Flat Rate Shipping

[hannesc]

So with the payment processor I was working on, finally completed, I
moved over to the shipping. I want to use flat rate shipping for now.
When I install it however, there is no way of setting the values for
it, and even when I purchase a shippable object, the shipping is still
0 on checkout.

I started looking around, and I found that the Flat Rate Shipping has
no config page.

My question is this: Has anyone successfully used flat rate shipping
on GetPaid, and if so, how?

Thanks guys

[Juan Carlos Coruña]

I had the same problem and didn't found the solution. some people already reported this.

I tried to add a plugin to getpaid.flatrateshipping in order to get the config panel, without success.

Finally, I decided to go with IShippingRateService (look at getpaid.ups for an example) instead of IShippingMethod.

Do you make a difference between shipment and shipping ?
shipping being related to a cart (as a collection of items to be
shipped to anybody, anywhere), shipment to an order (labelled goods to
be received somewhere by somebody that would be charged for); indeed
how can you price a shipment if you don't know the destination of the
goods (if the client did not give the necessary informations in
"completing a bit" an order?)
Why in cart.py shipping and shipment are mixed ?
def getShippingCost( self ):
if not interfaces.IShipment.providedBy( self ):
return 0
return decimal.Decimal( str( self.shipping_cost ) )
I'm really confused...

What I require is some way of just charging a flat fee for any order to be shipped to anyone. As the client will only be shipping locally, he decided to just charge a single amount for every order.

Flat Rate shipping seemed like the solution, but alas, it doesn't work. :(

For me, today and as far as I "know" :
FlatRateShippping doesn't work out of the box fault of the missing
admin plugin, but if one follows the example of getpaid.ups as
Hannesc (or I did ) to make it, it is functional :
a selection of the shipping methods is proposed to the client via a form,
the shipping_cost of the order is computed (once a order is created =
self.createTransientOrder())
the problem is that getpaid.core.cart.CartItemTotals object has not
the right interface IShippableOrder when
the Shipping Price is wanted in the form cart-listing.....

[danielle davout]

as Juan Carlos did :)

[hannesc]

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anyway that either of you might post
your working copy somewhere for me to have a look at? I am struggling
to get it working, and my client is in a bit of a rush. O.o

Thanks :)

+1
Also, can anyone explain the syntax of context.context, in vocabularies.py ?:
def ShippingMethods( context ):
    adapters = component.getAdapters( (context.context,), interfaces.IShippingMethod )
Thanks!

[hannesc]

OK, so I got the admin part working. Now just to get the actual
shipping calculated.

When checking out, I get the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):
Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 119, in publish
Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply

Module getpaid.flatrateshipping2.rates, line 33, in getRates
AttributeError: 'InterfaceClass' object has no attribute
'flatrate_option'

I had a look at the files, and I can't quite figure out what is wrong:

getpaid.flatrateshipping2.rates looks as follows: http://paste.plone.org/28429

The highlighted line is where the problem occurs. I went and had a
look, but *sigh* I don't know what the heck is wrong.

getpaid.flatrateshipping2.interfaces looks as follows: http://paste.plone.org/28430

There is probably a simple solution to my problem, but I don't know
what it is. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Hannes

well, does the interface IFlatRateSettings have an attribute called
flatrate_option ?

sorry, I was out of reach of a connexion for several days and now I've
only one minute ..
here what I've got

[Matt Barkau]

Hannes, as a test, what happens if you change rates.py line 33 from IFlatRateSettings to IFlatRateShippingSettings ?

[Matt Barkau]

Also, can you paste the relevant portion of your configure.zcml?  Thanks.

[Hannes Calitz]

Hey there Matt

See comments in Red below.

Also, if you would like to have a look at the Flate Rate Shipping I am working on in it's entirety, you can download it at http://www.opennetworks.co.za/getpaid.flatrateshipping2.tar.gz

Cheers

I 've managed at last to have it working with in the cart.py of my product :

from Products.PloneGetPaid.browser.checkout import getShippingMethod

class CartItemTotals( OriginalCartItemTotals ):

def getShippingCost( self ):
# no choice of service_code by client
service_code = 'mine.01' #self.request.get('shipping_method_code')
method = getShippingMethod( self, service_code )
if method is None:
return 0
return method.cost

and the same rates.py that I've sent previously as a attached file

in my overrides.zcml I've put accordingly
<adapter
for="getpaid.core.interfaces.IShoppingCart"
provides="getpaid.core.interfaces.ILineContainerTotals"
factory=".browser.cart.CartItemTotals"
/>

[Hannes Calitz]

Hey there guys.

