FYI, suburb names are new in V2.1.1, and only the first matching postcode is used for the initial setup, so if the suburb name happens to be incorrect then typing in the correct name will override this default name.

Looks like this was the culprit...
No, not your setting, but the servers reaction to it... A bit of faulty logic on my part. Should be OK now. It'd be good if you could confirm.

I changed Hide parcel rates if letter sized to No
and it seems to be working now

Thanks.

The next thing I was going to do was leave debug on but hide it with display:none or 
But its fixed now thanks.

Postage Delays on Express Parcels

I did a quick search for this error but did not find anything, apologies if it has allready been posted.

I have just installed the latest version, and now when I get a quote that includes express post, it doesnt add the 4 days postage delay that I currently have set.

Please let me know if I have something set wrong as it looks setup right to me.

Thanks in Advance.

I have just installed the latest version,

Along with this statement needs to be the actual version number, because a new version may have been released between the time you downloaded it and the time of posting your error report .... Not to mention that some people are still installing V1.0.2 from *somewhere* and assuming that is the latest version.

.

V2.1.1 (the current zencart release) uses the more accurate DATE format by default. Versions prior to this used the number of days.

Please see the following info page for more details:
http://shop.vcsweb.com/index.php?mai...id=7&chapter=1

The postage delay method can only work with the DAYS format (it is a simple addition of the days delay and the days expected delivery)

At the moment to select the alternate method it needs a small modification to one of the ozpost files (see detail on page listed above).

I'm still wotking on a couple of server issues at the moment, but I'll be releasing a new update ASAP that will make the new settings and options a bit more user friendly.

You didn't need to do that... Like I said, it was a logic error on the server, which I had already fixed and was awaiting your confirmation. If you've also changed the setting at your end we'll never know if my fix worked ot not. Oh well, If still broke I'm sure someone else will report it, eventually. :blink:

You are indeed correct, there ARE three sizes, but no one ever uses A5, do they? (too small)

Hhmmm... I never realised this.... I think the best/easiest solution for this one would be replace the A5 quotes with the A3 ones.. working on the assumption that if the item fits into an A5 it'll also fit into the A3, and as I saisd, does anyone actually use A5 stachels?

I think A5 is the one that allows 500gm

I need to double check this myself now ..

OK, just checked.... The calculations are based on 3kg & 5kg, so it is apparently the text that is incorrect, but I think that is originating from the FastWay server <???????>

I would (in fact that is what it is doing now, I think..) .. but it is the A5 which is the odd one one and probably never used... ... or not....... I'm really not sure now ... it all made perfect sense when I first coded it (as usuall, I didn't realise what I was getting myself into).

Thanks for the feedback and reports.. I seem to have a fair bit to look into and resolve at the moment, so to minimise disruptions I'll be working offline for the next few days to see what can be done.

I'll post a note here when I'm done so that you can test to see if I've resolved the issues, or somehow made them worse :)

Re: ozpost shipping module

hi RodG,

Thanks for looking into FW satchel... If possible I would like A2 & A3 to work, as you said its probably use most. but the price return from FW is for A5 and A2.

One more problem I have... hopefully last lolz.
When I view order details in admin. Sometime shipping want to display as images but it can't find the images, when I view the source file...the image is pointing the template folders... but it was looking in admin folder instead of normal folder... and as you know that it will not find the image because its not in there.

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4...ceshipping.jpg

Funny thing is that it does not happen all the time (most of the time though)... and when this happen we can't really tell at all what option customer has select (my clients can tell because they know that this price is for which option)

I have no clue why this is happen.
So I am not sure if this happen in coding at ozpost server side or what? If possible I would like it to display as text instead of image all the time...

If this shipping info display is generate at client side can you tell me which file should i be looking at to fix this??

Thanks
