What's the best way to duplicate the "storepickup" shipping module?

[organicplanet]

Howdy!

I have multiple drop sites for customers to pick up products. What is the best method of duplicating the "storepickup" shipping module so I can modify them to reflect the different pick up sites for my customers?

Thanks in advance!

Do a search on:
clone flat
clone item

to see how this works ...

If you do not want any of the Store Pickups to be a default choice, as 0.00 is lowest, you will also need to customize the file:
/includes/classes/shipping.php

around lines 163 to 168 ...

Thanks for the reply!

I cloned both flat.php files and
replace the "flat" and "FLAT" with "mystuff" and "MYSTUFF"
FTP'd them into the appropriate files on my server.

I can see them in the admin shipping modules and
"install" and modify it.

But when I try to test it in my store
the checkout process totally bypasses the shipping part of check out and
goes directly to the payment part of the check out process.

Did I miss something?

Also I am confused about this part of your post:

Thanks for the help,

Are your products marked as Virtual or Downloads ...

[organicplanet]

Product was marked as virtual. That fixed it!

My next question is since I have the "flat.php" files altered, and
shipping is always free because the customer is picking up the products at their drop sites
is there a way to get rid of the "$0.00" on the right side of the shipping section?

Thanks!

You'd have to do more customization to the code to make it not read the value of $0.00 ...

Store Pickup reads as $0.00 as well ...

This could be done in the module for the ot_shipping.php ...

[organicplanet]

well I went to the "ot_shipping.php" files, both of them, and this tweek is beyond my skill level...I'm completely clueless here, can someone help me out here?

Usually I can futz around enough to get most done, but this one is out of my league.

Thanks again, in advance,
Jane

Look at this function:

    function process() {
      global $order, $currencies;

        $this->output[] = array('title' => $order->info['shipping_method'] . ':',
                                'text' => $currencies->format($order->info['shipping_cost'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                                'value' => $order->info['shipping_cost']);
    }

You need to catch the value of the $order->info['shipping_cost'] for when it is 0.00 ...

Example:

    function process() {
      global $order, $currencies;

        $this->output[] = array('title' => $order->info['shipping_method'] . ':',
                                'text' => ($order->info['shipping_cost'] == 0.00 ? 'I am Free!' : $currencies->format($order->info['shipping_cost'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value'])),
                                'value' => $order->info['shipping_cost']);
    }

I tried your suggestion in the "includes/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php" file.

I could see no difference in the way the page was displayed.

Sorry to keep bugging ya on this... I want to learn and understand this, Maybe just a little more detail.

I appreciate it.

Have you an URL to a Product that you are testing this with that we could perhaps peek at?
