[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[meknownowt]

Spot on with the Analogy.

But the problem I have with it is that, I assume most people are like me and are finding time limited at the moment, so spending so much time trying to work out a way to pay someone else money, by using a system they don't seem to want to make easier to use or to work the way their customers want it to work just seems stupid.

I may try again at a later date but at this time I have more pressing things to get on with, especially as I have other options to use as payment methods.

I'm just happy the RM mod is working the way I want it.

Thanks again for that.

I just reread my last message and it sounds, as if I could be talking about the postage MOD supplied by philip_clarke, but I think I must add that my frustration was with google checkout not the great RM mod, that I would be struggling with out.

Just thought I would clear that up.

As I've said, I have a little time to do programming for the new prices, and I will get it done, what I do not have is the time to go and look for new price information on the royalmail website. But If someone sends me direct links I will sort out a new moudle before the price change and then no-one will have a problem

Hello Philip ,

As far as the updated prices go I have no problem Updating all the prices come April .. Truth is I have to anyway as all our customers use the add on .. so once I add them I will upload the update same as last year or send it to you

Nice to see you back and trying to get the mod to work with Google Checkout .. Is this working now ?

I can see there has been a few issues . I was working on this a bit on my site but not working as of yet

Thanks

Robert

Hello,

RE: Google checkout, yes it works perfectly with the royal mail modules, but it is "different" to the normal checkout system. The instructions were also lacking in details for the UK but they have been written (by me) fully above. The main issues are that some people (and not just on this thread) don't feel comfortable with the google way of checking out.

RE: The modules, I have two things to say really, firstly, the entire 17 modules need rewriting for zencart version 2.0 which is going to be a lot of work. Also I am shocked and quite bitter that after 9000+ downloads, I have never received a donation.

I am not the biggest fan of the whole way google went about google checkout .. My bigest complanit is the SSL needed for checkout to intagrate . Thanks for the help though

firstly, the entire 17 modules need rewriting for zencart version 2.0 which is going to be a lot of work

I agree but I will not be using any future versions of zencart . But if you need a hand I will be glad to help where I can

Also I am shocked and quite bitter that after 9000+ downloads, I have never received a donation.

well truth be known when I downloaded it . It looked like the author was Chuck Redman and the add-on was just left . I do agree you should be reimbursed for your hard work so I shall sort something out from me can't speak for everyone else though . It is a great mod

Out of curiosity, what are you switching to then ?

I know you feel miffed about not making much from this Mod, but as far as I know this has been out for around a year, and over the last year a lot of people have been struggling not just with their website, but also trying to keep themselves afloat, as over the last year things have got a lot harder for most people.

A lot of them have floated over from ebay, after ebay basically cut them off without a pot to use, I would not judge your Mod or the people using it at the moment.

And I know some will say it would take nothing, but unlike last year where most were planning a year or more ahead, this year a lot of them are having to look at their income on a month to month basis, and any extra if there is any is going toward next month in a hope just to survive.

Just hope that offers another perspective, and allows you to see that I'm sure most still hope you have the heart to make the changes needed for 2.0 but would also totally understand if your own overheads made that impossible.

Depends on either me finding a good enough reason to convert this to 2.0 or zen-cart offering something, or the lead team member "Wilt" (I thought it was DrByte), who is English doing it himself. http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...ges&pages_id=9 Ian C Wilson, lives in Newcastle-upon-tyne. He could concert the whole lot as an "example" of version 2.0 shipping modules for all I know.

Hi there all,

I need to find a way of converting this module to be in gramms rather than KGs.

For instance, all products sold are weighed in Gramms, so it can be say .50 of a gramm or 1.5 gramms, the cart is doing that aok (basically working), but when it gets to checkout_shipping it is taking the total sum of cart weight to be KILOS rather than KILOGRAMMS... Any thoughts of a simple workaround, I thought where it gets cart weight total value just divide by a 1000, but cant seem to find it

Second question, and I think someone asked this above, special delivery from recollection goes to a max of £5k insured (could be 10k), I need to work out a way that if total cart price exceeds that amount, then we need to actually set delivery containers to more than 1, for instance >

Cart is under 5K = 1 charge for delivery
Cart is under 10K but over 5K = 2 charges
Cart is under 15K but over 10K = 3 charges
You see the general idea.

Any thoughts, I dont mind paying someone beer money if it helps.

Thanks

a) You should have kept it in Kg as it means more work. It may be possible to fix this by multiplying everything at somewhere near te final checkout.
b) I thought it was only £500 for special delivery
c) I will look at it this evening.
