DHL module error: Country invalid

[nicklestud]

I seem to get an error when using the DHL Module. The error is as reads:

 

DHL Express (1 x 2lbs) DHL Express

The following errors have occured:

1. Country invalid.

 

 

I get this whenever I use a UK address. Anyone else getting this error when they are using a certain address?

Here is what DHL sent me about this issue:

 

Sorry for the incorrect code .

Use "UK" instead of "GB".

Here is an example :

<Receiver>

<Address>

<CompanyName>Coke E. Coli</CompanyName>

<Street>303 Regent Street</Street>

<City>Leicester</City>

<State></State>

<PostalCode>LE45DP</PostalCode>

<Country>UK</Country>

</Address>

<AttnTo>Sally Consumer</AttnTo>

<PhoneNbr>206-255-2555</PhoneNbr>

</Receiver>

The document will be updated.

I put the code shown below into the includes/modules/shipping/dhlairborne.php

somewhere around line 273. Pretty simple fix. Basically I had to change the information from 'GB' into "UK'. I tested it out for address from Scotland all the way to N Ireland and it works.

 

Here is the old code:

	function _setDestination($street_address, $city, $state, $postal, $country) {
  global $order;

  $postal = str_replace(' ', '', $postal);
  $state_query = tep_db_query("select zone_code from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_name = '" . $state . "' and zone_country_id = '" . (int)$order->delivery['country']['id'] . "'");
  $state_info = tep_db_fetch_array($state_query);

  $this->destination_street_address = $street_address;
  $this->destination_city = $city;
  $this->destination_state = $state_info['zone_code'];
  $this->destination_postal = substr($postal, 0, 5);
  $this->destination_country = $country;
}

 

 

Here is what I changed it to:

 

	function _setDestination($street_address, $city, $state, $postal, $country) {
  global $order;

  $postal = str_replace(' ', '', $postal);
  $state_query = tep_db_query("select zone_code from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_name = '" . $state . "' and zone_country_id = '" . (int)$order->delivery['country']['id'] . "'");
  $state_info = tep_db_fetch_array($state_query);

  $this->destination_street_address = $street_address;
  $this->destination_city = $city;
  $this->destination_state = $state_info['zone_code'];
  $this->destination_postal = substr($postal, 0, 5);
  if ($country == 'GB'){
	  $country = "UK";
  } 
  $this->destination_country = $country;
}

You can also just go into Countries (under Locations / Taxes) in your configuration screens and for the country United Kingdom just change the two-letter code from GB to UK. This is where the shipping modules get their data. But this changes it for the entire osCommerce system, not just the DHL shipping module.

I just changed it back and reloaded: UPS requires the code be GB and DHL requires that it be set to UK! I guess your shipping module patch is the best method after all.
