MAL Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hi, I would like to define tow rates pour tow diffrents zones. For exemple: Zone 1 = Country 1 and country 2 : Price 5$. Zone 2 = Country A and country B : Price 10$. I tried to do that in the 'Shipping Modules', but it seem's as we can do-it only for one zone !! I tried to find other solution but without success. Please, could anybody help me by telling me how to do that ? many thanks, Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 you group several countries into one tax zone and then you assign the new zone to the shipping module as the shipping zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks enigma1, Which shipping module permit to do that ? because the shipping module that i have (Zone Rates) permit me to define a list of countries for one zone only.

Guest Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 its not the shipping module its the tax zones on the admin->location taxes->modules->tax zones This where you need to create a new zone (not just the folder) and assign the countries you need to it.

Ok, I created tow zones (Z1 and Z2). But i still not know what to do now. In the "Shipping Modules" i have the following modules: - Flat Rate - Per Item - Table Rate - United Parcel Service - United States Postal Service - Zone Rates I tried the "Zone Rates" but it does not allowed me to assign rates for the tow zones. At this point i do not know what to do!! Could you help me ? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 now you simply go to whatever shipping module you want to use for these zone Z1 or Z2, select its "Shipping Zone" and assign the Z1 or Z2 zone to it. I believe by default they all start with "None" selected. The zone rates specifically for some reason, does not have a shipping zone to select; and my opinion is that this a bug in that module. But you could easily modify it to add this functionality from another module like UPS or USPS (they have the drop down list for the shipping zones). You could also check the shipping contributions for an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have now 2 differents rates for 2 distincts zones. Thanks again for your help, Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo_UK Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 If using the Zone Based Rates shipping module that comes with OSC, then you can easily make more zones.... Open the zones.php file in a text editor, or whatever you normally use.... zones.php is in catalog/includes/modules/shipping/ read the bit of text near the top of the file By default, the module comes with support for 1 zone. This can be easily changed by editing the line below in the zones constructor that defines $this->num_zones. so then all you have to do is scroll down to about line 111, then change the number to however many zones you need.

Guest Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 and what happens if I have 10 countries that use the same tax zone? Why should I edit 10 different set of fields instead of fixing the bug in that module? If you copy the code from another module you could also assing any type of zone not just countries to it.

MAL Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Enzo and anigma1, Both remarks are relevants, the best thing would be the ability to have more zones with the possibilities to assign zones instead of a list of countries. As i'm new to OSC i will try using your remarks to fix that , but i will probably need some time to do that. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
