Adding 2 more flat rate shipping modules

[metasilk]

p.s. here's the code in my closed flat shipping file as I am stumped by it (basing my attempts on Ajeh's reply to another post here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...4&postcount=5:)

 // moderately experimental change by kjt 09.15.2011
      global $cart;
        // category IDs: 19 (Patterns), 25 Bags, 23 Cardigans, 20 Hats, 26 Mittens, 27 Scarves, 24 Socks, 21 Sweaters, 29 Vests as of 9/15/2011
      $chk_cat1 = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','20'); // counts how many are of the Hats category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','26'); // counts how many are of the Mittens category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','25'); // counts how many are of the Bags category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','23'); // counts how many are of the Cardgans category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','27'); // counts how many are of the Scarves category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','24'); // counts how many are of the Socks category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','21'); // counts how many are of the Sweaters category
      $chk_cat1 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','29'); // counts how many are of the Vests category

      $full_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents(); // counts number of items in the cart in total

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
      // also disable if cart contents include not-patterns or too many patterns
       if (($chk_cat1 != $full_cart) || ($full_cart > 5)) { 
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLATpattUSPri_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
        }
      }

       if (($chk_cat1 != $full_cart) || ($full_cart > 5)) {

This checks your specific categories and turns off if:

1 the total cart content does not equal the checked categories so if the number of items in the checked categories is 1 and the full cart is 2 it is off, meaning something is in the cart that is not in the checked categories

2 the total number in the cart regardless of what it is is greater than 5 so if the checked categories is > 5 it turns off or if the combination of things checked and not checked is > 5 it turns off

Thank you so much - the simplest clearest instructions I've seen in a long time!

I just created four clones of the flat rate, edited, uploaded and installed the modules, and they all worked perfectly first time - an unusual enough scenario when trying something new!

[Ajeh]

Thanks for the update that this is helped you out ...

I've followed the instructions and changed the module and the languages files. Everything in them says flatsml or FLATSML but when I copy them to the areas by ftp and go and refresh the admin, nothing happens.

[Ajeh]

Could you look in your directory:
/cache

and see what debug logs are generated and what the errors are?

[amyleew]

Wow. I didn't know there was an error report... what a great tool.

I just did what you said and corrected the line it had a problem with and now it appears in the list in shipping modules in admin but the two fields with name/descriptions are blank and it just has the red stop light as the only thing in the line.

I clicked install on the that line but it didn't work.

[Ajeh]

Kind of odd ...

Can you post the two files that you created?

[amyleew]

I'm getting three errors now.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class flat in /home4/occxxxp2/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/flatsml.php on line 11

On line 11 there is this -

class flat {
var $code, $title, $description, $icon, $enabled;

Do I put a sml there for flatsml or leave it blank?

I don't know how to post or attach the whole files unless I just paste them in a post.

ALL of the flat become flatsml and ALL of the FLAT become FLATSML ...
