Since I realized from this thread that the weight-based shipping didn't have an All Zones function, I decided I'd throw one in quickly. While I was in the code, I decided I might as well add a Base Cost field too, letting you set a base cost that's added to the weight-based rate.

Basically just upload the files in the "upload" folder and it replaces your weight-based shipping module. I'll point Q to this as well, so it will hopefully be added into the core in the future.

Will be added to next version (1.4.9.5 or 1.5.x).
Didn't notice your reply to the 1.4.9.4 release till now.

Thanks!

No problem -- thanks

Hi Jonathon,

I think that in catalog/model/shipping/weight.php
(two occurences) should maybe be: If the calculated rate is zero (because the order is too heavy), instead of not appearing as a shipping option, it will allow shipping for basecost alone.

Hi Mystifier-

Thanks for the suggestion. Personally, if an order is out of the weight range I would prefer not to show it (since it's probably too heavy for me to ship) but other people may want to use your solution. Thoughts on improvement are always appreciated.

Yea, If base cost is 5.00 and 10lb cart is 5.00 + 6.00
But you didnt add a range for 20lb, it would show as just 5.00 and that would not be good

That's my point! You definitely don't want it to show if it is over-weight.

As it stands, if the item is over maximum shipping, instead of not showing, it will set the shipping to the base cost.

10:15.00,20:25.00 with a base cost of $1 would set shipping to $1 for a weight of over 20Kg

Oh, sorry! I thought your comment:

was talking about the change you suggested. Yeah, it should definitely work like you said. I've updated the attachment with the new version, so Q, make sure you get that one when you add it in.

Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on me.

No worries. I use a number of your extensions and they have been very useful; this mod should also without question be absorbed into the core since you are happy that it should be.

ok watching

Any update on this?

I attached the version with the bugfix to the original post. There have been no changes since then.

oh ok.. got it. Thanks

It seems that it can't be used on 1.5.
Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot.

I have uploaded this mod however when I try to edit it, my page is blank ? HELP !

This was added to the core in 1.4.9.5 and will be ported into 1.5.x now that it has been deemed working well
This attached one was for 1.4.9.4 before it was added to the core

Have you got any suggestions for me please. My weight based mod is now not working and I need to do something ?

I installed the original files and used Q's guide on geozones - sorted.

Has this been implemented for the newest version 1.5.3? The code doesnt seem to work past version 1.4*... this is the last step I need to get my new site working correctly...
