FedEx Shipping Labels

[jswarts]

I know FedEx says everything is instant, but give it a few hours and try again. Could take up to 24.

Okay I'm installing yours now. In the install.txt it says to install merlins, then run run sql_new_installs.sql. Was that supposed to be in his? or is it the SQL_install file in your SQL folder?

[jswarts]

The instructions in the labels mod only apply to installing the labels mod. All of Merlins should be installed first. Then run the sql for the labels module.

Is that clear as mud? :)

[ladysaat]

Totally! LOL No, seriously I know what your telling me.

Next question:

In your install file you have ## for customer pages (allows customers to track shipments)


then the instructions under that are for catalog/

I don't have that in my zencart stuff. I thought for a second you meant admin/ but this instruction is already listed once above for admin/:

## add to catalog/images:
##

a directory called "fedex"
chmod to 777

##


I'm not sure where to go from here.

OK for the rates there is NO production or test server.
its all the same,
you need to install and turn ON the fedex ground and express.
put in all the account information and city state etc.
it will then auto fill the meter number.

IF you are using a host such as godaddy that uses a cURL proxy then you will need to add it into the module during setup.

since we are NOT using fedex images on the rate module you DO NOT have to contact fedex,

However you do have to contact fedex and get the labels approved.

I found that the test server for the labels SUX,
print em live and remember to cancell em at the end of the day,

Okay in my admin/orders.php

The text you have in your install.txt file is NOT in my orders.php. I'm not talking about the text I have to add but this text <tr><td align="center">
<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS_INVOICE, 'oID=' . $_GET['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . zen_image_button('button_invoice.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_INVOICE) . '</a> <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS_PACKINGSLIP, 'oID=' . $_GET['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . zen_image_button('button_packingslip.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_PACKINGSLIP) . '</a> <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS, zen_get_all_get_params(array('action'))) . '">' . zen_image_button('button_back.gif', IMAGE_BACK) . '</a>';

?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">

<?php


There is some text kinda like that but different. So I don't know where to insert the extra code you want in there.

[ladysaat]

Merlin! they were turned ON I'm NEW but not THAT new.

Okay, I uninstalled and reinstalled them. It grabbed a meter number now. So that's good. Just having difficulties understanding where to add the extra code in the .php files.

Does anyone know does this MOD account for COD shipments? 99% of my orders are COD as I run a wholesale website. I appreciate your input.

Okay so I am still unable to install and test this mod. Hopefully when she comes back on she can help me figure out where that code is supposed to be inserted. I have used Dreamweaver and Crimson Text Editor, the "find and replace" tool and have not found the text she specified. I am going to dig through my zip files and find the /admin/orders.php from the V1.3.0.1 I installed first and see if it's in that one. ~shrugs~ Maybe I have a goofy file or something.

Getting Error: Could not find a FedEx account number. Is FedEx RealTime Quotes installed and configured?

When I hit the submit button to create the lable....

Any ideas?

Also, I am still getting the error message: "The server address could not be found" when I hit the edit order button prior to attempting to create the lable.

Once I get these 2 issues knocked out, I believe this mod might work for us.
