seanpatrick Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Some of the sites I've built are back up, but some still display the error. Has anyone actually gotten in touch with USPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minionsweb Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Is any one else still experiencing spotty connectivity with USPS? I have had some orders come thru, but I have also been adding a Credit Card contrib. So I wonder if my edits here and there are honking things up... USPS was working just a bit ago, then I edited a value to report differently. Of course the test run yielded no USPS connection again...

seanpatrick Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 All the sites I had getting errors over the past few days have reported they're back up, although some are spottier than others. I can't say if it's 100% yet or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveleaf Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hey Guys, The only problem I'm having now is that neither domestic nor international first-class is showing up as an option. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you think this is due to the problems USPS is apparently still having, or should I be digging through my code? Thanks for the help! - Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem media Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Ok, just went through and followed all install directions as noted. Now I am getting the same error as Archeon above did. I went through a second time and looked at all files and went through all the directions again, but I still am getting the "array" issue. Exactly what file wasnt edited correctly? Any suggestions as to where I should look? Thanks, --Martin-- Martin, or anyone else with this issue ever get it resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakepetersen Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am building a site for a client who has some pretty specific demands as to what goes on the site. So far i have been able to fuhnagle STS, QBMS, QBI, PWA and Ultra Pics. I had the USPS method that came with the cart installed and was running fine. But, because we had no control over which methods were available thru the USPS method, we decided we should upgrade to USPS Method 4.3. Everything installed nicely except when i go throught the checkout process and get to the shipping page, i get one of these bad boys Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_round_up() in /home/content/b/r/a/brangerm/html/insoles/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 162 I searched this thread for anyone else who may have had a similar problem and found that someone had the problem back in June when he installed paypal express. Does anyone have this working with QBMS or did i miss a step in the installation? anyhelp would greatly be appreciated. Also, you can witness the crash and burn at http://www.archmolds.com/insoles/. I would say don't buy anything but good luck getting that far! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SORRY!!!! and GREAT contrib! Blake, Was that including the USPS labels contrib, or just the methods contrib? If you see the labels contrib working I would like to ask you some operational questions via PM, if it is ok with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman11 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just noticed an issue this evening. I'm using methods 3.0 and noticed now that when customers have a choice between first class and priority, no matter what they choose it defaults to first class. I need help on this one. It's similar to that old issue when we had to change the names to caps. Is there something that changed again that i am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custompilotshirts Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 does this contrib work for 2.2 rc2a? the instructions are a little different because when it says disable USPS by clicking the red button... there is no red button on mine. I'm assuming it wants me to disable USPS by turning true to false? Also, usps sent me the congratulations email that says my profile has been updated to allow access to the Production Servers. The URLs to use for the production servers are http://production.shippingapis.com/shippingapi.dll and https://secure.shippingapis.com/shippingapi.dll. Do I have to do anything with those urls?

It's similar to that old issue when we had to change the names to caps. Is there something that changed again that i am missing? Same thing happening to me since they changed rates. Don't understand how what they did could cause it though, because I still get the rate choices, but when the customer chooses #2 in the list, first-class, the confirm page shows express (#1 in the list). They don't cause the display or passing of globals, etc., but of course, since many people are experiencing this, and we've all had stable state until usps changed something, who knows.

Don't understand how what they did could cause it though, because I still get the rate choices, but when the customer chooses #2 in the list, first-class, the confirm page shows express (#1 in the list). I haven't used USPS (can't, don't have an account available) and just looked at the code but I wonder if it has anything to do with rate sorting? I'll explain. Could it be that the rate sorting function removes the name from the value for the radio button. Example UPSXML might have one like this on checkout_shipping.php: <td class="main" align="right"><input type="radio" name="shipping" value="upsxml_UPS Worldwide Expedited"></td> If the values are e.g. usps_0 for the cheapest rate which is actually something else than Express I could imagine that when the page is loaded again USPS is queried again (standard osC does that), the first rate USPS returns is Express and when rates are not sorted again that will be one chosen in checkout_payment. Just theorizing here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Everything in version 4.3.0 installed what appears to be perfectly, but when going back to Enable the USPS shipping module witj User ID & password, it is not accepting. UNder User ID & Passord, it is stating "Array" Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Zonjee Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Does anyone have any suggestions? Yes: do not skip steps in the install instructions (step 6 to be precise). Almost 100% sure you did that (or better didn't do that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your prompt response. By stating step 6, are you referring to "6. Reselect all options"? By all options, I assume all shipping options for domestic and international? I did do that and still coming up with the same result. I appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean the adding of function tep_cfg_select_multioption($select_array, $key_value, $key = '') but on second thoughts it could also be step 5 (changing of catalog/admin/modules.php) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intepreted that the modification to catalog/admin/modules.php is only applicable to pre-verson 3.0. I will try it though. That was it!

Guest Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well, the module is up and running, but I'm running in one last (I hope) problem. It looks like I have all the settings correct in the Admin>enable, but First Class USPS will not show up for International shipments. I turned off the force insurance as 1st Class Intl is not insurable. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrthor2 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I just installed and I am getting this error on the shipping admin page: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL, expecting ')' in /home/content/y/u/p/yuppiepuppy/html/shop/catalog/admin/modules.php(224) : eval()'d code on line 1.

How can I fix this? My guess: Installation.txt -> Troubleshooting Tips (this comes after step 8) -> 1. If you are getting a "parse error" when you click edit in the admin OR your international options with checkboxes are not showing up in the admin, you may need to use phpMyAdmin to update the database -> configuration TABLE and CHANGE "set_function" to TEXT from VARCHAR. Afterwards: A. Remove the USPS module in the admin B. Re-install the USPS module in the admin C. The options will appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
