UPS High Level View

[Guest Denver Dave]

Would someone mind describing a general high level view of how the UPS shipping module is supposed to work?

What is CC supposed to do and how does it interface with UPS?

Also, how do we tell the UPS module what countries that we ship to ? It does not seem to accept the Category countries, but that didn't seem to do anything and the 5 digit store zipcode in the UPS module and that did not seem to help.

Many thanks.

This is interesting, is it related to what we need for CC?

Does anyone have UPS shipping mod working for v 3.0.3 ?

I thought we'd have a high level view about how UPS works in this post, but instead, perhaps a summary of the posts where CC 3 users are struggling with UPS might be useful:

Anyone have UPS working?

Here appears to be the guts of the UPS price quote from UPS.php in the modules / UPS about line 158:

function getQuote(){

$upsAction = "3"; // You want 3. Don't change unless you are sure.

$url = join("&",

array("http://www.ups.com/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi?accept_UPS_license_agreement=yes",

"10_action=$upsAction",

"13_product=$this->upsProductCode",

"14_origCountry=$this->originCountryCode",

"15_origPostal=$this->originPostalCode",

"19_destPostal=$this->destPostalCode",

"22_destCountry=$this->destCountryCode",

"23_weight=$this->packageWeight",

"47_rateChart=$this->rateCode",

"48_container=$this->containerCode",

"49_residential=$this->resComCode"

)

);

$fp = fopen($url, "r");

while(!feof($fp)){

$result = fgets($fp, 500);

. . . . . .

I wonder if someone could give example values for a request that works?
