Flat rate module help

[circlegtractors]

Does anyone have a shipping module that is basically a copy of flat rate, that I can add to my site and rename it? Or anyone have any advice on how to copy a shipping module and make it work?

I found the thread on cloning shipping modules and I did so. When I go to modules/shipping under admin and try to install the new cloned module, I get this error

Warning: reset(): Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/content/c/i/r/circlegt/html/shop/admin/modules.php on line 279

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/content/c/i/r/circlegt/html/shop/admin/modules.php on line 280

I went to this file and went to line 279 and 280 and they look like this

reset($mInfo->keys);
while (list($key, $value) = each($mInfo->keys)) {


Is there anybody out there that is familiar with cloning that can help?

flat.php ===> flatsomething.php
flat ===> flatsomething
FLAT ===> FLATSOMETHING

Two files to clone:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php ===>
/includes/modules/shipping/flatsomething.php

/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php ===>
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flatsomething.php

That's about all there is to it ...

Sounds like you have errors somewhere, missing or mixed up files, typos, etc. etc. etc.

I am having a flat rate shipping error.

I have it configured to charge 8.50 per unit, It seems to be working properly, but there is the orange/yellow indicator that tells me it isnt.

I have it set-up as follows:

Flat Rate

Enable Flat Shipping
True

Shipping Cost
8.50

Tax Class
Taxable Goods

Tax Basis
Billing

Shipping Zone
New York ( New York )

Sort Order
1

I'm thinking it has to do with the Shipping Zone or sort order. I never have been able to figure exactly what the sort order is.

The Zone is triggering the orange dot to let you know that there is a "filter" or condition on the shipping module ...

The Sort Order is for the display order of the Shipping Modules when you have more than one ...

NOTE: Always be sure to set a Sort Order on ALL of the Modules, if you intend to set one of them ... otherwise, leaving the Sort Order at 0 will be okay on Shipping or Payment Modules ...

NOTE: Order Total Modules always need to have Sort Orders and usually the default Sort Orders are correct ...
