Hello janissaire,

That's okay! It's in the "Add / Modify / Delete Boxes".

You will see:

Description | Weight Limit of Box (kg) | Box Weight (kg) | Length (cm) | Width (cm) | Height (cm)

Hello Everyone,

Carley got her Canada Post working. Well done!

*******************************************

I've just make correction and change "Regular Mail" back to "Lettermail".

In Version 1.3.9h1: Regular Mail is Lettermail
Version 1.3.9h2 will show Lettermail

When editing always be careful. Always look out for these in red: '....' or "...."

If you see "Regular Mail" just change it to "Lettermail". When I update the module I forgot to change "Regular Mail" to "Lettermail".

I'm using easy populate for my store and I'm wondering if there's a way to get it to feed the size wieght dimensions from the spreadsheet into the Canada Post module area without having to code each and every one of the products in by hand one at a time via the catalogue in admin.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

I did indeed get it working & I'm so happy about it! I forgot to post here after PMing you about getting it working Royal, sorry about that!

Now i just have to get a ton of other modules taken care of (waiting to hear back from a company that makes some of them - they said they can try to let me know if any of them will cause issues or "not co-operate" with any of the others before i try installing them) and then my stores cart will be ready to go Live!
I'm so excited, it's taken a long time to get to this point, even though I really don't have all that much done LOL

Royal - can you build in a simple (well ok I call it simple - maybe it isn't) security feature for the the shipping module?

Here's my idea -

Once the module is installed there is, like other modules - items for Name / Password or the site you need to connect to.

i.e. Module talks to Canada Post

User name - Tony
Password - Spumoni

Now this isn't and issue if you are a single person running your own store BUT if you have extra admins - can they also see this info?

Can we make the side panel in the admin section look like:

User Name - Tony
Password - *******

That way, if you get a disgruntled admin - and they want to change everything before they quit - they can't because you have already limited their acces to information.

It also keeps you from having to change all of your passwords on those other sites everytime an admin quits.

Is this an easy fix or add on?

Hello janissaire,

I've not tried Easy Populate. I wouldn't know where to begin.

Hello janissaire,

Not exactly what you looking for. But it might work admin control.

Have you tried this: Admin Profiles add-in: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=86

[janissaire]

Easy Pop is great for those who have a lot of items in their store - I'm currently using it - the only drawback to it, that I can see, is that I have to go into each of my products via the catalogue and set the size wieght dimensions manually = very time consuming

Thanks also for the module re admins - it's a good thing to know about

Here is SQL you can use to update the Lettermail Rates for 2011

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:0.59, 0.050:1.03, 0.100:1.25, 0.200:2.06, 0.300:2.85, 0.400:3.25, 0.500:3.50" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN";

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:1.03, 0.050:1.25, 0.100:2.06, 0.200:3.60, 0.500:7.20" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA";

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:1.75, 0.050:2.50, 0.100:4.10, 0.200:7.20, 0.500:14.40" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL";

Also ensure you setup "Lettermail" in your sellonline account as per instructions in an earlier post.
