[ic] Shipping Question
Quoting John Mann (johnmann@lstek.net):
> I have a problem modifying the shipping charges on my Interchange inventory.
> What I want to be able to do is charge fixed shipping charges based on
> individual items. Item A has X shipping, Item B has Y shipping, and so
> forth. The problem is that very few items have the same shipping costs. I
> want to be able to alert the customer to the shipping charges on the item
> page (which I can do), and when the item enters the cart, it should tally
> the correct shipping. This shipping is not based on price, size, or weight -
> it is based on a combination of these.
>
> What I need is fixed shipping per item, but this shipping isn't universal.
> Is it possible to store the shipping price in the item/stock database along
> with the rest of the item's information? And how would I go about doing

It is simpler than simple. Add a field called shipping. Then add to shipping.asc:
STD Standard Shipping shipping 0 99999 f @@TOTAL@@
Do a query (either with mysql or in a page, shown below):
[flag type=write table=country]
[query sql="update shipping set shipmodes = 'STD'"][/query]
Change in catalog.cfg so shipping is correct from the start:
ValuesDefault mv_shipmode STD
That's it, at least for the standard demo.
