Per Item Module with 22 zones

[mel150]

Hi, I've been wrestling with this for a while. My client has 22 separate shipping zones. But she wants each zone to ship per item.

For instance, I buy one box of cupcakes and I am shipping to AZ. Cost is 10.29. I buy 2 boxes of cupcakes, the shipping price doubles to 20.598 For three, it triples to 30.87, etc.

I tried to make this work using zone table rate. But then I have to enter a long string per zone, like 1:10.29,2:20.58,3:30.87,4:41.17, etc etc etc up to 20 or more. And then if someone enters 21, the shipping cost goes to zero because that number of items isn't entered.

I think the solution is to clone the per item shipping module 22 times, one for each zone. I'm willing to do this, but I will need some really specific advice. If someone can walk me though cloning it once, I'm sure I can carry on from there. Thanks in advance!

You should be able to do a search on:
clone item
clone flat

for examples of cloning shipping modules ...

Thanks, I have tried that but all I get is this same response in different threads, that:

Thanks! For anyone else trying to do this:

I did that with modules/shipping/item.php, named a new one itemzone2.php, replaced all incidents of item or ITEM with itemzone2 or ITEMZONE2.

At first I got an error that I was missing includes/languages/modules/shipping/item.php.

So I downloaded that page and did the same replacement. I uploaded the two pages and on the shipping module in the cart it appeared under per item as per itemzone2. Now I just have to do it 21 more times successfully.

Thanks for your help!!

Argh. Update:

While the new modules show up on the administrative side, when I set up per itemzone2, then go to the customer side and estimate shipping with a zip code from that zone, I get what you see in the attachment here.

It is set up exactly like per item, except I selected zone 2 instead of zone 1, and the price is different.

Any suggestions?

Could you post this shipping module code so that we can peek at it?

[mel150]

Sure thing. The includes/modules/shipping/itme.php hasn't been touched. Here is the code for itemzone2.php. I noticed that there were a few places where I hadn't capitalized itemzone2, but when I made those changes last night it made the problem worse, so I restored it. itemzone2.php is below. Thanks!!

You have to be more careful with the upper/lower case and not change just anything with the word item as some are necessary variables and functions ...
