fedex dimensional shipping not working

[prodigious]

Hello,

I have installed Zen Cart 1.3.9h, and have version 1.4.5.2 of the Fedex Module. My client would like to enable dimensional support for the shipping calculations, so I checked up on the threads here and saw I had to install the latest version (1.0) of "attribute dimensions". I did that, executed the SQL code, and then went to the Attribute Controller area of my Zen cart admin and tried to add some dimensions to a given product. When I put in some and hit "insert" , it simply went right back to the admin homepage without any altering of the database.

Has anyone been able to get this to work? I'm not getting any errors, but it's not inserting any dimensions, either.

One thing to note is that the instal.sql file had the tables listed differently - I had to add a zen_ before each ALTER line of code. But other than that, everything is installed normally.

Thanks all-
Mike

Who is the author of this dimensional shipping module and is there a way to contact them?

The support for dimensions in the fedex module means that further work will be needed in order to get your cart ready - you cannot use the attributes to put in the dimensions. The length and width fields have to be added to the database and then your admin files have to be changed to add that to your products.

In the readme - it says at the very bottom that this module has to be used for dimensional support: (requires Auction Site Attributes module). Don't think that's available now.

There's been 3 folks who have worked on this mod and it has been under some trying situations with Fedex but none of three are supporting it any longer.

Do anyone know of a solution to this lack of dimensions support issue as of yet? I have installed the FedEx module however without dimension support this module is useless to me, because a lot of my packages I send out are large.

thanks

I changed the code lines 581 to line 583 of fedexground.php from this
if (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_DIMENSIONS == 'True') {
$max_length = (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_WEIGHT == "KGS") ? 274 : 108;
$max_girth = (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_WEIGHT == "KGS") ? 419 : 165;
to this

if (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_DIMENSIONS == 'True') {
$max_length = (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_WEIGHT == "KGS") ? 1 : 1;
$max_girth = (MODULE_SHIPPING_FEDEX_GROUND_WEIGHT == "KGS") ? 4 : 1;
This changed fixed my issues. Before I made this change my quote would come back at less than half of the actual shipping cost.
