Is there any possibility that we will see this updated for the new Royal Mail 2011 prices? Thanks!!

[Simon@SmallWars]

Hi All, I`ve got a couple of issues with this mod that I cannot fathom.

When I installed the mod my prices as displayed at checkout started to look like this £1.34. I`m not sure what the A with the squiggle on top is called, but I`m sure its not supposed to be there.

For Special Delivery Next Day for a parcel weighing 30grams my price is £5.05 but on Royal Mail website its £5.45 how do I adjust it to show the correct price?

Same problem for ParcelForce 48 except other way round, my price £16.79, ParcelForce £10.79

Many Thanks for your help folks.

The weird squiggly A is something I normally associate with UTF-8 settings.

Once you have installed the latest version (e.g. v2.2.2), you will then need to update the prices.  You should find a recent Excel spreadsheet on the contributions download page at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4473, which you can then use to cut & paste new prices into the configuration.

OK, the prices I can sort, but any ideas on the UTF-8 settings? When I get to Checkout all my prices show that squiggly A. Going to View/ Character Encoding says the page is being viewed in ISO-8859-15. This module wouldn`t have changed any of those settings along the way would it?

Many Thanks

No the module would not have changed any of the character settings.

The shipment modules return the shipping cost as a number, and because they are designed for UK use the number is in pounds.  Also none of the shipping modules actually have the currency symbol hard coded, or in their language files.

For a UK store you should have the default currency as GBP, and you'll notice in Admin->Localization->Currencies that you can edit the details for a currency including the symbol displayed for it.

The problem could be that your MySQL database has the characterset as UTF-8, and as a result some munging occurs and you get weird output, such as the Squiggly-A £.  You could try resolving this by editing the settings for GBP, and as the currency symbol enter the HTML entity £.

Hope that helps...

The shipping modules were created for UK based stores.

Have you turned the modules on.  There is an option in every module to turn them on or off.  Just click the module, click edit and make sure that true is enabled.

[The Smoothy]

Steve,
All modules applicable were turned on but still options never came up.
So I ended up making my own shipping module. Shame really as It wouldve been nice to have RM options but, hey ho so be it!!

[14steve14]

I have this running on 2.3.1 with no mods made, and no problems encountered straight out of the box.  All i had to do was to update all the prices.

Cris
In Admin/configuration under shipping/packaging, make sure you dont have a tare weight to add onto shipping weight.
