Re: ozpost shipping module
Hi Rod,
Great module. Is there a way to disable the "shipping from" part in the postage quotation. I ship from multiple locations, but use flat rate satchels so does not affect pricing or timescales. Is there a line of code i can remove, or does it go deeper than that?
Cheers
Colin
Re: ozpost shipping module
2nd Question. Is it possible to use ozpost in association with the free shipping module? I do have certain items that are free shipping, and charge standard rates for the others.
Cheers,
Colin

Good question. Offhand I can't recall if that is an ozpost addition or a part of the default zencart system.
In either case, the file to modify to remove this info is
tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

Not only possible, but actually essential if free shipping is required.
This question actually took me by surprise. Over the years I've had dozens of people ask if the ozpost module itself could be made to support free shipping, and my answer has always been the same.. "No, because this is best served by using one of the existing free shipping modules, which if working correctly will negate the need for the ozpost module to be called under the free shipping circumstances".

Re: ozpost shipping module
Thanks for that.
With the free shipping module enabled, it offers free shipping AND the ozpost postage options. Is there a set of circumstances that will 'disable' the ozpost module and ONLY allow the free shipping for a 'free shipping product'. One of the other modules allow this if you set the weight of the item to 0. The ozpost will then kick in if the customer selects a non free shipping item.
Have i not got one of the settings correctly configured?

There is nothing in the ozpost module itself that will (or should?) have any effect in this regard.
The logic is simple. Zencart itself does/should 'know' when a product has free shipping and under such circumstances the paid shipping modules shouldn't even be activated.
At least that is the way it is working in our zencart store.

Re: ozpost shipping module
Hi
We have just noticed we are getting these errors when we try to edit the ozpost module in admin.
Error cURL communication ERROR: name lookup timed out
Error cURL communication ERROR: name lookup timed out
Error Unable to connect to Ozpost servers
As a result, our store is only showing Pick up and there is no other options. It was working yesterday or the day before yesterday.
Any help will be much appreciated.
thanks

Name lookup errors are usually associated with your hosting company. Such errors are usually shortlived and appear to resolve themselves. If the problem persists for more than an hour or so (tops) then you should submit a fault report to your webhost.

Re: ozpost shipping module
Still not having much luck on this. Product is set to 'Yes, Always Free Shipping' and when i add it to the cart it shows the free shipping quotation, but also the ozpost multipost quotations, which i dont want listed as it is free shipping . I also have flat rate module installed, and it does NOT add this option to the cart, so the freeshipper module does appear to be working fine. Any thoughts on this? should i be using the free shipping with options module? I have no other shipping modules installed
Re: ozpost shipping module
Hi Guys!
Im using version v1.3.9h
by the looks of it everyone seems to know a lot more about using zen cart than me! So I'm hoping someone can help me...
I am located in australia and for each Item in my online store I want to break down shipping costs into 3 categories: Within Australia, UK and USA, all other international orders.
Is it possible to do this / is there an easy way to do this?!!
any help would be very much appreciated!
