Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Attempting to update USPS shipping Module. No shipping methods/rates at all.

1.) Removed/Deleted old USPS shipping module according to instructions. Even applied for and received a new Web Tools User ID.
2.) Downloaded, unzipped and uploaded new USPS data to server in proper locations. Developers Tool Kit shows:

/web/store/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Line #12 : * @version $Id: usps.php 2014-03-07 ajeh Version K3 $

3.) Configured all choices according to my needs.

3.) Installed new module and in the "SHIPPING MODULES" there is no "United States Postal Service" or "usps" in the place it was.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

You should have two files:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Also, check that you have loaded the code file to:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and the language defines to:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Both files were uploaded to the proper directories. The installation looks like its there but seems fragmented because "United States Postal Service and "usps" aren't appearing in the "Shipping Modules area of ZC. The Module can be edited when you click on the blank line but its like ZC doesn't recognize the module is there at checkout because it's not "named." If that makes any sense.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Are you getting any debug logs in the /cache directory?

You say you are using v139b ... I do not know if that version has issues vs v139h ... so far I cannot reproduce this in v139h ...

Try deleting the language file on the server:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

and reload the language file ...

One more time, do the test for the files ...

Go to your Zen Cart Admin and go to Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

In the bottom input box enter:
usps.php

Then, select Catalog ... click SEARCH ...

What comes up on the lines for:
* @version $Id: usps.php

You should get two files listed ...

Next, go to Modules ... Shipping ... and do a REMOVE, INSTALL and reconfigure of USPS ... any change?

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

I re loaded the files to the server this morning in both locations. Checked the Developers Tool Kit search just now and get this:

/web/store/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Line #12 : * @version $Id: usps.php 2014-03-07 ajeh Version K3 $

I have tried to remove the module in ZC but it won't let me. I think its got something to do with the "blank" area to the left. See screen shot - I marked in RED, the missing area:

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

I still am not sure why you do not find two files when you do that search ...

Go to Tools ... Install SQL Patches ... and run:

delete from configuration where configuration_key like 'MODULE\_SHIPPING\_USPS\_%';

That should remove the USPS shipping module from the configuration table ...

Check now on Modules ... Shipping ... is the blank area for the module still blank? If you click on it, does it show as installed or needing to be installed?

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Ran the code. Looks like it removed the module but the area for the module is still blank with only the "INSTALL" button showing to the right.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

And you still find no debug logs in the /cache directory, correct?

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Edit the file:

/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and find the line:

  function __construct() { // for older php < 5.1.0 change to usps() instead of __construct()

Change that to read:

  function usps() { // for older php < 5.1.0 change to usps() instead of __construct()

Does it work?

What version of php are you using?

Yes, here are three out of ten from yesterday:

[24-Jun-2014 14:49:50] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class usps in /web/store/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 20

It looks like you've got two issues:
1) The parse error in /includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php (separate fix)
2) You've renamed your old USPS shipping module to something like usps_older_version.php instead of something like usps.php.older_version. Zen Cart loads all files that have a .php extension from /includes/modules/shipping, that's why you're getting the class redeclaration error.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Could you also check that you do not have any old, renamed usps.php files such as usps.fred.php or oldusps.php or .bak files etc in the the directory on the server for:
/includes/modules/shipping

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Changed code as per your instructions and it put the wording back into the blank space.

function usps() { // for older php < 5.1.0 change to usps() instead of __construct()

I'll try a re-install now.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Re-install was successful, blank area filled. Tried going through order process and get a blank window when I click on get shipping estimate. I think we're making progress however.

Re: Problems With Installation of New USPS Shipping Module

Did you check for extra files in your directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

to ensure that there are no duplicate loading of the files?

Can you check the /cache directory and refresh it to see if there are any new debug logs generated? If so, what are their contents?

I don't see any files like that in /includes/modules/shipping. I only see the modules that appear in ZC.
