    Default Complex Shipping

    I am currently evaluating osCMax with a view to switching over but I have a problem with the shipping that someone will hopefully be able to help with.
    It's basically this:
    I wish to sell products with three different per item rates.
    For example.
    Product X has a flat rate shipping cost of £1.50 Standard per Item
    £2.50 Priority per item
    £3.50 Recorded per Item.

    So 2 of Product X would be £3.00 Standard Shipping.
    £5.00 Priority Shipping
    £7.00 Recorded Shipping

    Can this be done or is their already a mod for it???

    I have looked at the multiple flat rate and royal mail mods, they are close but no cigar!!!!

    Any replies would be gratefuly received.

    Admin>Modules>Shipping>

    Click on:
    Per Item (for a set rate per item in your WHOLE store)
    or
    Individual Shipping Prices (for a item by item rate - edit each item to put in the rate for that item)

    Click on:
    + Install

    Edit as needed...


    Good Luck!

    I tried both of them jpf but what I am looking to do is have an item for sale with three individual shipping costs.

    Second Class £1.50 per item
    First Class £2.50 per item
    Recorded £3.50 per item

    Default RE: Complex Shipping

    Triplicate the modules... Copy and rename

    Go into each and rename the required parts - to make each unique...

    IE: (using the per item module)

    Rename item.php (both in modules/shipping and in the language file) to say:
    item_first.php
    item_second.php
    item_third.php

    In each change all ocurrances of each:
    MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_
    to say
    MODULE_SHIPPING_FIRST_
    MODULE_SHIPPING_SECOND_
    MODULE_SHIPPING_THIRD_
    (according to the new file names)

    Then in the SQL queries in the modules change ALL the "configuration_group_id" which is "6" to a unique number that does not exist on your system (eg: 1001, 1002, 1003 - according to each file).

    In the language files - re-label the tags to match your requirments
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE', 'Per Item');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Per Item');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY', 'Best Way');
    to:
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE', 'First Class');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'First Class');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY', 'Fastest Way');

    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE', 'Second Class');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Second Class');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY', 'Best Way');

    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE', 'Recorded');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Recorded');
    define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY', 'Secured Way');

    or what ever.....

    BACKUP YOUR DB and SITE! (Best to use a test site - not your LIVE DB & site...)

    Go into ADMIN and "install" your new Modules and set your setting and sort order as required....

    TEST!!!!

    DONE!

    Good Luck!
