I actually changed $vendors_id to $vendors_id = '1'. It seems to have fixed it unless setting that to 1 does something I don't understand. That is completely possible BTW, hehe. Sorry if I caught a bug. Thanks again for all your work on this. It saved my store.

Hello, I installed MVS and everything seems to work up to checkout. I have one vendor who uses Fedex. When I hit continue from the initial checkout The following error comes up The code from those lines are as follows, fedex1.php: 309 first: the function line is 309 The header line is line 32 Has anyone encountered this or know what's going on? I'm sooo close....hehe

Well, that shipping method is only used by one vendor and by setting the original shipping module dimensions, not the vendor_shipping module dimensions, and removing the $vendors_id from that function entirely it works like a champ. This whole process gave me a headache but I thank you all for this contribution. It was exactly what I needed.

I recently installed MVS 1.1 and added the DHL port listed on the contribution. The following shows up at the very top of the page during checkout_shipping/delivery confirmation, however, quotes did come up: I assume it has something to do with "vendors_ID" as that is the only change in those lines from the original DHL contribution. Has anyone had this problem? Here's the code it references"

I probably should have been more clear that I would have preferred pointers or a tutorial so I could deal with any future issues on my own and add contributions for others. And I just found that product extra fields contribution not 5 minutes ago...LOL. Of course my server is being moved so I have to wait a couple hours till I can install everything. I am not a programmer but I know enough to be dangerous and learn quickly. Everything you all have posted has taught me a lot believe it or not. Thanks. I truly appreciate it.

Just from your replies I think I know where to put what code, just not how to add fields to a page or define the variables. I'd be more than happy to write my own contribution. Guess I'll do a bit more research on that. Maybe rip apart a contribution that added a field to see how they did it. Thanks all. I really do appreciate it. Sorry if the request for info annoyed you Janz. Wasn't meant to.

Thanks for the replies. I use multiple shipping modules. DHL, UPS and USPS. Is there a way to add those fields to the actual product entry page, say below the item weight, that would add a quantity per bag and bag weight specific to that product? Something like this can be entered when adding a product: Weight: .10 lbs Bag Weight: .75lbs Qty/bag: 6 Have the code calc the number of bags required and add it to the product weight before it gets sent to UPS/USPS/DHL for a quote. Basically my issue is the 6 fish is an example since all fish aren't the same size. it could be 3 or 10 fish in the same size bag. And i have different size shipping bags with different weights. thanks again. I really need to learn how to do this myself...hehe.

Ok, I have a unique (i think) weight issue. Many of my products have a fixed weight (1x.25lbs=.25lbs and 2x.25=.5lbs) I also sell live fish. Depending on the fish, you can fit several in the same bag. Therein lies my problem. If I can fit 6 fish in a bag of water, the weight of the water is the same for 1 or 6 fish although the weight of the actual fish does increase per qty. The seventh fish means another bag of water and drastically changes the shipping from 6 to 7 fish. Is there a tare weight per quantity contribution? I've searched like mad to find an existing solution and unfortunately don't have the necessary skills to create a contribution on my own unless someone can point me to a good tutorial...hehe.
