Canada Post module

Sigh.

That was posted because of people abusing volunteer time, and intended to point out that all support is indeed provided for free.

It specifically reads that telephone support is NOT offered. And merely added the outrageous price mention to specifically deter the abuse that had been taking place prior to that post being made.

Nobody has ever been charged that price for phone support from Zen Cart.

That said, 3rd party agencies may offer paid support services ... and that's up to them and you to negotiate an acceptable fee for them to provide those tailored services to you and your company's needs.

So, while you've taken the post at its face-value, I apologize that the context wasn't clearly contained therein and you misinterpreted its meaning. We'll raise the issue with the internal team and make some revisions to that post to add clarity for future. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

But, this is all moot since you said you've gone with some other product instead.
So, wishing you well with your shop. May you encounter abundant volume of sales and great profitability with your store.

Cheers!

I'm sorry, if you read the message it does **not **specifically say that phone support is not offered. In fact, it puts a price on phone support offered!

At any rate, it's unprofessional and hobby-ish in tone, IMO. Our new solution is proving to be professional, and phone support is available (and free). Cheers.

Thanks. We'll take care of updating that 2006 post to more accurately reflect the present-day realities.

In the meantime just a heads-up (when it disappears on you) that our moderator is removing this off-topic discussion from this Canada Post thread.

Is there any update to this Canada Post Mod for Zen Cart 1.5.3?

As I see that the canada post mod is only for 1.5.0 but i'm using 1.5.3

How do you get this mod working with 1.5.3? As I have uploaded the files but as the document says that I might overwrite some stuff of the files and not sure if this is wise or not.. But the store works get the rates and send it in.. but i know this isn't right..

Can anyone help me out on this matter thanks

I've done an update here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=4

NOTE: Apologies, but it's had very limited testing. I'm in the middle of a bunch of other things and my head is distracted. Feedback welcome.

Thanks for this..

But I have no clue how to test out to make sure that Its working.. can anyone verify the work done.

This is really appreciated DrByte

I'm using ZC 1.5.1, fresh install (FTP), it has two templates, Ty Package Tracker, graphical sales report installed, ckeditor, and Canada Post. The server is running Litespeed, PHP Version: 5.4.24, and MySQL 5.5.37-cll.

There are no errors generated in the log files by this issue.

After installing the Canada Post module, and enabling it on port 30000, it seems to connect to Canada Post (I set up my boxes there as well), but it only gives me Expedited and Regular as shipping options, with Standard having either the same price or a higher price.

I've re-installed it (the entire store as well as re-installing the module) with the same results.

Any idea where I can go from here would be appreciated.

Good Day
I have installed the Canada Post module with the proper venture ID and I am getting quotes. My problem is my product dimensions default to 12 X 12 X 12. I can't change it in the product editor but I can change the weight. Any Ideas out there?

In your admin -> catalog -> categories/products -> select product category -> select product to edit

At the bottom of the page, it shows you where to input your dimensional values (for each product).

If necessary, here is the file to change -> admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php

Hope that helps,

I upgraded to the Canada Post Module 1.5.3., and now do not receive quotes from Canada Post. I checked with HostMonster to check that port 30000 was still open and they confirmed it was. I receive quotes from FedEx and UPS, but not CP. Just wondering what I can do to rectify this problem?

Running ZC 1.5.3
PHP 5.4

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Les McDonald

Hello Les,

I've upgraded and it's working for me.

Are you still having problem?

How do I make this compatible with 1.5.4 please (just before I install it)

Hi,
I have installed this module on my zencart 1.5.3 and seems it works fine with demo customer id (CPC_DEMO_XLS).
The question is if it's possible to use the module with latest Canada Post API keys (username : password)?
Unfortunately, they do not provide CPC merchant ID any more.

Thanks

Be aware this prerequisite is** absolutely necessary**:

You need to work with your web hosting service and ask them to ensure that port 30000 is open on the server's firewall.

If this port is not open for incoming and outgoing traffic, then your CP online quote requests will not work. (110-Connection Timeout)

You have to have a Canada Post username and a customer number, then you have to contact them to get a Merchant Retail ID # (CPC_YOUR_STORE)

Do Canada Post module work with zen1.5.4 too ??

  Thanks in advance

I installed Canada Post 1.5.3 mod with zc 1.5.4. I found 3 core files from zc 1.5.4 that were different from zc 1.5.3, so I merged only the Canada Post code sections on those files, by first comparing the the Canada Post mod to the zc 1.5.3 files, then merging only those differences into the zc 1.5.4 files.
admin/incl/mod/copy_to_confirm
admin/incl/mod/update_product
incl/classes/shopping_cart

The rest of the files were straight merges.

Has been working for me.

I was not that lucky. I did exactly what you did (also using zc 1.5.4) but now when I click on Add to cart button it doesn't add the product to the cart. I rolled back the changes and the Add to Cart button works again. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Upps, figured it out. I overwrote includes/classes/shopping_cart.php, should have used the zc 1.5.4 version.
