Canada Post Package Tracking
This contribution allows osCommerce store owners to provide real-time Canada Post package tracking to their customers. Store owners just enter the tracking number into a text box on the orders page inside the admin. This should be done when updating the order status to “Shipped”. The customer will receive an email as usual telling them the order has been updated. Included in the email is a link which takes them to their account page on your website. On the order details page, the customer will find a box with their tracking number and a clickable box to track their package. This will open a new window, so the customer never leaves your website. If you do not want a customer to receive a tracking number or if you did not ship with a method that provides a tracking number, don't include one when updating the order.

As stated, Canada Post has changed the way they handle the Tracking Form info.
This fix allows customers to check their tracking as in the past. When they receive their status update emails, the Tracking link will take them to their Account History page for that order, where their Order Tracking Number will be auto input. They just hit "Track Package", and they will go directly to the Canada Post Track history for their order.
Files Changed- account_history _info.php
Canada Post has changed things recently and your old form submission may be broken. Please note the new form submission point and form submission data. Info in readme, tracking.php, and PDF for info on direct linking specification. Hope you are helped by this update.
# Package Tracking for Canada Post v1.1
Minor update:
Fixed a type-o in catalog/account_history_info.php:
*************************************************
Changed Comment codes from PHP to HTML comments.
/*Tracking contribution begin*/ /*Tracking contribution end*/ /*Tracking contribution begin*/ /*Tracking contribution end*/
Was showing up on screen in catalog/account_history_info.php, and admin/orders.php
*************************************************
That's it!
Using it in osCommerce 2.2 MS2 without any problems.
