Need help setting up shipping quotes per region and weight desperately!

Hi all,

I've been trying to fix this by myself but am losing it Sad

- The shop I'm working will be shipping to countries worldwide devided into 5 zones.
- Shipping price is based on weight
- Shipping prices devided into ranges: 1-8Kg, 9-15Kg, 16-24Kg, 25-30Kg with >30Kg extra per Kg.

Now I've been reading up on this and doing research and uc_worldquote in combination with uc_regions looks like my only option.
Yet this module hardly works. I've managed to get CpILL's version to work: http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/851#comment-6344
But this will only cover the 4 ranges <30Kg and does not have an option per extra Kg.

Nicky's edit (http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/851#comment-17930) looks more promissing when installed. But doesn't return
any quotes whatsoever, just the error that a quote can not be calculated.

Does anyone have this latest module working? Maybe it's my whole setup causing this? Or Ubercart version (5.x-1.3)?
Or maybe someone can explain to me how to set this up with different modules?

Thank you very much for any help Smiling

I was able to get the module to work for my limited case. See here for versions I used:

Also read this link for advice on a potential alternative using ubercarst shipping flatrate and worlflow-ng:

Hi Zeezhao,

Thanx a million for your reply!
But I don't think this version of the module will cover the problem with charging extra per KG after a certain weight.
Nicky's version should do just that but doesn't work. I will look into it again now that I've read your comment about a query calling a wrong collumn, hopefully that's it!

Keep ya posted! Oh and all other tips are very welcome!

Ps. where did you change the code?

I changed it locally. I have attached both my versions of uc_worldquote & uc_regions, so you have all I've got...

As discussed, I did not try it for any other case than mine since not a requirement for me...

Thank you very much!!!!!!
Will def look into that...

What I've done for now is written a php script that ouputs mysql arrays and creates conditions per kilo up to a couple of thousand kilograms. I'm inserting that into the drupal db now... lot's of work but better than configuring per kilo by hand up to a couple thou Eye-wink

Cheers
