Hello is it possible to update the module to pull USPS "commercial rate" or "online rate" instead of more expensive "post office price"? Is there a line of code that I have to edit to affect this change?

I just installed this on 1.5.5.1 and the checkout options seem to have changed to the proper formatting, the invoices are still showing the <sup>, in 2 places...

*edit
The problem seems to be the database, the mod doesn't fix the $options['shipping_method'] already written to the DB. Is it possible to get a couple lines of sql code to change them(I know, facepalm)?

For the record a new order just came through and it's writing correctly to the database. The admin invoice page, the invoice print, order view pages etc..

The SQL would be something like

Code: Select all

UPDATE table SET column='new_shipping' WHERE column='old_shipping';
Obviously replace table, column, new_shipping and old_shipping with the appropriate values. Rinse and repeat as needed.

@turbobeds: The new version of the API doesn't require a password. Username alone is sufficient.

It is possible to make the USPS module display the commercial rates rather than the retail rates, but that is outside the scope of this mod. I've written another mod which accomplishes this, and it will be available shortly. When it is, I'll post a link here.

Here's a link to the module I wrote to accomplish this functionality: Commercial/Online Pricing

Jbgood. I apologize for not responding sooner.

Were you able to determine whether or not this update was the actual cause?

I'm having an issue with this mod, and getting Standard Post to work. The only option I want to give my customers is "Standard Post" and it's the only one that won't work. I constantly get: "Warning: No Shipping options are available. Please contact us for assistance!" It seems like if I select all the options in the shipping options section, some of them will work, but it depends what zip code I type in.

Running OpenCart 1.5.5.1

Thanks!

I solved my issue after waiting on hold for an hour with USPS. Apparently if you ship items (in my case 2lb small boxes) to people who are near by (2-3 state radius) they change "Standard Post" to "Media Mail". So, I solved my problem by checking "Media Mail" as an option in my shipping configuration for USPS. Hope this helps others with similar issues. Thanks!

According to the Extension page for this mod the latest version includes the update for the January 2014 fix as well correct? If so what is the latest version of this mod so I can check I managed to grab the most recent for OC v1.5.1.3

The latest version does support the new shipping option for the January 2014 update. It was a minor update, only adding one service.

I have multiple "editions" of this Mod available for different OC versions, but they are developed in parallel. Anything you download from the extension page should be the latest version.

How much work would be needed to get it where this extension could purchase postage through the USPS API's?

That's actually on my list of projects to tackle, but it won't ever be a part of this extension. That project will require significantly more development time.

Any update on being able to purchase postage through the USPS API's?

I am having trouble getting this extension (and the commercial rates extension) to function at all. I am using OC v1.5.4 and this is what the vQmod error log shows:

MOD DETAILS:
modFile : /home/cascade/www/www/vqmod/xml/Hogan_USPS_7_2013_fix_v152up.xml
id : Fix USPS Rates for 7/28/2013 API Update
version : 1.4.0
vqmver : 1.0.9
author : JeffroDH
SEARCH NOT FOUND (ABORTING MOD): $xml .= ' <Service>ALL</Service>';

MOD DETAILS:
modFile : /home/cascade/www/www/vqmod/xml/hogan_usps_pull_online_rates.xml
id : USPS Pull Online Rates
version : 1.1
vqmver : 1.0.9
author : JeffroDH
SEARCH NOT FOUND (ABORTING MOD): $xml .= ' <Service>ALL</Service>';

-----------------------------

What is really strange about this, is that I can manually go into my usps.php file and search for those terms and find them without any problem. Why do you think the mod is having trouble finding them? It's looking for "catalog/model/shipping/usps.php" which is exactly where my usps.php file is. I am using a custom theme, but it still uses the stock shipping modules.

Any thoughts on this? I just put down $30 for these two extensions and am hoping I can put them to good use!

I've seen some cases where the php files have some odd spacing. Try copying the line directly from the file and pasting it in between the brackets.

If that doesn't work, attach the files in question to a pm and I'll sort it for you.

It's also possible that you have another vqmod that's modifying the same files. If that's the case, I'll need to see the VQcache files too.
