How does work the shipping calculation into ezp 3.8+ ?

Its seems that there is a built-in "simple handler" that make a fixed calculation but i can't make it work :

- I create the workflow
- I assign it to "confirm order => before"

-> In my basket nothing appears.

Does this simple handler exist or do i have to create a custom handler myself ?

I really don't understand this point.

ANy help appreciated.

Hi Martin

Did you read this:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/features/improved_shipping_handling
and here is the shippinghandler itself

Thanx a lot Claudia. I start to finally understand how shipping works in 3.8.x

People should know that it has nothing to do with the Workflow/events system and that you need to developp (or download from contributions) you own shipping handler (extension).

But what is there so much documentation about setting up the shipping functions into Workflow/Events system ?

From what i now know it has nothing to do with it ?

So i managed to get something by making this :

1 - Downloading the ezsampleshipping module
2 - Uncompress into extension dir
3 - Activate the extension into desired site.ini level
4 - Import the provided .sql into db
5 - Create/Modify shop.ini into your siteaccess with those settings :
6 - Allow rights for Anonymous on this module

[ShippingSettings]
Handler=ezsample
RepositoryDirectories[]=extension/ezsampleshipping/shippinghandlers/
ExtensionDirectories[]=ezsampleshipping

Then update you basket view....ouf
