Delivery Times

[Fergienz]

Hi.

I have a range of delivery times for some stuff i sell.

Some items i can send out right away, some i have to order from a local distributor (ie, be 2 days longer), some i have to order from overseas (a week longer) and some will even be longer.

 

How can i show this.

I don't really want to have to add it to the item description.

And if i check 'out of stock' then it won't show up.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Also, is there a way to allow the user what shipping method they can use.

I want to base my rates on weight, which is fine, but i want them to be able to choose between standard post and courier.

Thanks

Depends on which items are which. If you have an easy way of defining this, you can add that information in a shipping information page, or outline it in the checkout procedure so you can be sure people see if.

Add a courier shipping module.

Hey,.

i found this:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...,stock+on+order

 

which seems to suit what i want.

BUt i'm having difficulty installing it.

 

What do i do for all this:

 

### STEP 2.0 #####################################################

##################################################################

### DATABASE update SQL TO DO to add the delay order for product

### REQUETE SQL pour ajouter dans la base de donn?e le d?lai sur commande

##################################################################

 

###################################

### ALTER TABLE with the query

### OR LOAD the products_on_order.sql file

 

ALTER TABLE `products` ADD `products_on_order` INT(2) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AFTER `products_quantity`;

 

 

 

 

And for this step:

 

###################################

### STEP 3.2 ######################

### OPEN admin/includes/languages/xxx/categories.php

### in all xxx languages used

 

############

### FIND around line 78

define('TEXT_PRODUCTS_QUANTITY', '.../...');

OR FIND

define('TEXT_PRODUCTS_QUANTITY_INFO', '.../...');

### ADD AFTER

 

define('TEXT_PRODUCTS_ON_ORDER', 'Sur Commande, délai:'); // translate in the language

 

### END changing in admin/includes/languages/xxx/categories.php

###################################

 

That 'define' command is only in the foriegn language files - not in the english one. so what should i do?

 

 

Then theres this:

 

###################################

### STEP 4.1 ######################

### OPEN catalog/template/content/product_info.tpl.php

 

 

i can't even find that file! I can;t find the templete folder.

 

 

 

 

Is there another module similar to this? or an easier way to install it?

To upload .sql files, you can run them in phpMyAdmin (choose your database, then click the SQL tab) or you can run it from some other tools (like the command line client).

 

I'm not sure what you're asking about in the second question.

 

The third question: looks like you downloaded the one that says: Only adapted for CRE_Loaded_OSC_6.0_SP1.2_RC2. CRE_Loaded is a templating contribution. You obviously don't want this version of the contribution if you don't have that contribution already installed. You'll want the version that is "only adapted for MS2".

 

As far as other contributions: there are about 3000 contributions. Who knows if there's a better one? Do some searching, because people sometimes don't describe their contributions very well. I do not personally know of another one.
