Zone rates - wrong formula?

[JorgeTeixeira]

Hello.

 

I am trying to program "zone rates" module for some couple of days and I am facing some issues.

 

At first, I thought it was strange that if I set, for example, 50:1 200:4, for that unit range, the system would charge the double ($2, $8) everytime.

 

Now I realize that it is working by ranges, but some sort of correlation inside of ranges (sorry, but I can't describe it better). For instance, taking the previous example, if I had a product of 150 units, the system charges $3!!! (50 x 3).

 

Anyone had this problem?

 

I didn't make any change in this files, except the shipping module where I changed to "3" - I want to use 3 different zones.

 

Thanks

I would =guess= that the system is splitting the order into more than 1 package.

This is a setting in admin, under configuration > shipping (I think)

[JorgeTeixeira]

In Configuration there is "shipping/packaging" and inside of that there is "package tare weight" and "larger packages - percentage increase".

 

Should I put "0" on both?

Try it, report back.

[JorgeTeixeira]

Did it. Well, it changed a little bit the price, but the overall situation remais the same. :(

check again how the zone rates should look are you maybe missing a comma there

 

Example

 

Geo Zone 1 Shipping Table 1

01:3.00,50:3.00,100:3.0,101:3.75,151:5.00, etc ......1500:45.00

Thanks for replying. I already double checked that a couple of times.

 

For instance, right now I have 20:0.35,50:0.60,100:0.65,250:1.2,500:2

 

and I have a shipping of $1.80 for a produt of 110 units. (w00t)

[Chris H]

No, burt is referring to

 

admin > Configuration > Shipping/Packaging > Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship

 

Just for a test, change the '50' to something astronomic like 999999. Your 110 kg order is being split over 3 packages, because

 

100 < 110 < 150

 

And because of your '50:0.60' the charge is $0.60 each, which is where the $1.80 comes from.

sitting with my calculator trying to work out where it was coming from hahah so sounds good :thumbsup:

[JorgeTeixeira]

Chris, you are the boss! :D

 

I can't believe how much time I spent just because of that setting.

 

 

I did a quick test now and everything looks great. I will make a few more tests later, but it looks fine now! :)

 

Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

[JorgeTeixeira]

Now the module is working fine. o:)

 

Two last questions about it... when a costumer checkouts and choose the shipping method he sees "zone rate" and below "XPTO LB(s)".

 

I would like to know where can I change both names. Is it on the languages files in:

 

- define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_TITLE', 'Zone Rates');

 

- define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS', 'lb(s)');

 

If so, can I change without problem to "registered mail" and "Kg" without any problem?

[JorgeTeixeira]

Yes, I can. :)

[JorgeTeixeira]

Actually, I still have one more question! :D

 

After selecting the shipping more, there is the following message and the price.

 

Shipping to AD : 40.5 g(s) €1.20

 

Where can I change the color of the font and the background?

 

I am not finding anything about this part in the css file.

 

Thanks.

The data is passed out from zones.php, on the version I am looking at the code is on line 142.

 

$shipping_method = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_WAY . ' ' . $dest_country . ' : ' . $shipping_weight . ' ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_UNITS;

[JorgeTeixeira]

Thanks Geoffrey, but I still don't know how to identify that part in the css file.

 

What's the code that I have to insert in order to do it?

 

Thanks

[♥geoffreywalton]

Have a look in the zones.php file to find the div or other wrapper that can be used to specify which font/background to be used.

 

Then once you know that youcan either edit the relevant section in the css or add new sections.
