Your docs and comments in admin setup states that user will require a DCE Key for performing address validation lookup. which is found from the Delivery Choices api.

You will need to fill in the Australia Post Delivery Choices section to use the Australia Post address validation service.

however, speaking with austpost, they claim there is a seperate API for address lookups, and is not linked to Delivery Choices for address validation.

so, considering this: Is the Address Lookup/Validation of this module still functional, as it seems API's were changed at Austpost

a:5:{i:0;s:85:"Mage registry key "_singleton/australia/shipping_carrier_clickandsend" already exists";i:1;s:3559:"#0 /home/gooleys/public_html/dev/app/Mage.php(223): Mage::throwException('Mage registry k...')

Installed FA v3 on CE1.9 and this is what I get.

Click and send introduced a new column recently: ATL options.

It's missing from the module thus, when you import via Domestic / International the import fails as the column is not there.

The feed export is ignoring the Special Price date ranges.

Thus if a product is set to have a special price in the future, or if the Special Price To date is in the past, then the feed still sets the special price.

The end effect is that getprice lists the item with the special price, and not the real price.

You've got a syntax error on one of your install scripts on version 2.2.2:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in .../app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/sql/australia_setup/mysql4-install-2.2.2.php on line 89

When trying to insert without stock_id value, I get the below error

Cause:

Deprecated functionality: Function split() is deprecated in /home/erfan/sites/mhw/app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Australiapost.php on line 349

Please use preg_split or explode.

This is in the feed generators, in older versions exec() was used, but both function calls are widely blocked on shared hosting accounts.

The line in question in the current version is:
https://github.com/fontis/fontis_australia/blob/master/app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/FeedCronBase.php#L150

I've not yet gone through the whole thing to see what alternatives there may be, but as is the feeds don't work on hosts that have blocked these.

That's because the modman file is wrong: https://github.com/fontis/fontis_australia/blob/master/modman#L11

Total cart weight is cast as integer in Australiapost.php meaning weights are rounded down.
In the case of weight being under 1kg (e.g. 0.9kg) it is rounded into 0 and sent to the API as the following GET request: https://auspost.com.au/api/postage/parcel/international/service?country_code=JP&weight=0 which receives a 404 status code with the following content {"error":{"errorMessage":"Please enter a valid Weight."}}.
This is an issue as international orders under 1kg would not get any shipping options (unless using other methods).
In addition, casting to integer returns less inaccurate shipping estimations, in some cases resulting in underestimation of the cost.

As a temporary solution I have switched the type to string in both Australiapost.php and auspost-php-api service.json.

In the eparcel shipping method we can see that the tracking is properly implemented:

public function isTrackingAvailable()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function getTrackingInfo($tracking)
    {
        $result = $this->getTracking($tracking);

        if ($result instanceof Mage_Shipping_Model_Tracking_Result) {
            if ($trackings = $result->getAllTrackings()) {
                return $trackings[0];
            }
        } elseif (is_string($result) && !empty($result)) {
            return $result;
        }

        return false;
    }

However, in the Australia Post shipping method, it's not implemented whereas it should be using the same code (as both eparcel and auspost use the same tracking url aka http://auspost.com.au/track)

So I'm wondering if there's a good reason why this is not implemented ?

My understanding was that since magento CE 1.4/EE 1.8 the filepath for extensions to use for their theme related files has been frontend/base/default rather than frontend/default/default, certainly whenever I install this extension I have to change that as I'm never using the default interface and so none of the frontend behaviour comes through.
(see http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magentos-theme-hierarchy for the relevant discussion)

I see the modman file mapping does the same thing as well - so it makes sense to me to move all frontend to base/default all the time rather than rely on modman to fix it. That way the packaged version on connect will work with non-default interfaces for anyone that installs it via connect.

Australia post have updated their international shipping options http://auspost.com.au/pdfs/pac-api-update-2016.pdf this is active as of the 18th April 2016. The changes to the service codes mean none of the international options are valid.

I got it working by updating the file app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Australiapost.php with the following function (I didn't include any of the letter options, but they are outlined in the above pdf link:

    /**

     *

    public function getCode($type, $code='')

        /** @var Fontis_Australia_Helper_Data $helper */
        $helper = Mage::helper('australia');
        $codes = array(

Hi,

Can anyone help with this issue, have used Fontis on many sites yet i can't seem to work out the issue on this one, only get the error on shipping methods in the backend, using magento 1.9

public_html/app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Australiapost.php on line 66

I noticed on a fresh community 1.7.0.2 with the Fontis Australia extension that the feed generation fails on calling the "nonstatic()" method of the cron script.
The sample code from the Fontis Australia web page can be updated to call the "update()" function rather than the "nonstatic()".
I just updated the getprice generator cron code to look like this:
$model = Mage::getModel('australia/getprice_cron');

$model->nonstatic();

$model->update();

And it works fine.

