Australia Post Shipping Module 2.0

[Lance Turner]

Do you have dimensions on the products ie (products_weight [ this is built into Zen Cart]; products_height; products_width; products_length)?
If so what are they for product 1997?

The problem is not the 36 items, it's that the combined size or weight is calculated as larger than Australia Post will handle. So a valid quote is not returned.

I have a version 2.5.3 on my GitHub at https://github.com/OldNGreyBMR/aupos...ags/v2.5.3.zip
It is backwardly compatible with PHP7.

Please try it on your TEST system (NOT production). Once the files are copied over, you will need to uninstall and reinstall each module and add your API code and tax rates.

I'm pretty sure it's not a size and weight thing, the products have no sizes (there are no size fields in the product listing page anyway, and I can't see anything in the settings about an assumed volume for each product), it all goes by weight, and those weights vary but are quite small. That product is 5g, so 35 of them is just 175g. But, if you select a smaller product, such as a 5mm LED which is 0.5g, it still bombs at 36 items. Or any combination of items, regardless of weight, it's always when it hits 36.

Have you tried the latest version yet?

I have submitted Version 2.5.5 which is compatible with Zen Cart 157 to 158a with PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.2.

The following issues were corrected:
. postage girth not used for local post - changed to max volume in cubic metres
. corrected bug where GST was sometimes removed in the cart total for local post
. version number displayed in admin panel

[OldNGrey]

The Github for AuPost 2.5.5 is located at https://github.com/OldNGreyBMR/aupost
The zip file can be downloaded directly from there or wait for admin update of the plugin download page.

Ok, have set up a new shop in a subfolder, v1.5.8a, installed the module, and the issue is still there, ie if there are more than 35 items in total, the module fails and doesn't show in the cart.

Other issues: I have express and regular turned on, and the satchels turned off because I don't use them, but in the cart, it also shows the regular and express satchel options, even though they are turned off.

Also, there was some weirdness with total calcs, for example, with no admin fee added, it shows the regular small parcel as $10.90, but when I add a $1 fee, it changes to $11.60 (ie, it adds 70 cents).

Ok, worked out what's going wrong with the quantities. There is an option for "Default Parcel Dimensions", which I had set to my most common box size, but it seems the module is using those dimensions as a default product dimension, see debug grab below.



So, it was calculating a huge cubic volume. It seems the calculation is incorrect in the module.

Also, setting the Default Parcel Dimensions field to blank or 0,0,0 results in the module erroring as well, if those dimensions are not set, it should just ignore that part of the calc and just go by weight.

Interestingly, once I set the Default Parcel Dimensions to .1,.1,.1 the issue with the satchels showing when they shouldn't went away, so there seems to be some logic issues in the module as well.

Ok, an update, seems when I uploaded the new version of the module files I forgot to uninstall and then reinstall the module. Once I did that, a great many more options became available, as per the description. Only problem is, the satchel issue is still there, ie even turned off, the standard satchel and express satchel options still appear.
