hi,

I need custom shipping method. It is quotes based on size of the products.It doe snot use external services. We have to calculate based on number of boxes and type of boxes to quoute. And also destination.

all boxes are small.

Who is expert here?. Just give some guidelines where i need to change in the code or do i have to write whole shipping module? or can i replace with external shipping module?

Thanks

You have no need to modify the shipping module, you will instead add a new shipping method. You can make this shipping method the only one active on the site so that all shipping charges are priced in that way.

As for an example, uc_flatrate.module works fairly close to how you'll want your module to work. It calculates shipping based on a per order shipping rate + per product shipping rate * quantity of product. You'll just need to add in a little logic to take into account the box type I suppose.

How do i find all the business data varaiable? How do i add text field entry in the UI?.

Also i need store wide inventory system for products. There are many store branches. All have different products and total stock based on summary of all products. It should show products only by the the user selection of store that they are going to visit if they logged in or choose manually. like sears store website or something. Is there any good stock inventory system for ubermart?.

Thanks in advance.
