Guest Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 As many of you probably know, you do not have to upgrade to 2.2 to rid yourself of the FedEx error. Simply download the 2.2 snaphot and extract the NEW fedex.php to the existing modules folder. It works perfectly with the 2.1 system. (Always make a backup of original files replaced.)

howardh Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I get this error message from the fedex module: Error: Service temporarily unavailable. Please contact store owner if you wish to use this service. I have updated the following: /modules/shipping/fedex.php /classes/_fedex.php plus the language files. Is this related to the fact that our country of origin is Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edschaum Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I get this error message from the fedex module: Error: Service temporarily unavailable. Please contact store owner if you wish to use this service. I have also been receiving this error for the last 24 hours or so. My fedex module is: $Id: fedex.php,v 1.35 2002/08/29 02:00:54 hpdl Exp $ This is introducing a strange situation - It seems like OSC tries to default to the best shipping rate, so with Fedex error'ing out, OSC isn't not picking any of the other shipping options by default (the other radio buttons are NOT filled in). If the customer checks out without choosing any of the remaining shipping methods, shipping isn't added at all. I've turned off the Fedex module for the moment to eliminate the zero shipping cost effect. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I think the FedEx service may actually be the problem and not the module... I am getting the same error where it has been working fine up until now. I just noticed as of Sept. 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Ponce de Leon Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I think the FedEx service may actually be the problem and not the module... I am getting the same error where it has been working fine up until now. I just noticed as of Sept. 23. Thats when FedEx updated the RateFinder service to allow worldwide shipping (not just USA->). I'll look into updating the module as soon as I can but can't promise a solution soon. If someone wants to look into it meanwhile, go for it :) , osCommerce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardh Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Their constant change of API is very frustrating. I mean there must be thousands of users that rely on some sort of real time price quoting, whether they are using OSC or another e-commerce package. Hopefully there's a patch for this soon.

sfatula Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Harald, if you have any doc on Fedex ratefinder, I will fix it tonight. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxer Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I'm currently running 2.2 and I'm getting the same error as everyone. Error: Service temporarily unavailable. Please contact store owner if you wish to use this service. Any new info on the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfatula Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Fedex is NOT changing the API, that's not the problem. The ratefinder was not a supported method for E-Commerce sites to use, it just happens that it was the easiest way I suppose for whoever wrote it to get it to work with OSC. Fedex has supported APIs, there just isn't a driver for them, yet. All Fedex did was change the manual screen users use at Fedex.Com to get rates, why shouldn't they be able to do this? The shipping module sort of read the screen and fed it info, just like a user would. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
