MZMT MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping [Support Thread]

includes/modules/shipping/zones.php

That is the file I suggest you start with. Good info is provided on how to at least, get a handle on what you want to do. And yes, for any new/customized; Country, City, Village, that you want entered, they must be manually added. Good news is that you only have to enter them once -- and backup that file.

Thanks a lot for your answer...getting closer, but still some things are not clear. I changed the number of zones to 5, but in Zencart admin there are added six rows, that's ok, every Zone needs three rows (ZoneCountry, ZoneShippingTable and ZoneHandlingFee), but without any text, they are just blank...which row stands for what? SAme order?
Still when I enter the Zones (location-taxes/zones) I can only put the country, zone and code, no city, no village...by the way, assuming I insert all the villages and then go to modules/shipping/zones...do I have to enter all the let's say 200 codes for one zone I have???

Maybe I have found already a solution...I found a thread where it says how to enter the states/provinces by dropdown

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14445&highlight=cities+drop

so the client has to chose between the ones I inserted...and may not put a wrong one. I am going to try this out and see how far I get.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Hello

I have just installed this on 1.35 (alls good as per normal) however none of my ez pages are now showing my ez page side box is on - and pages are all visable with sort orders but they are just not displaying on screen. totally stuck

I do have a back up so I can put back to before I installed - but I need this module - any ideas? help needed

::bump:: Anyone? I'd really like to figure out why my MZMT won't show up in the checkout process. I'm doing a test order from NC, which should be part of the lower 48....

OK, it is showing, but only the 'rest of the world' flat rate of $45. I've got rates for the US lower 48, and AK/HI/outlying, and when I change my address in the system, the rates still show $45 for 'rest of the world'.

I've got the store location set in admin......what am I missing here?

I'm having the same issue. On a hunch, I checked the details for one of my zones, Shp: United States: 48, which came with MZMT. I ran the SQL, and it affected 49 rows, but only one state, Alabama, shows when I look at the details of the zone in admin. I suspect that you might have the same problem. Check the details on your 'Rest of the World' doesn't include Peru, as I suspect it will be why you're getting the higher rate.

I'm going to look at the SQL code for my area, and see if I can fix it, as adding each state by hand is a bit laborious.

Sure enough, the SQL code wasn't correctly adding the states. I went into my PHPMyAdmin, and fixed it. Turns out that the geo_zone id was going in as '0', when it should have been '23' (in my db, yours will vary). I fixed that, and voila, states were in my list, and all is good!

Thank you for the information, but this does not help when some people are not able to do SQL coding, like myself.

Please give a detailed accounting of how you fixed it.

TAKEN FROM INSTRUCTIONS:

Located in the _geo_zones_sql folder are some SQL files to import into your database for pre-built shipping zones. The following are the Geo Zones and their SQL file in this folder that you can just import into your Zen Cart database (setting them up by hand can be painstaking if they have a lot of zones/countries):

* United States (continental 48 + DC) - `US_48.sql`
* United States (Alaska & Hawaii) - `US_AKHI.sql`
* United States (APO/FPO) - `US_APOFPO.sql`
* European Union (entire European Union) - `EU_ALL.sql`

MY QUESTION IS WHERE EXACTLY DO I COPY THESE FILES IN MY ZENCART DATABASE? I CAN"T GET IT TO SHOW UP IN THE PULLDOWN MENU.

Thanks!

TAKEN FROM INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Copy files from _zen_cart_folder to your Zen Cart install.
2. Import SQL file _install_sql/INSTALL_v1.100.sql to your DB.
3. Setup Pre-configuration from Admin -> Configuration -> MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping
4. Setup shipping Geo Zones (see Setting Up Geo Zones section of the Read Me document)
5. Install & setup module from Admin -> Modules -> Shipping -> MultiGeoZone MultiTable

RE: STEP 3. I DO NOT SEE "MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping" WHEN I GO TO ADMIN/CONFIGURATION. YET IT IS THERE IN STEP 5 DID I MISS SOMETHING?

Help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

please do not start a new thread for related problems.

Hello,

I am setting up the Multiple geo zone shipping module. I cannot seem to understand how to set up additional geo zones. I need to set up geozones for International shipping. The only choice that I currently have is: Shp: European Union: All. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lonney

I am sorry, let me rephrase my question. I need to set up multiple zones in one country.

Thanks,

Lonney

Have you installed the MZMT module for this?

Thank-you for your response. Yes, I did install the MZMT module. The Only option I have for the Geo Zones are:

Shp: European Union: All
Shp: United States: 48
Shp: United States: AK & HI
Shp: United States: APO/FPO

I see the same choices under "Zone Definitions". I added another zone in Zone Definitions, but it does not show as an option under Geo Zones.

I have the United States zone set up with no issues. I need to set up 4 different zones for the reset of the world.

This is likely a really dumb oversight on my part. Thanks for your help.

Lonney

I need to set up zones like this:

1: USA
2: Canada
3: Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Holland/Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Portugal, Israel, Greece
4: Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore
5: Taiwan, China, Hong Kong

Thanks for any help.

Lonney

For example when you added the zones (Locations/Taxes, Zones) for say Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, you need to then go into Locations/Taxes, Zone Definitions, create the zone name shp: Region 5 (or whatever you want to call it), then once created select "details" and then "insert". This will then allow you to 1. select Country, and 2. select Zone (as created above).

THANK-YOU SO MUCH!!! That did it. Thanks again for your time and explanation.

Ajeh and Kobra helped me out on getting the MZMT shipping module to display grams without the decimal points. Thanks again.

After changing these: (' . number_format($shipping_weight,0), the zero was a two, I get some strange characters showing up above my Shipping Estimator.

Attached Image

When I do a search with the Dev Tool Kit is turns up MZMT.php but there's no mention anywhere of these characters. I notice that the java script for the shipping estimator is coding into the page AND seems to be missing a bracket.

my page is located at ********* (sorry for the spaces. I wouldn't like my struggles showing up in Google.) :schmoll:

Thanks in advance for any help. Not detrimental or anything, just bugs me and might help others.

Thanks but I actually lead you a stray on the decimal....

This one I do not have a direct answer for but looking at your page source on thi this is what is displayed:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function shipincart_submit(sid){
  if(sid){
    document.estimator.sid.value=sid;
  }
  document.estimator.submit();
  return false;
}
</script>


<form name="estimator" action="http://*****/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart" method="post"><input name="scid" type="hidden"><h2>Estimate Shipping Costs</h2>
```I would copy and paste this string in the admin > tools > developers tools > search function and see if this is a stray entry or not first.

Also look to what you are using to edit these files, and I hope that you are using a "plain text" editor as other types might and do add unwanted characters.

Post back if you do or do not find anything
