Shipping Estimate in Cart - but for 2.2Rc2a


Mort-lemur

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

I have come across the Shipping Estimate In Cart Contribution for OSC 2.3 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8850 and would like very much to install this on my 2.2 stores. There does not appear to be a support thread for this contribution so I will ask my question here...

 

Does anyone know what is involved to make it backwards compatible with 2.2 ?

 

The code changes are small to Application_top.php and shopping_cart.php so I would imagine this would be a simple'ish task for somebody who knew what they were doing (unlike me) and the rework (I imagine) would be to the shopping_cart.php code changes only

 

Thanks

The scripts used rely on jQuery, so you would need to install that and add it to the head section of the shopping_cart.php. The rest of the changes should work as described in the instructions. This should not be that hard to get working in your stores.Test it first, obviously, so you don't break a live store.

Thanks Jim,

 

I can install the jquery directory as per my 2.3 development site, how would you suggest calling it in the head section of shopping_cart.php?

The same as it is in your 2.3 store:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>

 

Change the path to match where you put the file, and change the filename to match the version of jQuery that you are using.

@@14steve14 I know - but I particularly liked the look and way this one works.

 

Managed to get it incorporated whilst not crashing my site - however when selecting a shipping area the jquery "spinner" just keeps going round - without then displaying any estimates - I wonder if this is because I am using MGZMT shipping module?

OK looks like this may be a non-starter for 2.2 with MZMT Shipping installed.

 

Anyone recommend a shipping estimator that may work ?

 

Many Thanks

This one will work -- I have it running on several of 2.2 stores. It's not just for MVS so ignore that. It is an old-fashioned popup though. I've been meaning to write a more modern version, but you know how that goes.

Thanks Jim,

 

I have installed that, and the buttons all appear, the pop-up box works, but it is only reading the "collection in person" delivery option, it is not reading any of the MGZMT shipping methods - I will pm my site url to you so you can see what I mean.

All I can tell is that MZMT is not working. It should work with any shipping estimator, which leaves the possibility that there is something wrong with MZMT. I have no idea what the problem might be. Sorry for not being of more help.

Thanks Jim,

 

I think the problem lies in the fact that the estimator is looking for $shipcountry and $shippostcode where MGZMTS does not use the postcode function it uses shpzones which are set as a Tax Zone for the purposes of MGZMTS so the estimator is not finding the correct zones.

That's probably the answer. As far as I know, none of the estimators provide Zone information. The one I linked has an option to request State/Province, and that could be made to return the zone with some extra code.

Looks like I will have to live without an estimate shipping in cart mod as none of them appear, as you say, to deal with zones as per MGZMTS, and OSC2.2 isnt new and shiny like OSC 2.3.4.9.8.9.6 so either I wait until I upgrade to a stable 2.3.x version or I post a commercial help request...

Just wanted to let you know MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping mod is broken in 2.3.3.4.

I uploaded a new file with fixes. So if you decide to upgrade your osc, you will need to update the shipping mod.

 

When we left 2.2 for 2.3, we just started from scratch. Installed a new cart and added add ons to the new install.

 

Our latest upgrade to 2.3.3.4 left us with 4 more broken add ons.

Thanks Tim,

 

Ill bear that in mind when / if I upgrade to a 2.3 version.

 

I think too many of the add-ons that I currently personally class as essential would cause me problems in 2.3.x at the present moment.