Hello Fontis,

I have found following issue with your extension.
please change the field name either in mysql4-upgrade-2.2.1-2.2.2.php or in Eparcel.php

It is not working as expected and not importing csv files from admin config.

. " ADD charge_code_business VARCHAR( 50 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL"
);

line no 296

$data[] = array(

The feed is running and working but I have an issue with the products it is generating in my feed.

In my store, all of my simple products are attached to grouped products and when the feed runs, it is only picking up the grouped products and not the simple products at all (only picks up the simple products if I run a test and make a simple product not attached to a group product.

Am I missing something in the set up, or is there an issue with the extension?

Manual upload to a CE1.9 build.

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/gooleys/public_html/mage19/includes/src/../lib/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='/home/gooleys/public_html/mage19/includes/src:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gooleys/public_html/mage19/includes/src/Fontis_Australia_Model_Observer.php on line 23

Apologies if this shouldn't be logged here.

Hi @chnorton just wondering whether you had any plans to make this module (or a new version) compatible with Magento 2? Happy to collaborate as we start Mage2 projects in the next month or so just don't want to duplicate efforts.

On CSV import, the system.log fills up with this error and the admin silently ignores it, saying that the changes were successfully saved (which ofcourse isn't the case):

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'charge_codes_individual' in 'field list'

The error can be easily fixed if you edit the app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/Mysql4/Shipping/Carrier/Eparcel.php file and change the lines 307 & 308 into:

                            'charge_code_individual' => $csvLine[8],
                            'charge_code_business' => $csvLine[9]

some customers have unique charge costs for eParcel that are not included in Fontis_Australia_Helper_Eparcel::$chargeCodes. Options to fix this are either (a) add a System Config value for "allow custom charge code" which isValidChargeCode will check if charge code is not found in the private array, or (b) use config XML rather than a private array. Option (b) this would allow developers to specify charge codes in their own module's config.xml to validate the codes uploaded by administrators are still valid.

After changes made in issue #39 valid charge codes are now rejected.

Regards
Geoff

The SQL insert code was written based on the postcodes.txt file from v0.7 not the postcodes.csv file from v2.2.1, so if you hit the fallback of inserting postcodes rather than using LOAD DATA you crash in a big way.

I've reverted to the postcodes.txt file in this scenario, but assuming that postcodes.csv will be maintained in the future this isn't really the right way to go! Instead the csv rows should be parsed for field values to build the insert.

See: bdgeorge@1d8cfac
for my temp workaround.

Hi,

If I add more than 3kg to Mongolia, extension not showing Standard Post postage which is available in Auspost Website.

What could be the issue?

Fontis 3.4.5
Magento 1.9.3.6

Thank you.

As of 2nd April, Auspost we’ll be making some changes to the signature service in eParcel. This means that codes will change and the "isSignatureRequired" field will no longer be a Yes/No field.

Are you planning on upgrading the module to reflect these changes?

Please see below support materials:
https://auspost.com.au/content/dam/auspost_corp/media/documents/eparcel-shipping-and-tracking-fact-sheet.pdf

If you export from Magento then try to import via the Domestic/International option, the service code is missing if the shipping method is Express

1. Using basic import sheet with flat rate across all Aus: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah9guw-GP4jBdG5TVzRfU1RJZUdXeDl2VlVpa3Z4THc
2. Line 326 of Fontis_Australia_Model_Mysql4_Shipping_Carrier_Eparcel::uploadAndImport() converts wildcard postcodes to '0000'.

$dataLine['dest_zip'] = str_pad($postcode, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);

1. However there is no check for this four-zero postcode when searching for applicable methods - see line 61 of Fontis_Australia_Model_Mysql4_Shipping_Carrier_Eparcel::getRate()

The code currently only set the parameter to the initial value of the Shipping/Billing country. It should update each time the country is changed. I took the liberty of fixing. Here is the updated postcode-checkout.phtml

I have updated to the lastest version of Fontis Australia and wanted to run the cron for the feeds before the midnight set run time. Tried to run this as per your website:

if ($isBusinessCustomer) {

}
else {
return $rate['charge_code_individual'] ?:
Mage::getStoreConfig('doghouse_eparcelexport/charge_codes/default_charge_code_individual');
}

shouldn't it be

if ($isBusinessCustomer) {
return $rate['charge_code_business'] ? $rate['charge_code_business'] :
Mage::getStoreConfig('doghouse_eparcelexport/charge_codes/default_charge_code_business');
