new staticlist shipping module

Rick,
Thank you for working this out! it's been the major stumbling block keeping me from building my new store with zen! Couple more needs to work out then I'm going to start wrenching on the code!

I'm glad you found the module useful.

By the way everyone, it works fine with the recent 1.3.8a release of Zen.

The shipping module is working great, however I have one feature request that may or may not already be available.

My customer wants to be able to display the shipping option for a delivery if the customer is within 10 miles of his business. If they are not, the option would not be valid except for in-store pickup.

Is this something that is possible or does someone know how this can be accomplished?

Thanks

Hello -- My guess is that your best bet will be to focus on shipping according to zip code....

Is there a way to have this run alongside the free shipping option?

I'd like to have the free ship box above still active and automatically checked once tehy reach "x" dollars like it is now. Below this will be vendor options (staticlist) which they could also check one to determine the vendor they prefer with the dollar value coded out.

Something in here links the 2 allowing only 1 box to be checked

Thanks great plug.

Hello Jimmy,

This would take a bit of programming. I'd start by taking a look at the code in this file:

includes/classes/shipping.php

Regards,
Rick

Thanks Rick

I used a workaround and simply changed much of the language used in your module and coded out the visual aspect of the free shipping module at checkout. So I get all the advantages of the shopping cart sidebox telling the customer when the order qualifies plus the supplier options all clearly defined.

Works for me perfectly with that modification.

This module was an essential part that I had been missing.

Thank you very much for it and your quick response.

Very cool, Jimmy. I'm glad the module worked out for you. Conceptually it is a very simple module, which is what seems to be its strength.

Cheers,
Rick

Hello. I am very happy with this module but I wonder if I could duplicate or set another list for different zones because I want to differentiate our rate for US and Europe, for example. Thank you in advance.

I'm using the module in a few carts exactly as you've described. Have you downloaded the most recent version? It contains staticlist and staticlist2 which are clones. There is information in this thread if you need to clone it so that you can run any number of lists in parallel, e.g., staticlist, staticlist2, staticlist3, staticlist4...and so on, each selectively displayed and available based on location.

...and I'm glad it's working for you.

Cheers,
Rick

Thank you, rriehle!
Our zencart is still 1.3.7 so I have never tried the latest one. Do you know if the version 1.0 works on 1.3.8? Maybe it is time to update our zencart though...

Again, thank you for your post!

I've had the module working on ZC v1.3.7 and v1.3.8a. Others have it working on v1.3.6. Glad to be able to help. -- Rick

Well maybe this is what I have been lookinhg for interested in how one implemented free shipping. I have a cart ready to go live but the clients want to use a custom type shipping table. Based on price and at a level want to offer either free or discounted shuipping. Maybe this will do the trick. I hope. Be happy to share the customers table

Hello -- You could do something like that with this module, but not right out of the box. You'll need to modify the code. If I were to try to accomplish your goal using the staticlist module I'd have a staticlist clone for each of of the horizontal rows from your spreadsheet and then display the lists conditionally based on the value of the shopping cart. Thus for a shopping cart of any particular value the customer would be presented with four options from which to choose: ground, 3 day, 2 day, next day. There might be another module more directly suited to your purpose; whatever you decide please report back to the group and describe what you did and how you did it. Regards. -- Rick

Well after a couple day trying to figure it out I figured out that duplicate tables would be the answer and after the post I made I found a module that is just that. One thing for sure I can't see what I type at my age so you will have to forgive. Thanks for the reply.Maybe I can light the fire under thiis cart this weekend.

Hi,

I am using 1.38 and am wondering if this mod can do the delivery charges thing.

The kind of delivery charge where you spend less than $30; there's a charge and when you spend more than its free. All into the shopping cart. Can this mod do this?

Thanks

Sorry, no, there is no provision in the staticlist module to dynamically change the price associated with a shipping option based on the amount of the sale. -- Rick

LOVE this mod!

Okay, here's a simple(?) thing I need help with: All of my delivery options are for hotels in Denver, Colorado (for Aug 24 and 25 2008). This is for the Democratic National Convention. So, we need to charge sales tax on all these deliveries, no matter what state or zone they order from. For example, customer orders with a California billing and shipping address, but selects delivery to a hotel from static list. At the moment, the module cannot be configured to calculate the sales tax for this Colorado order, because the module does not know where these deliveries are made. How do I get it to charge the Colorado sales tax?

Thanks!

Kristin

Can't believe I figured out how to do this myself! So, for anyone else with this issue, I'll explain how I got it to charge one sales tax rate for the delivery options, regardless of the shipping/billing address:

I defined a new tax zone (I called it Special Delivery to Hotels), where I defined it as United States, All Zones (using All Countries, All Zones did not work for some reason), then I set the tax rate for that zone to be the state tax of Colorado, then I selected this Special Delivery to Hotels zone in the select list module in the admin, and chose Tax Basis as "Store" (because the store is in Colorado, and so are the delivery points, the hotels). Now, the module activates when customer's shipping address is in the United States (wish "All Countries" had worked), and it charges the sales tax for Colorado!

Yay! :clap:

Okay, my solution did not work as well as expected... it worked great when the billing address is not in Colorado, but if it is in Colorado, it charges double tax, so now I am freaking out.

:frusty:
