lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I am trying to set up shipping rates based on weight with 2 prices per item, 1 for UK, 1 for the Rest of the World. Sounds fairly straightforward! My problem sounds so simple that most of you will laugh at me , but I can take it!! <_< How do I set up 2 zones? I edited zones.php so that it says $this->num_zones = 2; and saved it. I went to Modules>Shipping>Zone Rates, made sure it was enabled, but I only get the option of Zone 1, which is set to UK. Zone 1 shipping table says 1:3,2:5 (weight 1 - ?3.50, weight 2 - ?5) Zone 1 handling fee is set to 0. I have a bunch of empty boxes under that. Questions... 1 - Could it be the Sort Order? At the moment, Flat Rate Table Rate, Per Item Rate and Zone Rate are all set to Sort Order=0. 2 - In My Store>Configuration>Zone, the drop-down box under "The Zone My Store is Located In" is empty, no zones in there at all. 3 - It's probably something REALLY simple that I haven't done, but with the info above, can someone PLEASE tell me where I've gone wrong? I just want 2 zones, is all :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Hey there I am not quite sure what you are trying to do. For a start off you have mistakehere: Zone 1 shipping table says 1:3,2:5 (weight 1 - ?3.50, weight 2 - ?5) To get your weight 1 to be ?3.50, it would have to be 1:3.5, Secondly the 1 or 2 is the actual weight of the item, in whichever unit you wish to use. I have done mine in grams, so my UK shipping table looks like this: 60:0.28,100:0.42,150:0.60,200:0.75,300:1.01,400:1.37,500:1.74,600:2.10, 700:2.64,800:3.06,900:3.36,1000:3.32,1500:4.27,2000:4.58,6000:7.54, 8000:8.59,10000:9.23,30000:10.76,999000:1000.00 So, in the first one, 60g is the weight and 0.28 is the price.

lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 thanks Julie. It's not actually the shipping rates thats my problem ( I realised the mistake after I'd posted...). It's much easier than that. I can only seem to get 1 zone, but I need 2! How do I get the second zone to show up, to allow me to put in the coutries codes and shipping rates for it?

Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Um - pass. All I did was change $this->num_zones = 1; } to $this->num_zones = 4; } and everything was fine. Where you say you've got a "bunch of empty boxes", is that all they are? Just boxes with no text above them. It should say: Zone 2 Countries Comma separated list of two character ISO country codes that are part of Zone 2. [box] Zone 2 Shipping Table Shipping rates to Zone 2 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 2 destinations. [box] Zone 2 Handling Fee Handling Fee for this shipping zone [box] Have you tried putting your zone info eg weights, countries etc in the boxes anyway and see what happens? Note - you won't be able to fit all the codes from all the countries in the world, the field will only take so many characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Just tried that - no joy :( I have $this->num_zones = 2; and I have 3 empty boxes, so based on your last post, I thought they must be Countries in Zone 2, Shipping Table and Handling fee. So I filled in the appropriate details, and pressed Update. It simply re-loaded that page, and the boxes were empty again... I feel there is a setting somewhere else that's screwing this up for me. Any ideas? Cheers Lonotemusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Um - fraid I'm gonna have to defer to the experts on this one - I never had any problems so I haven't the foggiest. If it was only that the text wasn't showing but the fields were actually functioning OK, then I would say it was a problem with the languages file. But as the fields aren't functioning either, then it may be a database problem. But I don't know what or how to fix it. It might not be that at all, I am just guessing. Anyone else got any ideas. Which version are you on BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'm using 2.2ms2. I've really messed up now! I thought I'd try the answer to everything else to do with Windoze - uninstall/reinstall. BAD MOVE! I clicked the REMOVE button, and now it won't let me INSTALL it again! Did you ever have one of those days???!?!? :wacko: Cheers, Dumpling-head! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Quick update Wihtout any interventio from me whatsoever, the empty drop-down box (to indicate which zone my store is in) is no longer empty! I didn't touch it! *think I've had too many wine gums...* :blink: Now if I can just re-install the zone payment system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonotemusic Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Quick update #2... Got it working :) My partner (who does all the database work) discovered that one of the scripts had been corrupted on upload, so a quick re-upoad, and viola! Though what a big violin has to do with it is anyone's guess... ;) Cheers Lonotemusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
