ozpost shipping module

[nigelt74]

Hi Rod

I have taken over a site that is using this module, thay apparently purchased a $90 subscription last year, they are updating their site and changing their domain name, i can't seem to find any licensing info, or how to transfer a subscription is there something i am missing?

Hang on

Just looked in the new store and it says 51 days left

as the store name and postcode are the same it should automatically pick up the subscription?

If/when subscription details need changing you'll need to send me an email with the relevant details (or use the contact form @ http://ozpost.net/ ) . However, in MANY cases I'll spot the connections before the store owner does and will 'silently' link the old and new store expirations. This is especially true if/when the Storename and/or postcode changes are 'obvious'.

Subscriptions are based on StoreName plus postcode (domain names and/or URL's are not used at all) so if these don't change the subscriptions won't change either.

Without knowing the store you are referring to I can't comment whether the 51 days remaining is the result of the 'new' store having used 9 days of the trial, or whether it is a paid subscription with just 51 days left to go.

I'll take a look to see if I can find anything to match the little info you have given (namely, any subs that expire in 51 days) and see if I can match those with other similar named stores sometime later today. IF I can find a match the expiration days will automatically appear for the 'new' store. If you don't see this change by tomorrow you'll need to provide the name of the store(s).

Unless of course you beat me too it, and provide this info before I start hunting.

Cheers

Thanks Rob,
The storeowners been in touch with you today, wasn't sure how much info to give as i had to check with the store owner first, it was more a case I'd been reading the faqs and thought it should work, but it seemed to easy (storename and postcode staying the same), I thought there must be something else I was missing, classic case of over thinking it, I am not used to licensing being simple and sensible.

Like all good shipping modules, the ozpost module makes use of and honors the $this-enabled variable.

Hi Rod

Are the auto-updates of version 3 likely to overwrite the $this-enabled variable?

Just for the record, immediately after

$this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);

or Line 86 of includes\modules\shipping\ozpost.php, I inserted the following chunk of code:

// disable only when entire cart is free shipping
//    if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code))  $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);

// bof disable for categories in cart
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      if (($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','4') > 0) ||
          ($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','5') > 0) ||
          ($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','6') > 0))
		  {
          $this->enabled = false;
		  }
		}
/* eof disable for categories in cart*/

Is the free shipping part of the inserted code required?

Thanks

The updates will backup your original/modified file and replace it with the latest version. You will need to re-apply any changes you have made.

Is the free shipping part of the inserted code required?

If you offer free shipping on any of your products then yes, this is required to prevent shipping quotes from being needlessly displayed for said items.

Hi Rod/All,

I have recently installed Zen Cart and in the process of setting up my online store (in Aus). I have a domain which I use for testing and another domain (currently under construction) which will be the online store.

I would like to ask you the following:

How much is the ozpost module subscription? Is it payable monthly or annually?

In my case I would like to test the module first (testing domain) before installing it and fully subscribing in the live environment (online store).

Can you please let me know if I could install it on the test domain and subscibe for a month, before installing and fully subscribing on the live website (online shop) and how to go about it?

And also, can you please send me the link where i can download the latest ozpost module?

Many thanks in advance

Pete

Between $5-$10pm, depending on the length of the subscription. (1mnth - 3years)

Can you please let me know if I could install it on the test domain and subscibe for a month, before installing and fully subscribing on the live website (online shop) and how to go about it?

There is an automatic 60 day free subscription that starts from the first day the server sees a new store. There is no distinction made between a 'test' site and a 'live' site.

And also, can you please send me the link where i can download the latest ozpost module?

I enabled debugging and it came back with this so im assuming it is talking to the server.
