Shipping cost per product

[ianao]

Hello

 

I'm having a real problem trying to find a reliable module to use for a shipping cost field for each product. I don't mean one flat rate for all items, just a field on each product page where you can enter a different shipping cost.

 

I've tried the contributions, but nothing seems to work (i.e. either Oscommerce falls to pieces or all the shipping modules are removed from the page). Does anyone know of a fool-proof way to do this? It seems like such an obvious requirement as some products are bulkier than others, I thought it would be easy to do.

 

Any help would be like cold water in a desert.

 

Thanks

Hi Chris,

 

Sorry to jump in as the support thread of this contribution was unable to access!

 

I am confused in the install instruction of file How_To_Install_individual_shipping_4.5.txt in line 90

/catalog/checkout_shipping.php
------------------------------

Change:

'cost' => $quote[0]['methods'][0]['cost']);

for:

// start indvship
                               //'cost' => $quote[0]['methods'][0]['cost']);
                               'cost' => $quote[0]['methods'][0]['cost'],
                               'invcost' => $shipping_modules->get_shiptotal());
                               // end indvship

Does the "change-for" mean "replace-with"?
