FedEx calling quote() 2x - getting quotes list twice

[benbogart]

Has anyone had this problem?

 

For some reason OSC is calling the quote() function in the FedEx shipping module (v. 2.07) twice, resulting in duplicates of each shipping method. In checkout it looks like this:

 

 	
Federal Express (Total items: 2 pcs. Total weight: 0.82 lbs) Federal Express 	

Home Delivery (2 days) 	$8.23 		
Express Saver (3 Day) 	$10.60 		
Home Delivery (2 days) 	$8.23 		
Express Saver (3 Day) 	$10.60

 

With debug on I added some output to the beginning and end of the quote() function to see why this was happening and sure enough it pumped out the debug info twice, once before outputting progress bar and once after. Does anyone have any idea why the quote function would be called 2x. Maybe something leftover from a previous module that wasn't completely removed... but what?

 

Thanks for your help. I'm still pretty new to osc.

Actually, the shipping modules are loaded and the function quote called twice: once when the page is opened and then when the customer makes a choice and submits. But never twice when the page get opened to get the rates doubled. That is bizar.

... and it only happens with the fedex module. The others are fine.

ok, thats not the problem. I added the same code to the ups module to see if it had quote called 2x and it did just like the fedex module, once before and once after the status bar. The difference is that the UPS doesn't duplicate the shipping methods. Anyone know why? Thanks...

Fedex 2.07 has two tracks of calculation... one is for normal items processed per the stores configuration, and another path that is followed if your designate an item "ship seperate"... perhaps you are seeing both paths for some bizarre reason. But that still doesnt explain the symptoms you describe.. that is strange

Well, I sort of gave up... I noticed that for some reason the rates were not duplicated in the MVS version of the FedEx module (but the quote function is still called twice and the data is sent to FedEx twice). I had also noticed some other strange behavior with the regular shipping like the change address box being duplicated with some shipping modules enables which also was not happening using mvs on and using the mvs versions of the modules. So I modified my one custom shipping module for MVS (not so hard actually now that I have an idea whats going in) and everything seems to be working fine -- at least on the surface.

 

I still have burning curiosity to find out what was going on, and I will have to resolve problem of the data being sent twice to FedEx at some point, but I have to get this site released as soon as possible so I'll have to wait until I have a little free time to track it down. Oh well.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Mine's duplicating the rates as well ever since upgrading to 2.07.1. So odd.

I'm having the same issue. I have quite a few items with "ship seperately" checked and it definitely does it with them. I'll have to do some testing for non-ship seperately items, but if anyone has a solution, please post!

Hi All,

I was having this problem, and in my case the culprit was in the file:

catalog/checkout_shipping.php.

 

This line appeared twice in my page, once near the top and then again in the body:

$quotes = $shipping_modules->quote();

 

I had this line added into the body due to the Multiple Vendor Shipping (MVS) module that I installed some time ago. I removed the entry at the top, because the one in the body was part of MVS and it fixed the issue.

 

So, check for the line, $quotes = $shipping_modules->quote(); and make sure it only appears once.

 

Good luck!
