Canada post shipping module

[highlander]

Can someone confirm clarify or correct what has been said above for me? If I enter info into zen cart for a product as inches....it will convert it to centimeters before sending to Canada post?

Yes

If you enter lbs, it will convert it to kg and then send it to canada post.

Will the newer module work with an older version of Zen Cart? I have 1.3.0.2 and it is so heavily modified by someone who doesn't work for me anymore that upgrading is out of the question for the next few months, but it doesn't look like the existing shipping module works anymore.

Try installing 1.3.0.2 on a test site and then install the Canada Post module.

The core modifications can be quickly merged into your existing files.

I'm afraid my question got squashed out on the bottom of the previous page, hence will ask it again here :

How can I get the shipping module to use the user selected language value to communicate with the canada post server instead of a default value entered in the admin section?

I know a bit of php so any quick pointer would be greatly appreciated!

/includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php
around line 79 you have:

      $this->language = MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LANGUAGE;

change that to this:

      $this->language = (in_array(strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']), array('en', 'fr'))) ? strtolower($_SESSION['languages_code']) :MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LANGUAGE;

That will make it check whether the customer-selected language is 'en' or 'fr'. If it is, then it'll use the customer's language. If not, it'll default to whatever is selected in the admin as default.

Thank you! I confirm this works perfectly.

Hi,

I've setup the Canada Post Module, but I can't seem to find where I can enter the dimensions (length, width, height) of my products. Everything else seems to be working. My site is sending the correct weight to and from Canada Post and itis getting prices back from Canada Post, but when I create a new product (or edit an existing one) I don't see any options to add the dimensional data.

I've double checking that I have copied the files over, I have also checked the database to make sure the new data fields are present.

What am I missing?

Thanks
