Cloning the Zone Based Rates Shipping Module?

[pe7er]

I tried to clone the Zone Based Rates Shipping Module but it does not work properly in the front-end.

The shipping module can be installed, it shows up at the back-end, and I was able to configure it.
But on the front-end, the Checkout Shipping does not continue to step 2 (it remains in Step 1 of 3 - Delivery Information).

I followed the steps Ajeh described in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26216
and copied the \includes\modules\shipping\zones.php to zones_es.php
and changed

class zones {

to

class zones_es {

and

function zones() {
$this->code = 'zones';

to

function zones_es() {
$this->code = 'zones_es';

and I replaced all occurences of

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_*

to

MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_ES_*

(e.g. MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_TITLE to MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_ES_TEXT_TITLE).

Furthermore I also cloned & changed the language file, and those labels are shown correctly at the front-end.

What did I do wrong? What did I forget during the cloning?

Try using zones is zoneses and ZONES is ZONESES the underscore is separating the word ZONE_ES and zones_es to conflict with zones and ZONES ...

Also be aware not all ZONES get touched ... some reference the "Zone" data itself ...

NOTE: if you are cloning for more Zones ... then stop ... read the information in the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/zones.php

on how to add more zones by changing a setting in the zones module itself and just REMOVE and INSTALL to build them ...

Thanks for your fast reply!

Aha, that could indeed be the problem! I will test it and post a followup with my findings...

I already successfully changed the zones to more zones. The reason I would like to clone the Zone Based Rates Shipping Module is that I have 2 different shipping methods / rates based on those zones.


Thanks again!

The problem was indeed caused by the underscore.

Changing all labels from *_ZONES_ES_* to *_ZONESES_* and the class & function name + "$this->code" contents from zones_es to zoneses solved the problem.

Thanks again for your help!
