osCommerce 2.2- no checkout unless 'free shipping'

[Guest]

osCommerce 2.2-CVS.

 

All transactions will not proceed to checkout even will all shipping modules enabled. As long as 'Free shipping' module is enabled it is the default and the ONLY shipping method available... ? It doesn't matter if I turn all other modules off except one other one... if 'free shipping' is not enabled, no checkout!

 

Does someone have an idea what would cause this weirdity?

 

Thank you for any help

When one enters items for purchase... proceeding to checkout they receive:

 

-----quote--------------

Shipping Method

 

This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.

-----/quote-------------

 

and there is no shipping method mentioned. Again, it matters not which shipping module is enabled.... it WILL NOT proceed unless the 'Free Shipping' module is one of those enabled.

 

No checkout is possible presently unless it is with free shipping.

Make sure your the shipping modules you want to view are setup in the proper ZONE or set to NONE for all to see. Shipping modules that are in a ZONE only are displayed to users that are in that ZONE.

 

Also doulbe check all the other settings of the modules you want to use, and make sure they are setup correctly. Also make sure that if you are using one for real-time quotes that you have the correct account information, etc.

 

Sounds like you just have a ZONE problem or the modules are not installed correctly.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I believe you are right about this being a ZONE problem... and/or misconfiguration of a contrib.

 

The issue I see now is that in the version of osC I am configuring (osCommerce 2.2-CVS) therre is not an option in the shipping module administration to assign ZONES. There is in my other install which is osCommerce 2.2-MS2. On the installatin I must get fixed, I have two colored buttons... a green for activation and a red for making inactive... and in the details for each shipping module none of them include the 'tax class' or 'shipping zone' option. I am wondering if this installation (it is a friend's) has a mis-matched "module vs osC version" as far as on of the shipping modules is concerned. I just am unsure as to how to either install a new shipping section or remove the code from a messed up contrib if that is the case. There is not a specific mention of the free shipping code in the contributions area. A few sections of code I have found referencing it directly indicate code referenced such:

 

// BOF: WebMakers.com Added: Free Shipping and Payments

// Needs to be reset no matter what

if (tep_session_is_registered('shipping')) tep_session_unregister('shipping');

// EOF: WebMakers.com Added: Free Shipping and Payments

 

I am trying to isolate the code for this contrib to see if it is causing the issue. The site above lists a new version which is entirely different and geared to 'downloads' where the existing installation I am attempting to fix is for a site selling cheeses and such.

 

Is it possible to 'replace' the shipping module with a fresh one? I will keep working at it... if there are other suggestions, please reply.

 

Thank you,

If you are using an old CVS version of 2.2 and not the latest 2.2 MS2 version then it will be next to impossible to help you unless you find someone with the exact or very close version you have. Since from 2.2 MS1 and 2.2 MS2 there where many changes, so if you are PRE-MS1 there could be drastic issues that just cannot be fixed by me. You may want to upgrade to MS2 this sounds like it will solve your problem.
