[Old] Royal Mail Modules

*Just a quick question, and hopefully an easy one for most...

Currently the shipping options show as 'Royal Mail 1st Class "Letter" <RM_ICON>' but I'd like to change it to show the icon first, before the name of the service - IMHO, I think this will look neater.

However, I can't get my head around how the line is built.

Could someone help please?

Thanks.*

I have had a look at this for you .. like you probably already found out the icon is defined in shipping royal mail mod but not the lay out .. think you may need to look at a file outside this mod .. will keep looking though

anyone else with some ideas would be of great help

Thanks for taking a look for me! Greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to make the changes.

There are install instructions in the Install_CP.txt file which comes with the module.

Could anyone who has taken the time to change all the prices on tis module please post the contents of the modules text boxes in their admins

Thanks

Thanks for that - it turned out to be a lot simpler - I got the answer from a previous post - I had forgotten to to turn on Delivery Charge in admin/modules/order total!!

greatness_183, did you have any luck at all? I still can't locate how it's built... :frusty:

I've downloaded this and installed it and then suddenly thought - is it up to date with all the current Royal Mail pricing? Are there plans to update the module for 1.3.8 which I have installed it into so hope it works.

I've had this module installed for ages and it works great - cheers the developer! - but I've just recently noticed a problem I've been having.

First of all, when I installed this in the first place I read (almost) everything on this thread and in the files and it'd break my heart to have to do it again. So apologies if this is mentioned somewhere else... but...

Someone wanted to buy a load of stuff that all together amounted to over 10kg. Problem is that this mod only allows the package to weigh up to 6kg (1st class packet). Is there a way to break anything bigger into two or more boxes?

For instance: In the Admin, under: configuration/shipping&Packaging/Enter the max package weight - I had set to 2kg thinking that since I sell nothing too heavy if they ordered more than that then it'd be handy breaking it up into different boxes of around 2kg. Is it possible to combine these two things?

thanks

I have not tested with 1.3.8 so if it it works fine or not let me know and I can update

you will just need to add the pricing the value on there list curently gose up to 4kg

after that the price increases £2.80 per 2 kg

now if you are using the new download you will need to add to packets

08:13.82,10:16.62, 12:19.41

as far as breaking into 2, now I would say send as parcel at this point .. but thats just me

Cheers for the advice. I'd not installed the parcel part. D'oh. So thats the UK stuff sorted

But what if someone wants to buy stuff with a combined weight of 10kg and get it shipped to the USA? Surely then it'd be useful to break overseas packages into 2kg parcels?

Wonder if someone could please help me.

I have installed the latest version - v2.2

Two problems have sprung up so far.

1. When on the Checkout Shipping page - Step 1 of 3 delivery, the system shows the shipping method twice in the headline, i.e. it repeats itself and so the headline for each option busts the line.

Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Many thanks :wacko:

2. When I put a weight of say 0.1 to a product, all of the postal options up until 'Royal Mail 1st Class "Packet"' say 'The shipping rate cannot be determined at this time'.

Could anyone please advise on this also?

I have managed to fix both problems so ignore my earlier posts.

Many thanks

Hi Guys,

This was the closest thread i could find to what i am looking for, so i do apologise for going off on a tangent a bit.

I am trying to replicate this: http://www.flowersdelivereduk.com/UK-Local-Flower-Delivery~Flowers-Delivered-by-Town-or-City.aspx

to be able to provide customers a search facility for cities, towns, and regions of the UK.

Is there any module that can do this or any suggestions of the best possbile way to do this.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.
