afterdarkaccessories Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Everyone, Thanks to Australia post they have now changed their process for charging postage. Instead of charging by weight they now use cubic capacity measure on all parcels. Does anyone know of a contribution that will work for me using Australian Zones. any help would be great Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingpongrob Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 When did that change occur? The Australian Shiipping Module in the add ons. They Charge by cubic for all Australian Postcodes, but Charge by weight when sending goods overseas. Makes it very hard to make accurate calculations. As far as I know their is not one contributions that will calculate it 100% correct for Australia Conditions. I also think that the Austpost Server is not responding to the Aust Post contributions. At least for the last 2 Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aust Post seem to fiddle with the drc every 12 months or so, and then fix the problem they create. As for cubic measure, silly to have it on domestic and not international. However, I have no problem is getting accurate results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiemb Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 has anyone got any recent experience with installing an AustPost contribution? I tried one but got this error msg ... (which prob has to do with me needing to change the date format in yet another place ;)) ... Error SQL query: CREATE TABLE geo_zones( geo_zone_id int( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , geo_zone_name varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '', geo_zone_description varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '', last_modified datetime default NULL , date_added datetime NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY ( geo_zone_id ) ) TYPE = MYISAM ; MySQL said: Documentation #1067 - Invalid default value for 'date_added' [which is: Message: Invalid default value for '%s' ] ... it would be good to have something if not an AustPost specific .. which would you recommend?

The austpost sql says DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `geo_zones`; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `geo_zones` ( `geo_zone_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `geo_zone_name` varchar(32) NOT NULL, `geo_zone_description` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `last_modified` datetime default NULL, `date_added` datetime NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`geo_zone_id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4 ; but it may be mysql version dependent.

pixiemb Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 line 312 $navigation->add_current_page(); where should I add DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `geo_zones`; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiemb Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 line 312 $navigation->add_current_page(); where should I add - I went to Shipping Module and see below - DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `geo_zones`; In the Shipping Module have this error Shipping Modules 1146 - Table 'nimbinon_nomcheckout.geo_zones' doesn't exist select geo_zone_name from geo_zones where geo_zone_id = '2' do I just create the table - nimbinon_nomcheckout.geo_zones - and what would be the structure?
