Big Royal Mail 3.0

tomellis1982:

I've just installed the latest version for the latest postage rates, and everything is working great except for 'Royal Mail Airmail "Small Parcel" ver. 3.1.0'. European rates are fine on this, but Rest Of World doesn't appear to work when I test it. I noticed that there is no box to define countries for ROW like there is for Europe, is this to do with it?

Apologies if I've missed a patch or I'm just being stupid, but any advice would be great, thanks!

I have check the code and My site and both look fine. Can I suggest that you try installing the module and reinstalling it. If that does not work then you may need to run the uninstall all SQL then reinstall all the modules.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

I am going by the new barcode labels which say Signed For. It is the Royal Mail who aren't being clear here.

Also I have changed all "Small Parcel" to "Small Packet" for international items as "Small Parcel" is a size and there is no "Medium Parcel" for International. "Small Packet" can be quite large as long as it doesn't include personal correspondence.

Previously we shipped some large-ish packages internationally by Royal Mail and seldom had to use ParcelForce but it looks like we are going to somehow figure that into our shipping rates too.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

If you use the template overrides system and place the modified versions in YOUR_SHOPPING_CART_DIRECTORY/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/YOUR_TEMPLATE then they will not be overwritten if I update the source again. I'll keep an eye on Royal mail and may change it back later if it looks like it is staying as signed for.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

it may be me who is confused here. The labels definitely say "Signed For" on them. Some of the counter staff are calling International packages "small packets" and others "small parcels".

We really need a similar ParcelForce module now, to cover the items that were previously sent by Royal Mail but are now too large or too heavy

If I get some time I'll look at adding them. As for the naming It looks like the counter staff and the royal mail have different names. On the web site is starts as delivery conformation then becomes Signed for on the second screen. If I do add the parcel force I will change it back to signed for.:wacko:

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

How do I handle having items of the same weight that need small or medium packaging based on quantity or item size?

I want to do this without giving customers both options to pick from since they will always pick the cheaper option.

As medium is based on size and there is currently no way of determining size and the complexity or trying to put items together to fit into a size I would suggest that you turn off small parcel. The only other alternative would be to add a flag into the database and then modify the mail code. I have not looked at this. to do it properly is a major rewrite and requires additional attributes fro the products.
Yes postage by size is an issue and a major pain. :(

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

I have just updated to the new version Big Royal Mail - Version: 3.1.0b. I followed the docs guide, and it seems that I did something wrong. In the admin area the shipping module is blank and from the debug files this is what I got:

[09-May-2013 12:33:30] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in  /public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/economy.php on line 18

and

[09-May-2013 12:36:00] PHP Warning:  include_once(includes/modules/shipping/rm2ndpacket.php) [<a href='function.include-once'>function.include-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/includes/classes/shipping.php on line 58
[09-May-2013 12:36:00] PHP Warning:  include_once() [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: Failed opening 'includes/modules/shipping/rm2ndpacket.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /public_html/includes/classes/shipping.php on line 58
[09-May-2013 12:36:00] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'rm2ndpacket' not found in /public_html/includes/classes/shipping.php on line 59

I don't know what to do, could someone give me a hand. Many thanks in advance

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

Hello,

I've still the same situation, blank page in the shipping module in the admin area; therefore blank in the estimate shipping in the website, and also completely blank in the checkout page, if you try to buy anything.

But after having uploaded the includes folder again I only get one error (instead of several as previously happened) in the cache log, this one:

[12-May-2013 06:36:55] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/economy.php on line 18

I really appreciate in anyone can help me with this, it's been three days now with this problem and I'm a bit concerned.

Many thanks in advance

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

Is there any possibility to have some help with this problem. It's been 4 days now and still I'm unable to see how to solve this.

I get this error:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/argos33/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/economy.php on line 18

And on line 18 I cannot see anything wrong. This is the whole file:

<?php

if(!defined('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION')){
	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE.'; 
}

for($define_tables=4; $define_tables<=9; $define_tables++){

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_OVERMAXTOTAL', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE.' is only available for orders under £');

If there is anything wrong I cannot see it. If somebody can help me I would very grateful.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

My sincere apologies if I'm a bit of a pain. But I'm really stuck and as I said in my previous posts I don't see how to sort this problem out .

I run the uninstall all SQL, installed the module again, and I have the same problem:

[13-May-2013 09:53:33] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/argos33/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/economy.php on line 18

Is it possible that there is no solution to this? I cannot believe it, there must be some way to sort this out.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

This line looks incorrect:

	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE.'; 

Try using:

	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE.'[B])[/B];

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

Many thanks Ajeh for your reply. I did what you suggested and still the same error:

[13-May-2013 12:04:03] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/argos33/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/economy.php on line 18

I've been trying for the past three quarters of an hour to see if small changes around these lines would solve the problem but to no avail.

The thing is that this file was already in the pack previously to the updating and there was no problem with it. And now this, it's a bit puzzling.

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

I goobered ... :blush:

You have:

	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE.';

So you are appear to be trying to define the MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION as MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE but for that you need to use:

	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_TITLE);

by removing the .'

Otherwise, if you want to define that as some other text you would use:

	define('MODULE_SHIPPING_ECONOMY_TEXT_DESCRIPTION', 'Your text here');

Re: Big Royal Mail 3.0

Ajeh! It worked like a charm! Everything is fine now.
I had to go through 13 files that presented the same problem. But I have no more errors now. I'm still puzzled why in the past worked with those errors, but anyway, after these last three days everything is alright now.
Thank you very much.
