If you're using USPS K11a, then including a modified version of the autoloaded observer example (present in the zip-files /extras sub-directory) should disable media-mail unless all products in the cart are from category 15:

            case 'NOTIFY_USPS_UPDATE_OR_DISALLOW_TYPE':
                // -----
                // Disallow "Media Mail" unless all products in the cart have their master_categories_id within category 15.
                //
                if (stripos($p1, 'Media Mail') !== false) {
                    $chk_media = 0;

                    $chk_media += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id', '15');
                    if ($chk_media == $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
                        $p2 = false;
                    }
                }
                break;

If that books category contains sub-categories, you'll need to add additional lines to check for the presence of each of the sub-categories.

Thanks, I can use that too.

Finally got through to USPS. They acknowledge problems since around 1300 CDT and have no estimate as to when the service will be back on line.

I'm also currently down thanks to that since early this afternoon. This is one of my busiest weeks of the year the week before the last holiday too. Hope they get something figured out and quick! The USPS sites calculator is working, just not the one I use (most current version).

Just an FYI I figured out what was wrong. Apparently I didn't have the most current USPS Plug In so downloaded the 8/7 one and installed and now my site's working again. Must have been some small issue that caused the previous version to quit working earlier today.

Reading the "Read Me" portion of the USPS dowload. It states:
- /includes/modules/shipping/usps.php
- /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php
- /includes/templates/template_default/images/icons/shipping_usps.gif
This does not match what my file structure looks like. I do not know where to put the files?
AM I supposed to upload the whole folder or just the USPS.php?
Thnx!

Whether your main site is under /store, /test, or whatever; that becomes you "root" of you site. That root should include folders like docs, download, editors, images, and inclcudes.

As the instructions say, load the two folders into the root for an initial install.

There are other options if you have an older version installed.

lat9 always has excellent instructions and they are in the readme.txt included with this mod.
