Drop down option for a shipping modules - how best to add

[SarahL]

Seemed quite simple at the time - I am offering an free delivery option where items are dropped off at a school every Friday - then the parents can collect - now cloning the free shipping option (store pickup) was no problem BUT I only have 4 schools at present that I can deliver too and I want the people to select which school - I need this to be part of the order so that we know which school to take it too

How is this best done?

I woudl idealy like to have a drop down box displayed after that shipping section saying - pick a school - this is then stored in the order itself and display in the admin area and order email

Thanks
Sarah

does anyone have any ideas?

I am happy to pay for this to be created - so if I don't here anything I will post in contrib too - or PM me and we can talk...

First I was trying to figure out if it was possible!

Thank you

cloning the flat.php would be the cleanest method as it does not interrupt the other shipping modules or have any special features ...

Copy the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

to the files:
flatdrop1.php
flatdrop2.php
flatdrop3.php
flatdrop4.php

Copy the file:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php

to the files:
flatdrop1.php
flatdrop2.php
flatdrop3.php
flatdrop4.php


Change flat to flatdrop1
Change FLAT to FLATDROP1

repeat 4 times ...


Change language files to read how you want them to display ...

Install and configure with 0.00 ...

Voila!
