We've slightly updated Australia Post shipping module for version 3.6.

There were a problem with incorrect calculations of some items in the basket.
 
Solution
Those who use Australia Post shipping module and want to update it are welcome to download an updated version of the file from here: http://www.viart.com/downloads/australia_post.zip
 
Further, extract the above mentioned file into the 'shipping' folder of your shop replacing an existing one. Do not forget to make a backup copy of the current file in case something goes wrong.

Hi,
How exactly do I install a new Australia Post shipping module?
I downloaded the full shipping_3.6.zip module and copied all files correctly but Aust Post does not show up in the list of Shipping Methods and no API URL settings are available?.
Cheers

The zip file you downloaded is the php file for Australia Post and you also need the data.
 
Ive attached two files 1017 bytes - australia_post.txt which gives you the module data and australia_post_params.txt which puts the parameters in the module.
 
Go to Administration > System > DB Management and open the SQL Query window. Copy and paste the australia_post.txt contents into the window and run it. Do the same again for the parameters.
 
In Products > Shipping Methods you should now see Australia Post and its parameters linking to your php file.
 
(Sorry for the other txt file which I cant delete!!! )

Thanks Ned,
I restarted Apache also (std procedure).
 
By the look of things, I must manually add all the shipping methods I wish to make available to the customer. So, I'll need to know the Shipping Codes that are passed to Aust Post to calc my costs.
For example, just to name a few, I'll need shipping codes for:
Regular Satchel 500g
Regular Satchel 3kg
Registered Parcel 500g
Express Satchel 500g,
Express Satchel 3kg
Express Satchel 5kg
 
This mod' uses Aust Posts fullfillment house; edeliver.com.au to calc the rates. A quick scan of the edeliver pages indicates to me that the Shipping Codes listed in the 'notes' for this module are the only methods that edeliver use. Looks like this may be a problem for small shops that are using the AustraliaPost Post Office rather than edelivers fullfillment service. My live shop (zenCart) seems to use a third-party site dedicated for the ozpost:zencart module, which can only mean that austpost.com.au does not have a page of its own that eCommerce sites can access for postal cost calcs, (other than edeliver.com.au)
Is my understanding correct?
Cheers
