[ic] Thanks from New person - with shipping question...shipping by price - how to config?

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (S. Wong)]

Hello,

I'm trying to do a similar thing and found this very useful.  However,
I've noticed that though I've set mv_shipmode with default value of
FLATD in catalog.cfg (and DefaultShipping as well), if I click on
checkout without logging in, the mv_shipmode is null.  Also, I've rigged
account.html to have the mv_shipmode set hidden from view because it
defaults to null as well.  I guess this wouldn't be necessary if onlyl
DefaultShipping took hold. ;-)

Did I miss something?  Looking at preferences tab, it shows FLATD as
default SHIP_DEFAULT_MODE.  It's just not being applied to mv_shipmode
during an anonymous session (or as default during logged in).

Thanks. :-)

Ciao ?:-)

It should work; you might want to verify that FLATD is actually being
used 
on the checkout page (put shipmode: [value mv_shipmode] just above the 
shipping selector and see what it returns). You have no shipping rate 
between $80 and $9999999, by the way. You might want to fill that gap.
