AustPost Mod. - Delivery Time Lookup 4 Satchels Too

[hayden]

Just a quick post to shom all you out there a mod i made to the base austpost.php file. As i noticed, standard 'out of the box' it only applies Delivery Time lookup data to parcels, and usues predefined numbers for satchel delivery times... this doesnt make sense as a 3kg satchel isn't going to be delivered any different to a 3kg parcel, and the same could be said for express...

also there isnt a flat delivery time for satchels as opposed to parcels ... they both depend on sender's and reciever's codes ...

so hopefully this gets noticed and integrated into the official release as it seems a very easy and obvious fix...

backup b4 replace, the original is included too, as well as a patch generated by Winmerge,(though it is the first ive made, im not sure if it works, the patch that is...)

you'll also see i removed the difference in delivery time for REG, COD, RPPi, as they too should be delivered no slower...

you'll also see i removed the difference in delivery time for REG, COD, RPPi, as they too should be delivered no slower...

In my very extensive experience, REG'd, COD's and insured parcels typically take a day longer to deliver than regular parcels, which is why that offset was added in the first place.

ok, you're prob right, i will revert that bit, correct my lost and attachment, thankyou.

i cant seem to edit the original post so here is the new one :


Just a quick post to shom all you out there a mod i made to the base austpost.php file. As i noticed, standard 'out of the box' it only applies Delivery Time lookup data to parcels, and usues predefined numbers for satchel delivery times... this doesnt make sense as a 3kg satchel isn't going to be delivered any different to a 3kg parcel, and the same could be said for express...

also there isnt a flat delivery time for satchels as opposed to parcels ... they both depend on sender's and reciever's codes ...

so hopefully this gets noticed and integrated into the official release as it seems a very easy and obvious fix...

backup b4 replace, the original is included too, as well as a patch generated by Winmerge,(though it is the first ive made, im not sure if it works, the patch that is...)

it only applies Delivery Time lookup data to parcels, and usues predefined numbers for satchel delivery times... this doesnt make sense

Unless I'm mistaken, it makes a whole lot more sense than what you have done.

so hopefully this gets noticed and integrated into the official release as it seems a very easy and obvious fix...

Appearances can be deceiving.

Unless I'm mistaken (please correct me if I am), but the 'core' of your changes revolve around....

< $days = 4 + MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_DOFFSET ;
> $days = $days + MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSTPOST_DOFFSET ;

I cannot seem to find where you are actually initialising the $days variable. How does this work?

the $days variable comes from austpost lookup data , so my mod utilises that info currently collected and applied to the parcel and letter estimates, but for some reason not to satchels (rather opting for preset values independant of postcode which makes no sense and wastes the lookup data... )

I hate to tell you this Hayden, but if you take a closer look at the code you'll find that the $days variable doesn't come from the lookup data, at least not at the point in the code where you've made your assumption that it does.
I'm actually surprised that it is giving you consistantly valid results at all (although I'm sure there will be an explanation as to why it does appear to do so).

if you actually took the time to look a little closer you would see i moved the pre-paid satchel code block into the part of the php script where the $days value still contains the data recieved from the austpost servers ...

"Time" is something I don't seem to have a lot of lately.
I don't mean to make you beat your head against the wall. I just get a wee bit concerned when 'strangers' take my 'baby' out for a walk, especially when it has the potential to cause me support issues.

It seems as though its in good hands though

i'll take this as an acknowledgement of my improvement .. ?

my 'baby'

i was under the impression you'd just modded some else's proj,thus the 'improved' suffix ...

out for a walk

welcome to open source :)

i will agree on the time issue, though one has to not let themselves become to much a victim to anothers constructs ;p
