FedEx Shipping Labels

[jswarts]

Hi Merlin and Ladysaat,

apparantly I have been having huge server issues. I just got a bunch of undeliverable messages fro the past two weeks dumped in my inbox. I am resending to you both. Please, please let me know if you get it.

[ladysaat]

Okay I think I have both the things I need. I'm going to install one first then work on installing yours. I am not a coder so I have to read your instructions super carefully and know exactly where I'm putting stuff LOL! But as soon as I do then I will test a few things and let you know how it goes. I believe I need to call fed ex as well and make sure I'm on the right servers or something. I am trying to remember what the .txt file in merlin's said. But I will post as soon as I do something. I'm installing right now though so should be in about an hour (if my little ones STAY asleep LOL!)

if you are using 1.3 you do not need to use fedex identity,
and fedex dosnt have a test server,
its ALL on the production server

Really? They added me to the test server 6 weeks ago. I had to make specific labels for them and mail them in so they could approve the quality of my printer.

no matter what I try, I keep getting this when I goto the edit order page:

The server address could not be found [SHIP FEDEX] button....

What server does it think it cant find?
I edited the fedexdc.php

If I hit the ship fedex button, it will take me to the next screen with the same error at the very top/left.
If I hit the submit button from this screen, I get:
Could not find a FedEx account number. Is FedEx RealTime Quotes installed and configured?

If I goto to my fedex shipping module, I do see the fedex account and meter #s for Fedex Express and Ground.

Jennifer,

Does this mod supports the Fedex COD option? I didn't see anything saying that I could ship via fedex cod. If it doesn't, would it be too difficult to add this feature as we ship alot of fedex cod orders.

HI Jason,

It sounds like the server isn't answering for you. Have you contacted FedEx? When I was first testing this, I was able to contact the server, the regular production server. The next day, no joy. I got the same message. I contacted FedEx and they added my account to the test server. I've had no problems since then. I am not using this to actually ship packages yet. Still testing.

In admin/includes/fedexdc.php, what do you have on lines 19 and 20?

I will look at the cod. Shouldn't be a big deal.

[jasbor]

Line 19 & 20:

$server = 'test'; // which fedex server to use: test or production
$request_referer = 'ourdomainname.com'; // base url for site, e.g.: 'yoursite.com'

Line 71-78

// check for test or production gateway
if ($server == 'test') {
define('FEDEX_URI', 'https://gatewaybeta.fedex.com:443/GatewayDC', true);
define('FEDEX_HOST', 'gatewaybeta.fedex.com', true);
}
elseif ($server == 'production') {
define('FEDEX_URI', 'https://gatewaybeta.fedex.com:443/GatewayDC', true);
define('FEDEX_HOST', 'gatewaybeta.fedex.com', true);

We have already been added to the test server as per Fedex.

I just got off the phone with Web API support at fed ex. He said that zencart didn't show as an approved solution and therefor I probably wouldn't get access to the production server at all. I told him these mods were already approved and that we could only use these specific ones (merlin's not the labels one, is what I was talking about) He said he didn't know what to tell me. (:) So I am going to run a few test transactions and see what happens? I don't know how the module is going to pull the meter number from the server if I am not allowed access? They don't sound like they know what they are doing... LOL.. I'm going to have a go at it now... post in a bit..


ETA: I got a quote for ground... but says no meter number for express? Very strange as both are set to production servers and I have not added Ground to my account. LOL.

[ladysaat]

Okay so I called back. He said he was going to add me to the test server. I asked why the meter number wasn't being grabbed and he said I needed to do some kind of call? Not a phone call but some kind of subscription request? He said I should've gotten the meter number even though I wasn't on the test server yet. It was greek to me... What did you guys do to get it? Did yours just pop up as soon as you did a test transaction or something. I know I followed the instructions when I installed it and and filled in everything I needed.
