adding 3 lbs to checkout from nowhere

[ekaterina]

hallo,

 

having still been unable to solve the riddle of making independant zones to the zones.php file

[ see: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=321521 ]. i also cannot figure

out why all my inventory is 1 lb per item and i did manage to place 3:12.50,5:15.00,99:20.00

to line 190. so, 3 or less items would seemingly cost 12.50 to ship. however, at checkout i always

get 3 lbs added to the order totale__+? where does this extra weight come from___+?

 

many thanks to those how have been patient and interested enough to help.

 

amicalement,

Goto configuration > Shipping/Packing > Package Tare Weight (Will be 3, change to 0 and it won't add +3)

[ekaterina]

hallo.

 

thanks for asking. i started this topic here [>]

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=321521

 

i made the following changes [>]

 

line 111 = 5 zones.

 

and i changed all my permissions within FETCH for the zones.php

files in the admin and module folders etc. . and always reinstalling

my zones module afterwards and i cannot make any adjustments.

 

so, i changed this to php file [>]

 

$default_countries = 'CA,AU,AT,BE,GB,FR,DE,GL,IS,IE,IT,NO,NL,DK,PL,ES,SE,CH,FI,PT,IL,GR';

}

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('Zone " . $i ." Countries', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_COUNTRIES_" . $i ."', '" . $default_countries . "', 'CA,AU,AT,BE,GB,FR,DE,GL,IS,IE,IT,NO,NL,DK,PL,ES,SE,CH,FI,PT,IL,GR" . $i . ".', '6', '0', now())");

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('Zone " . $i ." Shipping Table', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_COST_" . $i ."', '3:12.50,5:15.50,99:20.00', 'Shipping rates to Zone " . $i . " destinations based on a group of maximum order weights. Example: 3:8.50,7:10.50,... Weights less than or equal to 3 would cost 8.50 for Zone " . $i . " destinations.', '6', '0', now())");

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('Zone " . $i ." Handling Fee', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_HANDLING_" . $i."', '0', 'Handling Fee for this shipping zone', '6', '0', now())");

}

}

 

all the zones 1 through 5 are now CA,AU,AT,BE,GB,FR,DE,GL,IS,IE,IT,NO,NL,DK,PL,ES,SE,CH,FI,PT,IL,GR but i would

rather have different zones for CA and AU and europe etc . . at least this way anyone placing an order not within the

usa will have a shipping charge. somehow, i imagine my permissions are not being recognized or i am not changing

them properly. naturally, i am very fearful of creating too many drastic alterations to something in which i have little

knowledge. so, my only recourse seems to be changing the actual zones.php which i did to the best of my knowledge.

i was hoping the code existed somewhere to change the php file and bypass the admin screen since it does not recognize

my changes. but, i do not know how to 'add' the necessary code either.

 

i would be most appreciative of moving forward with this issue ;]

 

my thanks again,
