USPS Shipping Module by MarcoB - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread

[ideasgirl]

Oh Linda, I messed up.

So if I'm using Marco's module, I don't have to do any upgrade?

[Ajeh]

No I worded that really bad ... what I am trying to say is if you fully are swiching from Marco's USPS and going to USPS J5 (our version ever) ... you need to fix modules.php as Marco's version changed that file originally with references that do not exist if you switch to out USPS version ...

So that might be a clue to the bug you mentioned ...

If that is not what you are doing, switching to the Zen Cart version of USPS, then that is not or may not be 100% of your issue but could be a clue on what is the problem that you are having ...

Does that better explain the tying to that bug and Marco's USPS vs Zen Cart USPS version?

Great! Ok, I already did that....but the shipping estimator is not calculating correctly.

Is there by any chance that the patch of Marco's module still messing with that? For example I have marked that I don't want weight to show, but stills showing.

For example, if I add an article that is 10Lbs. and another that is 2x10Lbs. (20Lbs); it says that's 30Lbs, so it should calculate Priority Lg F/R $16.85 but for some weird reason is saying Md F/R $24.70 (like if I was sending 2 boxes of $12.35). Why?

Check my settings:

@IdeasGirl - The module is calculating that the items in the cart weigh too much for an FR-B, so it converts it to 2 M-F's.

I just did a test changing that max to 70# (instead of 29) and continues doing same calculation. It also continues showing the amount of pounds on cart which I already unchecked on the configuration (I just use the pounds to calculate the flat rate boxes, not for actually pounds, so I don't need them to show up).

Another thing is that is not giving the Regular Priority Mail option (30 - 70 pounds) that I set up.

Your settings indicate that you have the J5 version installed in places as well as parts of the unsupported, outdated (as of July 28) Marco module. That may or may not have an effect on your particular problem but restoring the default zencart modules.php in the admin section will remedy the yellow error message and ensure that you have the current J5 version instead of a mix.

This is the version I have installed now:
USPS United States Postal Service - Version: 2013-07-28 J5

Other than db, I don't know where. I have already upload original module.php to admin as Linda indicated.

Did the old Marco module have a bunch of other files included with it besides just the modules.php that you've been discussing? Have you put those back to original code as well?
Did you click "Remove" on all your USPS modules, before deleting their old PHP files and putting the new J5 module in place and clicking "Install"? ie: did you leave fragments of the old thing behind, that are now affecting you adversely?

Only language file in admin. It also has a sql patch as I mentioned before.

I override them with this one. The only one I didn't override is the language file of the admin.

Well, I didn't do it in that order Do I have to? Maybe here is my issue?

The only thing I can think of, is the patch for the database. The module doesn't include an uninstall patch.
