Zones.php question

[Avium]

Hi guys,

 

I'm planning to use multiple duplicates of the zones.php shipping file because I'm using the zones system, but will be offering various options like surface mail, registered air mail, EMS and the likes.

 

Aside from creating new zones.php files (renamed differently of course) and putting them under the modules/shipping folder for both the catalog and the catalog language folder, what else must I do?

[paulrus]

I hate to add a "me too" post - but since I'm having problems with the USPS International module I need to create some zones ASAP to fix the problem.

 

We only ship to Japan, but I need to set up the option of Airmail, Economy Mail, EMS, and Parcel Post.

 

Thanks for any replies.

Can't you just use USPSMethods Contribution?

It includes all the Int'l mailing options..

[paulrus]

Well I posted this a couple of topics below - the USPS international module is currently not functioning properly on my install. It comes back with "ERROR" whenever you try to check out. It's worked fine for the past year and a half and suddenly started screwing up - I haven't touched the code on my site since we launched, so I'm guessing the USPS is doing something different.

So... does anyone have any idea if multiple zones.php will work?

Hi,

 

yes, you can have multiple zone files, but you will need to rename the constants throughout.

 

For instance, wherever you find things like:

 

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_TITLE

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_DESCRIPTION

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_SORT_ORDER

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TAX_CLASS

 

etc, you would need to give them new names such as:

 

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES2_TEXT_TITLE

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES2_TEXT_DESCRIPTION

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES2_SORT_ORDER

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES2_TAX_CLASS

 

This is so that separate entries are held in the database for the 2 different zone arrangements.

 

Note, you have to make these changes in both the file in /catalog/includes/modules/shipping/ and the one in /catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

 

HTH,

Paulrus,

Have you contacted the USPS. They have made some changes and they will be happy to help.. They are familiar with OSCommerce. What OSC version are you running? The USPS Methods for MS! & MS2 version runs great. One question, have you recently added any new contributions?

I have USPSMethods running on a test sight and when I load MasterProducts I lost functions from the general.php in both catalog and admin and the same for both modules.php. Now, I log each file that has been changed when contributions are added. Then when I want to load a new contribution for testing I run a text comparison program on any files that are going to change in the new contribution against the same existing file I already have running. It sure eliminates a lot of problems later. My USPSMethods I added several lines of code to include, in the costs presented to the customer, preset standards for insurance, registered, delivery confirmation, delivery receipt, signature confirmation. Right now the $$$ levels are hard coded but I am working on making it configurable from admin, i.e. turn services on or off, set $$ amounts at which to apply. I had to fly by the seat of my pants on this one, other than insurance there just aren't any other contributions that fit.

If I can be of help please let me know.

[paulrus]

Thanks. I haven't actually touched any of the code in well over a year. I'm running OSC 2.2 CVS June 2002 release. Because we did a lot of customization for the Japanese market we've never been able to update it beyond what we're running.

 

I went with zones for now - basically there is only 1 zone and that is Japan. I'll probably add multiple zones, but I don't know if I'll add multiple versions to compensate for various shipping options. I'll probably just leave it with airmail for under 4 pounds and parcel post for everything over that.

 

Thanks

Hi Cass,

 

it sounds like mainly you missed the language files and also something else, which I will cover in due course.

 

First of all, make copies of the /catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/zones.php and call it zones2.php (in the same folder obviously). Then change add the 2's as required inside the file, like before.

 

The last error message you quote there is something different. I think you need to revisit your /catalog/modules/shipping/zones.php file. You should have changed the name of the class itself from zones to zones2 but I suspect this is not the case.

[czar]

I have a similar Problem and maybee someone can help:

 

I dublicated the zones.php and renamed to zones_ups.php. I defined the countries and shipping cocts and it also shows on the certain plaace where the customer can choose the shipping.

 

BUT

When he comes to the last page of the ordering process and he had chosen the dublicated zones module the shipping module is set back to the original zones.php module and its costs.

 

Can somepn explain ths= I renamed all zones into zones_ups in the zones_ups file, also the class and code and texts and so on. Also created the language files. AND I HAVE NO ERRORS; BUT IT DOESN'T WORK

 

Please help me

[tahuti]

Maybe you still need to install the new zones2 module from the admin shipping modules section?
