How can I install the bug fix manually? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you download and read the install instructions, you will see that to update you just overwrite the module file. There is no need to overwrite the language file and there is no need to uninstall/reinstall the module.

It should be fixed now: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2571 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The problem with the Canada Post Mod is that you are forced into using prices set by Canada post. You can really add in extra costs for things like packaging and handling (like if you have to pay someone to package and send things out for you). I also so a lot of people having trouble with that mod so I stayed away. To complicate matters Canada Post will only be used to ship to people who order from Canada or anywhere in the world except the USA. We have a small storage space in the USA because we live right accross the border. It is cheaper for us to travel accross the border and send by the US Postal service.... and it is much faster for usa customers. This is why I like the multitable mod... we can set the prices and rates on what they truely are. not what Canada post forces us to use as a value.

Chuckler Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi dreamscape ... I have one more question if I may: // class methods function quote($method = '') { global $order; $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code, 'module' => constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_' . $this->delivery_geozone . '_TEXT_TITLE') . ' (' . $shipping_weight . ' lbs)', 'methods' => array()); This section here doesn't work for me, it shows this: This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order. Brisbane Shipping Options ( lbs) So, I changed the "lbs" to (' . $shipping_weight . $MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS . ')', as MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS is defined in /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php as define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'kg(s)'); but now it displays : This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order. Brisbane Shipping Options () Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckler Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Scratch that, I'll do it the easy way: Hi dreamscape ... I have one more question if I may: // class methods ? ?function quote($method = '') { ? ? ?global $order; ? ? ?$this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?'module' => constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_' . $this->delivery_geozone .

dreamscape Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 you have to add $shipping_weight to the global variables. i.e., change `global $order;` to `global $order, $shipping_weight;` Quote The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckett_jw Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I am having problems moving from MRMT to MZMT. This is the steps that I took: * Removed the MRMT module from the shipping modules in admin * Deleted the two mrmt.php files * Installed per the instructions Now customers cannot login. Items can be added to the cart, but when we check out, the login form takes us back to the login screen. Anyone have any ideas? -jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilok Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Hope this is not a stupid question. But what is the use/purpose of more than 1 table per geo region? never mind figured it out after reading define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_1_TABLE_1_TEXT_WAY', 'Ground'); define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_1_TABLE_2_TEXT_WAY', 'Second Day'); define('MODULE_SHIPPING_MZMT_GEOZONE_1_TABLE_3_TEXT_WAY', 'Next Day'); Edited December 1, 2004 by ilok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckett_jw Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I am trying to come up with a way to rovide free shipping on specific products. I was woundering about the possiability of putting the price in the wieght field and setting MZMT to base shipping on weight. Then we could put 0 for wieght on the products that we wanted free shipping. Anyone doing this? Anyone have any suggestions?

That would exclude any products with zero weight from the shipping calculation (they'd have free shipping).

When you put in a products info in the admin area set its weight to 0.... and in the shipping table for this module set 0 weight to 0 dollars. Also by default osCommerce sets a default package tare weight of 3 lbs... meaning that 3lbs is added to the weight of every order on top of what you have set in your tables for this module. To set the tare weight to $0 you need to go to Configuration> Shipping/Packaging > Package Tare Weight in the admin Good luck Eric B Quote AJ2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if there is a mod that will work with this mod that will print out a shipping table so customers can see the shipping rates. I tried using the shipping table contrib but it only showed the highest price for the countries and not for the zones. Thanks for any information you can give.

JoeMcManus Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi, First of all, thanks for the great contribution. Have a question though... I bought a Royal Mail database with 3500 postcode groups. I know which ones are Islands or remote areas and want additional delivery fees for those. So I will group them into Shp: Tax Zones and set up a different table for them. But your code references it by 'Zones' which I assume refer to States/Counties. So the customer's state/county part of the address is matched against one of these Tax Zone 'Zones' from the DB and the shipping set accordingly. I need to hack it so it references it against the customer's ZIP/Post code, not the State/County. I'm not that proficient in OO programming but should be able to code it old skool style. Could you guide me to the right bit of code though please? Quote Johan a.k.a. T0PS3O elsewhere. Contributed Barclay's ePDQ Payment Module though not originally mine. Made it work though...
