[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[philip_clarke]

Version 2.3.5 is now available from here until it is in the add-ins section:

http://########################.co.uk/versions/b...ail_v2.3.5.zip

Bug fixes to the Standard Parcels Modules (no need to re-install just place the files on the server)
Optional Shipping Estimator now updated to 1.3.8 code and re-arranged in the optional folder to make installation easier.

I have just updated the optional shipping estimator, but it is no longer working for me. It will only show me quotes for the UK even if I select another country?
If I replace with the previous version of the estimator it works fine, any ideas?

Also with either version of your estimator, if i no shipping is available I get this message:

TITLE_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE TEXT_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE

Is this correct as when looking at your files it seems I should be getting a more user friendy message?

[philip_clarke]

The constant should be defined in includes/languages/languages/english/shopping_cart.php at the bottom of the php, I've checked the zip file and it should be in there but I'll confirm if I've cocked up the instructions as to where to put it. Regarding the english thing I must investigate this further, and will get back as soon as I've set up a clean test site as it was working when I sent it outbut the test site I've been using has had a lot of modifications over the last couple of months.

There may be an issue in that originally there were 3 files, and if you previoulsy has it installed, then file number 3 from the old version may be causing a problem which is just what I can think of, off the top of my head. Back soon

I have confirmed that the problem with the shipping_estimator where it does not display non-gb countries is caused by having an old shipping_estimator.php installed from an previous version of the Big RoyalMail modules. You need to replace includes/modules/shipping_estimator.php with the one from whichever version of zencart you are currently using e.g. 1.3.8 when I install the old optional estimator and then upgrade it to the new, the same error, so I should have made it clearer in my instructions about the need to revert, sorry.

With regards to the error message not being displayed, I am just working my way through that now.

Okay I made a mistake up there stating that shopping_cart.php should be in includes/languages/languages/english/shopping_cart.php it should be in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php like it is in the zipped up 2.3.5 version of the module, attached is what is displayed when it is in the correct place.

Yes that fixed the quote problem, the TITLE_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE, TEXT_NO_SHIPPING_AVAILABLE

problem still remains tho.

Thanks Philip

[philip_clarke]

Is your site using a template override ? that's the only thing I can think of, find shopping_cart.php on your shop and then muck around with the defines until you can change the text of the estimator, it maybe that the default location is being ignored in favour of a template. I'm just going to muck around with mine and see if I can find a possible overried location.

Right I've been able to override mine so I am guessing you need to look for a shopping_cart.php in

includes/languages/english/classic/

or

includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE NAME/

there should certainly be a shopping_cart.php in includes/languages/english/ which shoulc be either the default zencart one or the one from the zip file and then there may be another one later on in the filesystem. My guess is that the file is not in the right place or has been overridden as I've been able to do both (see attachment above).

[tonyrobbo]

Yes I thought of that and included it in that folder as well.

I have just switched the estimator from 1= Display as Button on Shopping Cart
to 2= Display as Listing on Shopping Cart Page and it now works correctly, its probably better this way anyway so thank you.

Mine doesn't look as pretty as yours tho?

[philip_clarke]

The one I'm using is the default "classic" theme, I don't have an active shop to play with any more, and thank you as that means that I have cocked up somewhere and that the popup_estimator must be using a different define file, so all I need to do is locate it. It's small info like that, that helps a great deal.
