new staticlist shipping module

Kristen, You're on the right track. Tax charges are not a function of the static list shipping mod, or any of the other shipping mods for that matter; rather taxes are handled in the tax zone configuration pages. Best of luck. -- Rick

Used your Static List - Shipping Module

worked beautifully after modifying

$this->num_options

for additional options.

Thanks

I have installed this module and it works great for one product purchases; however, when someone orders more than one item they get free shipping on any additional item.

I have this set up to offer 4 types of shipping like standard, overnight, etc. My shipping charges are based upon a per item basis because I am using a dropshipper who charges me per item.

Can this be modified to multiply the price by the number of items?

Example:
customer order quantity 2 of an item that costs $30. The shipping cost should be $12 x 2 or $24. I charge the same rate for every item.

Thanks.

Hello subvenio,

I think one of the table rate modules may suit your purposes better than staticlist, which as you point out will apply a single charge to the customer's entire cart regardless of weight or number of items.

I have the free shipping module installed, yet I keep getting this error even after I setup a regular item which is not setup under free shipping....

Error: Shipping Methods not configured
staticlist (ignored)

I have repeatedly updated the settings on the module but nothing seems to work... :(

Does anybody know how to turn off the free shipping module and configure the static list properly??? I have tried everything, but the site will not go forward without the free shipping module being active...

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks Rick for your work on this. I tried to make something like this myself and ran into that same issue where all checkout pages show the incorrect shipping method .. it always appears as "name (value 1)" even when you have value 2, value 3, etc actually selected.

Yours works great though, I should have googled first:oops:

A picture, perhaps, is worth a thousand words. The screenshot shows the staticlist shipping module used to allow the customer to select from four Delivery options, each priced at $0.00. The descriptions and prices can be changed through the admin. This is one possible use of the staticlist shipping module. Change the heading "Delivery" to whatever works for your situation. The UPS module is shown for reference. -- Rick

Hi...I've been going crazy trying to get this module to work. :-(

Can someone tell me exactly how to set up the shipping modules in admin..like what to disable or enable for this one to work? I tried all ways but nothing seems to make the staticlist show...like if I disable all other shipping and choose just this one, it gives a message saying not available at this time??

Oh and I do have free shipping for my entire store also..if this helps to solve the problem?

Please help!

Thanks so much.

Hi, this mod is working great!
Is there a way to add additional text filed, so customer can enter any comments?
I know there is zencart default comments box is available, but it will be even nicer if the text comments box only appear when this mode is activated.
I am using this to offer in store pickup option to my customer, so it is only activated when customer order from CA.

Do you have a quick soultion?

thanks in advance.

Hello -

This is possible, but unfortunately I do not have the time to do it right now. Best of luck.

Hi Rick

Been playing with your staticlist module to try and get it to do what I want.

Basically I want two shipping options when shipping zone is Domestic (in this case Australia) and a different two shipping options when shipping zone is Non-Domestic (that is International/Non-Australia).

Any ideas on how I can define a Non-Australian (rest of the world) zone for staticlist2?? I tried to see if I could somewhere put statement such as "if country <> Australia" but got completely lost! :D

Also when I select a zone in the shipping module I get a yellow light, but if I select "none" as the zone I get a green light. I can't seem to work out what is causing this. Wonder if you have any ideas?

Thanks for looks like a very useful module. Still ploughing through setting up my site!

Alan

Hello Alan --

With regard to configuring a shipping zone, try creating one zone that represents Australia and then create another zone for the rest of the world. No coding necessary.

With regard to yellow/green, I haven't confirmed this, but as I recall yellow indicates that the option(s) controlled by a module appear conditionally whereas green indicates that they always appear regardless of the state of the customer's cart.

Rick

Hi Rick

Thank you for your reply. I will have to figure out how to make a "rest of the world" zone. (I best get searching!!). I did try with staticlist1 set up for Australia and staticlist2 set up for world but that didn't work as I got both display boxes when I used an Australian address. Obviously that is because Australia also appears in the world zone - so now I just have to figure out how make a world zone with Australia removed.

OK also on the green/yellow lights. I was assuming (not a good thing to do) that the yellow meant I had done something wrong, but if it just means that it's a conditional indicator then that is OK.

Thanks again for you help
Alan

Hi Rick

Just to let you know I managed to make a Domestic and an International Zone by following these instructions by Ajeh:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=224888&postcount=5

(modified of course for my location - Australia) and all appears to be working well.

Thanks again for your help and the module!!

Alan

I'm glad it's working, Alan.

And thanks for the link the post about configuring an international zone.

Cheers,
Rick

Hi, wonder if anyone can help me?

I would like to use staticlist and staticlist2 on the same page

(delivering to certain companies, so they're listed with staticlist, and then the dept is selected with staticlist2)

works fine, except that, because of the radiobutton grouping, you can only select 1 option in both modules

dug through the code and can't seem to find the bit that creates the html for the display of the list

thanks in advance

I found several posts with the same issue but no resposes to any of them so here goes a shot in the dark.

The static list shipping module sounds perfect for our funeral flowers (select funeral home) but once I uploaded the 4 files it never appears in Admin --> Modules --> Shipping for me to install it there. I have turned off every other shipping module thinking there may be a conflict but still no luck. Any Ideas?

We have Zen Cart 1.3.7 with PHP 5.1.2 and MySql 4.1.22.
Some of our other modules include Local Sales Tax, SMS on Sale, and Column Layout Grid

THanks,

I am using Zencart 1.37 with Static list and the Paypal IPN.

I use Static List to let the cutomer choose from Shipping Address Locations (IE Funeral Homes) But when they get to paypal Paypal shows the delivery address as their billing address not what was sellected in static list. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hmm... What happens when you use a different shipping module and then pay via paypal? --Rick

@dgmdan -- That particular bug had me stumped for a long while. Once I figured it out I documented it as best as I could in the code, because other developers of shipping modules could run into it. Glad you like the module and that it is working for you. As an aside, I saw your note here when you first posted months ago--and thanks for commiserating and for the note of support--but I breezed past because I was juggling too many things. -Rick

When using Flat Rate shipping IF the customer changes the dilivery address from the default same as Billing address it is passed through to PayPal.

I replaced delivery address with the static list but it reads as a Delivery Method instead of Delivery Address so its not passed on to paypal as a delivery address. Not sure how to get it to read as delivery address instead of Method.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
