Canada Post module

[jeix]

I am currently running ZenCart V 1.5.6a and have been told that the version of the coding in the Canada Post Module needs updating. Since my coding skills are not current I am unable to do it and was wondering if there are plans to update and if so when might this happen.? Does anyone have a working version on ZenCart V1.5.6a that they might share?

I am running the same issue, I have one working test site, you can check it here:
http://www.chandelierparts.ca/new56a...&products_id=1

There is only one product populated as It is a testing area, I don't know how it worked, but it is.

I posted a question about this issue but didn't get any answer, you can check it at:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....86#post1355686

I will try to extract the files in the same order inside their corresponding folders and post them as soon as I can, but as I am not a coder, I don't get any responsibility.

You can try this module on a test folder.

Thanks

I had the shipping calculations working okay in 1.5.6a (php 7.2) and only got the error message mentioned above when trying to edit or create new products in the admin. Looking at the list of changed files I see that admin/incl/modules/document_general/product/collect_info.php files have been updated so going to see what code I can merge. (I'm also not a coder!)

A warning for anyone using the old sellonline profile site for shipping rates. Canada Post, for no reason, has changed settings on their end.

Before, when you selected "Add Insurance" under General Information and entered say, $100, for the insurance activation amount, Canada Post would simply add insurance for orders over 100. It would generate shipping rates for small packet air, Tracked Packet, Expedited, Xpresspost, Priority, and add insurance WHERE APPLICABLE.

So if a customer had a $200 order, it would generate rates for Small Packet Air (no insurance), Tracked Packet (maxed out insurance at $100), and add the extra ~2.25 for the Expedited, Xpresspost and Priority(maxed out insurance at $200) quotes for the extra insurance.


Now, for at least the past 2ish weeks: It seems like Canada Post will not generate rates for any service that it cannot fully insure, dropping them from any generated quotes.

For example, an order valued at $300, Canada Post will no longer display rates for Small Packet Air, Tracked Packet nor Priority, and only return rates for Expedited and Xpresspost since they're the only insurable services at $300.

I haven't tested the upper end of this, Canada Post's maximum insurance is $1000 with Xpresspost to the USA and Internationally, so maybe it'll return no shipping rates at all for large value orders...

Just received an email from one of my Merchants using SellOnline for CP quotes and they are receiving "An unknown error occured with the Canada Post shipping calculations."

Anyone else getting this when trying to retrieve Canada Post shipping quotes at the moment? Want to be sure it's not a system-wide issue before I pull the site apart.

That server's been down since the wee hours of Sunday for me, and appears to still be unreachable. I bought a module that accesses CP via SOAP, which is working just fine - that server is up & running. The SOAP server doesn't offer any Lettermail options like the SellOnline did, so I cloned Free Shipping Options & set it up with a weight restriction (which meant going through the data for all my products that don't fit in a padded envelope & assigning them an imaginary weight higher than the restriction - a bit ugly, but I can live with ugly if it works.)

Would you mind linking me to the module you purchased? I'd love to leave sellonline behind. Thanks!

Of course there's always one line of code I missed...

includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php
line 18 - replace this:
var $moduleVersion = '1.6.1';

with this:
var $moduleVersion = '1.6.5 - 20a.20d';

I've submitted a corrected version to the forum!

Thank you for updating this module.
I'm testing upgrade on my development install (WAMP) and found issue with the Lettermail Shipping.

On my production site lettermail rates only show if package is under max lettermail weight and it fits into one of the lettermail envelopes setup in my sellonline profile (height is set at 1.8cm).

In my development environment lettermail rates are showing if package is under max lettermail weight but over height to fit into lettermail envelope.

I made change in includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php to fix

change this

154     $canadapostQuote = $this->_canadapostGetQuote();
155     
156     // Twitch bugfix - add lettermail switch control
157     // orginal code    if ($this->lettermail_available && ($shipping_weight <= $this->lettermail_max_weight))
158     if (MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_STATUS == 'True' && ($shipping_weight <= $this->lettermail_max_weight))

to this

154     $canadapostQuote = $this->_canadapostGetQuote();
155     
156     // Twitch bugfix - add lettermail switch control
157     // orginal code    if ($this->lettermail_available && ($shipping_weight <= $this->lettermail_max_weight))
158     if (MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_STATUS == 'True' && lettermail_available)
