AUSTPost module

Recently I downloaded the auspost model. It looks awesome and would solve so many of my shipping issues.

I had a little trouble installing it as there were a few sql issues.

Currently I can't seem to get it to work. I have V3.02 of the AUSpost mod.

I tested it and I got this error when trying to ship to Australia. I also get this error when shipping internationally.

'Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.'

I tired adding all individual aus states to the zone definition but this does not work.

does anyone have any idea why this is not working. I followed all instructions and cannot figure out why.

:unsure:

Hi, We use the fantastic Aust Post shipping module, but we want to also ship to New Zealand, I have searched on what I need to change, but am basically confused. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Try using the "Austpost Improved" module. The one that you downloaded hasn't been updated for a couple of years and may not be compatible with the latest versions of zencart.

Do you have the overseas parcel post option enabled?

Ok, we have done that! Thankyou but we only want to ship tp Australia and New Zealand, can you restrict that anywhere? I have had people email from who knows where! Thanks

This would normally be done via the 'zone' files, but since so many people originally had trouble setting these up simply to differentiate between 'Australia' and 'Not Australia' I found it easier (for all) to let the module do this automatically.

The downside being that it is no longer 'easy' for the end user to set up and use their own zone files for specific purposes, such as yours.

The easiest way to limit delivery to any given country is to simply remove it from the dropdown list. Alas, I have no idea where that code resides.

Hi Rod,

I was using the Austpost module well until I changed to another provider (won't mention names but I made a huge mistake changing to them :( ).

Anyway, after I changed everything over the Austpost module has errors that for the life of me I can't figure out.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled but it still has the same errors when trying to checkout:

Warning: file() [function.file]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /var/virtual/web/w1248/html/shop/includes/modules/shipping/austpost.php on line 624

Warning: file(http://drc.edeliver.com.au/ratecalc....=80&Quantity=1) [function.file]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /var/virtual/web/w1248/html/shop/includes/modules/shipping/austpost.php on line 624

When I go to line 624 it has this:

$myfile = file($url);

My website is:

I can't find any posts about this. This is the only shipping module I want to use as it worked the best for me.

Thanks

Under the Austpost settings you'll see something like this
"Use cURL
Try Setting this to Yes if you get server connection errors"

That should fix your problem,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried as you suggested and recieved exactly the same error.

Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.

In tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php this line seems to be the problem
if (zen_count_shipping_modules() > 0) {

However it is installed in the admin.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I can't see why it will not work.

I digged a bit more and it seems to be a generic problem with my shipping.

I tracked the problem to the classes in the $GLOBALS arrays.
IE an auspost object is at $GLOBALS[austpost] however it's enabled values is null.

This is to case for all shipping methods I set. Their enable values is set to null, hence the system believes that they are not on.

I’m going to keep digging any help would be appreciated as Im not familiar with the shipping systems in zen cart
