Payment Module Cloning Question.

[StevenB]

Hello,

I have read and used Ajeh's excellent post on cloning the flat rate shipping, And I would like to do the same with the check/money order payment module.

Can any module be cloned or specifically the check/money order payment module?

Thanks in advance for any response,

Steve

As check/money order is not a true gateway with another system, but rather gathers just the bare info of saying "The check is in the mail ...", then it could be cloned in the same manner as Flat Rate flat shipping module where, if the cloned filename is:
flatusa

it would use:
flatusa for flat
FLATUSA for FLAT

so Check/Money Order moneyorder would use for a clone called:
somethingelse.php

and it would use
somethingelse for moneyorder
SOMETHINGELSE for MONEYORDER

Thank you Linda,

"Bare info" is exactly what I need.

You are most welcome ... glad that this was able to help you in cloning a payment method ...

Dang,
I always get confused on the template overrides.

I know the altered language file goes to /cart/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/MY_TEMPLATE/moneyorder.php but where do I place the altered /cart/includes/modules/payment/moneyorder.php ?

My brain just doesn't get the override file structure.

Thanks for any help,

Steve

If you're cloning, then you're creating a new module, with new filenames, so there's no need to do overrides.
