Questions from Comments:

Copper3315:
Purchased your mod today but I'm not seeing any of the commercial rates in my USPS extension choices. How will your mod display them if I can't choose them first?

Per the description, this mod forces the commercial rates to be displayed when they are available for a particular shipping method. There are no options to choose.

Copper3315:
I am receiving the following error when your mod is installed.

Trying to get property of non-object in /opencart/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_model_shipping_usps.php on line 394

Using version 1.5.5.1

Please reply with line 394 of that file, please.

After looking at your code I discovered the following. You set $cost equal to the commercial rate but if the commercial rate isn't set the error I posted above occurs. So I removed your code and entered the following.

if(isset($postage->getElementsByTagName('CommercialRate')->item(0)->nodeValue)){
$cost = $postage->getElementsByTagName('CommercialRate')->item(0)->nodeValue;
}
else{
$cost = $postage->getElementsByTagName('Rate')->item(0)->nodeValue;
}
}
It is working now.

I would like a refund since your code didn't work properly.

Apparently I didn't upload the latest version, as I already fixed that error.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I don't think this issue would qualify for a refund, especially since you didn't give me a chance to address the issue.

That's interesting you don't know of the error until I point it out to you. You didn't answer me for two days which forced me to solve the problem myself. And when I give you the fix you then issue an update which is my fix. You then still refuse to issue me a refund.

For anyone looking at this mod be aware it only changes two lines of code one of them is the fix I listed above. The other is changing the service type from "all" to "online".

As I stated, I had already fixed your issue and simply had not updated the download.

Had you responded to my request to post the appropriate line from your VQMod cache file when I requested it on October 29th (literally within a couple of hours), I would have immediately solved your issue. You failed to do so. I promise the $7 I made from your purchase isn't an enormous issue. I do, however have an issue with your unwillingness to allow me to help and then your decision to run off at the mouth. Again, I apologize for my mistake and your inconvenience.

Additionally, posting the details of the code in a commercial extension may have repercussions that you haven't considered, even if what you posted is factually inaccurate.

Whether you choose to request a refund on the extension page is up to you. I don't have the ability to do so, anyhow.

If you request a refund on the product page, I will advise OpenCart to process it, provided you remove the code details of this mod from this thread.

You didn't answer in a couple of hours. I posted my problem in the extension area. You removed my comments in the extension area and posted them here two days later.

As for posting code from a commercial mod I had found the "all" to "online" solution from a thread here before I found your mod.

The other code was the fix to your problem.

The above thread actually shows how to display the commercial rates. The value of your mod is that you rolled it into a vqmod. I didn't display any of your vqmod.

At this point it isn't worth $15 to carry this any further.

Have a nice a day.

As I said before, I would advise OpenCart to refund your money providing you removed the pertinent info. Go to the extensions section, request your refund, get your money back.

I did in fact respond quickly, moving your questions here, where they belonged as well as posting notification of the move in the extensions section. I apologize again for your inconvenience, and am more than willing to admit this wasn't an ideal situation, and would like to resolve it to your satisfaction.

I am not concerned with the money, and I can easily provide a file timestamped to how you that I had already fixed this issue well before your post here this morning. Whatever the appearances, I assure you that I am not acting in bad faith.

I hope you have a nice day as well.
