TomB01 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Too late ... they know ... o:) Your file works on my site! It looks a lot more correct than what's returned from that USPS Methods 6 utility file. That gave stuff like "First Class Package Service" that doesn't exist anymore, etc. I think that was what was blowing it up. Tried some different destination zips and countries - it looks like it all works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdwich Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 oops it didn't run on my box. could be the osCmax I run.. not sure..

♥kymation Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 The test file doesn't call on a lot of the osCommerce include files because it doesn't need them. Apparently part of your osCmax does need those defines. As a quick fix, find this code: // Include the osC files we need and add this line just after that: // Include the osC files we need require_once 'includes/configure.php'; Regards JIm Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

wkdwich Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 that did the trick.. and now I have a lovely array of services that look fairly complete to me Quote Debbie DFranklin County, VA "Moonshine Capitol of the World"osCmax Mobile Template oscmaxtemplates.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's the array (or arrays, since there should be four) that will be used to build the list of services to install. If there's one that you need that is not showing up on your array, now would be a good time to mention that. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

hostricity Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 On the weight limits: We use them to limit the options the customer has from which to select. For example, we set a minimum and maximum weights so that the customer will not see more than one flat rate packaging choice. (With this customer's products, the weight serves as a good substitute for physical size of the products.) We use max weight on small flat rate box of 1.5lbs. Minimum weight on larger flat rate box is 1.6lbs. So, even though the flat-rate boxes are supposed to ship anything that will fit in them, we force a larger flat-rate box when the customer has ordered enough items that they won't fit in a small flat rate box. If it's over 1.5 pounds, it goes in the larger box. (If the total shipment is over 1.5 pounds, we know that they ordered enough items that they won't fit in the small box!)

♥kymation Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I plan to keep the min-max weights and handling per service that the USPS Rates V4 Intl Rates V2 module has. You're not the first person to find that useful. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hi Jim, Count me in for testing. This issue has been driving us crazy. We use MVS across about 200 web stores... Your proposed solution would be extremely valuable. Best Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Progress has been slow. I'm doing this in my spare time, and there hasn't been much of that lately.

TomB01 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Good luck! USPS has already announced a rate change that they will implement in January. So, we don't really have that long before everything gets broken again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 A rate change alone won't break any of the existing modules. However, USPS seems to not be content with just rate changes, and changes other parts of the API as well. That's when the fun starts. I have a working skeleton of a module. My intention was to finish the two-stage installer and release that for everyone to play with. It requires modification to admin/modules.php, which is unfortunate but apparently unavoidable. It does allow us to do all sorts of fun things in the second pass though. Expect that in the next couple of weeks. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥kymation Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've uploaded a new package with the adaptive installer. This is a very basic module -- it'll install and that's it. It will give you a look at the installer, which is not a bad idea if you want to check whether I've left out your favorite configuration option. Please do. As before, you will need a valid USPS Web Tools User ID to install this module. You can leave the rest of the options alone or change them as you want. The services will not appear until after you save your edits. You can then edit a second time and chose your services. The installer contacts the USPS server after you edit and click Save the first time. My tests show this takes around 15-20 seconds. I would be interested to know how long yours takes. You may have to change the Test Destination Zip to get the Regional services to appear. Check with the USPS if you need to know which areas are available. All suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Now this is fun. Apparently USPS has pulled another update without telling anyone. Or somebody slipped up. I was working on the module and started getting several services similar to Priority Mail Express 2-Day<sup>#8482;</sup> Sunday/Holiday Delivery Flat Rate Boxes Sunday/Holiday Delivery? I thought only Amazon got those rates. Hmmm.... Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥kymation Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 They don't seem to have changed any of the existing services, as far as I can tell. They have added five new ones. I didn't get any notice, and a quick look at the web site doesn't turn up anything past the July update. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

♥kymation Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 All rates and services are returned from the USPS API, so the module will support them if/when USPS returns them. I don't know what triggers the Commercial Base and Commercial Plus discounts. Do you have an API guide for those? Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

TomB01 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Still checking in every once in awhile ... It's too bad that USPS is becoming so complex with their collection of rates and services. I've only ever used 4 or 5 of their services in my store, but those are absolutely critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm still working on this whenever I can find some time. There hasn't been much of that lately. I'm hoping to get more free time now the holidays are over. I think USPS is hurting themselves with these frequent service changes. I have no idea what they are thinking.

♥kymation Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I don't support the USPS Methods module. The USPS V4 module has been updated by somebody else. I recommend that you use that one.
