usps.com Click-n-ship AutoFill Button Contrib

athena:

I didn't mean for you to have to take the time to restate all that....but thanks ...no offense intended, I'm just frustrated with wanting super orders and not being able to get it to play nice when it seems the other mods work ok.

Yes, It is likely that I missed a sql - found in my notes to double check that - and as I said, I'll take another week, like I have the time :( and re do everything, assuming it is my problem.

It isn't always though, as mods go, like yesterday finding out that a mod i spent nine hours error checking turned out to be a flaw in the mod. Don't mind saving someone else that headache, but i need to get our live carts running correctly. Sometimes it is a 1.3.9c page that was integrated by the mod creator and you are trying to merge it with an updated page from 1.3.9h - stuff like that is the source of my frustration, not spot on moderators like yourself.

I did read your above comment in this thread. I got my initial impression, however, of pre installing these mods from the instructions, but that was just my harried interpretation, I'm sure.

If you don't have any of these modules installed, but DO plan to install them to use with Super Orders, we STRONGLY suggest that you install Edit Orders, USPS Autofill Click-N-Ship, FedEx Automated Shipping Labels, or Ty Package Tracker BEFORE YOU INSTALL SUPER ORDERS.I'm sorry the rewards are probably few for helping maintain these mods to zencart....maybe why so many questions go unanswered in other mod threads. It is a great opportunity to both benefit and contribute in the forum for me, and I'll try and contribute as I learn....frustrations aside.
That's ONE paragraph, there are several places in the SO3 readme where we state emphatically that you do not NEED TO INSTALL any of these mods for SO3 to work properly.. We recognized that not all shopowners will be using these modules, and they shouldn't be forced to JUST to use SO3. Hence the reason we used an admin switch to turn on these modules versus "forcing" unwanted modules on shopowners by bundling them into SO3.

Again the integration of the code for these mods was done for shopowner convenience, ease of support (no more questions regarding these integrations) and necessity since the super_orders.php file which the target mods includes was not in step with the one included in SO3..

We suggest that anyone planning to install these modules get them working FIRST before installing SO3 so that they can make sure the base module is installed correctly. This way shopowners can work out all the kinks and issues with installation of these mods FIRST and not mix apples with oranges by thinking that issues with other mods are being caused by SO3. We suggested this approach since many shopowners will install the SO3 "Optional Edits" files which hides the default orders.php. This may lead them to conclude (incorrectly) that issues with the other modules is being caused by SO3.

My strong suggestion therefore is to get this and all the other modules configured and working first, then install SO3..

If you don't have any of these modules installed, but DO plan to install them to use with Super Orders, we STRONGLY suggest that you install Edit Orders, USPS Autofill Click-N-Ship, FedEx Automated Shipping Labels, or Ty Package Tracker BEFORE YOU INSTALL SUPER ORDERS.

Since this paragraph above was quoted.. I thought it was important to show what this section of the SO3 readme says in full.. I've highlighted the sections which speaks to my earlier posts..

In order for these modules to work with Super Orders it is presumed that you already have these modules installed and working correctly. To use them with Super Orders, you only need to turn on the corresponding admin flag - see Figure 2 & 3 below.

If you don't have any of these modules installed, but DO plan to install them to use with Super Orders, we STRONGLY suggest that you install Edit Orders, USPS Autofill Click-N-Ship, FedEx Automated Shipping Labels, or Ty Package Tracker BEFORE YOU INSTALL SUPER ORDERS. Make sure you get them working correctly FIRST before you install Super Orders

DO NOT post regarding questions/issues/errors with Edit Orders, USPS Autofill Click-N-Ship, FedEx Automated Shipping Labels, or Ty Package Tracker in the Super Orders support threads!!!! You will be (politely) redirected to the proper support threads. Thanks for understanding..

Will this work with Zen Cart 1.3.9?

Thanks

Has anyone gotten this to successfully work with a 1.3.9h cart?

Short answer is yes..

Hi guys,
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but maybe you can help. I installed the contribution and it's almost working perfectly except it's only filling in my "return" information on the USPS form, not the customer info.

I am using the super_order.php and I have tried both super orders files.

Thanks,
Amy

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.9c and uspscom_clicknship_autofill_button_v1-4. It was working ok but today I started getting message on the first page (after log on) on USPS site:

Internal Error : We've experienced an unexpected condition.
Error Tracking Number : 1313454554133

In addition, the customer address does not populate. The send from address populates correctly.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Do you know (or suspect) it is a USPS problem or a problem with the clicknship module?

Anyone have a fix for it?

Thanks

Utterly simple fix for the USPS form problem (no software hacks)...
Go to the Configuration menu for USPS Autofill.
Set Delivery: Default Shipping from Same ZipCode (Radio Button) to "other"
Set Delivery: Default Shipping from Other ZipCode (If Radio Button set to Other) to BLANK.

This will force an error so you can put a check mark in "same as return" box

Thanks. That seems to work.

On another note, I have successfully installed click-n-ship mod on 3 sites but on fourth, I get error:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"zen_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),"), (NULL, 'Delivery: De' at line 1
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_configuration ....

My table is named zen_configuration, so that is not the problem.

Any ideas?

I cant get the button to show up on an brand new install of 1.3.9h

Any help would appreciated

Did you upload the orders.php file? You need to select the version that is appropriate for you and then rename the file, e.g. rename "orders.php_USPS ONLY" to "orders.php" and upload.

I would like to use this fix, but I am not seeing the USPS Autofill under the Configuration menu. I can see the button on the orders page, and I am getting the error on the USPS site, which is why I need the fix...

I am using: v1.3.9h and used the "USPS ONLY" version of orders.php

Any help is appreciated! :D

You have something installed in wrong place or not installed, this program works!!! Make sure you installed the sql file.

Well, i tried to re-install the sql patch, but it said that it was already installed. Then I re-uploaded the 2 files into the admin folder... still no dice.

Am I missing something obvious? Is it hidden under another menu, or is it directly under Configuration?

The error that some make is to install it under the "Includes" folder instead of admin/includes.

It will show up under Configuration as "USPS Auto-Fill Config" with about 19 lines to setup.

I would check the "Include" folder and see if you have a copy installed there. Otherwise don't know what to suggest.

I actually had it in both folders. I erased the one in includes, and left the one in admin/includes... still not showing up under Configuration. Is there a way for me to do the fix manually on one of the files? I poked around a bit but didn't see anything that stood out.

Also, thanks for responding EZorb. I appreciate your help!

MikeJ:

This looks pretty cool, but folks sure struggle to get it working.

Why use this instead of stamps.com or ship rush?
Because it's incorporated into Zen Cart...

Qhome will you be updating "USPS.com Click-n-Ship AutoFill Button" for V1.5.0?

Thank you,

Larry

Suddenly There's a Problem.
Running 1.3.9h with autofill. Been working fine for months now. Just a few days ago USPS.com started giving the "Please correct fields" message. All fields are correct. Copy the info field for field into a new USPS shipping window and it works fine.

Examined all of the source of the failed form but everything looks fine.

So, Admin->order edit->click autofill button->arrive at usps with form completed->click submit->form returns and says there are mistakes.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, John

USPS has made a major update a few days ago. I am also using 1.3.9h and do not have any errors like you are describing. So it must be something else.
Hope that helps,
