Hi Guys,

Just a small thing, in my new site (Joomla5+) I am trying to install the usps advanced. I am assuming from the J2Commerce documentation the usps plugin should be lurking around in my exstension manager.

https://docs.j2commerce.com/j2commerce/shipping-methods/usps-advanced is the page I am refering to.

I looked in the extension manager and it is not installed there. I looked on the USPS site and found I could not just access an postal shippping app.

I have a running (Joomla 3) site already using this app, so I looked in the extension manager and of course it is present and working. I am already signed up with the USPS so I expected to be able to move my account numbers to activate the usps plugin, as I already have done with the Canadian postal app. 

Wondered if you had any suggestions for me. To download from somewhere or copy from the running site the USPS extension.

Oh by the way the link "add more shipping methods" on the shipping methods page is unfortunately returning a 404 page.

Really happy with the J2Commerce by the way, 

James 

Hi Adam,

I would be more than happy to install the beta version, glad I can do something usefull for you. The version of your J2commerce is 40.10 pro. 

The version of the USPS app is the "advanced" in my live site and I want to continue using it in the new site. I will keep notes on installing the app and of course let you know how it goes. 

Thanks for the help,

James

Thank you Adam,

I will keep in touch

Hi Adam,

I installed the USPS pro app in my Joomla 5 - J2Commerce site using the same information as my older live site that is using the same app. 

I went fine, and it says it is enabled, but it is wanting a License key entering in the box at the head of the page. Just above the API username and postal code. I put in what I think is my Licence key, (this was last used 20 yrs ago when the site was built) I'm supprised I still have the notebook it is written in. 

I'm wondering if Is there an API I have to get or download that I have missed? I am not sure how to check that. 

Thanks

James 

As I don't need the licence key I made a customer (A USA one) and went right though the checkout and got as far as the checkout page, confirming the shipping address, clicking the "Continue" button to move to the "Shipping and payments" does not go to the page. But does try to connect I can see the little cirular arrow moving for a moment then nothing.

I checked the Joomla users for the "customer" and he was entered in there also entered in the J2Commerce Customers. Then I closed the site.

But unfortunately when I went to the site (frontend) I realized I should login as the customer. But I cannot get the Login module to appear in the front end, even though it is set to published its position is login, so I tried different positions to no avail. This is a Joomla module I assume?

So I can't sign in to continue my customer shopping. I can't tell if the cart held the order though the users and customers are still in there.

Hi Adam,

I sent it to your e-mail account.

Hi Adam,

Thank you very much everything seems to be working ok. Now I need to read up on the menu types as well as a few other things. 

My live site was built using Joomla 2 and the orginal J2store a long time ago and just kept getting updated and not really changed. It just keeps working. Now I'm playing catch-up, with Joomla 5.

Again thank you kindly.

James
