Hello,
Do you know how to set up an shipping estimation based on a country ?
This way people could just select a country and see how much are the fees without typing their whole address.
Regards
Which shipping plugin are you using and version ov VM
I'm using the latest vm version and the default shipping module.
My shipping costs are by country and weight.
Regards
Another question for you
Do you have a lot of countries
If not
Would showing ALL the possible rates (for the particular weight of the cart) in the checkout before an address is completed be of use to you??
So if you had 4 countries, and 1 shipping variant per weight country combo you would see 4 rates - one for each country
Yes it would be great
So you can use the existing plugin with a simple hack (this will be lost when you upgrade VM to another version, but should be easy to add)
These are the activities you will need to complete
1. Adjust the shipping plugin in order that it returns a country condition of true when there is no country_id and no address (at the moment it will return false
2. Create a new "view" for the cart in templates/html/com-virtuemart/cart/
3. Adjust the Cart view in order to show the possible rates with the new view
3. Add some CSS to stop the plugin/view showing a selection for the shipping options shown
I can tell you where, but you will need to do them yourself?
Thx a lot, i'll try and i'll come back if I need help (:
