USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

[lat9]

Noting that, after dropping in the new usps.php into includes/modules/shipping, the site still reports that there is a newer version.

The mod is showing k11i without the beta addition.

Yep, working on it. I've corrected the version to 2023-07-12 K11i instead of my initial messed up 2023_07_12 K11i, but the version-server request still returns the original incorrect version number.

Safe to ignore while I work with the rest of the Zen Cart team to figure out what the heck is going on.

All better, it was apparently a caching issue once I corrected the version number.

Can report that without any change to the file, the site no longer reports a newer version.

THANX

Yep. After uploading the new file and access this shipping module page I get an upgrade confirmation:

The USPS shipping module was automatically updated to v2023-07-12 K11i.

Thanks @lat9

If anyone has a fix for 1.5.4, please post it. Yes, I need to upgrade, but at the moment my customers cannot checkout.

The K11i version might work on Zen Cart 1.5.4, as long as you're running a PHP version 5.6 or later.

Now released, 2023-07-12 K11i (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292)

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#34, #37: Additional notifications for site-specific customizations.
#35: PHP Warning when MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TRANSIT_TIME_CALCULATION_MODE is set to OLD
#36: Remove problematic automatic updates when service names/methods change.
#38: Add support for USPS Ground Advantage and HAZMAT changes.
#39: Correct quotes for international countries for which only one service is available.
#40: Correct processing for "Priority Mail Express International"; quotes weren't being returned.

On an upgrade, if you were an early-adopter of version 2023-07-05 K11i-beta1, an upgrade to 2023-07-12 K11i will be automatic. Otherwise, you'll need to capture the current module's settings, "Remove", re-"Install" and re-apply the previous settings!

Hi lat9,

Not sure if this is related.
I have two shopping carts and I am having issues with international customers upon updating to 2023-07-05 K11i
Im assuming this maybe an an issue with PHP 7 for the Priority Mail Express International option? if so, can it be back ported for compatibility?
GXG does not show up for the customer for either carts. See below or configuration summary.

Thanks

Cart 1:
Zen Cart 1.5.5f
PHP Version: 7.1.33 (dependencies prevents me from upgrading this cart)
Check out Step 1 of 3 shows "View Shipping Regulations"
Priority Mail International - Functional

Priority Express int and Global Exp Guar(GXG) no longer appears to international customers.
Debug log did not generate anything at all.

---

Cart 2:
Zen Cart 1.5.8a
PHP Version: 8.2.5
Check out Step 1 of 3 does NOT shows "View Shipping Regulations". (Perhaps due to bootstrap theme?)
Priority Mail International - Functional
Priority Mail Express International - Functional

GXG no longer appears to international customers.
Debug log did not generate anything at all.

This is quite embarrassing.
I had some permissions issues on cart 1, fixed it and now 2023-07-05 K11i-beta1 update works.

However, both carts now do not have GXG quotes.

I guess new plugin no longer displays shipping regulations.

I'll check out the missing GXG quotes. Note that the shipping-regulations inclusion is a "soft" setting, present in /includes/languages/modules/shipping/usps.php; it defaults to 'False'.

I had to uninstall and reinstall the USPS shipping mod. Works with USPS Version Date 2023-07-12 K11i and no missing key error. First Class has been replaced with: United States Postal Service (USPS Ground Advantage™ (4 - 7 days)) BE SURE! To write down all your settings before you uninstall.
