OOPS. short circuit between the ears.

Darn. Think I'm helping and instead just show my own ignorance.

Best way to learn is to goober up ... :cool:

Hi Rick ...

Have you managed to break anything else on this New USPS RateV4 shipping module for the January 27, 2013 changes?

Anyone else break anything or confirm that this is working for you? :lookaroun

I didn't have much time last week for anything other than a quick install to our sandbox. I can try to break it today/tomorrow if that will help or if you want it?

Currently, we make extensive use of Marco's volume filtering option for firstclass & flatrate boxes but realize there is going to come a time when I will not be able to cobble together things to keep it working. That may be when I finally upgrade from 1.3.9h in a few months.

You added a few options that looked really nice. More detailed checks later today.

Hi Linda,

Just started with a few examples in our sandbox. I see a few glitches in the calculations but give me a bit today/tomorrow to figure out the what/when/where/why and then make a list instead of onesy/twosy here.

Here's what I came up with. I call myself checking to make sure that other options that affect calculations were not set but I could be mistaken.

Handling fee: US and International

US: Handling fee set @ $5
1st line displayed adds $5
2nd line displayed adds $10
3rd line displayed adds $15
4th line displayed adds $20
etc.
Same for shipping quote or during checkout
Same whether logged in or not
Same whether retail or online

International:
First class USPS letter or package appears to add 18 times the International fee
Flat rate appears to add 10 times the International fee

Housekeeping
formatting of individual handling fees:
$ sign being on a different line instead of beside the fee input field is hard on my eyes but doesn't affect functionality.

Personal preference
I quote retail pricing to customers but also use Regional rate boxes as an option. Setup doesn't allow for this condition but you cannot please everyone. Ahah.... set online pricing and place the appropriate adder into the individual flat rate handling fee boxes and all becomes OK.

Try changing the "+=" to just "=" on the two lines in this section around line 361:```
if ($order->delivery['country']['id'] == SHIPPING_ORIGIN_COUNTRY || $this->usps_countries == 'US') {
// domestic/national
$usps_handling_fee [B]+=[/B] MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING;
} else {
// international
$usps_handling_fee [B]+=[/B] MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_INT;

Does that fix your handling fee duplication issues?

Yes, that change eliminated that handling fee duplication.

Great!

$ on the line above the input field instead of to the left of the input field.

Petty, probably.

Odd seems to do this in IE and not FireFox ... thanks for the update ...

That pic was a snip from FireFox 19.0.2

Actually worse in Chrome & Safari

Try changing line 1300:

    $string .= '<div style="width:[B]60[/B]px;float:right;text-align:center;">$' . zen_draw_input_field($name, current($key_values), 'size="4"') . '</div>';

Does this fix it for you?

Looks great in FF & IE9

Chrome & Safari (I don't use either) still looks buggered up w/that issue and overlapping text/input boxes (at least the setup on my monitor)

Try changing all the:
width:50px

to read:
width:60px

in that function ... does that clear things up for you?

Can't say that I see any difference when all the

width:50px

changed to read:
width:60px
