Installation

This package requires an installed OXID eShop.

Execute the file 1_install.sql in your shop database.

Data customisation

In the database table d3isles you will now find the most common postcodes for which special treatment of the delivery is normally provided (e.g. price increases due to island surcharge). Add postcodes not yet included in this table or delete extra entries. (An editing option in the admin area is currently not provided for this).

Rewrite previous customer data

In order to assign existing customer accounts to the newly available island areas, please additionally execute the file 2_zuordnung.sql in your shop database.

Adjust settings

Finally, adjust your shipping settings separately for mainland and islands and the respective country and configure the "new" country if required.

Notes

Note that mainlanders and islanders are now seen as residents of two different countries in the shop. It is possible that statistics or plugins that require a unique country will no longer fit. However, this change has no effect on normal operation.

This package does not contain any logic-changing scripts. If an island address is incorrectly assigned to the mainland by the shop customer, this is not automatically fixed. It is possible that inappropriate shipping costs will then be charged. Run the '2_assignment.sql' file automatically on a regular basis to keep stock account assignments up to date. Ad hoc corrections can be developed based on the data contained here.

Extensibility

The database changes are designed so flexibly that the entries can also be used for any other country with corresponding special features apart from Germany. The only condition is that the selection can be made via the postcode (or a derivative thereof). Then, for your entries in the table d3isles, change the contents to oxcountryid (country of origin) and oxislescountry (new country of assignment). Create the additional country according to the default for Germany in the country table. Then run the file 2_zuweisung.sql again.

Changelog
