Can I duplicate the Table Rate module?

[SquareDorito]

I tried making a table2 and copying changing all the tables in the code to table2 and TABLE2, but it didn't work. This worked with the Flat Rate shipping module. Is there a reason I can't do this with the Table Rate? When I try it the modules below it don't show up in Zen Cart and I won't let me configure the ones that do show up

You have to be careful in the Table Rate table code as the word TABLE also refers to database tables and not every instance gets changed ...

You might peek at this Add On for Table Rate Clones I think this is the one that I made cloning Table Rate table shipping module:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=720

Awesome! Thanks a lot, got the second Table Rate I needed.

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this worked for you ...

You might use something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com and see where you went astray with your file compared to the cloned copies ...

Thanks! Much appreciated, I'll check that out

Hi fellows,
I'd like to know, is Table Rate Clone from 7 Jul 2012 working with ZenCart v1.5.1?

Best regards, Zi.

That should work fine with v1.5.1 ...

Hello again,

Is it possible to tweak/modify the table rate module, and to set the shipping cost to be based on Weight AND % of the Price.
The reason is that the courier companys are charging weight and Cash on Delivery tax. Here in Bulgaria we usually use Cash on Delivery peyments, the online payments are not really popular yet.

Sorry if the question is irrelevant for this topic.

Regards, Zi.

That can be done by editing the shipping module:
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

and adding the code in RED, for example to add 10% of the total, to the shipping cost:

// bof: percentage cost
    $order_total = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices();
    $extra_cost = round($order_total * .10,2);
//echo '$shipping ' . $shipping . ' $extra_cost: ' . $extra_cost . ' = ' . round($shipping + $extra_cost,2) . '<br>';
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
    'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE . $show_box_weight,
    'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
    'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
    'cost' => $shipping + $extra_cost + (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING) ) ));
// eof: percentage cost

Thanks a lot Ajeh,

The code is working . One more thing, how can I change the percent value?

    $extra_cost = round($order_total * .10,2); 

I tried to replace th digits 10 but I don't think this is the correct way.
