ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

Rod,

I'm doing my head in here..

I use the Prepaid Satchels as an option, and in the estimator, and or at checkout, if that option is available, it displays

3kg Prepaid Satchel Express


I want to rename it Express Satchel

But I cannot find the instance anywhere where 3kg Prepaid Satchel Express is documented..

The text comes from the server. If you wish to change it you'll need to add a line or two of code into the ozpost.php file (one to test, the other to change).

Cheers
Rod

At least I know where it comes from now.. as for me writing code... hmmmmm...

Any chance you could offer some input ?

It's a bug.

Thanks for the quick response Rod. Do you have anymore info on the bug. I have seen in some posts that it does display sometimes. Just wondering if there is a work around.

How would this be done though? (which files etc) I am only just learning PHP / Zen Cart etc.

Kind Regards

If anyone can work this out, I for one would love to know!

In the ozpost.php file, search for the line that reads:
$description = ($xml->quote[$i]->description);

Then immediately after this, add the following:

if ( $description == "3kg Prepaid Satchel Express") {
$description = "Express Satchel" ;
}

I *think* that should work without any repercussions, but haven't actually tried it.

There are few of lines of code that didn't get ported from 'austpost' over to 'ozpost' - So the posts that say it 'displays sometimes' are either pure BS or they are referring to the older/obsolete module.

There are two fixes/workArounds.

If you just want to get rid of the 'xx's revert the tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php file back to the original zencart copy.

If you want the dimension data to be displayed (so instead of "xx" it will show something like "2x3x4" you'll need to add the 'missing' lines to the oppost.php file.

Specifically: Locate the line that reads"

if (MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_WEIGHT_FORMAT == "kgs") {$parcelweight = $parcelweight * 1000 ; }

Then immediatly after this line add the following:

$_SESSION['swidth'] = $parcelwidth ;
$_SESSION['sheight'] = $parcelheight ;
$_SESSION['slength'] = $parcellength ;
$_SESSION['boxes'] = $shipping_num_boxes ;

Thanks once again for your help Rod. Worked like a charm.

Just to correct the typo for any newbie like me, oppost = ozpost.

Is the server down again? It's not working at the moment...

No problems that I can see.
