Product based shipping [VQMOD]

v1.1: Update

On the default theme, the cart weight is no longer shown at the top of the cart.
As is, I can only guarantee that this will work on the defualt theme.
Please see the joined readme.txt file to see how to adapt this for other themes which show the weight at the top of the cart.

====================================
This extension is a modification of the weight based shipping extension included with OC.
It enables you to set shipping prices per product per geo zone.
You are now able to use the weight field (re-labelled to Shipping ID) as a unique number corresponding to a shipping price strategy.

Example:

lShipping ID l Geozone 1 l Geozone 2 l Geozone 3
Product A l 1 l $5 l $10 l $20
Product B l 1 l $5 l $10 l $20
Product C l 2 l $2 l $3 l $5
Product D l 3 l $0 l $3 l $5

Product A and B have the same Shipping ID as they have the same price strategy.
The corresponding configurations in the admin panel would be as follows:

Geozone 1: 1:5.00,2:2.00,3:0.00
Geozone 2: 1:10.00,2:3.00,3:3.00
Geozone 3: 1:20.00,2:5.00,3:5.00

NOTE: Geo zones can also be set as 'express shipping', 'next day shipping', etc. not just regional values.

Without this extension, if someone bought 2xProduct A, they would be charged $2 shipping for geozone 1 as the total weight of the cart would be 2.

This extension fixes this and instead they will be charged $10.

**Single download of this extension is only for the installation at one Shopping cart/website domain.

Available for 1.5.x(vqMod Version). No hard editing of your core files.

Download the files and copy the xml to your vqmod xml folder.

This extension will change the following:
->'weight' in product options will become 'Shipping ID'
->the shipping extension 'weight based shipping' will be renamed 'Product Based Shipping'
->When the customer calculates the shipping costs, it will no longer show the weight of the cart(as this is irrelevant), just the price of shipping for the available geo zones.
