Virtuemart 3.0.9
shipment rules v5.6

shipment rule parameters:
Weight unit Kg
Lenght unit cm

country norway

name="test {Weight}; Shipping=6.95+0.19*ceil(Weight)

this results in 0.0 shipping costs.


bassicly what i need is for several country's.
every country a base shipping costs and cost per kg..

for now i have a work arround..

name=Total {weight} kg; Weight<1; Shipping=10
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>14; Shipping=41.66
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>13; Shipping=40.03
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>12; Shipping=38.40
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>11; Shipping=36.77
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>10; Shipping=35.14
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>9; Shipping=33.51
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>8; Shipping=31.88
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>7; Shipping=30.25
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>6; Shipping=28.62
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>5; Shipping=26.99
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>4; Shipping=25.36
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>3; Shipping=23.73
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>2; Shipping=22.10
name=Total {weight} kg; Weight>1; Shipping=20.47

the costs are 18.84 + 1.63 for every 1 kg.

Dear JPeters,
Is this the exact rule copied from the settings?
You might notice that the name starts with a quote, but never closes it. To the plugin, this means that the name lasts until the end of the line, and an implicit Shipping=0 is used...

I suppose things should work as expected when you either close the quote properly or leave it out altogether...

Best regrads,

Hello,

i did a copy/past of the rule you delivered..

it's not working..
name="test {Weight}"; Shipping=6.95+0.19*ceil(Weight)
its not working: no shipping fee is calculated

when i change the rule to this:
name="test {Weight}"; Shipping=6.95
its working. shipping fee

when i change the rule to this:
name="test {Weight}"; Shipping=0.19*ceil(Weight)
its not working: no shipping fee is calculated

the rule is calcultating the Weight correctly (shown in the description of the shipping ..)

Dear JPeters,
This sounds as if you are using the free plugin for that shipping method. Can you please make sure that you have really selected the advanced version of the plugin for the shipping method. See the attached screenshot:

The "Shipment Method Information" Tab has the "Shipment Method" setting, which needs to be set to the advanced version of the plugin rather than to the free version.

Best regards,
Reinhold

i am using your free version of shipping rules..

Dear JPeters,
Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, mathematical expressions and functions are only available in the advanced version of the plugin. That explains your problems.

There should actually be an error message about some failed evaluation of the shipping cost term, but apparently you use one of those Joomla templates that has for some strange reason removed the message notifications...

Best regards,
Reinhold
