Track Package from FedEx, UPS, Postal, DHL, etc..

If you don't want to show the tracking on the account history page, then don't use the account history file that comes with this mod..

Heh, heh. Sorry about that. I was was distracted when I posted that message.

What I meant to say is that I want to hide the button only for customers who are going to get deliveries and still have it available for people who are getting shipments - hence the if statement added to the link code.

Thanks for responding.

[FONT=Century Gothic]No worries.. It might help if your if statement was wrapped around the Ty Package Tracker code and not the Fedex Automated Shipping Label code.. [/FONT]

Oh good . Sorry - I saw Fed-Ex and didn't bother to make sure it was this mod's code (even though I knew it displayed the tracking code on that page).

Thanks for all your help!

I have downloaded the Ty mod in order to read all about it. However, when I open the readme file, all I get is the opening page (like a table of contents) with links such as 'Installation' and 'How to Use', but the links don't work. How do I view these?

By extracting the readme (and all the supporting files) from the zip file...

Hi,

First of all excellent module! Install was flawless but have a couple of questions which hopefully someone could answer.

We currently use Nightline (an Irish courier company) to send all our parcels and would like to integrate this with the module, but I can't find a link other than there automated service which doesn't seem to have seperate url's for the tracking input.

The url for the track and trace is http://www.nightline-delivers.com/NO...ShowQuickTrack

Second question which is related to the first, if the above is not possible then is there a way to modify the tracking module so that it does not automatically include the tracking number in the link it creates when the email is sent, that way the customer could just copy and paste the tracking number into the relevant place on the link provided?

Would be grateful of any help!

Unless another community member knows the answer to this you might have to ask the carrier if they have a tracking URL that you could use.. I'm afraid I don't know anything about this carrier to help..

I'm sure there is a way to modify this mod accordingly, but I have no real clue as to what changes would be needed.. But why modify this mod at all.. If you are going to just manually send the carrier URL and the tracking number, why not simply use the order comments features already built into Zen Cart to send this information..

I have sent the IT department an email requesting this, just wasn't sure if there was some way of building a link from the code on the site, I have tried but my limited experience with these things shows!

Up until installing this mod it was a chore because I had to manually type in the tracking details and the link to the website etc but this mod does away with that, I will have a look through the files and post back the code removed/modified incase anyone else using this, (I noticed fedex uk uses a similar system without a direct URL) has a courier with no direct link to tracking info so hopefully it may be of some use.

I get where your coming from but even though its not an automatic link it makes the admin side a little less painful!

Cheers

Diva,

Thanks for your time, and yes, I've read it: "Add comments OR change the status."

What I do mostly is add tracking number AND change the status without add any comments, and I have emails sent without tracking numbers.

It seems in my case I have to add comments AND change the status. Therefore, emails sent with tracking numbers.

I'll check my installation again to see if I miss something.
(running v1.3.9h w/ v3.1)

This is how Ty Package Track has ALWAYS worked.. It will not add the tracking number to the DB unless you
A. enter a comment
or
B. change the status.

However, it will not e-mail the tracking data unless you enter a comment.

This is how this module has always worked.. though arguably the readme has never said this clearly.

When updating this mod, we simply converted over the old readme.txt file into the new HTML readme format. We made a few spelling and grammar corrections, but clearly we didn't do enough to vet out the validity of everything in the readme.. When my time permits, I'll update the readme to reflect the correct information..

Hope this is all clear now..

Diva,

Sorry to waste your time, but I'm confused now.
Do you mean "A. enter a comment" is required to email tracking data?

'Cause If I choose "B. change the status." only (leave comment blank), it won't email tracking data.

I'm fine if I have to type comments every time, and just wanna make sure I don't misunderstand what you mean.

.........

Just submitted v3.1.1

Fixed a few of the reported errors that slipped into the last submission.. Sorry for the problems.. Seems I zipped up the wrong version of the fileset and left some things in place that weren't supposed to be in place.. My bad..

Changelog is as follows:

version 3.1.1 - 03/07/2011

• Minor corrections to the orders.php file so that tracking data is sent when only the status is changed but no comments are entered.
  (Discovered that code from Zen Cart v1.3.8 was left in place inadvertently in the orders.php file)
• Minor edits to the readme (correct more minor grammatic errors carried over from original readme)
• Deprecated the /YOUR_ADMIN_FOLDER/includes/functions/extra_functions/common_orders_functions.php file
  (PLEASE NOTE: If you are running Super Orders v3.0.x or Edit Orders 3.0.x DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE as it is still needed by these modules. If you are NOT running Super Orders v3.0.x or Edit Orders 3.0.x you may SAFELY remove this file as it is NO LONGER USED by Ty Package Tracker v3.1.1)

Diva I need a little help when you can get around to it. I have the same problems as some of the others on here have had with no tracking numbers being included in the email when it is sent out. I didn't realize it until today. It started believe it or not around the same time I upgraded 12/27/10. How in the world I miss that I don't have a clue. I have Edit Orders 3 installed also. I have checked and rechecked all files with Beyond Compare and I don't know whats going on. Everything else is working like it should just that one little problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Email looks like this.

I beg to differ with you on the email contents. I just ran a test and entered only a status change and tracking number. No comments were entered. The email generated included the tracking number and new status.

I had "Append Comments" and "Notify Customer" checked. I'm looking at the Customer Email (not the admin email).
