ZipShip - Support Thread

[lat9]

I couldn't find a support-thread for the ZipShip shipping-module (other than a couple that have been closed), so here we go ...

I've just submitted v2.0.0 to the plugins for review; it's been tested under Zen Cart 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 but should be OK for earlier versions, too. The following changes were incorporated:

1. Use PSR indentation
2. Add "extends base" to class definition
3. Rename constructor to __construct for PHP 7+ usage
4. Don't enable the shipping method unless the current ship-to address is configured for the method.
5. Change usage of the PHP "split" function for PHP 5.3+ usage (it's deprecated).

Note: This version of the ZipShip shipping module is also needed for compatibility with the One-Page Checkout plugin.

I installed zipship for a client yesterday and set up their first zone, and everything seemed fine.

Today I got their complete local delivery fee table, which requires four zones. This seems to have revealed two possible issues.

First, I changed the number of zones in the includes/modules/shipping/zipship.php file from 3 to 4. This did not update the admin. I had to remove the module and then install the module again to get the fourth entry. Was this correct, or was there something else that needed to be done?

Second, I configured everything, but the dot in the list of modules is staying orange, instead of green as it was when I first set it up. Is there something I need to do to change this? It appears to be working correctly, as far as I can tell, just the indicator implies an error...

@weif, that's expected behavior (needing to remove and re-install after changing the number of zones).

I'll need to check as to why the orange light is remaining.

Lat9,

I think I've found another issue. It appears that if a delivery address is entered as a ZIP+4 (i.e. 59701-6593), the check fails and doesn't match any delivery options.

It looks like changing

 $this->dest_zipcode = $order->delivery['postcode'];

to

 $this->dest_zipcode = substr($order->delivery['postcode'],0,5);

around line 103 of includes/modules/shipping/zipship.php appears to correct the issue, but there may still be something missing, or some issue this causes.

weif, thanks for the report; I've logged this (as well as the other issue you reported) in the plugin's GitHub repository.

The solution you posted might work for US-based zipcodes, but not all zipcodes are the same format. I'll need to consider the best approach for full resolution of the issue.

Hi,
I've been struggling with updating my Zencart for about 3 weeks now. When I fix one thing another seems to break. Currently I am getting this in the logs after i go to the checkout page :

Undefined constant "MODULE_SHIPPING_ZIPSHIP_ZONE" in /home3/genesbea/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/zipship.php:77

Anybody got any ideas as to what is going on here please?

Thanks

PS My ZenCar version is currently : 1.5.8a/ The ZipShip version is 3.1 As suggested I have uploaded an image of the settings in my Modules section.

Interesting, any idea what version of ZipShip you upgraded from?

To correct your issue, navigate to your admin's Tools :: Install SQL Patches and run this query to add that missing setting:

INSERT INTO configuration
(configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, use_function, set_function, date_added)
VALUES
('Shipping Zone', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_ZIPSHIP_ZONE', '0', 'If a zone is selected, only enable this shipping method for that zone.', 6, 6, 'zen_get_zone_class_title', 'zen_cfg_pull_down_zone_classes(', now());
