Not sure why you would have to be sorry?
You have helped me and I am very grateful.
I was just responding to your assumptions.

and the reason why it is 0.5 instead of 1 is as I said.  You added products with the default currency as USD and when you converted it to GBP it changed.

The only currency I have listed is GPB but the output was incorrect.

The reason the currency was incorrect was because the output was 0.5 instead of 1.

I Hate to say this but based on your last comments you have not properly implemented the UK template as an independent over-ride system.

The file at 'includes/languages/english.php' is one of the core files supplied by zen cart.  If you were using the UK template as designed you would be using the UK template version of english.php but it would be stored at
'includes/languages/custom/english.php'

The reason your price shows up at 7.93 is because when you added the product your default currency was dollars.

Then you've changed it to GBP and ZC has converted the price.  It's about half.

When you were experiencing difficulties initially, I offered you paid help and you decided not to take advantage of it then.  Sometimes when you don't have the knowledge it is quicker to pay something to get yourself on a firm basis to start with.

With the best will in the world I can't support on something that hasn't been installed as it should be.  I don't know what you've done, added etc and it's too time consuming to offer free support.

Please let me know if you'd like me to have a look to see what needs to be done to get it working how it should be.

Kev

Well I thank you for your help up to this point and if I wasn't homeless, jobless and penniless then I would have surely taken you up on your offer!!!! as is it right now, I don't have any other choice other than try and figure for myself so I will keep on trying!!!!

Not knowing what changes have been made all I can say is that it looks like you've used and overwritten a file somewhere in the UK template that isn't from the UK template.

Login to admin and use the developer tools to search for the phrase 'lbs'.
You are looking for any file in your template folder that has it.  This will 'probably' be the file you need to alter to kgs.

What is that file?

the file is  includes/languages/english.php

I found the file in UK file and overrode the files that were there and it is now showing as kgs...boy I didnt think this would be this hard...just when you think you are making progress something doesnt work right and you are floundering once again.
havent tested it to see if it works yet

kevinpolley wrote:

Also please confirm that you uploaded all of the UK template files into the correct folders.  In particular where the zip file contained folders called 'your_template' you re-named that folder to 'custom' or copied the files from that folder into the 'custom' folders you created as part of your template over-ride.

Yes I just renamed "your_template" to "custom" and deleted "your-template2"

Thanks for your help

Do you have any idea why when I price a product at 15 pounds it shows up as 7.93?

What shipping mod are you using?

Royal Mail

P.S.  it does look like you have set up the UK template smile - therefore all you need to do it alter the text of the appropriate shipping mod files.

Any Idea how I do that?

I have installed 3 UK templates using your step by step instructions and everything seemed to go according to plan. You can see by this page http:// peggy bob.com (not making it a live links because it's no finished:)) that the template looks like it has been installed.
On ALL three of them when I go into shipping and packaging  I get this....

"Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight
What is the weight of typical packaging of small to medium packages?
Example: 10% + 1lb 10:1
10% + 0lbs 10:0
0% + 5lbs 0:5
0% + 0lbs 0:0"

I have been working on this on and off for months now and I still cant work out what else I need to do!!!

Is there something else I need to change?

Your help will be very much appreciated!

Not great

I decided to go back to the beginning but experiencing difficulties.

I am really appreciative of the zen cart forums but I do find that some posters seem to skirt around the obvious.

Hi Peggy,

Shipping zones are not part of the UK template - try the Big Royal Mail shiiping mod.

As for not having layout boxes ..... Now I'm confused.
You were right to keep an eye on security but Zen Cart uses layout boxes to allow the positioning of everything.

Not sure why you got that message to be honest.  It's probably something to do with the code and not you.

I'm going to email you.

Kev

Ok well I am really confused because one of my carts list all the counties in the shipping zones and the other lists countries...What did I do?....lol

Ok I will look forward to the email.... smile

You can. It's not exactly what it was set up to do but you can work around it.

With the uploaded but unmodified carts - upload the files in to the correct over ride directories (you understand this bit ???).

Open up PHPmyadmin and import the MySQL file -  That SHOULD work.

Do you have access to PHPMyadmin or was that yet more gobbleDgook???  smile smile

We'll get there - he says looking up hopefully smile

Kev

Well funnily enough I have accessed PHPMyadmin before but the contents inside were gobbledegook LOL

Ya know what I did?

I just uploaded the admin and includes files to my server and it worked...

Well for one cart it did sad

The other one had a nice union jack but no shipping zones.

So I continue to fumble about in the dark and get lucky sometimes....lol

Hi Peggy

congratulations you have been busy.

It can be done it's just a case of being brave and remembering to back up before doing anything.

The UK template module is basically split into two parts.  Files and MySQL.

If you just upload the UK template files into the correct template locations they will affect your work - not good.

You need to run them trough WinMerge using your files as the comparison.   As a rough guide - If it's a code type change, leave it be.  If it's text decide if you want to change it smile ...  Simple see!

The MySQL is not so easy to tell you about.

How conversant are you with adding MySQL code snippets into PHPMyadmin etc?

Kev

I wish I knew what you just said to me....

Does that answer your question? smile

I suppose I will just have to continue as I have been doing.

I have other carts installed on my server for more stores when I get this one finished.

Would I be able to upload the UK files to the carts I haven't  modified yet? and if so, how would I go about that?

Thanks

Hi,
I had already began customizing the US version of the zen cart before I realised there was the UK option.

Is there a way I can "update" my cart to the UK setting without "overriding the changes I have made already?

All this is a major learning curve for me. smile

Here is my cart with the changes I have made so far (mostly design) but the URL is just temporary whilst I am waiting for a domain transfer.

( I have "altered" the URL as I don't want it to get into the search engines until it is  complete)

h ttp:www.storerevolution.com/cart

Any advice would be appreciated.
