Set to 1 and do all the things that are described in the file dimensions.txt that came with the package. My advice: don't.

That something goes wrong. Never seen this myself, search for the phrase in the forums.

Not with a setting in UPS XML. You would need to change the upsxml.php file and add code to convert the quotes received from UPS into another currency using an exchange rate.

hi JanZ, tks to your reply but i still have the 1 problem of the upsxml.php

 

the shipping rate will return the query form UPS using my country of origin. said i live in singapore, the currency in shipping query result will be in SGD, can i set to display USD?

Not with a setting in UPS XML. You would need to change the upsxml.php file and add code to convert the quotes received from UPS into another currency using an exchange rate.

if i will have to hard code the exchange rate in upsxml.php file, where should i hard code the exchange rate. said i have to set the exchange rate SGD 1 = USD 0.60. can you guide me, many many tks :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Look around line 259:

  END of doing things differently:		*/

				$methods[] = array('id' => $type, 'title' => $_type, 'cost' => ($this->handling_fee + $cost));

Here the handling fee is added to the cost, this is one point where you can manipulate the $cost. I guess this could work:

 $methods[] = array('id' => $type, 'title' => $_type, 'cost' => ($this->handling_fee + ($cost*0.60)));

Just for anyone else who is reading this. Exchange rate fluctuates greatly from time to time, so hard coding it is a BAD idea.

You should have the currency auto update on a daily basis from a currency server and use a variable with the daily updated currency rather than hard coding it.
