ozpost shipping module

[vandiermen]

Hi Rod,

Current OzPost versions have a display problem during checkout. I have tested 1.3.9h and 1.5.1 etc. see screenshot links below. I fixed this once, now I forget how I fixed it (something in the checkout_shipping template), can you offer any quick fix for me.

I am using the Ozpost module to calculate my shipping. I would like to offer free standard shipping on all orders over a certain amount. And still have the option to choose Express Post if they are in a hurry.
I can see how you can do free shipping in the Order Total section but this offers no other shipping options.
Is this option possible?

Worked it out by using the freeshipping options instead. Would really like to discount the Express Post option if they are entitled to free shipping though and not show the standard shipping option.

Glad you figured it out. Off the top of my head I didn't have a solution to your problem.

This would only be possible by modifying the ozpost code. I don't think it'd be too difficult to do. The 'hard' part would be adding the checks needed to determine if a discounted rate is applicable for any given order. The ozpost code itself (V3.5.4+) already contains code that applies discount rates for the bulk purchase of prepaid satchels so this can be copied/modified so discounts can be applied to the various express post methods.

Example:

  if ((in_array("500g Express Satchel", $this->allowed_methods)) && ($quote->id == "PPSE5")) {
                        $handlingFee = MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_PPSE_HANDLING;
                            if (defined('PPSE5_description')) $quote->description = PPSE5_description; 
                            if ( MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_AP_DISCOUNT1E == '1') { 
                                    $quote->cost = (float)$quote->cost - ((float)$quote->cost * 0.05 ); } 
                             elseif (MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_AP_DISCOUNT1E == '2') {
                                  $quote->cost =  (float)$quote->cost - ((float)$quote->cost * 0.125) ;  }
                            elseif (ADD YOUR CHECK HERE) {
                                  $quote->cost =  (ADD YOUR REQUIRED COST OR FORMULA HERE)   ;  }

This example is for the 500gm Express Satchels. It will need to be replicated/added for each of the other satchels and Express parcels.

Unfortunately you will need to re-do this whenever the ozpost module is upgraded.

I looked at some other websites that offer free postage beyond a certain amount and they don't seem to discount the Express Post. So maybe I won't bother either. I may just see how it goes for now.

Perhaps they don't offer it because they don't have the same kind of support that will allow them to do it.

Little things like this could give you the edge over your competitors.

Just saying.

elseif (ADD YOUR CHECK HERE) {$quote->cost = (ADD YOUR REQUIRED COST OR FORMULA HERE) ; }

The Check would be that Free Postage has been activated. The formula would be Express Postage minus Standard Postage but I am not sure what terms I need to use. Total novice at PHP.
