ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

Hi Rod - thanks for your comments. Actually, Zencart will install without CURL, no hoops or sidesteps. I've done it many times.

As have I in the past... but not with the latest 1.3.9 releases.

I do appreciate your comments in a later post suggesting a work around to solve the install issue.

Hopefully it went OK?
I also appreciate the report, because it has highlighted yet another thing that can go wrong (and a scenario I hadn't tried/considered) that can easily be avoided in future updates.

FRANK. Your comments indicate you like to "Categorize People".

I don't think Frank was really having a dig at you .... We've been having a bit of a 'laugh' at the goings on in another thread recently, and his comment was more of an 'in' joke.

If you actually read the text in the popup, it advised that some payment & shipping modules require CURL to talk to to there respective servers to get real-time quotes and payment authorizations - there is no mention of installation issues,

Until now there probably haven't been any installation issues as a result of this, and I wouldn't be expecting the zencart team to update this text on the basis of one 3rd party module. It really is for me to handle the problem in a much more userfreindly manner.

and as I haven't had any installations issues with earlier versions of the ozpost module, I personally had no issue asking for advise in this instance.

As always, I'm happy to answer any question, no matter what skill level or experience a user has. The code has gone through many changes over the years new things have been added, others have been dropped and others have simply changed the way it 'works'.

It is always good when people are able to solve problems out for themselves, but it is even better if I'm made aware of such problems so I can take steps to avoid or mitigate them for the benefit of others. This being one such example.

Cheers
Rod
