Royal Mail Module


Recommended Posts

Having been working with prestashop 1.4.6.2 for a few days now, I find it does most of what I need it to do. Though I have found two sections sadly lacking:-

1) stock control of component parts of products, (though I may and probably have missed something)

2) Support for using the Royal Mail.

 

I see modules for other postal methods, yet we in the UK get shafted once again. (revenge for our colonial expansionist policies? ) It seems to be the same for all the ecommerce software I have tried. Either it is:-

1) Setup for the USA and is a p.i.t.a. to change to UK

2) It doesn't support Royal Mail

3) Both 1 & 2.

 

Now I realise the Royal Mail pricing stucture is a tad on the awkward side(understatement), being charged on both weight and size, but surely it cant be that hard to get a module/hack/whatever together? I am by no means familiar with php coding (as yet), but even I have managed to scrape together some pseudo-code as a start. (see attached txt file.) It's by no means pretty nor complete and quite possibly totally wrong, but I hope its a start/help to some of you more fluent php coders. Its a shame that such an obvious requirement is missing from what I find to be, in general, an excellent piece of software, more so as its open-source.

I find it incredable that Prestashop does not support the UK shop owner. How much are they missing out ?

 

But they could support worldwide postage if they simply included a table based module based on wieght or price.

 

Bloody annoying as hell.
