Need Developer for FedEx LTL Freight Shipping Module

[curtisus]

We are looking for a developer to make a FedEx LTL Freight shipping module for VirtueMart. This should be simpler than the standard FedEx shipping module. The module needs to get a realtime quote from the FedEx server and integrate the shipping price in to the checkout process with VirtueMart.

I will provide a PDF from FedEx that describes the process. You post an HTTP request with some paramaters to a FedEx URL (don't even have to have an account number for it to work). You get the info back formatted as XML. You would need to parse this and use the shipping price quote for the shipping price in VirtueMart.

I have a very short time frame for this 2-3 weeks max. It seems like a fairly simple module for an experienced developer. Please reply if interested.

Scott, I need this also. Did you ever get this request answered?

Thanks,

I have completed this and tested it for US needs.  I don't think it is coded well enough to handle all of the needs of International shipping.  There may be some problems to if someone's CURL did not work just right.  I have commented out the alternative method of querying FedEx.

Does seem to be working for me.  Please let me know if you would like it and I'll try to post the necessary code.  English.php has to be updated for the configuration screen to work right.

Now let's jump 3 years in the future and ask if anyone has developed this and is it for VM 1.1.5?  I only need something to retrieve LTL costs and possibly converge with the Fedexv2 by lowmips so that the product will ship from my manufacturer(Dropshipping).  Also cost estimates to have it developed, thanks!

I have an up to date version that has been customized for a couple of clients.  Contact me if you would like to talk about getting it setup for your shop.
I'm not sure about the integration steps you are talking about.  I would need to find out more about that.

I have cut back my hours severely and do almost no programming these days except as necessary.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas, please tell me you still have this. it's exactly what i need to not get fired :/ or anyone else?

[thomas_freeman]

Yes - I still have it.  It does depend on your specific installation regarding how it works so you may need help setting it up.  I sent it to you via private email.  Let me know if you need help.

had to change this
defined('_VALID_MOS') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.');
to
if( !defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) && !defined( '_JEXEC' ) ) die( 'Direct Access to '.basename(__FILE__).' is not allowed.' );

everything looks fine but i get no shipping method showing at checkout. if ya have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
