Hi friends urgent help

<option selected="selected">Hawally</option>
<option value="Salmiya">Salmiya</option>
<option value="arthiya">arthiya</option>
</select>
it is not working when i select the city
Hi,
my need was to calculate shipment according tu buyer’s city of residence.
i made my own module to achieve this work.
cities and amounts are inserted in a specific table, from the backend.
city list is built within a block
amount is calculated when a city is selected.
i also modified the cart, user editing form, one page checkout, to integrate the changes
if you need something similar, i can post my mork…
let me know !
Can you please post it here?
May be we can make it into a community module later on ...
I am quite sure there are a bunch of people who need this kind of module.
Here it is,
i hope ihave packaged all needed files, but if not, just let me know and i’ll check.
if you have questions, feel free to contact me.
keep in mind that the module was developped for my own need, and perhaps is not perfect for everyone.
i omitted a small detail
- rates are not provided in the module (that was my first idea, but then i changed), but in the “Matrix rates” shipment module.
- you must insert in the matrix rates module the same cities you use in the “citylist” module. perhaps it could be interesting to modify the module so it uses the “matrix rates” city list and avoid double cities import
- user can not input his own city at registration, but must choose in the provided list.
- a “lightbox like” popup is displayed when a user can’t find his city in the list (my aim is now to add an email field that will be used to inform the user when his city is delivered)
I think it is missing two files:
- app/etc/modules/ATI_Citylist.xml
- app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout/ATI_Citylist.xml
I try to re-generate them with standard convention and seems to works fine
Thank you !
...
I think a more interesting idea is to take the shipping logic out of magento and create an internal mini xml-rpc server to emulate DHL/UPS. We can just carry the variables (including addresses) to that mini server and define the logic there without messing with other magento’s vars. I dont have problem creating the receiving end (xml-rpc using PHP) but I am still struggling to give commands to magento
Ah ... but you are right, we still need the city to be “mandatory” in the customer addresses (deliverable or not) ...
so for now the best way to go is to use the city in “MatrixRates” tables ...
I’ll see what I can do once I understand how your module works ...
