ozpost shipping module

[uniqueliving]

Hi Rod

Just wondering if you can help me. I have ozpost installed and i have set the error amount up but when a customer orders alot and it goes back to my error amount the customer can't use it. It wont let them past step 2 in the check out and when it does it brings up a error screen saying the webpage format is not supported do you know what this could be.

Thanks

Hi Rod,

Just a piece of assistance if you wouldn't mind.

I want to remove the bracketed delivery method that appears at step 2 of the checkout process., such as

Delivery (3Kg Prepaid Satchel) and replace it with

Delivery - Prepaid Satchel. (ie remove the brackets and the reference to the 3Kg)


Thanks,
Mike

Removing the "3kg" reference can be achieved in a similar manner that has previously been discussed.

Removing the brackets is something I can't really help with. They are not added by the ozpost module, but rather by the checkout page(s) themselves, so that is where you'll need to be looking.

Thanks Rod,

I manged to get rid of the brackets...

but the other part has got me stumped..

The earlier efforts removed the 3Kg from the shipping estimator, but I cant seem to fathom where, and in what file to edit to remove the reference from the checkout process pages.

The checkout process pages will get this data from the ozpost module.

In the places where you altered ozpost.php to remove the 3Kg from the shipping estimator I seem to recall we were modifying the $description variable, correct? If so, you'll need to add more code to modify the
$quote->description variable as well.
Don't let the funny looking name scare you .. it is just another variable that the ozpost module uses in places where icons aren't suitable.. IOW, whereas "$description" is the iconised/tabulated "prettied up" description, the $quote->description variable is the "raw text".

Thanks Rod..

if ( $quote->description == "3Kg Prepaid Satchel Express") { $quote->description = "Express Satchel" ; } straight after the other mod did the trick..

Much appreciated..

If you are interested in optimising this, both changes van be done at the same time as a result of just a single test.... eg:

if ( $quote->description == "3Kg Prepaid Satchel Express") { $quote->description = "Express Satchel" ;
$description = "Express Satchel" ;
}

Cheers
Rod.

ps. This will only improve performance by a few microseconds, so don't expect any observable difference. In isolation it isn't enough to worry about, but such optimisations repeated throughout any given code has a cumunilative effect that can be quite significant.

I'll need to check/verify this somehow.

If I don't get back to you in a day or 2 please send me a reminder :-)

Thanks for your help Rod Much appreciated.

What version of ozpost are you running? At a glance it looks like V1.0.x. The bug you have described was fixed in 1.0.4 or 1.0.6. The current version is 2.0.5
