ozpost shipping module

[remoteone]

Here we go again RodG,
I installed all the ozpost files in the correct locations. have double checked this.
This is the error mess I get as soon as I go to admin> modules> shipping>
This is strange since there is no file called "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/zc1/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ozpost.php" (as indicated below) in the module structure ? ozpost.php file is located in \includes\modules\shipping\ not /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ as I understand it.

Thanks

RodG,
Its also stuffed the AustPost Module.
I didnt patch the /admin/includes/modules/update_product.php file as it looked like the entries were already in there.
Not critical as its installed on the development machine.
Cheers

Just to confirm, the files under the /admin/ folder are identical for both the ozpost and AustPost modules so there is no need to re-replace them.

Cheers

Hello,
I created a blank ozpost.php in the appropriate location (/var/www/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/ozpost.php) and that solved the first one.

Next is the parameter problem "Missing argument 4 for template_func::get_template_dir()"

The method is declared in template_func.php as:

function get_template_dir($template_code, $current_template, $current_page, $template_dir, $debug=false)

But is being called in ozpost.php as

$template->get_template_dir('ozpost_del.jpg', $ipath,$ipath2)

Your old AustPost module makes the call with 4 params.. How is get_template_dir declared in your version of Zen Cart? (I have the latest version installed 1.3.8a).. If I add a default blank parameter it's happy, but that might be masking something else..

Anyway, with those fixes it seems to install correctly and works :-)

A Registered International Parcel option would be awesome (now available for parcels up to 2 kg)

Thanks for your effort in supplying this,
David

Great. I do believe we are getting somewhere :-)

Unless I'm mistaken the 'missing parameter' is supposed to be supplied by the $ipath variable. IOW, $ipath is supposed to expand to
"value1, $value2" (without the quotes), but it appears it is being seen as a single value (same data, but with quotes).

I'm not sure why it is working correctly on my system(s), perhaps it is due to a subtle difference between Linux and Windows?

As for the Registered International parcels, I'd swear blind that I'd catered for that. I guess this also warrants further investigation. On the plus side, even if it hasn't been catered for, the way this version is designed it is actually quite a trivial task to add new methods, so this WILL be supported (or fixed) in the very near future.

Quick question, where did you add the blank parameter in order to get it working? (between the two $ipaths? before them? or after them?)
Trying to save myself a little work :-)

Hi,
I made the modification to /var/www/includes/classes/template_func.php purely to see if everything else worked correctly by hiding that 4th param error.

Changed

function get_template_dir($template_code, $current_template, $current_page, $template_dir, $debug=false)

to

function get_template_dir($template_code, $current_template, $current_page, $template_dir = '', $debug=false)

I'm not a PHP coder (only started looking through it yesterday), and all this dynamic typing scares me a little compared to strongly typed lanugages which I'm used to. It seems much harder to tell what you are dealing with when you have a variable i.e. I have to look up to try and find what was assigned to it.. anyway, I'm getting side tracked about PHP!

I'm interested in what you mention about $ipath expanding, is that a feature of PHP where a variable can expand to fill more than one parameter? What type does the variable have to be?

By the way, I have the latest version of PHP5 installed (or very close to).

I'd strongly advise against changing that particular file (other than for debugging purposes). The reason being is that is one of the core zencart files and it can possibly cause lots of unforeseen problems because lots of modules, perhaps all them them will be dependent on it.
It also means it'll need to be repatched any time zencart gets an upgrade.

I could argue that if you are used to strongly typed lanquages, the PHP should be a PoP (piece of pxss) <grin>

LOL.

Actually, 'expanding' was probably a poor choice of words, and not really correct.

Suppose we needed to pass two parameters to a function, we would typically use something like:

thisfunction(valueA, valueB)

Or in a strongly typed language

thisfunction(int integerA, string stringA)

What I have done (trying to avoid retyping the same thing in several different places) is to create a 3rd variable called $ipath (for IconPath)
that concats the two paramters to be passed to the function. In other words, using the examples above
$ipath = valueA + "," + valueB

or, strongly typed, it would be:

$ipath = "int " + integerA + "," + "string" + stringA

So now when I call the function, instead of
thisfunction(int integerA, string stringA) I am simply using
thisfunction($ipath)

In *most* cases/programs this technique would be useless/pointless, but since the icon path never changes during the programs execution it seemed like a practical thing to do.
When I said 'expansion' I was implying that the function being called wouldn't be seeing "$ipath" as a single parameter, it would be recieving it as two separate values ie, valueA, comma, valueB.

This clearly works on my system(s), but for some reason or another it isn't working on yours and at least two others (all windows based)

I think I'll take the 'safe' way in fixing this one and pass the parameters in the more traditional manner rather than saving a few bytes of typing (which has now been 'wasted' in trying to sort out what the heck has gone wrong).

Live and learn. (and frustate a few people in the process).

Cheers, and thanks heaps for all the debugging. I'll try to get an updated release out in the next few days, after I've figured out what the heck happened to the registered overseas parcels.

Hi Ron,

Firstly, great module and thanks for putting it together. Wish I had the smarts you do. I have installed the module but get the following error when doing check out

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /home/fir58779/public_html/cart/includes/modules/shipping/ozpost.php on line 345

Can you suggest why pls.

If the problem occurred when trying to get a quote (as opposed to doing a checkout) I'd suggest that your ISP is using PHP4 rather than PHP5, but since it only seems to occur when checking out, I've got no idea. A conflict with another module perhaps?

Hi Rod,

Using Cpanel I noticed the PHP version is 4.4.8 Is that the version to which you refer. If so, do you have a suggestions on how to resolve the issue please?
