    help question Using .php code from another cart for multi-shipping?

    As I asked in my first post, I have a need to calculate UPS shipping from multiple dropship locations.

    We are currently using Digishop (a .php cart) where that feature works. See http://www.internet-grocer.net/store/cart.php if interested.

    *If* I can find that .php code in Digishop, could it be used in Zen Cart to achieve multi-ship UPS calculations?

    (I'm mostly .php-ignorant so I don't know if that code would be all-in-one-place--like a module--or would be scattered throughout the coding ... and thus be unusable.)

    Next question, if the code is module-like, is there anyone here who would show me how to "install" it, or be paid to do that?

    Thanks for your help!

    It's possible that the concepts could be adapted. But you won't be able to just "plug it in" by copying a few files.
    You'll need to do custom programming to make it work.

    Unfortunately you can't just "find that .php code in Digishop" and plug it into another cart. The code that powers the multi-ship logic is separated into classes (that do the actual work of connecting to UPS, figuring out rates, applying padding, etc.), templates (that actually display rates and allow the user to make his selection) and controllers (main level scripts that control the input/output of the classes and templates. Furthermore, the pieces are different depending on which portion of the cart you retrieve rates from (view cart, one page checkout, checkout payment, etc.). It would be pretty hard to gather all these pieces together and port them into another cart. You would need someone with a lot of PHP experience and preferably with prior DigiSHOP/ZenCart experience. Hope this answers your question :)
