Hallo,

erst ein Mal einen recht herzlichen Dank an Dr Kainhofer für die kostenlose Bereitstellung dieses Plugins.

And here is my problem:
Somehow, I am not able to get this solved. I get always the note "Please select a shipment method" in checkout. According to the documentation I did everything right, I hope. :-)
Would someone please help me to get it running?

Thank you

The "problem" in your case is that the user has not yet entered any address information (i.e. VM does not haven any country information yet), but in the shipping method you explicitly select countries to which the rules are restricted to. So of course none of the rules matches the (not yet entered) country and thus no shipping can be offered yet. As soon as the shopper selects a country / shipping address, the rules will properly apply.

Best regards,
Reinhold

The whole texts has to be re-written then into "Please login or register to see the shipping cost" or similar.
Does not make any sense, sorry, with the current note on the shipping.
Or is there another way to solve this?

Vielen Dank und Grüsse and Wien von den USA.

This message is handled by the VirtueMart core code and would need to be changed in the core VM code tree. A shipping plugin can either return a shipping cost or not.

In my plugin there is a potential workaround if you want to display a message in all cases where no shipping rate can be offered:
After all your rules, add the following rule to the next "country zone" (do not select any country, so there is no country condition):
Whenever this rule is considered at all, none of your rules above that match. However, if you have other conditions where no shipping is possible (e.g. you don't want to ship to some countries/states) then this will not work, because that will always be shown if no shipping cost can be offered.

Apart from this workaround, a plugin cannot do anything, as this is handled by VirtueMart itself.

Best regards,
Reinhold
