    Posted: August/14/05 at 5:55pm
I've done as much as I can, and I simply give up. I cannot get shipping2.asp to provide instant UPS rates on the check out.

I downloaded the latest CSV and pushed it up to the server. I've read and re-read the instructions in the manual to no avail.

I've tried changing the "computmethod" variable to all of the available methods (0-5). I've tried tweaking the .ASA file. No matter what I do, I can NOT get it to provide UPS rates!

I may give up on UPS and give FedEx a try just to get it working, but if anyone can provide any input I would appreciate it.

This shipping plugin has just kicked my butt.

This problem needs more cowbell!

Which shipping plug-in are you using? Meaning, is it the latest version?

Here is my version info:

    Shipping Plugin Rev. 6
   Copyright C, 1995-2003
   ComCity(R) Corporation
        Rev 6, 9/18/03

It came with my purchase, but I haven't gotten it to work. I want it to ignore any values in the database and get its rates directly from UPS. I've deleted all of the info for shipping from the database, and now it's giving Free Shipping as an option.

Thanks for your help and for more cowbell! Man, I love that skit!

Did you make sure that you've setup the cart to calculate the shipping based on weight? Did you also go to your site's shipping administration page and configure the UPS, USPS, etc.?

I had already updated the shippinging configuration...the shippingini.xml file. It was quicker to edit the file directly rather than wait for my hosting support to do it for me.

How do I ensure I'm using weight-based shipping? I don't want to re-rerun the wizard in case it overwrites any of my customized code. Can't I tweak that in the .asa file?

In the global.asa or salescart.asa you should look for: 

Session ("OptComputeShip0") = True


If it set to False, then you're not doing weight based.

It's set to true: 

'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based on a weight range total of all products in comparison to a range of values specified in the order database. 

  Session ("OptComputeShip0") = True



'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based on a volume range total of all products in comparison to a range of values specified in the order database.

  Session ("OptComputeShip1") = False



'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based on a Value range total of all products in comparison to a range of values specified in the order database.

  Session ("OptComputeShip2") = False



'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based on a quantity range total of all products in comparison to a range of values specified in the order database.

  Session ("OptComputeShip3") = False



'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based only on adding up set values specified for each product.

  Session ("OptComputeShip4") = False



'        OptComputeShip: Calculate shipping based only the absolute combined values of all products purchased.

  Session ("OptComputeShip5") = False

  

'        OptShipFlat: Use percentages (%) if shipping is computed on the whole order.

  Session ("OptShipFlat0") = False

'        OptShipFlat: Use an absolute shipping cost if shipping is computed on the whole order.

  Session ("OptShipFlat1") = False

'        TxtShipFlatAmount: Enter the percentage or absolute cost of shipping if whole order shipping is used.

  Session ("TxtShipFlatAmount") = "0"

'        TxtProdName: Specify the description to be shown for Product-Based Shipping

  Session ("TxtProdName") = "Weight-Based Shipping"

'        TxtFlatName: Specify the description to be shown for Flat-Order Based Shipping

  Session ("TxtFlatName") = "Flat-Order Shipping sent by FedEx"
