Region Tables 1.0.0 Released!

[conor]

Hi Andy,

How are you?

I've noted that this contrinbution allows for calculation on price and weight - but not quantity... is that right?

That's right.

We've a new shipping module coming out this week though that supersedes this module and does allow you to set up rates per item rather than simply weight/price.

we are developing a replacement for Region Tables called "Advanced Shipper" which we hope to release soon.

Is there an expected release date yet for this replacement mod.?

Thanks,
Steve

I've emailed Connor about the following issue, not realising he would be on holiday for so long! So I'm wondering if anyone else can help..

Simply put, my client wishes to enable free shipping to a list of UK postcodes, but ONLY when the order total is above £10

I thought this would be easy peasy to solve, but I was just wrong...

I tested the table rate as 10.00:5.00,99999999999:0.00, which obviously still displays when the order is under £10.00.
It did get me wondering, how I could the module to only display when the order was above that price.

Has anyone come across a similar issue? Ive got a feeling this would involve a fat load of coding to correct.

Thanks,
Tom

By any chance - does this module allow for different shipping options per vendor?

Hi Tom,

Well, I was off ill for 3 months so two weeks away seemed fair enough. ;)

I tested the table rate as 10.00:5.00,99999999999:0.00, which obviously still displays when the order is under £10.00.

What you'd be looking for is a way to say "disable this module for certain ranges". Eg:

10:-,*:0.00

(Where "-" would mean "disable method". "*" can be used instead of large numbers like 9999999 by the way! :) ).

The module doesn't have that option because no-one has ever asked for it. Why would a store deliver only if the order was over a certain value? Why not accept orders of any value but simply charge large shipping fees for small orders?

My guess is this is because you are using more than one shipping module and you are trying to configure the Region Tables module to only allow a free shipping option for a few postcode regions in addition to your standard rates. That's fair enough if you are but Region Tables was designed to be a one-module-for-all-methods shipping module and not to be used in conjunction with several other modules (except for the free shipping module of course).

If you do still require a change to the module in this way, rather than the change of mindset I've advocated above, please get in contact privately.

All the best...

Is this Region Tables module compatible with the generic table module. I have that one set up for all my areas except one that needs more customization and this module sounds perfect for that unless it will not work with the generic table module installed also.

Please advise. Sounds like an excellent addition to the Zen Cart modules.

Hi,

Please advise. Sounds like an excellent addition to the Zen Cart modules.

It can indeed be used in conjunction with the Table module but your question is a little ambiguous so I can't give a definitive answer about whether or not it'll do exactly as you require.

I'd suggest you install the module and configure it as per the documentation, that way you can test it out and see if it does what you need!

All the best...

Hey Conor, thanks for the reply.

Yeah, the clients request is very strange. If the order is over £10 and the customer lives inside the requested postcode area, the delivery is free. It was just hard working out how to completely remove the option from the shipping list when the order was under £10.

Not to worry! This is a fantastic module, another great addition to the UK zen cart revolution!
