Australia Post Shipping Module

Does anyone have experience using this Australia Post shipping module? It's exactly what I need but pretty expensive and no indication of which version of Zen Cart it's compatible with.

Unfortunately the freely available AusPost module is no longer available!

I suggest you delete that site from your bookmarks. The text on that page was taken directly from the 'AustPost - improved' module that was available (for free) in the zencart downloads section.

This module is no longer available from the zencart site because it no longer works and is no longer supported. It has been replaced with the much improved 'ozpost' module. (works with zencart 1.3.7 upwards)

Hi Rod,

Thank you very much. I'm guessing you're also the OzPost's author? Double karma!

Thanks again, Chris

So am I correct to believe that there is no longer a free version of the Australia Post shipping module, only the paid version "ozpost", which looks to be free for 60days only?

There is a version of Australia Post that is free, not as "complex" as Ozpost but dosnt cost either...

What is the charge now for the ozpost module?

You have something seriously amiss with your installation.

The /languages/......../ozpost.php file either hasn't been uploaded, or has been uploaded into the wrong folder.

I can't tell if this your only problem or not.

I suggest that you remove/delete the files that you have uploaded, and try again, this time being careful that they all end up in the right places.

Also do NOT keep backups of any module code in the same folders as the original files. Such backups can often cause problems.

Cheers

PS. This is NOT the support forum for OZPOST. Please use the correct forum if you have any other questions or problems in regards to the ozpost module. (search for 'ozpost'). I often miss questions when they are posted in these unofficial threads.

PS. Your database is also out of sync with the files. To correct this you will need to log into the admin of your store and navigate your way to the ozpost configuration settings, then click the uninstall button, then immediately press the install button again.

This needs to be done after uploading the ozpost files, but before trying to obtain a quote.

If you have installed V3.0.0 or later then you don't need to uninstall/reinstall to perform the synchronization, it will do this automatically BUT this needs to be 'triggered', which is a simple matter of navigation your way to the ozpost settings screen.

You have recently gone from bad to worse.

I can't even get to your store at the moment. I am being greeted with an error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/html/includes/languages/english/michellewardley/shopping_cart.php on line 22

What this means is that you have have uploaded a boat load of files to

/home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/html/includes/languages/english/michellewardley/

There should NOT be a folder called "michellewardley" in the
/home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/html/includes/languages/english/ folder, infact the only place you should find a folder by this name is this one:
/home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/

and all of your webstore files should be in this folder:
/home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/html/

What FTP program do you use? (or did you upload as a .zip file and extract the files on the server itself?)

Most FTP programs will allow you to 'queue' the files before uploading, this is an ideal time to verify that the files will be uploaded to the correct folders before initiating the transfer.

If you are uploading a .zip file and extracting it on the server then you must upload the zip file into the /html/ folder, because the zip exraction code will use its current location as being the 'root' of the file system and the files are extracted relative to that location, so if the zip is uploaded to (say)
**/home/content/m/i/c/michellewardle/html/includes/languages/english/ **the zip files will end up in all the wrong places, in fact they will end up where they are now, which is obviously incorrect.

For what it is worth, you are not the first person to get this wrong, and you most certainly won't be the last. In fact I'd go as far to say that every person here has done the exact same thing at some stage or another. I still manage to mess up in this regard myself more times than I'd care to admit, so as bad as it may seem, don't beat yourself up over it.. Take a break and try again.
