I have tried to setup shipping - VM Shipment on my install but when i fill in all the details I save the page and it returns blank again with all the settings lost. If I choose the VM Shipper instead I can fill out the details but going through the checkout none of the values for the shipping costs are applied. No error messages are thrown up during the process on the backend but frontend during checkout I get:

Notice: Undefined property: TablePaymentmethods::$cost in /var/www/vhosts/coralsaquaticsmailorder.com/httpdocs/plugins/vmpayment/standard/standard.php on line 111

Just had something even more odd happen during the same process. after trying to imput different weight and shipping costs I switched it all back to VM shipper, added new details and now it looks as though the price has set - but at a combined value of all the ones I set previously: ie I wanted 25 to 650 kilograms @ 11.99 and it shows on the frontend as 299.75. I cannot see where this would be occuring though

I am also having the same issue that the shippimg method is saving, but the configuration is emptying on save so there are no details.

same for payment method (paypal)!

Just updated to release J and the same thing is happening. now if I go into the orders I am seeing an error message relating to shipping (if it is any help)

SELECT * FROM `#__virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries` WHERE `virtuemart_order_id` = 10

Hi,

VMshipper is the old plugin. You should remove it from your database.

I don't know exactly why. But i have change the tables between releases, so it is probably better to delete the tables in the database:
- #__virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries
- #__virtuemart_payment_plg_paypal
- #__virtuemart_payment_plg_standard

They will be recreated automatically when creating a shipment method, or a payment method.

VMshipper should be removed.

Alatak, I have tried removing the tables as well as some others that appeared to contain the data from one of the earlier releases, I deleted a load of shipping tables then because the tables did not exist got error messages in the backend. I reinstalled release J again to add them back and my shipping costs are back to showing zero values again in shipment when I fill it all out and hit save. Looking further into it it appears the shipment plugin did not install the files correctly for some reason so I am manually uploading them now to see if it changes.

** Adding findings.

Shipment values are now sticking in the database but the actual amount of the shipping is still way out. Just looking quickly at the amounts given it would seem that the amount set in lowest weight is being multiplied by the amount set in shipment cost - ie : 11.99 shipping rate with a minimum of 25 kilograms shows up as 299.75 in the frontend

Code: [Select]

SELECT * FROM `#__virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries` WHERE `virtuemart_order_id` = 10
I found that problem. I was looking in the back office, but is in the FE that it appears.
Fixed.

checking that.

Yes J1.7 - I manually added the files and language and the shipping now works so it looks as though the files did not get to the server correctly.

I found a workaround for the shipping cost and that is just to fill in the total value of the shipping in the package fee area which sets the value I set and does not multiply by the lowest weight however:

I placed an order and went into the backend to find the orders had not gone into the database correctly:

QuoteSELECT * FROM `#__virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries` WHERE `virtuemart_order_id` = 16 Table 'altrinchamcoralandaq_dbquick.cora_virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM `cora_virtuemart_shipment_plg_weight_countries` WHERE `virtuemart_order_id` = 16

One more thing, since I removed those tables I can no longer choose a currency in the paypal payment configuration despite only british pound being active, when payments go over to PayPal they default through to USD which is obviously no good.

I cannot reproduce this problem.

Alatak, any idea when the K release will be uploaded? Or if the code changes were minimal for the fixes any chance of posting it up so I can test please?

alatak, I have the same problem with my vmshipment plugin ( I mean that when I create a shipment option the values written are automatically deleted just after save changes). I have jommla 1.5 and virtuemart 2.0.0.(and this is my only version of virtuemart I did't update it cause I download the lates version) I dont know to much about programming, but I have a component called "extplorer" which I know how to use and I was wondering if it's possible to change a line or some lines in one of those php or html files to solve this problem. In positive case could you write the name of that or those files and the lines to change and the code or codes, if it's possible, please.  :'(

I will really appreciate it.
