Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

[WayneStephens]

Hi, I've installed this module and it works great in the normal zencart checkout. But when I try going through google checkout the shipping method doesn't show up.

I'm assuming I have to add some code to the shipping_methods.php file, but I'm not sure what?

Hi, I am new and using v1.3.8a
Like the post in the first few page, I want to set my shipping to West Malaysia and East Malaysia.
I had followed the steps like adding zones, defining the zones in West Malaysia and East Malaysia and also installed the zone table.
But how come the Sort Order in Zone Table Rate is still in yellow?

In the checkout page, no option for West Malaysia and East Malaysia appear. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my configuration?

The yellow icon on the modules indicate two things:
1 something may be wrong

2 a filter or Zone has been applied

For you, it sounds like it is just telling you that you have applied a Zone to the module ...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. But I still do not understand. Yea.. i think i had applied a zone to the shipping module. But how come the zone selection does not appear in the checkout page for buyer?

Does the zone has anything related to the address of the buyer? But since the buyer doesn't need to enter any detail about the zone in the address, how could it be related?

hi,

i'm using zencart ver. 1.3.8.

i've installed the module + it gave the yellow light that based on the previous posts- just ignore it + it will still work.

my problem is, the shipping module not even appeared as one of the option of shipping method in choosing the shipping method process.

i've divided it to 2 zones: west msia + east msia with respective states on each zone.

PLEASE, if anyone can help..!!

Hi manzili, i think i am having the same problem as u. Can you tell me how did u resolve ur problem?

Adding the Zone doesn't "show" in the checkout but rather "filters" when the module displays based on the address ...

If the address is within the Zone, then the module will show ... if it is not part of the Zone, then the module will not show ...

In the address details filled in by buyer, they only fill in Street Address, Address Line 2, City, State/Province, Post/Zip Code, and Country.

Which detail in the address that will be used to match the Zone?

The matching zone_id and country_id are used from the address_book on the fields:
entry_country_id
entry_zone_id

ajeh, thanks for ur reply but i still don't know how to link the state to the zone filter. I think I am giving up. Anyway, I came out with an idea to spilt malaysia to Malaysia Peninsular and Malaysia East in the Countries. So i guess this way i can just use the zone rate module since buyer must select whether they are in malaysia peninsular or malaysia east in their address.

Hey.. I have finally figured out what was wrong with my zone table rate. After setting up the zones, zone definition and installing the module, I need to go back to the address to update the address. After the 'Zone' setup, the column to insert State changed to a drop list which was the zones i defined in the 'Zones'. From there the shipping module can filter the address according to the State(ie. zone added)
