[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[giov]

hello,
first of all a big thank to Philip for creating such a useful module.
I would like to ask a quick help.
I am trying to install the Big Royal mail module following the instructions:
I am unsure about this point:

2) copy the files from big_royalmail_v2.3/images/icons/ to YOUR_ZC_FOLDER/images/icons/

There is no "icons" forlder under /public_html/images

Anyone knows where I shoudl copy the bog royal mail icons to?
Im using zen cart version: 1.3.8a
Many thanks in advace.
Gio

If there is not an icons folder under images then you should create the folder.
(I shall add this to the instructions)

Any other problems, please PM me.

Thank you
Philip.

Hi Philip

I seem to be getting the same probs as everyone else in that I am getting a message in my admin telling me rates need to be updated? Could you PM me with anything i need to do to update the rates? Or any advice?

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Hi Philip
I’ve just installed the update and I am getting the same message as others telling me
The rates for the Royal Mail Shipping Modules increased on 5th Apr 2009. A SQL patch is available to update them

I have tried to do this but not working could you please help me out

And thank you for what is a life saver of an add-on

[philip_clarke]

Just to confirm that the message saying the Royal Mail rates have changed on the 5th April, is only displayed in admin. At no point is it shown to a customer.

Thanks
Philip.

My Zen tells me that there is an up to date sql patch and I am sent to the last post.

Can any person give me the URL for the patch download.

Seven of the last eight questions have been about the sql patch. I hope it's okay to post this info, as no one else seems to have posted the answer.

If you check out Philip's website (click the "BOT, SHIELD, SCAN" link in his sig), you'll see a link that says "ZenCart Royal Mail Update SQL for 2009 Available here" which explains it all.

It states that although Philip has kindly released the Royal Mail module to the community for free under the GPL, the SQL update patches (there are two of them) are not free and it would be against the license to distribute them - so there's no point in asking for links or a URL to the SQL patches because they'll never be available for free.

Even if you're installing the most recent version of the module, the postage rates will be out of date and you will see the error. Install the module in the knowledge that it is out-of-date and if you want to use the SQL patches provided by Philip you will have to pay him to install them. This is all explained clearly on his website.

I hope I've understood the situation correctly.

Presumably you can still change the postage prices yourself if you wish? (You always could with the old version.)

[philip_clarke]

Yes you can always edit the postal rates yourselves and to do the airmail ones takes about 3/4 of a day cutting and pasting. But I'm not allowed to mention that paying me to do the sql updates is cheaper (the uk minimum wage for one hour), less error prone and faster, because I'll get censored for solicitiing, ooops.

Philip.

Whilst awaiting a reply re the patch I have update the prices by hand, but please how do I get rid of the notice telling me to get an update patch.
