Orders processing allthough overweight? AusPost

[blind1]

I have set the maximum shipping weight to 20kg in admin and all weights have been added to the site, however the orders are processing through the Aust Post mod with not enough shipping cost and accepting oders for items that are over weight.

I thought zencart would stop the order with a call for price or something?
Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?

The Maximum weight is the Maximum per box ... this does not stop an order from processing it mearly splits the weight into boxes ...

Hi Ajeh
So how do i stop it doing that for items that exceed Australia Post weight or length. Aust Post wont deliver over 20kg and some of the products are heavier or too long which reguires a quote for shipping another way.

You'll have to alter the code in the module to detect the over-max-weight situation and therefore disable the module.

Something like this:

if ($_SESSION['cart']->weight > 20) $this->enabled = false;

The Austpost module has been coded so that it should never exceed the limits placed by Aust Post. If it is fed a parcel weight >20kgs it will disable itself. No need for you to do anything.

If this isn't true for you then I can only guess that it is another incompatibilty with your 1.3.6 install and the module that was written for 1.3.7

Hi Rod
I guess that it isn't compatible then. Doh!
Just when I thought I had finished I have to start again
