ozpost shipping module

[LowlyWorm]

I've installed the two new files, uninstalled and reinstalled the module (also double checked previous default parameter was removed) and all is looking good on initial inspection i.e. I didn't see any errors etc. I haven't given it a real good bash yet but registered international parcels are certainly there now, great!

Interestingly though, I did notice that it was listing "Express Parcel International" even when it wasn't enabled in the admin section. I tried enabling it and disabling it but shows up either way. Insured Express Parcel International only shows when enabled though. Again, I haven't given it a very thorough work out though, I can have a better look tomorrow.

Excellent news. :-)

Thanks. I've just had a look at the EPI showing all the time, and can confirm that it's a bug. I've already taken care of it.

I'll await for any further feedback before I zip the whole thing up again.

Cheers

Hi,

I just downloaded the new version of OzPost...

There are no files (or directory) for includes/languages/english etc in the zip file I downloaded, so when I installed it I got errors complaining that the files don't exist....

Is there something missing in the download area, or did mine just not download properly?

Thanks for your great work to provide this module, it has saved me many days of work....

Hi Nerida,
There is a new version being tested with some fixes Rod has added in, which will no doubt be available soon.

As David has said, a new update is currently being tested that takes care of this (and a couple of other problems). It should be available in a few days.

Meanwhile, if you you can't wait that long, AND you are running your server on a LINUX based system you should be able to get things working by creating an empty file in the languages directory called 'ozpost.php'.

Please be advised though that there are a couple of other bugs that may or may not affect you, eg, the 'kg/gms' setting doesn't work (it is 'stuck' on gms), and one of the overseas shipping methods is stuck in the 'on' position.

Cheers

Thanks Rod,

I will wait for now, as we are only in the setup phase for our shopping cart with products.

Great to know you are making progress...

cheers,
Nerida.

Hi There,

Great work on the shipping module !!

I have it installed & operational.

The items in my shop are quite large & I am having problems if shipping more than 1 item as the combined total of all items exceeds the OzPost maximium. It seems it doesn't see the items as being seperate boxes and adds ALL together for 1 global package.
I can not seem to find any facility in your Module or Zencart to split the shipping of the items to be indiviually boxed, packaged.

Using latest Zen & also your module.

Is there a script hack to enable this or is it a core rewrite for the next version ?

Regards
Matt

This particular module currently has no means of splitting parcels that exceed to 20kg limit.

I do plan on re-adding this functionality in a later update, but I can't give an estimate of when this will be.

Until I do so, you might want to consider using the older 'AustPost Improved' module (which honours the zen-cart 'maximum shipping weight' setting and provides a quote on multiple parcels.

The primary reason for wanting to redo this part of the code in 'ozpost' is because the zen-cart method used in the AustPost Improved module has no means of taking the parcel size into consideration, which depending on the products size/weight ratio would often cause significant quotation errors (at best), and would often divide parcels in impossible ways (at worst).

In other words, even though the AustPost Improved module may be better for your needs at the moment, it does come with an element of risk that you will need to closely monitor for such errors.

There is nothing missing from the file in the download directory. (I just downloaded and checked). I'm going to take a punt and suggest that your download is/was ok, but when you extracted the files you didn't have your unzip program extract the directorys, so all files ended up in the top level directory where you extracted too.
