There is a file called "INSTALL.txt" in the zip file that explains

... upload unziped files to root directory of your zencart installation
if you have a custom template installed copy
includes\templates\classic\templates\tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php
to
includes\templates\TEMPLATE_NAME\templates\tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

Then go to admin > modules > shipping
locate module ozpost, click 'install'

then optimally change the default shipping methods and packaging & handling fees.

Anyone else experiencing problems today? I can't get it to estimate shipping for any address I put in nor does it let customers proceed with a checkout.


I suspect Aust Post servers down? Can anyone confirm?

Servers are up.

There is an unidentified problem with *some* versions of the ozpost module that started a couple of days ago. I've been unable to determine which specific versions or any commonality between them. Best advise to date is to upgrade to the latest Version 2.

Hey RodG thanks for the quick reply!

After some testing my other ZenCart site which is running a much older Ozpost module works flawlessly however the newer module does not! I am pretty sure I am running the latest unless you've released an update within two weeks but I will proceed with updating anyway.

I am aware of this inconsistency, which is actually making it a lot more difficult to diagnose that it could be..

There is still an important 'clue' somewhere that I'm completely missing.

The very latest version (V2.0.6) was made avalailbe in the d/loads section sometime overnight (SA time). V2.0.5 was released 2-3 weeks ago.

Hi again!

It appears I was running an older version which had this mysterious problem. The new version 206 is running perfectly and calculating everything correctly. Loving the new features too thanks a lot RodG!

Thanks for the feedback.

In an effort to solve the mystery though, exactly what version was you running before (assuming you took note or can remember). No biggy if you can't, but as yet I still haven't identifed which specific versions are broken, and which aren't. And this is still assuming that the problem really is specific to a particular version (or versions) of the module.

The old version that appears to be working is (from the austpost.php)

$Id: austpost.php,v2.1.3 Feb 9th 2008

The one that I think was being problematic was Version: V1.0.2 (from the Addon page)

G'day Rod,

version 1.38

I have installed the latest version and it all works fine. But i have found a problem with my FCKeditor, it does not seem to want to work properly anymore. When i restore my website to a back up version running the fist version of ozpost my FCKeditor is working fine.

Have you had this issue reported to you? Do you think the new ozpost module can interfere with the editor? Do you have any suggestions on how i might resolve this problem.


The original ozpost module was great but now doesn't want to connect to the Australia post server anymore is there anyway you could reset this module for the people that don't need all the new improvements of the newest version of ozpost.

This would solve my issues and would be greatly appreciated if you supported the early version to server once again.

Thanks Rod.


Best Regards Sean

OK, now I'm really, totally and completely stumped.

"austpost" hasn't been able to provide valid quotes for well over a year now. It would/should have stopped working completely about a month or so ago when the old server was decommissioned.

"ozpost" Version: V1.0.2 (a completely different module than "austpost") is one of the versions that the log files indicate *isn't* affected by the current bug/problem.

I'm now starting to think.... actually I no longer know what to think.. perhaps MY best course of action would be to simply forget about the issue for a few days and perhaps see if it resolves itself in the same unexplained way that it has started?

Cheers
Rod
