With great sadness we have to announce that we are ceasing development of all our VirtueMart, WooCommerce and Joomla plugins. Effective immediately, all our plugins -- even those that were paid downloads -- are made available for free from our homepage (GPL license still applies), but we cannot and will not provide any support anymore.
It has been a great pleasure to be part of the thriving development communities of VirtueMart as well as WooCommerce. However, during the last year it became painstakingly clear that in addition to a full-time job, a young family and several other time-consuming hobbies at professional level (like being a professional singer) the plugin development and the support that it requires is not sustainable and is taking its toll. It has been an honor, but it is now time to say good bye!

Hi folks,
I've searched but can't find a rule for this: I need the shipping rate to be calculated on the total weight of an order, the order may consist of different items, would appreciate someone's advise please. Cheers VirtueMart 3.2.12 Joomla! 3.8.6 |

Sorry, I just realized you replied to this: open-tools.net/forum/shipping-by-rules-p...pping-by-weight.html
But I still can't get it to work. Cheers |

Just to add to the above, when I select "shipping by rules for Virtuemart" make sure it's published, this is what I get on the front end: "We are sorry, no shipment method matches the characteristics of your order."
Cheers |

Dear gofer123,
Sorry for the very late reply. We have been very busy with several concurrent projects and were unable to provide any support in the last few months. That error message typically means that you have either not published the method, selected some unmatching restrictions (e.g. apply shipping method only to some selected shopper groups or some countries) or that you mistyped some of the conditions in your rules so that they wrongly do not apply. Typical candidates for the latter are wrong directions of the inequality sign: <code> Name=Light orders; 1>Weight; Shipping=3 Name=Wrong inequality; Weight<=1; Shipping=3 </code> In this case, the second rule applies to orders of 1kg or less (not more). Correct would be "Weight>=1" or "1<=Weight". Another typical mistake is to use strict inequalities instead of inequalities and equal signs. E.g. <code> Name=light orders; Weight<1; Shipping=1 Name=heavy orders; 1<Weight; Shipping=2 </code> If weight is exactly 1kg, then neither of the two rules will match... Instead, you'll need to use "Weight<=1" or "1<=Weight", depending on whether 1kg orders should be treated as light or heavy. Those are the really simple mistakes. If your problem is none of these, then I'd ask you to show me your rules. It's usually easy to quickly spot the problem with the exact rules. Best regards, Reinhold |
