USPS Rate V4, Intl Rate V2 (official support thread)


Guest

Recommended Posts

International...getting priority mail international , but not 1st class package international.

 

Domestic...getting both 1st class parcel and priority.

 

I have error reporting turned off.

I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can.

I remember what it was like when I first started with osC. It can be overwhelming.

However, I strongly recommend considering hiring a professional for extensive site modifications, site cleaning, etc.

There are several good pros here on osCommerce. Look around, you'll figure out who they are.

OK, maybe if I admit my stupidity it will help.  I'm running the original USPS Rate V4 Intl Rate V2_r3.4 downloaded from the Add-On area.  My domestic First-Class Mail Parcel and First-Class Package International Service are working just fine.  Turns out that I had the Tare Weight set to 3 lbs and that's over the weight limit for 1st Class services.  I only use 1st Class Parcel/Package, Priority and Priority Express for both domestic and international, however.

@a.forever  Thanks for the bug reports. I'll fix those and upload a new version.

 

@@altoid   I haven't tested International yet, so I need to go do that. Thanks for letting me know.

 

Everyone who is complaining that the current module still works: That will change next Monday. Do you want to wait until it breaks?

 

Regards

Jim

Well, I had in my post that it was OK until Monday, but then edited it out because I thought maybe that was pressuring someone too much. B)

I just installed this module. I set all my options, but was not getting any USPS shipping methods offered. I went back to the configuration and in the section where you select the class/min/max/handling, all the boxes are unchecked and the values are in the wrong columns. (See attached.)

 

I did see an earlier that describes a similar problem, but I was not clear if it had been solved, or how to solve it.

@@georgecvsc  That means that you didn't make the changes to admin/modules.php, or you made them wrong.

 

After you fix that, uninstall and reinstall the module.

International: first class package international and priority are working

 

domestic:  first class parcel and priority are working.

 

run with error reporting off.

 

those options above are the only ones I use in this particular shop.  if you'd like me to test other options I can enable for testing purposes.

 

thanks for working on this   :thumbsup:

Please test everything you can. I've done this, and everything is working as far as I can tell. I might have missed something though, so it's always good to get a second opinion.

Err, it doesn't run very fast. If you meant turn off, comment out line 560 of the module file.

 

Just remember that this is the test version, and it will stop working when USPS turns off the test server. You'll need to change the URL on line 18, or wait for the final version of this module.

My mistake; I was too lazy to type the code tags. The line you want should look like this:

 

 

mail( EMAIL_FROM, 'USPS Debug Message for ' . STORE_NAME, $mail_body );

I added a few more options that made sense for the product type:

 

international:

 

First-Class Mail® International Large Envelope $4.79 First-Class Package International Service $8.24 Priority Mail International® $27.13 Priority Mail Express International $36.19 Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG) $56.52
 

 

Domestic:

 

United States Postal Service 0 lbs, 10 oz shipping_usps.gif First-Class Mail® Large Envelope $2.87 First-Class Mail® Parcel $3.58 Priority Mail $5.05 Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope $5.05 Priority Mail Express $15.13
 

 

All that I checked worked.

And try #4. This seems to have fixed all of the bugs in International shipping. Please let me know if you can find any more problems. Time is running out....

 

Regrds

Jim

So that error I reported went away. +1.

Here are some new problems:

 

Media Mail and Library Mail no longer function. I'm assuming it's the change to Flat. So, I just reverted back to the Parcel coding back in your #3 version.

 

I also figured out why Small FRB wasn't showing up for international. The dimensions are causing this. Length, Width, and Height should probably be hard-coded to 0.2 for now. Doing so makes the service appear!

 

Finally, this is a cosmetic issue I found on Chrome. It's been bugging me, but I never bothered to push a fix. I personally think that 5px matters.

 

Around line 739, FIND:

<div style="width:50px;float:right;text-align:center;">Handling</div> 

CHANGE TO:

<div style="width:55px;float:right;text-align:center;">Handling</div> 

Around line 749, FIND:

        $string .= '<div style="float:left;">' . preg_replace(array ( 

CHANGE TO:

        $string .= '<div style="float:left;padding:5px;">' . preg_replace(array ( 

Around line 780, FIND:

$string .= '<div style="width:50px;float:right;text-align:center;">$

CHANGE TO:

$string .= '<div style="width:55px;float:right;text-align:center;">$

EDIT: I think I've attached my file to this post. Plus, some pictures of the working attached file.

@@dculley  The above post by @a.forever is the final version, unless someone spots a bug. That is using the test server, and that will be shut down in the near future, so you will need to change line 18 on Monday. You may also comment out line 567 if you don't want to get the debug emails. I should probably make one or both of those an option in the setup.

I've uploaded the final version to the usual location. I've tested this and the USPS production server seems to be updated and working correctly. Please upload and test this ASAP If you spot any anomalies, please post them here so we can fix them.

 

For those who are doing this for the first time, you will need to uninstall your USPS module first. Make a note of all your settings first. Then upload the following files:

  • <catalog>/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php
  • <catalog>/includes/classes/http.php

Now reinstall the USPS module. Edit the module settings and put back the settings you have saved. Your shipping quotes should now be working again.

 

Many thanks to all of the testers who reported bugs, and special thanks to @a.forever for the code and for correcting my misunderstanding of the USPS API docs.

 

Regards

Jim

@@kymation Thanks again! Just grabbed the latest package from your last post. All looks good and running well. Doesn't look like we need to change the API back tomorrow or comment out the debugging. Here's a quick question regarding the layout of the the shipping. Take a look at my pic, is the extra space in there something in the layout of the entire site or is it something in the usps code? It looks good on a small browser but a lot of extra space when in a widescreen etc.

 

Thanks @a.forever also!!

@@Jayman11  That's just osCommerce. The elements are in a table, and your browser spaces out the table cells the way it wants to. You could probably fix that with some CSS if it bothers you.
