Multi Vendor Shipping

[drillsar]

A new project_project entry has been added:
Multi Vendor Shipping - osCMax - osCommerce Maximized

This contribution changes the way Oscmax handles shipping. You can now set the shipping parameters for each product individually. All of the following (and more) are possible:
1. Most products ship by a selection of standard shipping methods, but certain large and heavy items ship by truck.
2. Products ship from one of two or more locations.

ok well i got the permissions sorted out, just read a sql book all makes sense now thx for the advice.
I have another error when i try to buy items from multiple vendors( the default vendor and one I added) redirects fine .

However when I checkout an item from a vendor (or multiple vendors I have created)
It gives me "The page isn't redirecting properly,ffx has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete" error.
The Title bar shows this which I think is the
error can you gimme some insight as to where to find the answer.

Hi!
Are you sure you have applied a shipping mod to each vendor?

Also, are you sure your products all have vendors associated with them?

[mithereal]

yup my vendors do have shipping mods assigned, all my products have vendors assigned
What I did:
I modded for ups dimensional support 1.2.6
here is my code for store/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php,
http://mithereal.pastebin.com/m7f14953b
If someone could look over it and submit ne corrections would be appreciated, just want someone that knows more to take a look at my code and see if i missed something.
Problem:
Here I have 3 vendors, 1- my default store ship method 2- my freight ship method and 3 my flat rate only shipping.
I can choose a product from either my store only, my freight method only or both store and freight and works great, however on ship method #3 gives the error
Redirect Loop
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
url in address bar:
/store/checkout_payment.php?osCsid=xxxxx
Here's a link to my checkout_shipping.php and.tpl
If someone could look over it and also submit ne corrections, I'm teaching myself php so any input would be very helpful |checkout_shipping.php|

Have you ever activated another shipping module before this? I remember having the same problem and I think it was related to that. If I remember, I fixed it by turning off ALL shipping mods getting a copy of the database via phpadmin installing the new DB (with a new name) and editing my config files accordingly. In other words, I don't know what I did...but it worked after that! I had another problem related to this to but i cannot remember exactly what the symptoms were. I had forgotten to put weights in all of my products, so I was getting errors. I will try to look at your code a little later today or tomorrow. I am a learner too, I like Larry Ullman's book PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites. Larry Ullman is a good teacher, but I also read PHP for Dummies before getting into his book.

well i figured it out, just a bug in packProducts function , fixed it by following the instructions in UPS XML Rates and Services v1.2.7 and 1.26 cleared all up, now the interesting thing is when i only select one item, should be going into a single 12X12X12 box but when i check out it displays United Parcel Service (XML) (3 pkg(s), 2.38 lbs total).
Under the product description i set it to 12x12x12 with 1lb as weight,
it duplicates the boxes on every item added to the cart, Causing the totals be wrong because of the incorrect box specs.

Good! Glad you figured out part of it! The UPS XML thing...I don't know, I have not messed with the that mod yet, but I will need to pretty soon! I have found if I can get to the point of understanding the programmers intention, I can usually figure a problem out eventually.
