More payment options based on check and money order

[martyndw2005]

Hi,

We currently offer check and money order payment method on our website using zencart 1.3.7.1. This has been renamed and configured for the following methods of payment in one
postal order/ bacs / Telephone order

however we would like to have these options split ie create new modules from the check and money order files:-

postal order
bacs
telephone order

I have looked through the forum and cant see how i could do this by cloning the money order payment option or by other means.

So i looked here:-

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...ayment_Classes
did not find a solution here

Then I looked in the zencart book (e-start your web store with zencart) i could see the payment options available pages 140-152 but no information on creating another option from the check and money order payment option.

I would like to know if i copy
The payment class is stored in

includes/modules/payment/<module name>.php


while all text is stored in the appropriate language file

includes/languages/<current language>/modules/payment/<module name>.php

and rename them for what i want and configure the different options like the text shown displayed is that going to provide what i want or will i cause problems with the programming?

if you want to see what i mean here is the website http://www.beeunique.co.uk/

regards

Martyn

As well as copying the payment class, you need to carry out a few slight changes.

IMPORTANT - The filename controls everything and can only be made up of alpha-numeric characters - no spaces, symbols or underscores.

1 - change the CLASS NAME, within the class file. This needs to be EXACTLY the same as the filename.
2 - change the CLASS FUNCTION name, which needs to be same as the filename.
3 - change the CLASS CODE variable, which is defined with $this->code = 'xxxxxx'; and is located in the first function. This CLASS CODE variable, again, MUST be the same as the filename.
4 - All constants must be changed, where they are inserted into the database. For instance, if you are copying the cc.php file, you would find a constant in the configuration table called MODULE_PAYMENT_CC_STATUS. If you are going to copy this module, you MUST change the constants throughout, so this one for example could be replaced with MODULE_PAYMENT_YOUR_MODULE_NAME_STATUS.
This is vital, as if you leave these in, and they exist in another module, all payment modules using the same constants may become unstable, and stop functioning.
