Shipping by UK postcode was created by ncoates

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6

I wonder if it's possible for you to help me set up my shipping options, the shipping will be based on postcodes, is it possible that when the client enters their address that the shipping will calculate automatically from the postcode?

Or would they have to manually select their postcode from a list?, this option is fine but how would I set it up? could you provide a short tutorial please?

Hello,
Yes, you'll just have to use the "Minimum/Maximum post code" and "Zones" options through your shipping method configuration page.

You'll have to create different shipping method and use :
- the "Zones" to restrict the use of that shipping method to UK
- the "Minimum/Maximum post code" and "prefix/suffix" options to restrict your shipping method to a group of post code
- the "Price" option to set the price regarding your customer post code / zone
Also, reading that documentation will probably help you : www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...form.html#additional

For example if you want a shipping method to be used for post codes from "UK2000" to "UK3000" you'll have to create a shipping method with the "Prefix" option set to "UK", the "Minimum post code" option set to '2000' and the "Maximum post code" set to '3000'.

Ok, and will Hikashop select the shipping method that applies based on the post code entered by the customer?

I found out that it does.....

Only it has to be in capitals....unless I create the shipping method in capitals....does this mean I have to create 2 shipping methods for each post code area, one in lowercase and one in upper case?....or is there another way?

In that case the solution will be to create 2 manual shipping methods one for upper and one for lower case.

Is there a way to force capitalisation on the form where the customer enters their address and post code details please?

Maybe using text-transform: uppercase; ??

I need an answer to this pretty quickly please

Is there a way to force capitalisation on the form where the customer enters their address and post code details please?

Maybe using text-transform: uppercase; ?? I wouldn't know where to put this code, it will save entering hundreds of different shipping methods.

Sure but you'll have to add some code customization through Hikashop files, the solution will be to edit the "administrator\components\com_hikashop\classes\Shipping.php" file and add that code :

Code:

if(!empty($suffix))
	$suffix = strtoupper($suffix);
if(!empty($prefix))
	$prefix = strtoupper($prefix);

just after :

Code:

$checkDone = true;
$prefix = $match[1];
$main = $match[2];
$suffix = $match[3];

Also, note that if you update/re-install your Hikashop version you'll have to add that code customization again.

Thats perfect and it works, thank you very much, should this not be a permanent part of the code?

Actually the fact that people can filter if they want upper or lower case is probably better, but note that we can create an option to handle it.
I just added it on our TODO list.
