Using Dual Zones Contribution

[msaunders]

Hello

 

I am trying to setup mutiple Zones for shipping costs. I am trying to edit the line '$this->num_zones' so I can increase the default from 1 zone to 5 or 6 . Does anyone know where this variable is ? Has anyone used this ?

 

thanks

Try opening up the module itself which you will find in catalog/includes/modules/shipping

 

The variable should be near the top of the file :)

Hmm, if it is I cant see it ..

You are looking in the language file not the module itself :)

 

Find the file in includes/modules/shipping

 

not

 

includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

 

You will see at around line 108

 

// CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED

$this->num_zones = 1;

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong zones.php .. But , Im still a bit confused.. After I edited the file to show 5 zones, and uploaded it , when I go to modules>shipping> I cant see Zones or anywhere to select which zone I want to setup ... I can see new refernces to International post Air and Econ , is that the 2 zones ?

 

thanks

[msaunders]

Aaaargh, IM so stupid, I see it now.

 

In the modules>shippping section, whenI click on the Air I see Zone1, when I click on Econ I see Zone 2 .

 

So basically, I can edit the zone.php and zoneecon.php file to my own requirements.

 

thanks again.

[msaunders]

Um, no, im wrong again....

 

I cant see that , that was something I had done by mistake.

 

Ok, If I edit ZONES.php and change the value to say 5 zones.

Where then do I define those 5 zones ??? can someone put me out of my misery ? (no smart comments please)

 

thanks

Make sure that you disable and the enable the zones module if you change the number of zones.

 

Then go to the admin tool / modules / shipping click on the shipping module you want to edit and then click on the edit button :)

[msaunders]

When U say disable/enable ..

u mean-modules>shipping> International Parcel Post - AIR - edit - disable ??

 

Cause thats what I am seeing

[msaunders]

Oh, hang on ....My mistake again. I changed the module from active to inactive, then back to active, and voila , I can see my 5 zones etc. Thats what

 

your a star sparky, thanks....
