ozpost shipping module

I've just upgraded to v 2.0.6 but on testing its only producing Flat Rate estimates.
In the attached screenshot of the table generated by the debugger I see two columns; one devoted to Item, the other devoted to Parcel info.
The Item column is missing the weight, whereas the parcel column has it so I'm guessing the error that prevents the estimate from displaying is down to this missing weight. Trouble is, I can't find the offending location to update. I've checked the weight on each product page and each is correctly filled in. Where do I add an item weight if its not the product page?

Correct.

Trouble is, I can't find the offending location to update. I've checked the weight on each product page and each is correctly filled in

Sorry, I'm confused and not sure exactly what you are asking. What do you mean by "each product page" and what do you consider to be 'correctly filled in'?

Where do I add an item weight if its not the product page?

The only place to add/edit product weights is via the /admin/catalog/categoriesProducts editor, where it has always been. <extremely puzzled look>

Trouble is, I can't find the offending location to update. I've checked the weight on each product page and each is correctly filled in

If I assume that you are referring to the correct page (and I really can't imagine where you are looking if not), then what you consider to be 'correctly filled' simply cannot be the case. Given your example, the total parcel weight sent to the server for quoting weight a mere 0.28gm, (clearly shown on your screen capture)

A single sheet of A4 paper weights ~5gm. What are you mailing? A postage stamp without the envelope?

Good on ya Rod. You hit the mail on the head!

I had indeed specified my product weights in gms and the ozpost in kgs. Too easy to do when the measurement system isn't mentioned anywhere near where the values are entered.

BTW I ship those pesky charts in tubes (you know, multiple products in one tube, multiple tubes in one delivery) as well as big flatpacks that really screw your packaging algorithm around

I just found your module but am getting an error when I try to enable it.

1054 Unknown column 'NONE' in 'field list'
in:
[insert into configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) VALUES ('Dispatch Postcode', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_SPCODE', NONE, 'Dispatch Postcode?', '6', '2', now())]

First question... What version of ozpost are you using? (please let me know, even though the following suggestion will probably fix this issue for you).

Suggestion for probable fix:

Go to your configuration settings -> shipping/packaging and set your Postal Code.

Then try installing the ozpost module again.

The error you are getting *shouldn't* be happening, because if the postcode isn't set the module should be using a default value of "9999" .. for some reason it appears that you don't have a valid postcode set, and the module isn't correctly detecting this fact, so it is trying to set a value of 'NONE' in a place where NONE isn't allowed.

This was a 'bug' that I noticed in the code a few versions back, which is why I added code to set a default value if the postcode wasn't already set, which is why I'm interested in know what version you are using.. If the current version then I need to take another look at the code, if an older version then I don't need to worry about it any longer.

If you can think of (or provide) a better/alternative solution (preferably something that won't screw things for everyone else) I'm listening.

Hi Rod,

We've been running v1.0.2 for about 12 months with no problems, it's a great module. I've just noticed that for about the past week our orders specifying Australia Post for delivery have been reverting to the Flat Rate on Error price. Is there a server down somewhere or should we be upgrading to v2.0.6?

Thanks,
Warren

Hi Rod,

I've been using the new ozpost module, with fastway activated. Seem to be working well, however it has charged a customer in WA an incorrect price. Going to PO 6713. It quoted $6.90. Should of been closer to $40. order would of been around 7-8kg.

I went to the fastway website, and plugged in Melbourne to 6713 with 7kg, and price came up as $52.80.
