ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

If you are going to look at the 'days' vs 'date' toggle/flag then I will hold off upgrading (and hacking) the latest version.

The toggle has been added (server side). Needless to say, I still need to update the client software for it (probably within the next week).

I have set up so that by default the DAYS will show (as this has been the 'traditional' format). The exception being V2.1.1 with uses the DATE format by default.

Until this is added to code, it can be manually set by editing the
/includes/modules/shipping/ozpost.php file, and adding the following to the QUERY STRING "ef=0" (days format) or "ef=1" (date format).

Cheers

Rod would I be right in saying that the toggle to hide couriers if Aus post can handle it does not apply to TNT because regardless if i turn the toggle on or off I don't get TNT rates if there are Aus Post Rates. Typical example is all Alvey fishing reels on my site don't sow TNT rates only Aus Post and if you go to Tents-Canvas or Waco Fridge/Freezers you only get TNT Rates and no Aus Post because obviously these items are too big for Aus Post. Is there any trick to get TNT to come up for items along with Aus Post? I get it to show in debug mode but not when it is off. By the way thanks for your time and efforts so far.

OK I have finally had a win!! If you disable a a few Aus Post options ie regular sachels and click yes to hide parcel rates if sachel sized I now get my TNT rates for ALL products.

Ok now I have another problem if you go to my site http://superiormarinegroup.com.au/ca...products_id=49

Add this item to the cart and you will see the shipping methods change with 1 Qty then 2-3 Qty and then 4-7 Qty and again at 8. How is it that TNT is there at 2-3 Qty then disappears and comes back at 8?

Don't know. What does debug say?

It all seems to work properly when the debug is on??

Alas, in spite of all of your testing, and everything that debug provides, I still think you are *guessing* rather than *understanding*.

Remember: The SERVER provides what is POSSIBLE
Your config settings determine which of the POSSIBLE methods are ALLOWED.

The "Hide" switches affect what the server will consider POSSIBLE by triggering an 'early abort' - IOW, if letters are good enough (hide parcels) then the server won't even attempt parcel rates (including couriers). Likewise, if the serverr can get a valid AustPost Quote and the 'hide couriers' is set, then the server won;t attempt the courier rates. If NOTHING is 'hidden' then ALL quotes are returned, letters (if possible), parcels, even if they are letter sized, parcels, even if the items will fit into a satchel, and so forth.

It is no more compicated/simple than this. I haven't identified any problem with your store, and you haven't provided me with an explicit example that I can quickly verify your issue (and as implied in other messages, it is a wast of time for me to try to 'guess' what item(s) are causing a problem.

And finally, PLEASE USE THE DEBUG!!! Watch the parcel weights and dimensions, check the delivery destinations ... as these can all have an effect on the output.

Anyway.... on to your next message......

Rod could you maybe add a toggle to allow tnt shipping in all instances as it does in debug mode?

No, you will be wrong with that assumption. TNT is a courier, so if AustPost can handle it, and the 'hide couriers' has been set, then TNT will be hidden/unavailable.

because regardless if i turn the toggle on or off I don't get TNT rates if there are Aus Post Rates.
.

If HIDE is enabled, and AustPost can handle it, then couriers will NOT be shown. THey will be hidden.
If HIDE is NOT enabled, and AustPost can handle it, the couriers will ALSO be shown (where considered valid).

Typical example is all Alvey fishing reels on my site don't sow TNT rates
.

The debug SHOULD show you why. If not, it'll show a valid result, anjd as I know I've said at least once before, If the quote is shown in DEBUG mode, but NOT in the final selection, it is because that method has been disabled.
(That, or you have just identified a new bug).

only Aus Post and if you go to Tents-Canvas or Waco Fridge/Freezers you only get TNT Rates and no Aus Post because obviously these items are too big for Aus Post. Is there any trick to get TNT to come up for items along with Aus Post?
.

Yes, the 'trick; is to NOT HIDE them.

I get it to show in debug mode but not when it is off. By the way thanks for your time and efforts so far.

If that is the case, the methods have been adminsistatively disabled.

This is the default behaviour.
