Ceon Region Tables Shipping Module 1.0.0 Beta 1!

Hi,

As promised, here's another beta, with a few more features added...

From the docs...

[ADDED] Full postcode format checking added for each of the 6 countries currently supported by the module. If a customer has not entered a valid postcode they are shown a warning message and information on how to update their postcode, with specific information about the format of postcodes for their country.

[ADDED] Minimum limits can now be specified in the Table of Rates (e.g. 30-50:4.95 specifies a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50).

[DOCS] Documentation about Shipping Method Table of Rates expanded and extra info added to the FAQs.

Only one small database change has been made, to update the values of one of the default example configuration's values so no-one with a previous version really needs to make any database changes (i.e. no need to "Remove" and "Install" the module).

However, you MUST copy over all the new files, there are significant changes to the code.

I hope this version of the module does everything everyone wants it to now.

Thanks for some great suggestions, the postcode format checks/warnings and limit ranges are useful additions.

Enjoy the new version and HAPPY EASTER! :clap:

All the best...

Enjoy!

Many thanks, Conor :smile:

Hi,

Don't worry, I'm not threatening execution. :)

I haven't heard anything back from anyone about this module in a week so I take it that it does everything everyone requires it to and that there are no outstanding issues?

Please give some feedback on the module if you can.. how you've used it, whether it works as desired etc.

I'll be re-releasing beta 6 as the final (non-beta) version shortly unless anyone here gives me any reason to do otherwise..

All the best...

Conor

Hi Conor,

No complaints from me and will be happy to install your mod on my live store. As usual my contribution towards development costs will be on its way. :smile:

As discussed by email my only request would be to add the VAT switch enabling the rates to be entered either including or excluding VAT.

Thanks for another great piece of code. :clap:

Brent

Hi,

Added the code in to allow entering the rates including or excluding tax a week ago but forgot to release it! :)

Here's a final beta for testing then... will probably re-release this as the final, non-beta version on Tuesday (unless anyone does find a problem, doesn't look likely at this point though!).

http://dev.ceon.net/web/zen-cart/regiontables

To upgrade to this beta, copy the files across, over the existing files in your store. There is one database change needed so you can either:

• "Remove" and "Install" the module once more (remember to keep a copy of all your settings so you can re-enter them!) or:
• you can run the following SQL command to add in the option that has been added in beta 7 (don't forget to check the table name!):

insert into configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) VALUES ('Rates Include Tax', 'MODULE_REGION_TABLES_TAX_INCLUDED', 'Rates Include Tax', 'Do the Rates entered in the Tables of Rates include tax? (This setting is used only if a Tax Class is selected above).', '6', '0', 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'Rates Include Tax\', \'Rates Do Not Include Tax\'), ', now());

Enjoy!

Conor

Hi Conor,

No problems that I can find. :smile:

Kind regards

I am wondering if this shipping module will suit my needs. We have the US divided into seven zones/regions for shipping and in each zone are states. We charge shipping by the weight and zone, will this module do what we're looking for?

Hi,

halldorr:

I am wondering if this shipping module will suit my needs. We have the US divided into seven zones/regions for shipping and in each zone are states. We charge shipping by the weight and zone, will this module do what we're looking for?

Yes, it will, but it won't make use of your zone definitions (if that's what you are talking about; if by "zones" you just mean conceptual ones you use in your business then even better, the module is perfect for you! :) ).

Instead, what you will have to do is to set up seven regions, each of which contains the various states you'd like to be part of each region.

You can then set up shipping methods for each of these regions with specific prices for specific weights/weight ranges.

Full instructions for the US are in the documentation... read it to find out how to configure the module! :)

All the best...

Hi,

Well, thanks to all those who beta tested this module... the final version has now been released!

New Thread for 1.0.0 Final!

Upgrading requires "Remove"ing, copying the new files over the existing files, and then "Install"ing the new version of the module.

Of course this means having to set up your configuration again (one last time).

We'd suggest opening your current configuration in a browser window before upgrading and using another browser window to "Remove" and "Install" the new version... you can then copy and paste your configuration settings from one browser window to the other.

The new admin sectioning should make it a lot easier to check/change your configuration so it's well worth upgrading!

Please donate if you like the module! :yes:

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Does this module works for Malaysia?

In Malaysia, there are 14 states. Each of the areas within the 14 states would have their range of postcodes.

If I would like to offer free shipping for Klang Valley with a range of postcodes, and the other states to have different shipping rate, can this module that you have developed cater for?

Also, at the same time I would want to have different flat shipment rate to other countries, e.g. to US, CA - one rate, to SG & BN another rate, etc..

Looking forward to your prompt response.

Cheers,
dcmall

Hi Conor
I have just installed the payment/discount module from Ceon (after paying a donation) Where do I input the surcharge or discount % s for the different payment methods?

Looking at the code it is looking for a 'table of rates'.

I can't find where to input them!

Hope you can advise?

Bryden

Hi Bryden,

bryden:

Yes, that was unexpected - thanks very much for the donation, it's the first we've had for that module! :)

bryden:

I'm guessing that's why you've found this old thread - searching for "Table of Rates"?! The table of rates is specified in the configuration for the supported payment methods, it's nothing to do with that used in our old Region Tables module.

Currently the modules which have support for specifying this table of rates are:

• Protx Direct
• Iridium (a new module being released soon)
• PayPay IPN. PayPal IPN requires a bit of code to be put into two of its methods and a few options added to the configuration (to enter the table of rates)... it's easy enough to do if you can read PHP though.

I don't see any reason that the exact same code can't be added to any other payment module but as I have no experience with other modules I'd have to see the source first to tell you where to put it.

Please contact me privately so I can see what code you need!

All the best...

Given your other posts, you seem to be fairly new to computers so hopefully you'll find this advice of use...

"FAQs" is an abbreviation for "Frequently Asked Questions". When you have a problem with something you should read any FAQs that come with/apply to it and any documentation supplied with it first before asking a question on a forum.

The answer to your question is included in the documentation that comes with the Region Tables module, in the section "FAQs".

I'm glad I could help.

All the best...

Conor
