AUSTPost module

[RodG]

Hi Rod
Is there a way to turn off "x days estimated delivery time"?
Because I order my products from America as they are ordered through my site, I often get people expecting delivery in 1-2 days when in fact the Aust Post module only comes in to play once I have received goods and post them in Australia.

There isn't any switches or toggles to disable this display, but it wouldn't be too difficult to modify the code so that it doesn't display.

How comfortable are you with modifying code?

Cheers

Hi Rod,
Me again it seems I have some sort of error when customers are checking out now it comes up saying
ERROR:Unable to obtain a valid quote from the Australia Post Server.
You may still checkout using this method and we will contact you

but the server doesn't seem to be down
could this be related to the other issue of not being able to offer regular postage even though it has been selected

OK. Load the austpost.php file into a text editor (make sure you have a backup first).
Do a word search for "_method" (there are quite a few of them).
Ignore anything that matches "allowed_method"
The lines you are interested in will look similar to:
----------------------
$shipping_austpost_rpp_method = zen_image($this->icon_rpp, $this->types['RPP'] ) . $bignumber . $days . "</span> " . zen_image($this->icon_del, MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_TEXT_SHIPPINGDAYS) . $austpost_rpp_addons;

$shipping_austpost_rppi_method = zen_image($this->icon_ins, $this->types['RPPi']) . $bignumber . ($days + 1) . "</span> " . zen_image($this->icon_del, MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_TEXT_SHIPPINGDAYS) . $austpost_rppi_addons;

$shipping_austpost_reg_method = zen_image($this->icon_reg, $this->types['REG'] ) . $bignumber . ($days + 1) . "</span> " . zen_image($this->icon_del, MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_TEXT_SHIPPINGDAYS) . $austpost_reg_addons;

$shipping_austpost_cod_method = zen_image($this->icon_cod, $this->types['COD'] ) . $bignumber . ($days + 2) . "</span> " . zen_image($this->icon_del, MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_TEXT_SHIPPINGDAYS) . $austpost_cod_addons;

----------------------------
You'll need to edit each of these lines to remove the data that you don't want displayed.
Using the example lines above, they will end up looking like:
----------------------
$shipping_austpost_rpp_method = zen_image($this->icon_rpp, $this->types['RPP'] ) . $austpost_rpp_addons;

$shipping_austpost_rppi_method = zen_image($this->icon_ins, $this->types['RPPi']) . $austpost_rppi_addons;

$shipping_austpost_reg_method = zen_image($this->icon_reg, $this->types['REG'] ) . $austpost_reg_addons;

$shipping_austpost_cod_method = zen_image($this->icon_cod, $this->types['COD'] ) . $austpost_cod_addons;
--------------------------------------------------

Have fun.

Hi

Thanks very much for that. Im a new to this so im sorry if this is a silly question; but in my directory i did not have a catalog file or under admin/includes i did not have a template folder so i created them; is this right?

I installed all the files but when i log into my admin store under modules/shipping, it does not show up so i must have put something in the wrong place?

Any suggestions?

Hi,
My AP module is working fine for Australian customers, however when testing international addresses that are being shipped to, i get
AustPostERROR:Unable to obtain a valid quote from the Australia Post Server.

Is there somewhere i should start looking to fix international rates or zones ?

Thanks!
