Coolpierce stock now online

Last week we finally got the stock of organic body jewelry online at Coolpierce. The photographs don't really do the products justice and will have to be retaken sometime but at least visitors can now see the large range of bone, horn and wood jewelry. The wood earrings do seem to be very much in fashion again this year.

Totally Bali Website Finished

I just added new buttons to the Totally Bali jewelry website. The fairly complicated shipping module was built here over the last couple of weeks by modifying the Oscommerce contribution, Multi Geozone Multi Table module.

We had to make the new shipping module because the shipping cost matrix from Bali was just too large to fit in the Oscommerce configuration table where there is 256 character limit per line. We wanted to offer parcel post, EMS express post, DHL and FedEx shipping but not all countries could have all four. The Indonesian post office seems to have a separate postal rate for each country unlike the Thai post office which has just three zones.

We simplified the zones as much as possible but still ended up with 50 zones. With the Thai table I built we got it down to 23 zones. If anyone wants to use this module please leave a comment and I will send it.

Saying the site is finished isn't strictly correct because we will be adding products including the Bali handbag range soon.
