ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

Hardly earth-shatteringly important, but Argentina is displaying as a "Suburb" with the same postcode as Marrickville, or have I stuffed up again?

This is probably my stuffup in that I am failing to neutralise the suburb field for overseas destinations.
As for the postcode, this has always 'worked' this way (I think) in that it is simply ignored if a non aust destination is selected.

FYI, the Surburb field isn't a *required* entry either - it gets filled via the postcode data, however in cases where there may be several suburbs with the same postcode then this field may be used as an override so that the correct one is used.

And I have always wondered about the "Boxes:" ...should something appear after the colon? Or only in what circumstance?

I have a habit of changing this on all of the carts I work with to read "Parcels" rather than "Boxes" ... The colon *may* be part of the text definition.. in any case, to the best of my knowlege there is nothing that should appear after it,

Cheers

So it is saying:

Dims: 33.00 x 24.00 x 4.00 parcel

That is, the "Boxes:" bit is describing the dimensions...

i.e. a [whatever size] box or parcel.

With the colon and initial capital it looks like some spec is missing.

Acftually, you are probably right... I think it is supposed to dispay the nbumber of boxes/parcels after the colon. I'm not sure why its not... I'll need to take a look at it before the next update.

I keep getting a "Flat Rate" of $99.00 when I test a product in Checkout.
I am not sure what is going on because the measurements are correct etc on the product item.

I have them as follows:

Product Weight: 9
Product Height (cm): 0.01
Product Length (cm): 32.40
Product Width (cm): 22.90

The "includes/language/custom/english.php" file has the appropriate area changed to gms, the ozpost module is selected to gms.

The ozpost module is as follows:



What can you suggest please?

Thank-you in advance
Kind Regards Casey

I beleive this may qualify the item as being a small letter.
If you have letter rates disabled AND the setting 'hide parcel rates if letter sized' is set to 'Yes' then the module will fall back to the defined static rate, because it has no other viable option.

At least this is my first guess.
Ideally you'll need to provide me with the URL of the product in question for me to be 100% sure.

The "includes/language/custom/english.php" file has the appropriate area changed to gms,

Just for interests sake, this 'setting' doesn't actually *do* anything.. it is for display purposes only (so yes, it does make sense to set it to something suitable, but do keep in mind that it is only for display, so if you change it to 'Walnuts' the quote will still be based on the shipping module settings.

the ozpost module is selected to gms.

This is the important one (along with the data entered per product)

What can you suggest please?

Enable letters as a valid method OR don't hide the parcels if the items are letter sized. If this doesn't work, or isn't applicable please provide a link to the product.

Oh, you can also try enabling the DEBUG function to see if that provides any clues.

Thanks Rod
Hiding Parcel Rates if letter sized worked a treat.


Can't believe I missed that one setting.

It's an easy one to miss, which is why its almost always my first guess :-)

I am a new Zen Cart user. I have a fresh install with only a couple of add-ons: Those being a template, a direct bank deposit add on and also the ozpost add on.

I read the patch text file, but I am curious if the same modification are possible in the relevant files for music product, such as a CD, which would be letter sized. But there are no fields for Length, Height or Width in the pages to add or update a music product.

As I am trying to set up a store for both music and non-music products. I would appreciate any help I can get. Also, I am not truly familiar with PHP coding either.
