Loaded Commerce Community

Hi

I am new to this but am having a problem with shipping.

I am using the CRE admin.

Web address is artificialflowersdirect.com

For some reason shipping is not being added to the final total. It does appear on the site ie it states shipping is 1.90 but then when total is collated, shipping comes up as 0.

I have tried everything, and compared all the settings to those of a mates who also uses CRE and has no problems.

Should you want to, you can go onto my site as a customer and will see what happens with the shipping.

Any help would be reallyappreciated.

cheers

zac

LOL another one with no response! come on people this may be old but I am sure it still needs an answer to possibly help someone else with the same issue

Yup, from over 2 years ago! (Originally posted by zac_199 Fri Feb 10, 2006)

Ever hear about letting dead dogs lie? This dog has pretty much been reduced to dust by now.

Are you so bored you're digging up single post questions and adding your .02 to them?

well lets see maybe there are possibly others that have this same issue that this could help?

and looks like I am not the one just looking to add my $.02 I am attempting to at least possibly assist someone else not just adding useless info to a post

Maybe this one is better August 9th of this year with 3 post and no answer!

SHIPPING ERROR PLEASE HELP


SO ya still think this is a DEAD DAWG?

Come on Dewey, his site doesn't even exist any more. How can anyone possibly help this guy?

I'd think most of the people checking this post out are probably looking to see if they can help, not because they are having the same issue.

Perhaps I didn't realize there is a prize for having 100 posts?

I did not say HELP this guy I said help some one else who could possibly have the same issue!

Thats what forums like this are mainly for! you help someone then if someone else enters the correct info into search they find possibly the same issue and then they could possibly fine the answer they are searching for! am I wrong about this?

and I care less about how many posts I have

If I knew the correct answer I would post it here !

I think if it's un-answered after almost 2 years, it's either a non-issue or at the very least it was answered somewhere else.



But chiming in with "Come on guys, someone help him!" makes it seem at the least like you maybe have the same issue but for some reason don't want to say it, or are trying to increase your post count... but then you say



And while I'll take you at your word on that, it begs the question "Why post at all if you don't know the answer?" (I'll even use your own words)...



May as well just put a TTT or BUMP on the post, but again, I think these are non-issue posts because the original posted didn't ask for more help so the result is you're just raising the dead here.

Again, I'll wager that this question was either a simple set up issue this guy had (like no weight for the product), and not something that took a lot to figure out. Perhaps by the time he got it resolved, he was trying to get something else figured out (like how to stay in business) rather than come back and admit he screwed something simple up.

I can appreciate you wanting to help people, I do whenever I can. I have some nice code I'd love to share for your Year/Make/Model post, but can't give it since it's IP that belongs to my company. I have given some hints though and it seems no one asking can code, so you'll have to hire someone to make it for you. Having built auto parts sites for over 10 years, I intimately understand why no one has made a module with this info in it, much less a free one. You sell auto parts, so you know the deal - "Cheap, Fast, Reliable" <- pick two...

Hm I do not remember asking for help with another issue in this thread?

I usually try to stay with what is posted instead of HI-Jacking it.


I care less about increasing post count but I only try to help or ask for help and if I see someone wanting help or maybe a post that I can't answer I at least ask someone else to help instead of attempting to give excuses as to why it was never answered or act like I know but can not help because of some other issue.

If you will go back and look all I asked is for someone to help if they could but it seems like you never fully read a post before you HAVE to post in the thread.

What I do is at least attempt to help not give reasons why I CAN NOT help.

LOL
Go figure

Using your logic pointing at a drowning man and asking why no one has asked why he's drowning is helping? In this case, the guy already drowned or swam away back in February of 2006.

And I do help where I can, but in this case there's no info with which to help, nor even a live site to go and see. Additionally, the user has this one and only post. I'm more than willing to bet he didn't use weights in his database, and anyone that came along and looked at this post over the last 32 months realized he probably solved it himself since he didn't re-ask, or they went to look at his site and saw it was down and figured "why bother".

You have a store, you couldn't figure his issue out? You couldn't help? Is getting on the collective nuts of forum members to help this guy some form of helping?

Adding something to the forums is one thing, asking others to help and thinking you are contributing is another. Don't act like it's anyone's responsibility to answer questions on the forums, I am sure the more useful members have plenty of things to do rather than answer nearly 3 year old questions for sites that don't exist.

And I think wanting to keep a full time job is a pretty good "excuse" for not sharing code. I think I gave a decent answer as to why there's no Year/Make/Model Module in that other post before, but you seem to want someone to have all the solutions in a box for you - for free. Seeing how people get upset over the cost of a $50 add on, I doubt the several hundred to couple thousand one would need to pay for a proper Year/Make/Model Module would be covered by the 3 that are "interested". Try finding up to date vehicle data alone for less than $500.

"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and _______."
Why don't you learn a little PHP and try it to build the module yourself? Seriously, I did it, and so can you.

I'm not trying to rag on you, and I can appreciate you wanting the forums to be a more helpful place. But it's sorta silly to be asking to help this guy with one post from 32 months ago on a site that no longer exists, dontcha think?

Not really!
How many people do you think may come to the site and actually search for answers before they ask a question?

As far as learning PHP I know PHP, Html, Java, Python, Visual basic, C, C++, C# and when I have time I do most of my own programming and have since I was 16 now at 45 I barley have time to do any of my own work.

But I am never one to not help if I can and if I took the time to attempt to decode what is called CRE Loaded I and everyone else would find it is nothing more than GNU Oscommerce but I do not even have time for trying to look at the full code for it.
SO I as anyone else who might be interested will come and search for what I want since I am sure someone may have already done it though it may need to be improved on a little or even customized.

SO you think it is best for someone to come and post a question that has been answered 1000 times before instead of making it where all they would have to do is search and then if they might need custom work or custom help ask for this instead?

I agree with teaching anyone something they are interested in learning but it will take time from both the teacher and student life and then only if someone is really wanting to learn can you teach them anything.

Oh yeah 2 more posts to go them 100 maybe I will win something for that or get a badge or something.

So... is the pissing contest over with??

Frankly, I DID have this problem with my site..

However, in order to resolve it I simply removed Paypal as a payment option from my site. I would like to offer paypal, but not when I have to bill for shipping seperately.

Yes, my paypal was configured correctly and I checked the shipping setting inside paypal as well.. It simply wasn't carrying over to paypal the shipping charges for some reason. Thankfully I have a CRE merchant account so I can take all CC's, but if I could find a resolution to this problem I would put Paypal back up as a payment option.

No just had to take time to drink more DIet Dr. Pepper and a little Cervesa.

Well I have this same problem as well, and it is very annoying... I also have a merchant account, however there are a lot of customer's out there that like to pay with PayPal.

Anyone have an idea for this fix, please let me know as well...

Thanks
Adam
