I have just uploaded a long overdue update to the Fontis Australia extension. The big new feature is that it actually uses the postcode database that has been in there for the few versions! When entering the city in an address, such as when editing your address book or during checkout, you should now be prompted to select from a list of cities matching the text entered, along with the states and postcodes for those cities. Selecting one will fill out the state and postcode fields accordingly.
The latest version (0.8) of the Fontis Australia Extension has been uploaded to Magento Connect. From my testing, there wasn’t anything that needed to be changed for compatibility with 1.1 – the minor changes were just functionality tweaks.
The latest version of the Australia extension, 0.6.0 in my arbitrary number scheme, was uploaded to Magento Connect this morning. The major change for this version was the inclusion of a Paymate payment method. There were also numerous bug fixes and minor improvements.
I am having some issues with the Magento translation tool – mostly that it doesn’t allow for version 1.0 translations – so I am posting this unofficial translation here. It’s fairly complete spelling-wise and is only lacking a look over for grammatical changes and places where entirely different words are used, rather than just a spelling change. An example that springs to mind is “State/Province” possibly being changed to “State/Territory”.

I got BPAY working last night and have added it, as well as the direct deposit functionality created previously, to the Australia module page on the Fontis site. Hopefully the instructions are clear enough: the module as a whole is started to get more complicated now that I had to start defining custom template files.
