CS-Cart v3 and v4 use RateV4Request for domestic rate requests, but there's no telling if there isn't going to be some headaches come Sept 28th…
CS-Cart support does not consider USPS shipping updates to be critical, and they have never addressed them pro-actively. See their response to the changes that were coming last January:
http://forum.cs-cart.com/tracker/issue-4824-usps-web-tools-updates/
The last USPS Webtools update announced in August and implemented Sept 7th created errors and is discussed here:
Usps Changes...only Priority Mail Being Offered - Issues & Troubleshooting - CS-Cart Community Forums
Reported to CS-Cart here (still in Unconfirmed status): http://forum.cs-cart.com/tracker/issue-5249-usps-extra-serviceusps-tracking-error/
Do you know if cs-cart version 2.1.1 uses ratev3 or v4?
May have to do something quickly here
Thanks,
Daid
In my archives, I have a v2.1.2 version that used RateV3Request, and I have a v2.1.4 that used the RateV4Request.
So if your version is 2.1.1 probably not.
You can see for yourself in the file /shippings/usps.php
Look for this:
// Domestic rate calculation
$query=<<
If the file /shippings/usps.php does show V3, what will I need to do?
Maybe setup a manual method based on weight. Really hate to setup new site.
Thanks,
Dve
I logged into CS-Cart Help Desk and looked at the File Area > Updates
They have a few USPS Patches available but the oldest version they support with the patches is v2.2.4
Looking at it's contents, I don't know if it will work for you - there may have been changes made to the database that are not included in this patch.
I would make a backup of all the files that will be overwritten by this patch and give it a try. If it fails, then you can restore your original files.
This is one of those cases where it pays to keep your software up to date.
SOLVED.
I submitted a ticket to cs-cart. A day and a half later they said all was fixed on my site.
They made some changes to /shipping/usps.php file. I'll have to pull a copy from a backup to find out what was changed. If anyone needs this file, please let me know. This is for version 2.1.1
