Before I can begin evaluating VM2 under Joomla 1.7, I need to know if it already has real time shipping quotes from UPS and/or USPS?
Thanks.
It's not in the current release (RC3) and I haven't heard of anyone building this plugin yet.
I would also love to know if someone is developing this! This is really important for our store
I might be interested in doing some dev work on this. I would need to work with someone who knows something about it. I guess I would need some credentials to the service, and some description on how it should work. The VM1 plugin would also be useful.
I will be interested in this in the near future. For now, I decided to offer free shipping... ;)

Has any work begun? Maybe you could develop it and release it as a commercial plugin , I would definitely buy it. ;D

I would buy it too. This is a requirement for the store I am building so I am currently S.O.L.
count me in on paying for development of this. i'm rather surprised that it's not in 2.0!
It's a major issue.
I contact the folks at the plugin for VM 1.1.x that does this and this was their response:
QuoteTo answer your first question: yes, our shipping extension allows you to tether your UPS account to VirtueMart so that you can get accurate UPS shipping prices based on weight and distance.
At the moment, our shipping extensions only support VirtueMart 1.1.x (I'm assuming you meant VirtueMart rather than Joomla). However, we do hope to provide support for VirtueMart 2.0 in the future. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Julian Sherr
DCJ Cool Tools Support
I suggest everyone petitioning them for an update: helpdesk@dcjcooltools.com
I have just emailed them, hopefully they develop it soon. Im surprised alot of developers are not jumping on the demand of a plugin for UPS, I would be willing to pay a premium for this plug in.
Comon devs - supply and demand, simple economics. ..lol
QuoteHello,
Thank you for your inquiry. We do plan on updating our shipping plugin to support VirtueMart 2.0 in the near future, as we have had many requests; however we don't have an ETA at the moment. Would you like me to include you on a mailing list for when it becomes available?
Please people, email them so we can get it developed!!
joomlacache.com will develop it, hope to complete by the end of the month if not distracted.
it will have to be commercial though to cover my programmers time.
Great, is there a newsletter where i can sign up to receive updates on this plugin?
due to forum rules, i am not allowed to promote it or i will be banned
i can make it and distribute it, but i cant tell anyone any more about it, or even how to get it or that it exists through the forum
Is it because you are the developer? Thats wierd! If I find it can i mention it here, or will I be banned?
I noticed a developer in this forum promoting his plugin for Authorize.net, nothing was done to him. How about you PM'ing me where I can get it from. Much Appreciated
yes you can post away i can't
i will pm you when its done
Has there been in progress on the development of the UPS plugin for VM 2.0?
Thanks
Joe
you can mention i cant
it will be released next week
That's good news. I have a site ready to launch but i'm at a stand still unless I can get this plugin working correctly. Please let me know if you need any assistance of a tester for the plugin.
Thanks again
Joe

Hi,
The UPS shipment plugin is available here:
http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/ups-detail

Valarie,
I looks like the cart is not working on the site. I can't add it to the cart either on IE or Firefox
Joe
I registered first than I was able to add to cart. Now I have the plugin but don't see how to install it. The existing zip file contains the XML installer which I rezipped and tried to install via the extension installer with no success. What is the process for getting the plugin working and installed.
Thanks
Joe
Hi,
You have a tutorial here http://extensions.virtuemart.net/tutorials/ups-united-parcel-services
Thanks for the info. So a couple of problems I see so far. The installer has a subfolder with the installer xml file in it so the Joomla installer throws and error because it can not find the XML file. So I extracted it and re zipped the folder, now I'm able to get the installer to run however when I go to step 2 to select UPS it is not showing up
Joe
Got the plugin installed it was throwing an error looking for LOGO_L.gif
<media folder="images" destination="../images/stories/virtuemart/shipment">
<filename>LOGO_L.gif</filename>
<filename>LOGO_M.gif</filename>
<filename>LOGO_S.gif</filename>
These images did not exist but did exist it plugin folder so I copied them to the root of the folder and rezipped the installer which allowed it to install successfully.
Joe
Error while selecting shipping
Fatal error: Call to undefined method VirtueMartModelVendor::getVendorAdressBT() in /home/naturalp/public_html/plugins/vmshipment/istraxx_ups/istraxx_ups.php on line 1034
Hi,
Please note that the UPS shipment plugin as mentionned here http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/ups-detail only works with VirtueMart 2.0.3 I or higher.
Thanks Valarie I missed that I just upgraded to 2.3j an everything appears to be working fine.
Please look at the previous thread for the installer issues and how I resolved them.
Thanks again for your help
Joe
