CanPar Shipping Module

[lowmips]

Public Release
I'm happy to announce the public release of CanPar version 2010.04.15, brought to you by Midnight Illusions Ltd. and Lowmips.com.

Note: I have attached the installation files to this post.

Versions

vm114-CanPar.2010.04.15.zip
This module is based on VirtueMart 1.1.4 code, and adheres to the simple "Drop In" concept of shipping modules for VirtueMart. Installation is as simple as copying the files to your server.  This module offers:
- "Virtual" package creation for orders exceeding the CanPar max weight.  If the user has a cart with heavy items, the order will be split into several "virtual packages" and each package's weight queried for rates.
- mod_virtuemart_currencies support. Show your prices in the correctly converted currency your user has chosen.
- Service prefix option.  CanPar services are like "Ground", the service prefix allows you to easily  turn it to "CanPar Ground", or whatever you desire.  The default is "CanPar".



Updates

2010-05-17
- Modified certain class files so that this module will work with my other shipping modules
- re-download the zip file and replace all files with the updated versions. You may skip canpar.cfg.php.

I Installed the Canpar Module by Reggie with no problems, but I am getting the following error? I am not sure how to use it /or i need to change something with  products etc?

Can anyone help please, any clue, its Urgent

Hi,
Have you done the basic debugging step of configuring VirtueMart with DEBUG mode on?  This is in the main configuration.  Then, in the CanPar shipping module configuration, check the "Show Extra Debug" option.
Once both configurations are done, try the checkout again.  Note any error messages or other info and post it here.

In debug mode it said "Debug: Using the cURL library for communicating with www.canpar.com 4 times

[lowmips]

No other info? That's it?

Can you post EXACTLY the debug info?

[sainijasdeep]

Actually it asked for weight of product before, i changed it  and made it 1, then it gave this error,
Also I am not sure where is "CanPar shipping module configuration, check the "Show Extra Debug" option."?
 Is there a separate module installation needed, I just unzip the files and put on my server as instructed.

I think I resolved it , I changed the address of both customer and merchant  with proper postal codes, it worked , gave me rates. thanks Reggie, without you it was not possible

[lowmips]
