Firstly i love the new module, very cool coding :)

Could you point me to the script area in the new module to change the wording "Aussie Post" that comes up in the cart and the estimates page. I would like to delete the Aussie bit out.

Any help here would be muchly appreciated.

Regards

Go into your admin, click on tools, then Developers tool kit.

In the bottom field, type in Aussie Post, then on the check box beside that, select All files - Catalogue/Admin, then click search

That will tell you what file "Aussie Post" is in..

It's a great tool for finding files, saves searching high and low...

Worked a treat!

Thanks Mike :flex:

Hello,

Is it possible to use the newer ozpost with php4 ?

As I just figured our austpost scrip no longer works for the meanwhile, so I just tried the newer script. But it appears php version requires to be updated.

Thanks!

Actually, i just noticed that i can upgrade my PHP to 5.2, so its all good now. Will give it a go when the transfer is complete.

The next question I have is the photo of the shipping module appears not to show up at the moment, is that normal? Thanks

Sorry again for all the post, you can ignore the ones above.

Ok I have another small problem - I would like to use this module only for Australia, but it seems that the international rates (specifically, letter rates) appear even though "oversea" shipping methods are all disabled. Is there any way around that as I would only require International Express for international.
(Ps i'm using ozpost 1.02)
Any help would be appreciated.

For the past week my shipping estimator has been showing an error message:

I assumed this was due to the server problem Rod posted about but as he has advised that the Ozpost server has been restored, does anyon else have any idea what might be wrong?

I notice someone else had the same problem but couldn't find a response.

thanks

Hi,

I've just tried the new Ozpost module. I was previously using the AUStpost_improved version but that seems to have stopped working due to the server being down at Australia post.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the OZpost module working either. I've installed it but when I click on "estimate postage" or just travel through the checkout process I just get a blank screen. If I do a refresh of the page it seems to show the appropriate shopping cart page but there are no shipping options listed. There are no errors shown.
I'm using zencart 1.3.8, on a Zues server. My host provider uses shared sessions if thats an important factor.

does anyone have any ideas as to what this is?

Get it here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1286

Based on lessons learned from my development of the 'Austpost Improved' module this is all new code, all new servers, with many, many improvements.

As with any new code though there are sure to be lots of new bugs.

This thread is the place to report and discuss any issues that you may have.


Enjoy

Hi Rod,

I would like to suggest one thing.
I was using the austPost module and I didn't know that it is no longer supported and didn't know about the ozPost.
Could you edit the austpost module download page and say that is no longer supported and also put the link to ozPost download page.I think this way everybody will migrate to ozPost and avoid problems.

Which was my case!

Cheers!

At the moment, nothing is 'normal'.

Seriously, if you are referring to the vcsweb logo, this probably hasn't been uploaded to the new servers yet. This'll probably 'fix itself' as we get more and more data migrated over).

At the moment we are concentrating on functionality rather than good looks.

In case you are unaware, due to 3rd party abuse we lost access to our servers last weekend. As well as all of our 'free' services we have over 50 domains (paying clients) that need to be migrated. Many with custom programming that needs updating for various reasons, so needless to say, these take priority.

Cheers
Rod

If you have debug enabled, then disable it and the problem should go away.

If debug is not enabled, then you may have found a bug (how ironic, eh), in which case, please remind me about it in a few weeks.

Cheers
