[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[Gwiazda]

Hi,
Where is the 2.3.4 release and the shipping rates patch please? I just installed 2.3.3 and it sent me here but I can't see anything. I started updating the rates manually, but the international shipping is fairly epic so would appreciate an sql patch if there is one.
Thanks.

2.3.4 is currently awaiting review after having been submitted to the zencart team. but I have placed it here for you:

http://########################.co.uk/versions/b...ail_v2.3.4.zip

along with the parcelforce modules are at

http://########################.co.uk/versions/P...rce_v2.3.4.zip

when the zc team put them up here, then I will remove them.

Any idea when the rates update will be posted please? I've been using this mod for a while and it's great, thanks Philip for all your hard work.

The SQL update is already available for airmail, and uk services.

Hi,

Has anyone ever solve the problem of silly counties when using zones. In particular I am thinking of London, Cardiff, Edinburgh etc which if we're lucky comes up as London, London etc.

We've always got away without using zones at all in the past but we now send to the Channel Islands where no VAT causes us problems.

Any ideas for this issue as I have the same problem with London etc, and Channel Isles.

? Question, How do people list the Channel Isles ?
As seperate countries or as 'The Channel Isles' and use counties as Guernsey, Jersey etc

This question should be moved to the parcelforce thread which has been placed here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ht=parcelforce

as the "courier" modules have been removed from the big royalmail package.

But as the thread is not yet active (as the zc team have not put up the new packages). What happens when one of the courier / parcel force modules is installed is this:

All the Channel Islands are slotted into a parent Category "Channel Islands", this is then used for the postage calculation. If you install one of the modules like international standard, you'll see in your zone definition "instandard:world zone 5" (it might be 6 or 7) which has the chanel islands as a parent and the islands as children. I do not exactly understand the nature of your particular problem, mentioning london etc, but the modules install the islands themselves.

SCRAP THAT.

the file optional/ukzr_optional_county_install-0.0.1.sql puts all the counties and the islands in the correct place and that is sitting inside the big_royalmail zip at the moment. You upload this in "install SQL patches" and then install the modules that assigns the channel islands to a "world zone".

I have downloaded 2.3.4 from the link provided 6 April but cannot see the SQL update for new postal rates - am I being really dense???

Good news the split modules have now been approved so for the Royal mail the download for 2.3.4 is here

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=294

for ParcelForce it is here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1308

will all ParcelForce and courier enquiries now move to the new thread at:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ht=parcelforce

ParcelForce will be gettting a lot of work done over the next few weeks, with more services added and the existing ones corrected, and I'd like to keep this forum clear for the modifications that will be happening to the Royal Mail code only. We will be having minimum weights added to the other royal mail modules as well as changing the installation slightly so that it doesn't use as many queries to the database.

Thank you
Philip.
