Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
I installed this mod for one of my clients and it worked fine. She sent me a message saying that she's had e-mail that first class international shipping was no longer available after the USPS updates this week. I checked for an update to the mod an found none so I installed the USPS update for 1.5 dated Jan 22 in the hopes that it would work. It looks like it generates the rates correctly but I have an error in admin:
Warning Shipping Configuration errors!
The parameters set in Package Dimensions Config #1 are invalid, please enter valid shipping parameters. Current setting will be overridden with default: 'regular;+'
The parameters set in Package Dimensions Config #2 are invalid.
Also the configuration options optional services for the mod are missing. Will this get an update to work with the USPS January changes or do I need to remove it?
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
This module has not been updated for the USPS January 22, 2012 changes ...
There is a RateV3 that is updated for the USPS January 22, 2012 changes in the Free Software Add Ons ...
Until this contribution is updated, you will probably need to go to the USPS January 22, 2012 for RateV3 if you want the First Class International to work ...
You might look at the Announcements on this, if you have trouble finding it:

Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
Though I'm certainly not qualified to update this mod, but while waiting for an official update,
I edited the:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php
by changing the word Package
to Parcel
In 4 places in the file where it was related to International First Class
Copied my USPS userID and settings.
Removed the mod from within Admin
FTP the changed file to the site
Installed the mod and restored my USPS UserID and settings.
First Class International Parcel now appears as a choice.
TNX Ajeh. I got the idea by comparing the new and old Stock USPS modules for differences.

Thanks! That worked like a charm. I did find and change Package 6 times in the file though. I tested the change on a local copy of her site and it worked correctly. I've updated my customers site and she's tested the change and verified that it's working correctly too.
thanks again for the help.
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
Hi:
On Jan. 22 I removed and then re-installed the USPS shipping module. Everything looks okay except that the module does NOT show any option for a customer to choose USPS First-Class mail PACKAGE rate. It shows all other options but including First-Class letter but it does not show the package option I've re-installed this module several times but to no avail. Can anyone help?
I am using v1.3.9e. I'd like to use the latest version but I cant figure out how to install it. If any one can help with this as well I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
Fick

Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
The new USPS January 22, 2012 release is in the Free Software Add Ons at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1962
Makes sure that you followed all the instructions in the readme.txt file ...
You can also test if you installed it correctly by doing a search in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box enter:
usps.php
and you should see the version id for:
* @version $Id: usps.php 18348F 2012-01-22 01:22:00Z ajeh $
Then, check if you are using Tare Rates in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... if so, are they making the weight too high for First Class? Or, do you need to change the decimal places from 3 to 2 on the USPS configuration? Note: in some cases you might need to change this to 1 ...
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
Hi:
I did everything instructed including calling BlueHost to be sure it was installed properly but I still get the same thing - no FIRST-CLASS INTNAT'L PACKAGE rate. Also, in the Developer Kit I see the following:
Line #9 : * @version $Id: usps.php 18306 2011-01-03 01:09:49Z ajeh $
which is not the code you said I should be seeing. Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Rick
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
It sounds like you are not installing the new files onto your server ...
In your FTP program, you should see the directory:
/includes
for your shop ...
When you unzip the new USPS January 22, 2012 download, you should see the directory:
/usps_v15
If you go into that directory, you will see the directory:
/includes
and the file:
readme.txt
Now, you want to copy the directory:
/includes
to your server with your FTP program so that you are overwriting the files on your server:
/includes
If asked do you want to overwrite files, say YES ...
Next, follow the instructions in the readme.txt
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
Hi I installed the update, everything seems to be fine except I got the warning messages in admin-->modules-->shipping
Shipping Configuration errors!
The parameters set in Package Dimensions Config #1 are invalid, please enter valid shipping parameters. Current setting will be overridden with default: 'regular;+'
The parameters set in Package Dimensions Config #2 are invalid.
I'm using v1.3.9h now.
Please advice if I should ignore the msgs or do something about it?
Thanks,
Re: USPS Shipping Module - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread
Sounds like it might be related to the Ratev4 that you were using that changes the file:
/your_admin_dir/modules.php
and now, as you are not using it, you are getting the warning ...
