Trouble cloning - incorrect values passed to the checkout_payment page

[bjornenke]

Hello,

I have almost successfully cloned the "flat" shipping module into what I am looking for - basically adding several price options instead of just one for each "flat" clone.

(For example, instead of just $5.00 flat, you can choose $5.00 flat 3 day, $8.00 flat for 2 day or $12.00 flat for next day)

Sample Code:

$methods = array();

$methods[] = array('id' => 'optionone',
'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_BEZONE4_TEXT_WAY,
'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_BEZONE4_COST);

$methods[] = array('id' => 'optiontwo',
'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_BEZONE4_TEXT_WAY2,
'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_BEZONE4_COST2);

$this->quotes['methods'] = $methods;

Everything seems OK on "Step 1 of 3 - Delivery Information". My new radio options show up and I've checked the code and their values seem good.

The problem I am having occurs on "Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information". The shipping option and price show the title and price of the first appearing radio option in my clone no matter which option is checked.

(For example, if there are three options A,B,C, and B or C is checked on "Step 1 of 3" - "Step 2 of 3" shows A as what was checked.


I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening and any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "flat" module was never built for multiple choices. Thus you may need to look at another module for inspiration on what additional changes you'll need to make to accommodate for multiple selections to remember what was chosen.

USPS generates a list of radio buttons based on available services, and then remembers the selected choice between pages. You might find some helpful code in that module, which you could adapt for use in your custom module.

You might peek at these Flat modules in the Downloads:

Thanks a for the quick replies.

I tried building a clone off of the USPS module but had the same problem with the shipping page in that it was not passing the correct options to the checkout/payment page. But that did steer me in the right direction.

I checked out a few of the modules on the page suggested by Ajeh and the "static list" module ended up being exactly what I was looking for. =)

Thanks again to both of you!
