usps.com Click-n-ship AutoFill Button Contrib

[qhome]

Thank you for this contrib.

I am seeeing two issues, which hopefully are just minor things:

1. The Full Name of the Return Address is not carrying over to the usps form. When I looked at the usps_autofill_button.php file, I noticed that there are two nearly identical lines referencing FullName:

and I am supposing that I need to experiment with these values a bit.

Not sure I understand what you mean. One is full name, one is company name. Both can be setup in the usps configuration area. Both are working fine for me. Remember you have to set these up in the usps configuration area (as the readme file states).

2. The application does what it sets out to do via Opera, but I have discovered that the Order Details page is affected in a negative way. After the shipping country, the screen displays this:

In Safari and Firefox, the screen fills up completely with states, countries, and more output.

...I'm wondering if others have seen this with this newest version?

Where are you seeing that order detail stuff? it should load in its own window and the zen-cart order details page shouldn't change at all. Also note at the top of the readme file that Firefox is NOT supported. I'm not even sure how you get it to fill up with anything, as it just throws a javascript error for me.

It works fine however in IE6/7 and Opera.

Hello,

Yes, I did set the various details (company name, return address, etc) up in the configuration area (Configuration --> USPS Auto-Fill Config.) .. BUT after your reply I re-checked and realized that I left the Full Name field blank intentionally because the shop I am dealing with doesn't use a person's name as part of their return address. When I clicked on the auto-fill, The USPS showed an error message, since Full Name is apparently a required field. Since Company is not, I will go ahead and put the Company Name in the Full Name field, and leave the Company Name Field blank. Seems an easy enough workaround.

You are correct that the actual contrib does work in Opera, just as you state, and not in Firefox or Safari.

What I am describing is what I see when I try to actually view the order details from within the admin control panel of ZenCart. It seems that the word "States" in United States at the end of the Shipping Address has something to do with the results I am seeing, which are different whether I look at the order details in Opera (where they are exactly as I posted) or whether I look in Firefox or Safari (where the output fills the screen with state names and country names and then finishes with the output I quoted.

One more thing:

The setup file said there would be 16 fields to customize in the USPS config area. I have 17. Two are address lines (Address line 1 and Address line 2). Is that correct?

Thank you,

Ya sry. I added the last line at the last second to add the insurance value. I've checked the order details in FF, Opera, IE and they all look the same to me. Right after the word States should only be the button that says "USPS Auto-fill". Maybe it's a Macintosh thing?

No problem.

It's working at the moment! Previously loaded orders are still wacky, but the test order I just put in is displaying a fully formed order details page.

Again, thank you for this contrib.

My best,

qhome...thanks again for this time saving mod, and for adding the support for the backslash, which I truly need in my co. name.

Was wondering, if programtically possible, to add a USPS account name/ID and password to the mod configuration, then when after clicking the auto-fill button, all is filled in and you're already logged in, rather than waiting until selecting a shipping method, then having to log in. Those w/o USPS accounts can leave the config items for ID and PW blank, and it would perform as normal.

Just a thought to save a couple of steps, again, don't know the workings of the API to perform it...

Thanks again....

Unfortunately no. I can only manipulate the initial form page, which is basically a hack of making the usps.com site think you entered bad information on their page and forces it to reload with all your correct data pre-filled. After that you are on the actual usps.com server and my javascript that comes from the contrib has no other control on any other pages. So I can only do it to that one page. Unless we all beg USPS to put everything on one page.

Thanks for this great module. I managed to make it work in Firefox. Here is what I did:

In usps_autofill_button.php, move all the "document.write" statements except the last submit() out of ParseIt() function to the end of the file. Then change all these "document.write" lines to direct HTML code, i.e., remove "document.write". After this everything works under FF.
