[Contribution] - USPS Methods

[sml 0]

What version of OSC are you using? Just wondering since I am still using 2.2.

 

I am using v2.2.

[pederb 3]

In includes/classes.xml_5.php, find this code (lines 25-26)

 

 $xml_parser = &new XML();
$data = &$xml_parser->parse($xml);

 

and replace it with this

 

 $xml_parser = new XML();
$data = $xml_parser->parse($xml);

 

I haven't tested that, so please let me know if it works.

 

Regards

Jim

It appears that you're trying to run an old version of osCommerce on PHP 5.2 or higher. You're going to have a lot of these warnings that need to be fixed or hidden. If you want to do all that work, try searching the forum for "Function ereg_replace() is deprecated" (without the quotes.)

 

It might be easier for you to start with osC 2.3.1, since it already is PHP 5.2 compatible, and just move over your products and customers.

First time install - v 6.1a.

Nearly everything seemed to be working fine with the exception of domestic First Class Mail... Any clues?

Hi Jim,

 

I do have 2.3.1

[♥kymation 630]

Hi Jim,

No, you do not. 2.3.1 does not use ereg_replace() anywhere. If you started with 2.3.1, you have overwritten files with older 2.2x files. This is a really bad idea, and will cause you all sorts of problems. You should put the 2.3.1 version of the file back up and make any changes needed by hand.

Ok, here is what I did, I uninstall 6.1a, reinstall 5.2.2 and change 3 lines of code and it works like a charm.

AWSOME!!! Thank you so much!!!

@@sml - 5.2.2 installed fine and seemed to work. I did find that it is adding an extra ounce to the overall weight - resulting in higher postage charged.

I thought I recalled reading about this problem but can't seem to find the posts...

problem solved... it was my "tare weight" setting.

[fulluvscents 15]

Someone emailed me about international first class not working. Don't have time to sort through the thread and find the post.

 

But, I don't see any problems with int'l first class. Remember, it only works for up to 4 lbs.

Are you saying that your contribution do not work on the newer 2.3.1?

Hey guys. Wow. Ya know, I think I've got 5.2.1 or 5.2.2 running on my site (osc2.2). I never ran into any issues with the changes on the 22nd. Everything is fine and dandy.

 

I did decide to write a new module though because well, I'll be honest. The scripting for the old one was pretty hacked up. This one was written and tested on a 2.3.1 site. It is a very stripped down module, without any frills. I figured I would upload it at it's barest point and add to it from there. I will be the sole maintainer of that contribution so the updates will stay clean and understandable.

 

Note that USPS methods has gotten to a whopping file size, with FAR too many intrusions into the database, other pages, etc... It's actually gotten downright silly. Not everyone wants to spend an hour or two or DAYS uploading and dealing with the frustration of what should be a simple postage calculator. And unfortunately, stock 2.3.1 doesn't even come with a V4 compatible module. So, hopefully, this will fit the bill for those who want a working, efficient, and very easy to install USPS shipping calculator.

 

The new module can be found here:

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8327

 

And I have started a support thread here:

I'm in the same boat of no First-Class Domestic appearing with v6.1a. Everything else works great.

 

Has anyone found a solution for this other than downgrading to 5.22?

 

Thanks,

Quick ?. I'm on 5.0.1 methods. Is going to 5.2.2 just a switch of usps.php or are there other code changes elsewhere? At work and can't d/l the file. I noticed my first-class rates for international are really high for some reason. Even at .01lb its like $6 shipping instead of like $3.50 or so.

I'm on 5.0.1 and was fine by changing "package" to "parcel". I did notice my first class int. rates are a bit high no matter what I do. I decided to up to 5.2.2 but when I click edit to go in and adjust the settings in the module it just gets a blank page, well it expands the page with the list of modules and does nothing. Any idea. I skipped step 10 like it says if going from a previous version.

This worked perfectly. But I tend to agree that this contrib makes A LOT of database queries that seem unnecessary. When USPS Rate V4 Intl Rate V2 - v.1.0 has a little more functionality, like adding handling fees to different classes, I think I will install this so my site runs more efficiently. Thanks again!!!

is fully stabilized and matured. My intent was to start with simple, and add features, so that there would be some options. Some people want the features (me), and some don't. No need to force it on them.

 

I would recommend testing it. If you run into any bugs, then please report them on the appropriate forum. With the exception of any potential bugs (which I don't anticipate whatsoever), this is what it is, and there won't be any additional options or features.

Downloaded latest version & updated.

 

Still working fine, however not getting first class shipping option. Threshold is set for 12. Item in cart shows as 1 pkg, 0.39 lbs total

 

Media Mail, Priority Etc are all showing. All the options for first class are also checked.

 

Any idea why these are not showing up? Thank you
