Shipping Rates in Cart [support thread]

[Steven300]

Is it possible to do the following:

Have a drop-down list and entry boxes on the main shopping cart page - where the customer inputs their zip code and/or chooses state/province and then it produces a table with the shipping options.

Have you tried Zen Cart's built-in feature for this?

Admin -> Configuration -> Shipping/Packaging -> Shipping Estimator Display Settings for Shopping Cart

Set to 2

Yes. Shipping in the sub-total defaults to n/a and no options are provided for choosing shipping cost based on zip code.

Really, at this point, I just want to know if what I asked "can" be done; then I'll find out what the parameters are for it and adjust my shipping options accordingly.

Another way to ask the same thing:
I want my customer (with or without logging in first) to be able to choose shipping method based on entering their country/state/province/zip just while viewing their shopping cart (they can change it later if they like - this is just so they know what shipping looks like before they sign up or sign in).

Never mind - I was playing an idiot on this one. I needed to fully uninstall the mod and I hadn't *fully* done it. As soon as I finished that up, the table automatically appeared.

All is well!

I've found a small bug in the mod but don't know how to fix it!
It only happens with certain currency symbols such as Czech Republic Koruny.
The symbol translates to Kč rather than an actual symbol.
All works fine except for the total shown in the cart.
Around line 206

$cartSricTotal = preg_replace ( '#\D*?(\d+(\.\d+)?)\D*#', '$1', $cartShowTotal );

I think this strips the &#; characters but leaves the numerics in so the total shows a huge number!

Is there an easy fix to this or will changing the character set on the symbol field in the currencies table to utf8 fix the issue?
It is currently latin.

[damiantaylor]

That symbol should've read & #75;& #269; without the spaces between the & and # not Kč

[damiantaylor]

It's ok I've fixed it
I changed the currencies table and columns to utf8_general_ci and all is ok!

I have a quick question before I install this on my v1.3.9f.

Does this send the shipping cost to PayPal along with the order amount?

Thanks!