I am still having trouble with this one. I had a look at Danielle's rates.py and changed mine accordingly. However I am getting the following error: http://paste.plone.org/28723

From the error, I got that the error is in my rates.py file. The file looks as follows (error line highlighted): http://paste.plone.org/28725

I don't think the error is there however. I think the error lies in my iterfaces.py file (http://paste.plone.org/28726).

If anyone could have look, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Hannes

2009/6/19 danielle davout <daniell...@gmail.com>

[danielle davout]

indeed my interfaces.py looks very different , I"e got

class IMyRatesServiceSettings(interface.Interface):
"""
My Rates Service Options
"""

services = schema.List(title = _(u"My Services"),
required = True,
default = [],
description = _(u"The services to offer in
your store."),
value_type =
schema.Choice(title=u"my_services_choice",

vocabulary=MY_SHIPPING_SERVICES))

where
MY_SHIPPING_SERVICES = SimpleVocabulary([
SimpleTerm('01', 'next-day-air', _(u' Next Day Air')),
SimpleTerm('02', '2nd-day-air', _(u' 2nd Day Air')),
SimpleTerm('03', 'ground', _(u' Ground')),])

[Hannes Calitz]

What I don't understand though, is that in the end, my settings class is implemented correctly (seeing as yours works). I simply do not get why I am getting a 'Could not adapt' error.

2009/6/30 danielle davout <daniell...@gmail.com>

[danielle davout]

in my rates.py I use
from getpaid.flatrateshipping.flatrate import FlatRateShippingAdapter
FRSRA = FlatRateShippingAdapter(context)
FRSRA.settings.flatrate_option = FLATRATE_OPTION

your rates.py has
flatrate_settings = IFlatRateSettings(context)
if(flatrate_settings.settings.flatrate_option == "Percentage"):

[Hannes Calitz]

Ah, thanks. I changed it. However, I am getting the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):

AttributeError: getRates

Any ideas?

2009/7/1 danielle davout <daniell...@gmail.com>

[danielle davout]

in my checkout.py I've got now

class CheckoutController(OriginalCheckoutController):

conditions = {'checkout-select-shipping': 'checkShippableCart'}
steps = ['checkout-address-info', 'checkout-review-pay']
# no more 'checkout-select-shipping' was
# steps = ['checkout-address-info', 'checkout-select-shipping',
'checkout-review-pay']

as I have not to select the shipping, my customers have no choice
although I had before the form presented without error

[Hannes Calitz]

I finally got Flat Rate shipping working. Thank you to everyone for the help and support.

[Hannes Calitz]

So perhaps I spoke to soon.

Everything works perfect except for one thing. When checking out, flaterate.getCost (http://pastie.org/535446) grabs the default values from interfaces.py (http://pastie.org/535447) instead of the values saved in the admin section.

Why could this be happening?

Danielle, I think you'll be able to help, as I have been using a lot of the code you sent through to me.

Thanks
Hannes

I would be happy to ...
In my case I don't let choose the client a service and consequently I
don't use the step "checkout-select-shipping"
so I have just put MY choice in cart

[Hannes Calitz]

Right, so I think I figured out why the shipping is only picking up the defaults in the interfaces.py file, and not reading the values I save in the shipping backend. I think there's a problem in my browser/admin.py file (I could be completely off the mark though). Unfortunately I have no idea what it is.

Now, this would not be a problem if I only ran one shop from the server, but the truth is that there will be about 6 running on the same machine, so the default values will not work as every client will have to set there own shipping costs.

I have uploaded the entire product to http://www.opennetworks.co.za/getpaid.flatrateshipping2.tar.gz

If anyone could have a look at it, I would be much obliged.

Thanks
Hannes

2009/7/6 danielle davout <daniell...@gmail.com>

[danielle davout]

can't you have several shipping methods with a default service of
the same code ?

[Hannes Calitz]

As a temporary fix, yes that would work. I have actually not thought of that. Thanks.

I would still like to sort this problem out though. It would be nice not having to load multiple shipping methods, but only have one where the clients can simply enter the required rate in the backend.

On this note, I finally got my hands on a decent IDE (WingIDE) which means I can now actually debug. w00t!!1 xD

I had a closer look at what is happening behind the seens, and the line

temp_settings = IFlatRateSettings(context)

in my rates.py (http://pastie.org/538153) file is throwing an attribute exception. Now this could be because of a faulty interfaces.py (http://pastie.org/538158), but to be honest, I have absolutely no idea why it is doing it.
