Dear X-cart,

I would like to put forward the following suggestions for X-Cart PRO V4.1.x.

Install
Be able to choose whether to install Realtime Shipping modules at install time. Realtime shipping is not required in the UK, and IБ─≥m currently building an sql file to load UK Royal Mail shipping methods and shipping rates into the place occupied by the US Realtime Shipping. This would require changes to shipping weights detailed below.

UK Shipping Methods: -
Allow Shipping Weights to be entered and stored to 3 decimal places for Kg shipping weights, as in the following examples.
Б─≤admin/main/shipping.tplБ─≥
From {$s.weight_min|default:0| formatprice}
To {$s.weight_min|default:0| formatnumeric}

From {$s.weight_limit|formatprice}
To {$s.weight_limit|formatnumeric}

Also changing the database fields for weight min/limit
From 12,2 to 12,3 to allow for 3 decimal places.
Currently you can only enter grams in steps of 10grams (2 decimal places) so
Kg 0.35 == 350g. This means you cannot enter 0.351g because the Б─°formatpriceБ─² modifier converts the weight back to Kg 0.35 equal to 350g, however the Б─°formatnumericБ─² modifer will allow 0.351g to be entered.


The Kg weight changes could be a checkbox at install time, this would set the database weight fields to 12,3 for Kg weights, and perhaps an
{if config.weight.kg =Б─≥YБ─≥}{formatnumeric}{else}{formatpri ce}{/if}
around all the files with reference to weight.


Admin Configuration -
Allow independent Shipping Methods and Shipping Rates for EACH Provider account.

Create Providers Profile Б─⌠ additional fields.
Contact No 1
Name_1, Phone_1A, Phone_1B, Email_1
Name_2, Phone_2A, Phone_2B, Email_2

Contact No 2
Name_1, Phone_1A, Phone_1B, Email_1
Name_2, Phone_2A, Phone_2B, Email_2

Notes: -Provider Profile.
For day-to-day enquires the Providers business contact details are more important than their home contact details. Two or more Contact/Name/Phone/Email are required because the admin may need to communicate with several managers and or departments in the Providers Company. The second contact phone (Б─≤xBБ─≥ can be used for cell phone contact numbers.

Address Fields: -
Additional Б─°Address (line 3)Б─² for all User Profiles.

Notes: - Address Fields
Many businesses operate from industrial parks/units. The extra address field allows for a longer address.
