USPS_patch_may14-2007b.zip

[steely]

USPS_patch_may14-2007b.zip I followed instructions in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...497#post374497
and installed the files in USPS_patch_may14-2007b.zip on the server.

As I am running Zencart vs 1.3.5, no need to edit patch, the post says.
However, when in admin /modules/shipping, the USPS entry doesn't show up at all, neither does the right panel where I would edit any of the shipping modules.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have loaded the files incorrectly or that you renamed your old usps.php to oldusps.php which a problem in a auto loading directory ...

If you rename it use the convention of:
usps.php_BAD

So that you do not have a "php" file with a duplicate class in it ...

If you loaded the files in the wrong directories, you will also get errors ...

The code belongs in:
/includes/modules/shipping

The language file with the defines belongs in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

NOTE: you should upgrade to v1.3.7 plus the current PayPal Patch at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216

That is an old version with several issues that you are running ...

Thanks for the quick response.
No, I did not load the files incorrectly.

and yes, originally I renamed the file uspsXXX.php, but I removed this file and reloaded the original usps.php and everything was as it was.
I then, deleted this original usps.php file and uploaded the USPS patch and the right column disappeared.

I deleted this USPS patch file, uploaded the original usps.php file and the right column disappeared once again. So that, now there is no USPS module.

I also did the same to another site running vs 1.3.7 with the same results.


thanks for the help.

When you downloaded the patch, what files were in it?
Where exactly did you put them when you uploaded?
What are the names of *all* the other files in each folder you uploaded to?

Thank you for your quick feedback.

The zipped file contains a folder 'includes' which yield 2 folders

1. 'languages' which contains a folder 'english' containing a folder 'modules' containing a folder 'shipping' in it a file 'usps.php'

and

2. 'modules' containing a folder 'shipping' within it a file 'usps.php'

I uploaded the file 'usps.php' in languages>english>modules>shipping to the corresponding folder on the server: languages>english>modules>shipping

and the file 'usps.php' in the modules>shipping folder to the corresponding folder on the server modules>shipping

In the admin panel under modules>shipping I do have the message
Shipping Configuration errors!
Warning: USPS shipping module is either missing the username, or it is set to TEST rather than PRODUCTION and will not work.
If you cannot retrieve USPS Shipping Quotes, contact USPS to activate your Web Tools account on their production server. 1-800-344-7779 or icustomercare AT usps DOT com

but I do not have the right column if I keep this patched usps.php file in the modules>shipping folder.

I will try this again today on the older version which is on a test site, I don't want to try it on the newer version since it is a working site.

thanks for your help, appreciate it.

your server errorlog might explain what PHP error is causing the sidebox to not be displayed.

A screen-shot of your admin modules shipping page would be helpful too ... the page w/o the sidebox showing properly

(continued)
on the server:
languages>english>modules>shipping:
folder named 'classic', then files: flat.php, freeoptions.php, freeshipper.php, item.php, perweightunit.php, storepickup.php, table.php, ups.php, usps.php, zones.php

on the server:
modules>shipping:
flat.php, freeoptions.php, freeshipper.php, item.php, perweightunit.php, storepickup.php, table.php, ups.php, usps.php, zones.php

I tried uploading the file usps.php again today to the 1.3.5 version, with the same results, right column does not appear.
I don't want to fuss with the new version since it is a working site.

thanks for the help.

The snapshot is here:

and no, I do not see any mention of an error on the server errorlog


thanks again.

it really suggests that there's a problem with how your server is reading the module file

Are you uploading the .php files as ascii or binary ?
