Hi,
I have been provided some code to use for a shipping module. Which can be incorporated in Zen Carts. I am no coder and have no idea where to start.
This is the code i was given. Can someone help.

[FONT=Courier][FONT=Times New Roman]I have also been provided with Country Codes which can also be used.[/FONT]

I had a go and copyed the above code into a new file called it aust_post.php and uploaded it to
**/catalog/includes/modules/shipping/
This was a stab in the dark and didnt work :)

Thanks to anyone that can help[/FONT]

Change of plan.
I found in the modules download section, a pre-made Aust post module by Rod Gasson -- link to module http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=471

I have installed this as directed. Directly into the /ADMIN folder and i have installed the file in the CUSTOM folder in to my own template folder.

How do i see the necessary changes for this module? There is nothing in the Admin side of the webpage to give me information. So i dont know if this is working correctly or not. In the Modules/Shipping drop down there is no reference to Aust Post or its configuration.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

Tony Greenleaf

Did you go into your zen-cart admin and turn on the Australia Post Shipping Module (from the main menu, select Modules / Shipping) and make sure it's enabled (ie. has a green dot next to it).

Thanks worked it out. I had uploaded alittle incorrectly installing the catalog folder inside the catalog folder and so my setup was /catalog/catalog. Fixed it now.

Now i can play with my settings.
