Big Royal Mail 3.0

HeathenMagic:

I am not totally sure if 1.55f is the cause for certain. Can't think of what else may affect operation of the module, apart from a server wobble (and php file changes) nothing much has been edited file wise.

I use 1.55f on my site and i cannot reproduce your issue. I had a quick look at your site and if I make any change to the shopping cart content the display shipping rates button seems to fail.

Could you give me the specific product and I'll try to see if I can understand what is happening.

Hello there, thanks for your reply. Yes I think there is some java script not fully configured on shopping cart page not making live updates to changed stock to reflect any postage change. It was with any product / product(s) around the £20 mark. So at the moment on a 19.50 spend it is stopping 1st class large letter with a £20 threshold. But dropping down to £18-ish it is okay for instance

I thought maybe I should just check for any possible changed files that are relevant, plus since php alteration there has been a bit of weirdness with things now working and other things not as they used to. Didn't want to take your time, but maybe I could PM you if I rule out any php / code change issues? I am on php 7.x at the moment.

Sorry for delay in replying. Been trying to get the rate for the price change (parcelforce impossible!). I have thought of somthing that I have change on my site and am putting into 3.3.5 release for php7 in each of the modules. The class constructor instead of being "function <MODULENAME>" is being replaced with "function __construct()"
So For 1st Large letter

class rm1stlargeletter {
	var $code, $title, $description, $enabled, $num_zones ;


	// class constructor
	function rm1stlargeletter()

Is becoming

class rm1stlargeletter {
	var $code, $title, $description, $enabled, $num_zones ;


	// class constructor
	function __construct() {

Don't think its an issue just something that php 7 is changing.
Was hoping to post changes tomorrow for new rates. Might do it even if I don't have all the Parcelforce rates.

I have installed Big Royal Mail

I need some help in trying to understand how to make a product 1st class small parcel signed for, it weighs 300g and should be £4.40

When I add the product to my cart I get this postage option;

Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For "Medium Parcel" (Great Britain and Northern Ireland only) £16.85

When I checked royal mail, this is for a medium parcel weighing 5kg

My parcel is 300g and its small parcel.

Can you point me in the right direction please as I just cannot seem to get my head around it?

If I get help with one I’m sure it will make me understand where I’m going wrong.

my setting attribute are;
Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For "Small Parcel" ver. 3.3.4

I added Small Parcel attribute to my product

Also, am I correct to enter the Products Shipping Weight when I create a new product, in the box at the bottom of that page?

I read somewhere that I need to change Admin - configuration - Shipping/Packaging - Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage: weight, it's currently set at 0:3

I tried changing this to 0 which seemed to work for 1st class small signed for but not for international postage. they went to high. Plus if I add 2 of the same items to my basket no postage showed up.

sorry for all the questions! I’m just trying to get my head around how it works.

As i said in post #212 https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....27#post1342027 I use 0:0.05 which adds 50g or .05kg.
I would not use attribute posting to start with. You only need this if you want to force items to be posted by a specific method or minimum method.
When in the shopping cart you should see the total weight of the shopping basket. Something like this

Total Items: 1  Weight: 0.015Kg  Amount: £10.00

If the weight is not displayed as 0.3kg then look again at admin>configuration>shipping/packing>

• Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship
• Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight
• Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight
  Larger packages is any sale greater than the maximum weight.

If that does not work let me know your website if you have a version accessible on the internet.

P.S. I have just released 3.3.5 and when I can get parcelforce to give me the correct rates I will release 3.3.6.

Just looked again. The additional weight is not added until checkout. So if it looks ok in shopping cart but not in checkout then issue probably with adding weight.

As for shipping weight it is added in the Products Shipping Weight: field and should be in Kg.

Ive added the weight as it's now showing in the cart as 0.3kg

however it's saying;
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.

i'll pm you my site link

I've just realised that the tital of my shipping modules page has changed from;

admin - modules - shipping - Shipping Modules

it now says
admin - modules - shipping - Flexible Footer Menu

I've attached a screen shot.

Is this normal.

I thought I had this sussed today as my postage all seemed to be ok but I later realised that the product I was testing had an attribute Minimum Delivery Method set to: Small Parcel so it was showing the correct postage for my item which was 1st class signed for 300g small parcel £4.45

I’m happy to add the attribute to every item if I must but I’d rather get the settings right now rather than have trouble in the future.

Royal Mail 1st Class Signed for Letter seems to work ok

Total Items: 1 Weight: 0.051kg Amount: £0.50
Postage £1.77

But for some reason small parcel will not work for
UK (This shipping method cannot be used for this order)
Australia (This shipping method cannot be used for this order)

These countries seem to be working ok;
Austria
USA
Canada
Germany
Netherlands
Spain
France
Italy
Ireland
Sweden

Here’s my test products;
http://making-it-personal.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26

This one has an attribute Minimum Delivery Method set to: Small Parcel
http://making-it-personal.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=23

This one is Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For "Letter"
http://making-it-personal.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=54&products_id=24

I’ve set ‘Hide Invalid Shipping to False’ just until I get the settings right.

