Hello Pete,
we are planning on releasing a version of the Royal Mail shipping extension for J2Commerce v6 soon.
The version of Royal Mail for J2Commerce 4 is meant to be working all the way to Joomla 6.
Olivier.
Does the latest version of the royal mail plug-in still use the F0F libraries?
Royal Mail works with J2Commerce v4, therefore uses F0F since it is based on core functionality of J2Commerce v4, no matter the Joomla version (4, 5 or 6).
The version for J2Commerce v6 for Joomla 6 will not use F0F.J2Commerce v6 does not use F0F.
Olivier.
is it possible to revert to using J2commerce 4 in the meantime? I note that it still in place on our system...
If you did not uninstall J2Commerce v4, you can re-enable it and disable J2Commerce v6. You will be able to migrate the new data from v4 to v6 once you are ready to use v6.
Olivier.
Is there a timeline for the Royal Mail v6 plugin? reverting to J2v4 and back is a big task but our shop (currently closed) can't function without that plugin
Hello Pete,
you may have moved on since last July on this subject, but if you are still looking for the add-on, it is now ready. Let me know if you want it before we release it (which will take extra time so we can prepare the page and documentation).
Olivier.
Aye, we had to 'move on'; I created a shipping rate for the options we need, based on the current RM prices; the question is always 'how easy is it to update' and the answer is bound to be 'difficult'; is your's based on the old table that includes every RM option? ; that made updating a challenge because we were clear what rates we needed but finding them in the database just had too many potential errors; we've also stopped delivering to the EU while this tariff business continues, so our needs are even smaller, though the table does still have EU options,
