How do we do this within cubecart? Anyone know????

Yes - I also need help with this probelm...

Bump - anyone figure out how to send a test to the USPS server yet?

Email them directly, and they will test it for you..

Ok, just did that, what are they going to use to test it? Will they need access into my website?

See this thread

This what USPS wants tested. Only problem is that CubeCart doesn't have an "ounces" field.

Thats why you get them to test it for you, or simply input the XML code yourself.

i wrote to cust service and said:

"Im using a ecommerce software that has a USPS software, it would be out of the way for me to use the test server so can you please add me to the production server

Thanks,

Mitch"


they did as i asked within 24 hours.

Good to hear, are you having any other issues with it.. cause once I got that working, I ran into all SORTS of wierd issues with the USPS stuff that I will drop here for documentation sake and hopefully help any other people if they get the issues.

I have found a couple of errors that I have submitted using the bug tracker. There looks to be an error in the way CubeCart is sending the XML sheet to USPS when you have more then one USPS shipping type available. [From what I see, it looks like the XML datasheet is closing itself out too quickly.]

Anyways, here is what I found



This happens if you are offering more then one shipping level on USPS. If you look at the XML send, you can see that </RateV2Request> is being sent twice without reopening it. Thus the XML data sheet errors out on the USPS side.

You may also get this error when trying to use Parcel Post in the USPS Module.



On line 130 there is this entry in calc.php in the USPS Package
'zipdest' => $$zipdest,
By changing it to this fixes the problem
'zipdest' => $zip_dest,

PS - As a side note, due to the amount of time the USPS Module takes to actually fetch it's rates [I assume this is a USPS issue], is it possible that cube cart could display a screen that simply says "Please wait while we calculate the shipping options available for your order"?

actually; yeah I am having a issue with it...when I try to checkout it gives me "USPS::submit_request: domxml_open_mem is uncallable"...Haven't played with it too much yet but i heard somewhere that webhost has to do something.

Cal.php reads as follows

'zip_dest' => $zip_dest,

Should it be

'zipdest' => $zip_dest,

Man HELP?
I keep getting same errors as others have had.

Keep getting same error:

USPS::submit_request: domxml_open_mem is uncallable

Any help?

this might be fixed tomrrow or sunday when .5 is released.

This is not something cubecart can fix, since this is actually an error in your PHP install. Make sure you have the PHP domxml plugin installed. This is something you will need to check with your server host.

That was it I had my host install domxml plugin and now its working!

Thanks guys.
