Make kgs and cm the default:

In the collect_info.php files for that addon you'll see these lines near the top:

Code:

---

//added Canada Post start
                                  'products_weight_type' => '',
                                  'products_dim_type' => '',

---

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change that to:

Code:

---

//added Canada Post start
                                  'products_weight_type' => SYSTEM_WEIGHT_UNITS,
                                  'products_dim_type' => SYSTEM_DIMENSION_UNITS,

For those who do not want (1 box(es) to be shipped) to show.

Go to includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php.

Look for:

'module' => $this->title . ' (' . $this->boxCount . MODULE_SHIPPING_PACKAGING_RESULTS . ')');

Look for: USA Lettermail: no estimated delivery date

You can change it to anything you like: U.S.A Letter-post, up to 2 weeks


Look for: International Lettermail: no estimated delivery date

You can change it to anything you like: INTL Letter-post, up to 2 weeks


Go to includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php.

Code:

---

case 'US':
                        {
                                $table_cost = split("[:,]" , constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA'));
                                $lettermail_service = "USA Lettermail: no estimated delivery date";
                                break;
                        }
                              default:
                          {
                                $table_cost = split("[:,]" , constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL')); //Use overseas rate if not Canada or US
                                $lettermail_service = "International Lettermail: no estimated delivery date";
                              }

---

Change to:

Code:

case 'US':
                        {
                                $table_cost = split("[:,]" , constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA'));
                                $lettermail_service = "U.S.A Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
                                break;
                        }
                              default:
                          {
                                $table_cost = split("[:,]" , constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL')); //Use overseas rate if not Canada or US
                                $lettermail_service = "INTL Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
                              }

Canada Post advised me that Lettermail rates to US and International from Canada MUST be a paper letter/document in order to qualify for the rate, regardless of whether the dimensions qualify. :(

Hello soxophoneplayer,

I use Light Packet through PayPal to ship my items to USA and International.

Light Packet™ - USA (delivery in as few as 4 days)*
A specialized product for sending very small and lightweight items (less than 500g) such as CDs and DVDs to the USA for an economical price.

Light Packet™ - International (delivery in as few as 4 days)*
A specialized product for sending very small and lightweight items (less than 500g) such as CDs and DVDs to international destinations for an economical price.

Light Packet cost a bit more than letter-post.

Light Packet USA: http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/pr...usa-e-05-e.pdf

Light Packet International: http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/pr...inter-e-04.pdf


includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php.

Canada Post do not have module for Light Packet as yet.

I set "USA Lettermail: no estimated delivery date" to "Light Packet USA, up to 2 weeks" and "International Lettermail: no estimated delivery date" to "Light Packet INTL, up to 2 weeks."

Vanishing Lettermail

Here's a little snag I hit and figured out.... in case someone else hits the same snag - I'm rebuilding by web site, local host, in 1.3.9d and have my mods copied over, including Canada Post - which worked except that Lettermail quotes weren't showing up even though letter mail was enabled in admin/config/modules/shipping/Canada Post.

I thought I must have mucked up a merge, so went through all the files and found nadda.

Then I checked admin/config/shipping-packaging - and there was the problem - there is a default Tare % set, which was pushing my product weights over the limit for lettermail.

I set the tare rates to zero, and all is well in the world.

I have zencart 1.3.8 and the canada post module installed. it all works fine. What I need help with is this:

It shows the customer, an estimated arrival date for their package(s). I'd like to remove this because I only ship once or twice a week and it assumes it's going out that day. Anybody know what I need to edit or change? Because I haven't been able to figure it out.:(

Near the bottom of the file is this section of code:

Code:

---

        $aryProducts[$index] = array(
                        $name . ', ' . $deliveryDate => $rate);

---

Change that to:

Code:

---

$aryProducts[$index] = array(
                        $name => $rate);

Hi,
I know I'll look dumb, but once I unzipped the file, I put it in my localhost server.

Where am I supposed to log into the admin section?
I tried all the php paths that are into the files; the only thing that are happening are illegal access or nothing at all.

Could you maybe post a longer tutorial on how are we supposed to use that module?

P.S. I'm sorry about asking that because I read all the posts here and no one seemed to have any trouble with that.. I just really need to make it work.

Thanks!
