Canada Post module

[carley]

Hello Everyone,

Carley got her Canada Post working. Well done!

I did indeed get it working & I'm so happy about it! I forgot to post here after PMing you about getting it working Royal, sorry about that!

Now i just have to get a ton of other modules taken care of (waiting to hear back from a company that makes some of them - they said they can try to let me know if any of them will cause issues or "not co-operate" with any of the others before i try installing them) and then my stores cart will be ready to go Live!
I'm so excited, it's taken a long time to get to this point, even though I really don't have all that much done LOL

Royal - can you build in a simple (well ok I call it simple - maybe it isn't) security feature for the the shipping module?

Here's my idea -

Once the module is installed there is, like other modules - items for Name / Password or the site you need to connect to.

i.e. Module talks to Canada Post

User name - Tony
Password - Spumoni

Now this isn't and issue if you are a single person running your own store BUT if you have extra admins - can they also see this info?

Can we make the side panel in the admin section look like:

User Name - Tony
Password - *******

That way, if you get a disgruntled admin - and they want to change everything before they quit - they can't because you have already limited their acces to information.

It also keeps you from having to change all of your passwords on those other sites everytime an admin quits.

Is this an easy fix or add on?

Hello janissaire,

Not exactly what you looking for. But it might work admin control.

Have you tried this: Admin Profiles add-in: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=86

Easy Pop is great for those who have a lot of items in their store - I'm currently using it - the only drawback to it, that I can see, is that I have to go into each of my products via the catalogue and set the size wieght dimensions manually = very time consuming

Thanks also for the module re admins - it's a good thing to know about

Here is SQL you can use to update the Lettermail Rates for 2011

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:0.59, 0.050:1.03, 0.100:1.25, 0.200:2.06, 0.300:2.85, 0.400:3.25, 0.500:3.50" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN";

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:1.03, 0.050:1.25, 0.100:2.06, 0.200:3.60, 0.500:7.20" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA";

update `configuration` set configuration_value = "0.030:1.75, 0.050:2.50, 0.100:4.10, 0.200:7.20, 0.500:14.40" where configuration_key = "MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL";

Also ensure you setup "Lettermail" in your sellonline account as per instructions in an earlier post.

lettermail for shipments inside Canada has disappeared. was working fine.
client does not offer lettermail for USA ,International destinations.
Have reinstalled the module and no difference.
suggestions please?

[usr50]

Since I can't bring back CPC Lettermail I have resorted to adding the use of zone rates to ensure proper shipping rates for items weighing in at under .500 g
maybe CPC Lettermail doesn't feel like showing up at the moment.
Frustrating when product is in that weight category.

Zen Cart doesn't "suddenly" turn off options that were once working.
Have you asked CPC why lettermail is not offered for your packages suddenly? It would be best to ask *them* about it directly.
