Error cloning a shipping module

[brain21]

I followed the instructions here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...hipping+module

for cloning a module. I clone the UPS module, and renamed the 2 files to ups-canada.php

I renamed the class from ups to ups-canada and the SHIPPING_MODULE_UPS_ to SHIPPING_MODULE_UPS-CANADA in both file.

When I try to load up the shipping modules, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class ups in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connequestrian\store\includes\modules\shipping\ups.php

Line 447, btw, is a comment line.


Anyone got any clues???

Thanks,

The naming is crossing on UPS vs UPS-blah in the keys ...

[brain21]

What keys, where? You just spoke greek to me. :-)


Is there a specific line of code that you are talking about???

Thanks,

Change the UPS-CANADA to UPSCANADA and change ups-canada to upscanada and be sure to change the two filenames to upscanada.php as well ...

Did that. Still getting the same error. It is now loading the ups module, but the error is EXACTLY like it was before, only now the module is upscanada.php rather than ups.php. Same line and everything.

Here is the line its crapping out on (this time line 447 isn't a comment line):

$body_array = explode("\n", $body);

The php file itself can be gotten from my server:

ftp turdferguson.kicks-***.org

UID: guest
Passwd: guest

upscanada.php is the only file there

And since this site is censoring bad words, the site is not
.kicks-***.org
but
. k i c k s - a s s . o r g

Thanks,

OK, so I think maybe the error is actually on line 13 where the class ups is being called:

class ups extends base {

So I change it to this:

class upscanada extends base {

Save and reload the shipping module.

Well, now I am not getting those errors anymore. There is a new shipping module now showing.

The module title is blank. I click on it. The little window to the right has no title or text of any kind, but it does have an install button. I click on install.

Now I am getting the following error:

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connequestrian\store\admin\modules.php on line 279

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\connequestrian\store\admin\modules.php on line 280


Out of the fryingpan and into the fire.

I just don't get why this isn't easy. It is NOT uncommon for people to use different shipping rates to different countries for a single shipping method. In fact, when I was searching the forums I saw a number of posts from 2004 asking for this capability. If it's not built-in and we have to resort to manually cloning a module and then running into all sorts of cryptic errors & problems, and basically NO documentation in this crap, then why didn't the devs simply create a script & button. "Click here to clone a shipping module". Then it presents you w/ a drop down list of all of the installed modules. You select the one you want and enter in a new name for it, and viola! Done. Very frustrating....

Thanks for any help!
