ozpost shipping module

Attachment 7353

Hi Folks,

Attached to this post is a zip file containing the latest ozpost module. (ozpost2.0.3,zip)

As with previous update postings into the forum this is not a complete distribution file set. It only contains the two files required to upgrade an existing installation.

As well as bugfixes, this new update introduces support for TNT and FastWay Courier quotes.

I still have a little more work to do with some of the cosmetic aspects of this upgrade, but the basic functionality seems quite stable so I figured I'd let you guys n gals have a chance to try it out before I package it up and upload it to the downloads area.

Please let me know of any problems or errors that you may find.

Cheers
Rod

Hi Rod,

I have installed this ozpost V2.0.3 over my existing version of the latest ozpost.

I have noticed that in admin there are couple of (5) empty text boxes under the 'Express Courier International Merchandise ' and just above the Handling Fee - Letters.


There are also empty text boxes under 'Handling Fee - ECI Merchandise
Handling Fee - ECI Merchandise.'

What are they for?? there are no text between or next to them . They are just blank text boxes.

I will need to use OzPost for "rest of world". I might just use Table Rates (for US zone definition only) rather than UPS. And I was thinking that if I leave OzPost as is, it will still come up as an option for US customers but the charge will be so much higher that they won't select it (unless they're really silly, then let them pay!)

Click on the 'uninstall' button and then the 'install' button. This will force the database tables to get updated with the 'missing' information (I hope).

Hi Rod,

I have been running your original Ozzy Post module.
Now, I have installed your new ozpost V2.0.4.

It seems that both are still treated as 2 distinct modules.
If I only enabled the Ozpost V2.0.4 then it didn't process any results.
However if both are enabled then I get results.
I suspect that the new V2.0.4 is not actually being used even though it is active.

Do I require both modules to be active ?
Is the new V2.0.4 dependant on the old ozzy post module ?

Hi Rod,

I have been running your original Ozzy Post module.

First things first, what do you consider to be the "original Ozzy Post" ?

A LOT of people confuse the "AustPost" module with the "ozpost" module.
These are two entirely separate/different modules.
The "AustPost" module(s) are now long obsolete and cannot produce accurate quotes. This line of modules has been removed from the zencart downloads for this reason.

Now, I have installed your new ozpost V2.0.4.

This version still hasn't been "officially" released. The .zip file found in the forum is 'incomplete' and requires ozpost.v1.0.2 (from the downloads section) to be installed in order to function.

It seems that both are still treated as 2 distinct modules.

This suggests to me that you are mixing/confusing the "AustPost" module with the 'ozpost' module. They ARE 2 distinct modules.

Do I require both modules to be active ?

No, but there was a period of about 6-12 months when both the AustPost and the ozpost modules could be active at the same time, each producing their own set of quotes. (Great for testing/debugging, but very confusing for customers).

Is the new V2.0.4 dependant on the old ozzy post module ?

The V2.0.4.zip available in the forum is dependant on ozpost.v1.0.2 which is available in the downloads section. The 2 files contained in the V2.0.4.zip are drop-in replacements for the similalrly named files found in v1.0.2

G'day Folks,

Just a short post to let you know that I've just uploaded the latest ozpost module to the downloads section. ozpost_v2.0.5.zip

It'll probably take a week or so before the devs check and release it, so UNTIL this time, for those that simply can't wait, you can currently download it from here

Feedback and bug reports welcome :-)

Cheers
Rod

Hi Rod,

We used your latest ozpost version on v1.3.9, we got this error:

Unexpected error. No valid method. Using static rates.

The above error only shows up when we used Australian shipping address, but no issue on international address.

Here is my client store (on a testing sub folder, not live store):

http://www.outdoorking.com/teststore

Could you please let us know what is causing this issue?
