AusPost module not handling UK postcodes.

[Peter Homann]

Hi Rod,

The AusPost shipping module does not handle UK postcodes as they have a space in the middle of them. i.e. TS10 4NN

The workaround I have to do is edit all UK accounts to remove the space.

Is it possible to have the space stripped from the postcode when submitted to the Auspost calculator?

Also is there any shipping module to handle EMS courier used by AusPost?

Thanks for the good work.

Cheers,

Peter.

The UK postcode problem has been fixed since V1.0

I've no plans at this stage to handle EMS courier.

Cheers

PS. I'm waiting on a bit of feedback regarding another bugfix, and if OK, another update will be uploaded in the next day or so.

Thanks Rod,

I went to install the latest version and I got the error;

1146 Table 'homann_zc1.products' doesn't exist
in:
[show columns from products]

Now nothing works. :-) I'm in a bit of a bind as the backup I made didn't work.

Any clues?

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi rod,

Using PhpMyAdmin to look at the database homann_zc1 there is a table called
zen_products. I don't see and fields for products_height, etc.

Do I need to add them? I thought the install would have done that.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi Crisis over. I added the fields into the database table.

The problem was that the install failed as my products table is called zen_products, and not products as required in the install function in austpost.php

Cheers,

Peter.

Darnit. This is the bug I think I've fixed but awaiting feedback on.

Screwit... I'm gunna upload it anyway... please grab V1.4 as soon as the zen team makes it available.

I'd really appreciate it is *someone* could let me know if I've fixed the problem or not.

Cheers

Hi Rod,

I have a problem with the shipping calculator. I have a product that is 10x10x1.6cm and 0.3kg

When I try to place an international order for 6 units, it says;

Estimate Shipping Costs
Total Items: 6  Weight: 1.8kgs  Amount: US$588.00 Dims: 10.00x10.00x9.6 Boxes: 1

and won't offer me a shipping method. BTW the only international shipping method I offer is insured air.

If I change the shipping address to a local adress and send it by express post it seems to be OK.

Any clues?

Peter.

Hi Rod,

In Version 1.4 line 105 of austpost.php it states;

$v = $db->Execute("show columns from products");

should this not be;

$v = $db->Execute("show columns from .TABLE_PRODUCTS.");

I ask this because in version 1.3 I had to change the line to;

$v = $db->Execute("show columns from zen_products");

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi Rod,

I turned on debugging in the austpost.php

This is the result;

via Cartoveridecube =:10.00x1.60x10.00x6C 960 - W 10.00 - H 3.5 - L 10.00 - I

A few things; The shipping method is Express post? I have not chosen a method yet.

If I change the shipping address to an Australian Address, it then works.

Also, if I change the number of units ordered to 4 rather than 6 it also works as shown below.

via Cartoveridecube =:10.00x1.60x10.00x4C 640 - W 10.00 - H 3.5 - L 10.00 - I

BTW, I only allow local shipping via express post, and international by insured airmail.

@#$%^%#$ Yup, that is what it should be... <sigh>. Another update coming soon.
