Shipping - just one zone?

[julia_peculiar]

Hi,

 

I thought I would set up my shipping by zone rates, but can only input prices for Zone 1, and can see no way to set up others. I can't cover the world on local shipping costs or charge overseas rates to buyers inland, and I don't imagine everyone else is either, so what am I doing wrong? (Or what aren't I doing at all?). I'm very new to this, so please feel free to state the obvious - it might not be as 'in yer face' to someone as clueless as I am :)

 

Thanks for any advice.

If you go to catalog/includes/modules/shipping you will find zones.php and inside that file there is

      // CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED
     $this->num_zones = 1;

 

Change that to the number you need and to acitivate that new number of zones go to your admin and first uninstall the zones module and directly after that install it again.

You will then have the equivalent zones as you defined. If you don't do the uninstall/install step you will see the extra zones alright but with no text to it.

Hope this helps.