Also the title of my shipping modules page has changed from;

admin - modules - shipping - Shipping Modules
it now says
admin - modules - shipping - Flexible Footer Menu

my settings

It's almost been a month since i first download and install this mod and i have been trying my hardest to find the answer but i'm not a natural and it has me beat:(

So it seams that it's just the UK and Australia that's not working, can anybody help me see the light lol

Can you try setting "Attribute Exact Match" to false on 1st signed for small parcel.

Could you also check that your country codes are set up in upper-case for uk and Australia.
Goto ADMIN>Locatopns / Taxes>Countries
scroll down until you find Australia and click on the entry It should look something like this
Name: Australia
ISO Code (2): AU
ISO Code (3): AUS
Address Format: 7
Status (Active for shipping?): Yes

Similarly for United kingdom (on default its about page 12)
Name: United Kingdom
ISO Code (2): GB
ISO Code (3): GBR
Address Format: 6
Status (Active for shipping?): Yes

The Flexible footer could be an issue with your language files. Check /"Your_Site"/"Your_admin"/includes/languages/english/modules.php file that it is php define('HEADING_TITLE_MODULES_SHIPPING', 'Shipping Modules'); And not ```php
define('HEADING_TITLE_MODULES_SHIPPING', 'Flexible Footer Menu');

Can you use PHPmyAdmin to look at the database?

I DON’T HAVE THIS - Status (Active for shipping?): Yes

THE ADDRESS FORMAT FOR AUSTRALIA IS ON 1, IT HAS OPTIONS OF 1-6, SHOULD I CAHANGE IT TO 6?

I checked The language file. /"Your_Site"/"Your_admin"/includes/languages/english/modules.php this is whats there;

Yes I can log into PHPmyAdmin database

Sorry Been away again. I have just noticed that you only have the signed for options set. Can you check the Minimum Order Values are set to zero 0.00 I think the default is £20. or 20.00.

Hope you had a nice holiday!

I checked and my Minimum Order Values are set to zero 0.00

I've been adding products to my store, I've had 1 sale which was UK, thankfully the postage was OK.

I was testing another product that weighs 150g and can be sent as large latter but it's giving me a small parcel price.

looks like the issue is with large letter. Can you check the code in includes\modules\shipping\rm1stlargelettersf.php About line 31 is ```php
$postage_check = array(10);

includes\modules\shipping\rm1stmedparcelsf.php About line 31 is ```php
$postage_check = array(30);

I have tried a cake topper by itself and it appears ok except I would expect large letter and medium parcel to be shown.
When I add a mug It then displays just small parcel. I would expect medium parcel as well.

Hi,

I am using 1.5.5.f zencart

With this module do you have to use pre-entered royal mail prices or can you set your own?
I currently use another module for shipping but it has started playing up with my latest upgrade.

At present I base my rates on order value rather than weight and offer a flat rate uk price of £3.60 for standard first class post - would this module allow this? I also have sections for uk signed for and next day in UK and airmail + airmail signed for for overseas ( one set of prices for EU and one for ROW). All prices apart from the flat rate UK standard post one are tiered in value e.g. airmail europe is £4.00 upto an order value of £50, then £5.50 for order value upto £100 etc.

I also have a free local collect option for customers who stay near the premies.

Sorry for all the questions but I cannot install modules myself so pay someone else to do it and need to be sure this will work before instructing them to go ahead with it.

Thanks for any help/advice in advance

The module is preloaded with the current royal mail and parcel force prices. You can change them to anything you want. If you go to admin>shipping modules Then select the module you want to alter (assuming It has been installed) click on edit and change the Shipping rates... Fields. The format is Weight:Cost in a comma seperated list. If you change the rates be wary of upates as they normally update the rates to the default.

Thank you so much for your reply.
It's great I can change the costs but unfortunately I cannot use the 'by weight' shipping option on my website - it has to be either flat rate or order total. Hopefully if this method is added as a possible option in future I will be able to use this module.

Thanks again

You could use these modules with a flat rate for each option just set the weight to a high value and only have one rate per shipping type.

Good Morning - I have just been installing this package - but have hit a potential problem ?
The instructions call for the following:
Run Update3.3.1.sql - which is not in the package...

The following file is in the package - can it be used instead of the 3.3.1 file ?
**Run Update3.3.2.sql

Many Thanks !**

Good spot. There is a typo in the update instructions 3.3.2 is the correct sql file to run. I am assuming you are doing an upgrade not an install as this in not necessary for an install. I'll get the documentation updated.
Thanks
