Dear Admin,

I just finished writing the rules for my virtuemart plugin. I haven't tried it since getting the plugin.

How many lines of rules can i write in virtuemart? I really need this to work. Here is the example of the rules i need to be written:

Besides that, i still have tons of lines (approximately 8000 lines in total) because in my country, there are thousands of places that we cover for shipment all over the country.

Please help me. How to write all the rules inside the virtuemart shipment. When i copy and paste it from my notepad, it vanished when i clicked apply.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Sony

I have the same question. I am currently using the free version on Joomla 2.5.22, VM 2.0.26

I need 2000 lines of rules.

I wrote and saved around 200 lines in the first box. However, if I try to put more, on save all the lines vanish.


UPDATE: I found this post about the VM limitations: open-tools.net/forum/shipping-by-rules-p...-are-not-saving.html

Problem solved with creating more shipping methods, each with about 200 lines.

Hi,

Can you please advice me what to do? I am still facing the problem..

Please help.

The problem is that in the databse, VirtueMart 2.x only reserves ~19.000 characters for the configuration of each shipping plugin. As a consequence, each shipping method can only use those 19.000 characters, which means that all rules of a method combined must not be longer than this limit.

For VM 2.x there is a workaround to simply create multiple shipping methods from the shipping by rules plugin, where each of these methods can use up to 19.000 characters for the rules.

Milbo (the main VM developer) promised to remove that database limit in the upcoming VirtueMart 3.x release, but for now you have to create multiple methods to get around that problem.

Best regards,
Reinhold
