USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Hi all I have a good friend who I helped set up her Zen cart on her website, that is having issues with her Zen cart USPS shipping module

  • This is what she told me about the issue -

"I am having issues with our shipping module on the website. I uninstalled the USPS shipping and reinstalled it as that was the advice on the help forum but it has not resolved the issue. If you add a saddle or larger item to your cart and go to check out, if you choose the cheaper ground shipping method, and then go on to checkout, it will automatically change it to the higher priced priority shipping. Cannot get the ground shipping to stick. I went onto the help site and everything said to just uninstall and reinstall but that did not fix it for me. Also will not calculate overseas shipping properly. "

What should I do??? I am not very familiar with Zen Cart and I have to help her figure this out as she is loosing sales :-( Any and all Help greatly appreciated!!!!!

When downloading addon plugins always take the most current one from the Orange button that reads:

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

this is the message when you go to check out for the shipping???? Could this be an issue with our settings in the Admin area, USPS or the New Update?

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Take out the changes and let me work through this after a few I am seeing an issue that you cannot fix at the moment but the clean one should work for you ...

The changes for function parseDomesticTransitTimeResults should also work for you ... I just have to work out some things for function parseIntlTransitTimeResults and that will be later this afternoon or tonight ...

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Put the new file from the Zip for usps.php in the directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

you still need the usps.php file that is already in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Okay updated the website with the new File you gave me and uninstalled and then reinstalled the USPS mod. on the Store Back office and it is still not working! I don't know what to do at this point? I am getting the same error message that USPS is not working as before.

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Could you edit the Modules ... Shipping ... and edit the USPS and turn on your Logs ...

Test the shipping and then Zip the log and your current
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

from the server ...

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

I am so sorry but I am lost! I will gladly do anything just not sure what you mean... We edited the USPS Mod in the stores back office and if you can explain the rest I will gladly get those files and zip it up to send to you just not sure what your talking about.

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Okay ... in your FTP program you want to check that the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

is the same on both your computer and the server so that you can include it in the Zip that you are sending me ...

If you turned on the Debug Log in the USPS shipping module, you will find logs generated in your directory:
/logs

or, if running an older version of Zen Cart, it logs are saved to the directory:
/cache

Now if you test your shipping for Domestic and for International, you should see log files generated for both ...

You want to download these logs to your computer so that you can include them in the Zip file that you are making ...

The reason for asking to get a copy of:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

from the server is to ensure that the one that you are sending me is the same thing that is running on your server ...

Does this help?

Re: USPS Shipping mod. HELP!!

Yes very much Thank you, I am sorry I am not very hip to all this stuff. I will work on getting all of that for you now!

One question though, do we need to make a "trial sale" in both domestic and international purchases or does the debug do it on its own?

How do I do this test?
