FlatClone problems

[slickware]

Hi all. I've followed the directions from the flatclone readme (I thought I got everything). However, after I upload the flat.php files (renamed as flat2.php), and reload my shipping module, I receive this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class flat in /cart/includes/modules/shipping/flat2.php on line 23

I tried changing "class flat2 {", but that didn't work either.

This is incredibly frustrating. I don't understand why the shipping module would NOT have different shipping methods available by default!
Has anyone else had the error above? I would really appreciate getting this working.

Somewhere you have two files that state the class as flat2 ...

Usually this happens when a back up file is left on the server or when you have accidentally copied the code file into the language file ...

Do a search in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... for:
flat2

Where are these files and do you have two files in the:
/includes/modules/shipping
-- or --
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

that have flat2 in them?

Here's what I've got. No idea what this means.

As far as I can tell, I uploaded the correct flatclone files into the correct directories.

I even attempted to copy the "flat.php" file (the original, from the cart itself) and modify that the same way I modified the flatclone.php file - and it arrives at the same error.

I keep replying and my posts are disappearing... wtf?

You are new ...

You are moderated ...

You are now approved ...

Could you do a search on:
class flat2

And see what all comes up?

[slickware]

They're posted above... go hog wild...
Didn't realize it was being approved. It just looks like the forums are timing out, which is really strange...

[slickware]

I get the feeling my issue is arising from a miscommunication in the help file.

There appear to be three major things to replace:
1. The filename itself (flatClone.php -> flatYourName.php)
2. the id tag in (one file? or both files?) renamed to... what?
3. _FLAT_ (24 instances) renamed to ... what?

more clarification - the help file doesn't distinguish if the FILENAME and the _FLAT_ should both be the same thing?
ie: if I make the file name be "flat2.php" should I also replace _FLAT_ with _FLAT2_? or _flat2_?

The problem is ... in the flat.php around line 23 is:

  class flat {
    var $code, $title, $description, $icon, $enabled; 

In what you posted I should be seeing at least:
class flat2 {

[Ajeh]

Change all instances of:
flat

into the new name of the file to be:
flat2

NOTE: if you are calling the file flatfred.php then you would replace all occurances of flat with flatfred and FLAT with FLATFRED ...

NOTE: these are case sensative ...
