can simulate this by signing up and then trying to change your address. It allows you to select country but then tells you that you have not selected a country.

Very odd.

It is running in a *nix environment, all pretty standard stuff as far as I can tell.

You are a star kobra, you always answer my threads, If I can help you or your business in anyway for the help you have given me then I would be more than happy to.

Thanks again!

What Version of Zen Cart?

The country dropdown was an issue I think in 1.3.5 but I am not sure if it was at this screen??

Zen Cart 1.3.7

Database Patch Level: 1.3.7

v1.3.7 [2007-07-09 12:35:54] (Fresh Installation)

Looking your template looks to be one based upon a template monster layout - is this correct?

CHeck the files that were with this template that may be of an older version as they are noted for this

[Mac 30 UK]

Ahh, that sounds plausible. I did find it curious that the versions on these templates seem to just jump up versions as they need to. I guess they test with the basic functionality and if all is ok then they up the version number. A bit naughty really.

I have had a pretty bad run of it with this template as it goes and my big push after getting this done is to figure out how to completely redesign them myself as this black void of knowledge with regards to how everything works is all pretty annoying.

So... if I download the latest version and compare some files such as 'tbl_modules_create_account.php' & 'tpl_account_edit_default.php' from the 'includes/templates/<my template/templates/ then I could attempt to update them from and see if it fixes the issue?

Well, I will give that a go, and report back. If anyone has any suggestions that would be ace and thanks to all that have contributed to helping me with this problem. I am building up knowledge and should hopefully be able to give something back to the community soon. :)

Cheers again all
