Multiple Ship-To Addresses [Support Thread]

This plugin enables your store to offer your customers multiple shipping addresses on a single order, so long as the currently-selected payment method supports shipping to multiple addresses! Many payment modules will not provide a store-owner with seller protection if a customer's products are shipped to an unvetted address.

For the initial release of the plugin, only the *moneyorder *payment method has been updated to provide this support. The intent with this plugin's release is to provide a basic framework that can be tested (and otherwise improved) by the Zen Cart community and within which other, more intricate, payment methods can also support multiple ship-to addresses.

Every effort has been made to reduce the core-file changes required. Where possible, the change has been limited to the insertion of one or more Zen Cart notifiers at significant points. When it was not possible, the changes are spanned by comments indicating the beginning (//-bof-multiship) and end (//-eof-multiship) of the code-fragments.

I'm preparing to upload v1.0.0 BETA1 to the plugins area and will post its download link once I receive it.

Once approved, the plugin will be available here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1823

BETA1 is now available via the Zen Cart Plugins. You can also see the progress from beta to v1.0.0 on the plugin's github repository:

https://github.com/lat9/multiship

BETA2 is now available via github (https://github.com/lat9/multiship/archive/v1.0.0-BETA2.zip). This version incorporates "understanding" that an order can contain a mixture of virtual and physical products.

Looking for opinions!

1. Is a one-time charge applied on a per-order or per-ship-to-address basis? The current implementation applies the charge on a per-ship-to-address. I'm not asserting that this is correct, just stating what's currently happening.
2. Let's say a customer has 4 "Product 1" items in their cart and they choose to ship 2 to one address and 2 to another. Subsequently (and before confirming the order), the customer goes to the shopping_cart page and reduces the quantity of "Product 1" to 2. Does the "Ship-To" address for the 2 remaining items revert to the default shipping address?

I've just uploaded BETA3 to the plugins area. This version includes changes that react to changes to the shopping cart from the shopping_cart page plus a variety of bugfixes.

I have not done a lot with this, but it appears the TEXT emails for the order have:
Grand Total:160

This should really be:
Grand Total:<space>$160.00

Call me fussy ... :cool:

Nope, call you meticulous! Thanks for the report; I'll get it updated in the next (hopefully final?) beta.

The HTML emails were an **absolute **mess:blink:; the correction is up on github.com/lat9 and will be included in the next beta/rc release.

lat9, This is a great mod.
I am getting an error with customer file uploads (product attribute).

If a customer adds to cart
Product 1 with file "a" attached
Product 1 with file "b" attached

The order process returns a blank page once you attempt to pass the order confirmation page and place the order. everything looks great on the final confirmation page but the order is just not going through.

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks,
Mel

Is their a way to make the customer shipping addresses in Multiship searchable from the main orders page? I sometimes need to search orders by city but the multiship orders are not displaying in the search results.

Blank page = debug-log file present in your /logs directory. The contents of the log file will help debug your problem.

That's a great idea, I'll put it on the list of enhancements requested for this module.

Thanks much!

How about posting your debug-log file from the file-upload product? I used a "stock" ZC 1.5.1 install with Multi-Ship, added 3 of the products that allow a file-upload (with a file) and had no issue going through checkout.

Do you have other plugins installed as well?

I uninstalled and then re-installed my db and all files and everything works well with no additional changes... must have been missing something to cause that glitch. Sorry for the trouble. Works perfectly.

No trouble, I'm glad you got your issue sorted out.
