Adding simple shipping functionality to my site

Thanks for the quick response. I'll be more patient and wait for the next release. Also, thank you for incorporating my views stuff for the ec_product module into your previous release, it meant I was able to stop maintaining my own version! Very handy.

Hi Gordon,

Did you get a chance to look at this?

Dave

Hrmm, the option to use some PHP code to set the shipping cost would be good. The shipping cost is dependent on the country in question. I can easily write some jQuery magic to make the external form look like it is updating itself, but it would be nice to then have the final shipping cost reflect the country in question.

This is great work, I think I can figure out how to get a flat shipping rate in pretty easily. It's just [Shippable] + 1.5 or whatever. I'll worry about the more complex shipping situation later.

So just to let you know, I've successfully added shipping to my site! Very nice, relatively straight forward, especially with the screen-shots. Realized I didn't really want my [Shippable] + 1.50, just 1.50 by itself was fine for the "calculation".

Now to figure out how to get this to change depending on which country is chosen. Updating via jQuery is easy as I said, I'll take a look at how you define your variables, and do the calculation type stuff, and see if I can figure out some magic (ie hacking!) in there.

Okay so I've got the filter to appear, now I am working on the logic for doing the actual filtering. The code below informs ec_charge that I am creating a new filter, and the second function defines the settings form for the filter. This works fine.

/**
 * Implementation of hook_ec_charge_filter_info().
 */
function ec_country_ec_charge_filter_info() {
  return array(
    'ec_country' => array(
      'name' => t('Country'),
      'description' => t('Filter transactions depending on country chosen during billing.'),
      'module' => 'ec_country',
      'file' => 'ec_country.charge.inc',
      'core' => FALSE,
    ),
  );
}

function ec_country_filter_form(&$form_state, $settings) {
  $form = array();
  
  // Get all countries
  module_load_include('inc', 'ec_store', 'ec_store.localization');
  $countries = _ec_store_location_countries();

  if (!is_array($settings['countries'])) {
    $settings['countries'] = array();
  }

  $form['countries'] = array(
    '#type' => 'checkboxes',
    '#title' => t('Choose countries'),
    '#default_value' => $settings['countries'],
    '#description' => t('Select as many countries as you wish by which to filter this charge.'),
    '#required' => TRUE,
    '#options' => $countries,
  );

  return $form;
}

The next step is to actually create a function to do the filtering, which is where I am stuck. I've tried defining the following function:

function ec_country_filter_process($settings, $txn) {
  $countries = explode(',', $settings['countries']);
  $choice = $txn->address['billing']['country'];

  return in_array($choice, $countries);
}

This is not being called when the checkout form is initially presented (should it be?). I do have another filter on the same charge which is being used no problem. Do filter's stack, or is it like a stack, and only the filter which applies get used?

Need to get the back-end working before I work on the jQuery magic.

Actually I had the hook you suggested, and my filter was being saved fine. I'm not going to be looking at this for at least a couple of weeks though, some personal stuff has come up that I have to deal with.
