Interlink /Geopost Ship@Ease Export Module for Zen

[Calljj]

If anyone is interested i have written a file export module that can be used to create the automated files required by the Interlink/Geopost group Ship@Ease software.

If there is interest i will submit for the downloads area.

Kind Regards

Hi James, I believe that there will be interest in this, and that this too would be well worth submitting to the downloads section.

Now available to download!

As i've written in the notes, i wrote this to fulfill my needs, not the masses, but will provide a great easy starting point to go from.

Hi James,

We are really interested in using your module.

We currently use the web interface for ship@ease through Interlink Express and I was unaware there was a standalone system for this.

Did you have to request to use the standalone programme rather than the web interface?

I asked Geopost customer automation but they seemed a little vague on getiing setup with this and said we would need an engineer to come and install the software.

Long time since anyone has commented on this thread .. but

I have just installed the mod and hoping to use it with a new project ,
I have configured the shipping status to only go when its at level 2 processing . but it creates a file for an order that is still at Pending.

am I missing something ?

Thanks for any info.

Probably around line 75 in the shipease.php file

change the line

if ($statustoship <SHIP_EASE_STATUS)

to

if ($statustoship = SHIP_EASE_STATUS)

Set the number that you wish to use for creating the files, i.e 1 normally is recieved orders, 2 is processing, 3 is dispatched etc.

Hope this helps,

James

Thanks for the quick reply , gave me the hint I needed .

changed the line 75 to

if ($statustoship == SHIP_EASE_STATUS) { 

Also removed some unwanted fields , now ready to implement shi@ease THANK YOU

I wonder is anyone can help out with some php Logic Syntax ? ( php not my strong point ! )
I am having to adjust my SHip at ease output so that it does not include orders we are going to ship via royalmail .

So I have added the line

$shiptype = $orders->fields['shipping_module_code']; 

I now need to do a compare on that value .. so if $shiptype does not equal "royalmail"
thats the bit I am strugling on ...

if ($statustoship == SHIP_EASE_STATUS) and ($shiptype != "royalmail") { 

Yep my syntax sucks and it errors.

thanks.

solved it myself again !

just missing some brackets it seems ...

if (($statustoship == SHIP_EASE_STATUS) and ($shiptype != "free")) { 

so now you could export your interlink file for only certain shipping types.

Does anyone fancy re writing the export part of this mod to create the file in true CSV ?

I have made as many modifications to is as I can , but stuck on creating the true CSV format so that the ship@ease program will recognise it without me importing into excel first and then saving as CSV .

I think it could be as simple as adding in the line breaks but cant work out where to put this in .

Get in touch .
