Media Mail Option

You also added the rest of the code from post #10 correct?

Ok...this is what I've done (and boy did I really do something, because now NO SHIPPING ESTIMATIONS show up!): :oops:

Interesting...in my admin I have no usps shipping option. At the top of the page it says:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSEIF in /home//public_html//includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 242

Luckily I saved the file before I made the changes, so I re-uploaded the original file. Have any ideas what I did wrong? (I saved the edited file as well if you need to see it)

This is the code with a few lines before and after it showing ...

See if this works for you ...

Well, I still have my postage estimator, but media mail still shows up in every circumstance. I put a book in the shopping cart, which is from cat 4...media mail was an option and it should have been. Great so far...then I put an electronic in the shopping cart from cat 6...media mail was still an option and was not supposed to be. Here is my code, again like you, I have posted some code before and after:

// BOF: UPS USPS

switch (SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT_DISPLAY) {

break;
case (1):

break;
case (2):
$show_box_weight = ' (' . number_format($usps_shipping_weight * $shipping_num_boxes,2) . TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT . ')';
break;
default:
$show_box_weight = ' (' . $shipping_num_boxes . ' x ' . number_format($usps_shipping_weight,2) . TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT . ')';
break;
}
}

$skip_media = false;
$chk_media = 0;
$chk_media += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','4');
$chk_media += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','19');

$skip_media = true;
}

:(

Ugh Ajeh...I have looking over your code comparing it to mine...I'm not sure, I think I might have left something out. I feel so stupid when it comes to this code stuff. I'm sorry if I am frustrating...believe me, I am frustrated. Is it a possibility to send you my file via PM? :blush:

You are missing the final part of the code:

          if ($type == 'MEDIA' && $skip_media) {
// skip Media Mail
          } else {
            $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '',  $cost);
            $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                               'title' => $title,
                               'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) );
          }
        }
// bof: Media Check

Look at the code that I posted and I included the code above the changes and some code below the changes ...

Start with a clean copy of usps.php so you can just copy in the code I gave you in place of that part of the code in the file ...

Now I have NO shipping estimator....could I PLEASE send you my WHOLE php file via PM? I am really trying to put the code EXACTLY where it is supposed to go and I really believe that I am...but obviously, something is wrong! :frusty:

Try this file and see if it works when copied to the:
/includes/modules/shipping

HALLELUJAH!!!!!! It works now! So do you think I just wasn't pasting the code exactly where it should have gone? I tried so hard to get it right! :blush: Thank you for sticking it out with me and I'm sorry if I was frustrating....I certainly didn't mean to be! This is all so above and beyond my abilities!

You're my hero! :hug:

Thanks again!

From the code I did see you post you kept leaving out the IF around the final cost build:

          if ($type == 'MEDIA' && $skip_media) {
// skip Media Mail
          } else {
            $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '',  $cost);
            $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                               'title' => $title,
                               'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) );
          }

That was to skip the media when it was suppose to be skipped and add the methods when it wasn't ... :cool:

Well, thank you again! I am very grateful for your help! :yes:

Not a problem ... good luck with your shop! :smile:

Ajeh:

Try this file and see if it works when copied to the:
/includes/modules/shipping

I used the zip file from the post above and it works in the cart for checkout purposes, however the shipping estimator now displays only blank boxes where the rates are supposed to be.

        $this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

        if ($this->tax_class > 0) {
          $this->quotes['tax'] = zen_get_tax_rate($this->tax_class, $order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id']);
        }

Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
