If you're after the ability to get the TRACK IT! button working for Canada Post, would you mind posting a valid tracking number that I can use?

TIA

Ok, I've worked the Canada Post "Track It" template code out. I grabbed a consignment ID from a friend in Canada to test with.

In your canada_post.tpl in modules/Order_Tracking you need the code to be as follows:

{* $Id: canada_post.tpl,v 1.0 2008/09/26 14:07:32 twice Exp $ *}
<form name="basicPinForm" method="post" 
action="https://obc.canadapost.ca/emo/basicPin.do" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="trackingId" value="{$order.tracking}">
<input type="hidden" name="referenceNumberPressed" value="false"> 
<input type="hidden" name="trackingCode" value="PIN">
<input type="hidden" name="language" value="null">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="query">
<input type="hidden" name="fromPage" value="basicPin">
<input type="submit" value="{$lng.lbl_track_it|strip_tags:false|escape}" />
<br />
{$lng.txt_apost_redirection}
</form>

Hope that helps guys. For the life of me, I can't remember what ties the tracking template to the shipping method though. It was a while ago when I set up my shipping methods and my goldfish-memory is true to form.

Does anyone know what template / php / screen ties shipping methods to tracking templates?

In skin1/main/history_order.tpl find:

 
{if $active_modules.Order_Tracking ne ""}
{if $postal_service eq "UPS"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/ups.tpl"}
{elseif $postal_service eq "USP"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/usps.tpl"}
{elseif $postal_service eq "Fed"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/fedex.tpl"}

and change it to:

 
{if $active_modules.Order_Tracking ne ""}
{if $postal_service eq "UPS"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/ups.tpl"}
{elseif $postal_service eq "USP"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/usps.tpl"}
{elseif $postal_service eq "Fed"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/fedex.tpl"}
{elseif $postal_service eq "Can"}
{include file="modules/Order_Tracking/canada_post.tpl"}

Thanks to floyd_2 for the tracking code!

One more thing, in skin1/modules/Order_Tracking/canada_post.tpl, change

{$lng.txt_apost_redirection}

to

{$lng.txt_cpc_redirection}

Thanks imexhouse - the memories came flooding back when I read your post. I will now be able to sleep peacefully tonight without continuing to wonder where that template was

You're welcome

Here's an even better way to interface with TNT Australia for your tracking needs:

 
{* $Id: tnt.tpl,v 1.1 2008/09/26 14:07:32 twice Exp $ *}
<form id="Tracking" name="Tracking" action="http://www.tntexpress.com.au/InterAction/ASPs/CnmHxAS.asp?{$order.tracking}" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="{$lng.lbl_track_it|strip_tags:false|escape}" />
<br />
{$lng.txt_tnt_redirection}
</form>

Nice and neat, and it returns ONLY the tracking information, without any other TNT web page clutter.

There's no stopping you now!

Ok...this is my last word on the topic for the evening lol.

Here is a much tidier way of handling Couriers Please in Australia:

{* $Id: couriers_please.tpl,v 1.1 2008/09/25 14:07:32 twice Exp $ *}
<form name="barcode" action="http://www.couriersplease.com.au/track.php?printable=true&couponid={$order.tracking}" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="{$lng.lbl_track_it|strip_tags:false|escape}" />
<br />
{$lng.txt_cplease_redirection}
</form>

If you prefer a plain HTML result page without the Couriers Please banner on the top, just remove "printable=true&" and you'll get the plain result page. I figure that the printable version of the page with the Couriers Please logo on top is better for my customers.

Don't forget to go to Languages and add txt_cplease_redirection with appropriate text (like "You will be redirected to Couriers Please Delivery service site, by clicking this button."). Also update skin1/main/history_order.tpl using the post above by imexhouse as a guide.

Looks like I lied...this is really my last post for the evening. I have tidied up the CanadaPost code now - much better this way:

{* $Id: canada_post.tpl,v 1.1 2008/09/26 14:07:32 twice Exp $ *}
<form name="basicPinForm" action="https://em.canadapost.ca/emo_business/basicPin.do?language=en&trackingId={$order.tracking}&action=query&trackingCode=PIN" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="{$lng.lbl_track_it|strip_tags:false|escape}" />
<br />
{$lng.txt_cpc_redirection}
</form>

Thanks very much for the code Dean. I look forward to getting this implemented into my shop. Now I just need a few spare minutes...
