Still working on figuring out shipping. How do I set more shipping types than just small package, so I can use shipping types to configure in workflow-ng
Thanks in advance

Tried to Add shipping type to database
I can't find anywhere to add a shipping type, so I tried to add it straight into the database to the table uc_quote_shipping_types, cause that just makes sense that it would be the shipping types.
But didn't work. I probably don't know the correct variables, cause I can't guess what the id_type might mean.
Tried:
small_envelope
1
small_envelope.
Re: Tried to Add shipping type to database
uc_quote_shipping_types is used to hold the default shipping types of manufacturers and products. The id_type column should only be 'manufacturer' or 'product'.
The actual shipping types are defined by the different quote modules in hook_shipping_type() and used in hook_shipping_method(). They're used to keep certain products from being offered through shipping methods they won't fit on. That's just not very clear when every shipping method so far uses "small package".
I think you'd be better off trying to find some other condition to use in your workflow configurations.
Use Classes instead
I put a solution with using classes instead of shipping type here:
