How do we get this mod to work with fedex? I followed the instructions in the "Step by Step setup of FedEx" thread ( http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=21128&highlight= ) and now we get this error:

UPS Realtime shipping rate calculation service returned the following error:
The requested service is unavailable between the selected locations. (errorcode: 111210)
Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.:

before a zipcode is inserted.

Any ideas?

Newbie here!

I used the MOD on page 5. Every thing works perfectly. However, when one types in their shipping zip code, it gives you the actual cost of shipping not the shipping with markup.

For example: USPS Priority for a 1lb item cost $3.85. The customer sees on the pre-login shipping calculator $3.85 instead of the $4.85 which includes markup.

Anyone have a solution or knows what files to manipulate so that it will show shipping with markup?

Help appreciated. Thanks!

By any chance are you using Intershipper? If so, they have a markup section where you can do this. If not, I too would be interested in seeing this...

Hi Rackit --

I tried your code on my version (4.0.5) but I got an error ("missing T-STRING on line 57")

That line is: $zipcode_estimate = "";

I also noticed that the block of code you replace doesn't match mine exactly. I have this for the block:


x_session_register("cart");
x_session_register("intershipper_rates");
x_session_register("intershipper_recalc");
x_session_unregister("secure_oid");
x_session_register("extended_userinfo");
x_session_register("anonymous_checkout");
x_session_register("payment_cc_fields");
x_session_register("current_carrier","UPS");

Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for?

Thanks,

John

Dear RackIt,
I really liked your change so I tried to implement it. But when I press the calculate button nothing happens. It looks like there is a link missing. Can you tell me what it should be?

Many Thanks in advance.

NOTE: Never mind. I asked the question before I realized there were 10 pages of posts. The post by Carrie works great! Thanks anyway.

Has anyone modified this mod to include tax calculation? Either based on states or zipcode?

Whle the latter would be more work, it would keep the interface for this mod nice and clean (instead of requiring a states drop down plus the zip input field). Also, I was wondering if we'll encounted problems with zip+4, or does X-Cart already handle the +4 part?

I'd like to thank the OP and contributors in this thread for their hard work in producing a nice little S&H calculator. Kudos.

Thanks,

Brian

Pomfret, you can find instructions on how to calculate tax based on zipcode on page 6 of this thread. I'm not sure about the zip+4 issue but I don't think the +4 will make a difference when it comes to shipping or tax calculations.

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for the note!

Has anyone been able to add this to the right side box that displays the # of items in your cart? I would like something that has an input box that lets you enter your zip code, and display the shipping rates. It seems like this mod only works while you are actually on the shopping cart page, correct?

I pasted in this mod, but couldn't get it to work right away. BCS Engineering came to my rescue and got it working. The box on the right that you are referring to, I believe is known as the "mini-cart." On mine, with the mod working now, the mini-cart does show the total including shipping, but only if you have already gone to the shopping cart and entered your ZIP code. My mini-cart does not show the breakdown of product vs shipping, just a grand total. And you do have to go to the actual cart page to enter the ZIP code.
