janggu Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Hello, I don't see a button or link for adding additional shipping modules in "Shipping Modules" page. Also, is it possible to have a flat rate for different shipping methods and zones? For instance, to charge $A for Canada, $B for US and $C for overseas by regular mail and different rates for express something like that. Thanks very much in advance! Quote
Guest Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 there are a few modules preinstalled in the shipping area(at least 6) and if more are needed, then you install the particular contribution you want / need to use. then after installation, go back into shipping, select the module you want to install and click on install Quote
janggu Posted June 28, 2004 Author Posted June 28, 2004 The preinstalled shipping modules are not good for me. What I need is to have three shipping zones (Canada, USA and International) with two types of shipping methods (regular, express). However, I have no idea how to set this up. Please help!!! :( Quote
TerryK Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 If you're setting up your shipping using flat rate for all of them (but with different prices per region/shipping method), you should be able to duplicate the /catalog/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php file numerous times to cover each instance. In earlier posts in this forum, I've provided a link to a post that explains how to do that. On my site, I'm using different table-based shipping for overseas and US orders, and zone-based shipping for Canadian orders. Once you have an understanding of the duplication process, it's really not hard at all.

janggu Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks Terry. Do you mind posting the URL again that was mentioned in your previous post? "In earlier posts in this forum, I've provided a link to a post that explains how to do that." Thanks a lot! Quote

Though the forum search function isn't the greatest, sometimes it's worth browsing through the posts in a relevant section to see what's been covered. Or, putting in a single, fairly specific keyword or phrase (like, for example, "duplicate shipping") to see what comes up. Yes, it can be time-consuming but I sure found it the best way to learn the ins and outs of osC.
