ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

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

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

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.

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

Yes, you should upgrade, but if you find this impractical you can make the following code changes to your V1.0.2

---------------------------------------------------------
ozpost v1.0.2 - line 338

Add:

 $HOST= str_replace(" ", "+", $HOST)  ;

Then change this:

 $qu = $this->_getAPdata($SERVER, "/postage.php?fromcode=" . MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_SPCODE ."&destcode=$dcode&weight=$parcelweight&height=$parcelheight&width=$parcelwidth&length=$parcellength&value=$ordervalue&flags=$flags&$method=$method&host=$HOST&version=$VERSION")

;

To:

 $qu = $this->_getAPdata($SERVER, "/postage.php?fromcode=" . MODULE_SHIPPING_OZPOST_SPCODE ."&destcode=$dcode&weight=$parcelweight&height=$parcelheight&width=$parcelwidth&length=$parcellength&value=$ordervalue&flags=$flags&host=$HOST&version=$VERSION") ;

Cheers

Rod, can you confirm whether you changed something in light of the new info or did something miraculous occur?

I've changed nothing.... in fact I've barely been at the computer all weekend.

I wonder if FastWay changed something?

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.

Can this be replicated? URL please.

Hi Rod

Okay, well I presume so then as I haven't changed anything on my end either. ;-) Glad to see the new quotes. :-)

Hi Rod,
I'm following this message up so that you know how it all went. The TNT stuff was a pain to sort out as you had indicated.

I can confirm here that the 'Rated Transit Times' service requires the acount to be created at 'TNT Online' and that it requires a phone call to the CIT Helpdesk on 1300 851 131 for the service be enabled for the account.

That should help others get it happening.

Kind regards,
Rob

Hi Rob

Thanks for this info. I just received my TNT account number today and welcomed your instructions above.

CIT Helpdesk advised 24-48 hrs for RTT to be enabled. Looking forward to seeing their quotes.

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me please.
I am totally stumped.

I have a fresh install of Zencart (latest version).
The lastest ozpost shipping module installed.

I went to do a test order but i get the message "not shipping to this destination at this time" (or something like that)....

I realised then I didn't have the Fixed Cost prices in - it was blank.
So I fixed this and now I come up with a "flat rate" of $7.00.

I do not have any other shipping module installed.

I do not have free shipping products etc.

I have the weight and dimensions in the products.

I have re-installed the ozpost module etc but I still come up with the same.

PLEASE help.
Kind Regards Casey
