Shipping module cloning

[jmp04]

Hi all.

Ive tried cloning the shipping module "table.php" into another one so that its "tableexpress.php" following the guide that the tutorial section points you to.

I mush be doing something wrong as when i upload the file to

includes/modules/shipping

im not getting the module appear in my shipping modules list, and it removes the right hand collum (that gives you the ability to edit settings) from the admin section.

Any ideas on what im doing wrong ?

Did you also create and upload a /languages/tableexpress.php file as well? If not, create one and upload it. (If I recall correclty the file doesn't need any data, it simply needs to exist).

Table Rate table can be a bit tricky as the word:
TABLE

is also used for other things such as the database tables ...

You might want to compare your customized file to the original file with something like Beyond Compare from scootersoftware.com and make sure that you did not change too many TABLE to TABLEEXPRESS ...

how does this software work and what does it do ?

im asuming it will check the functions and how they are working ?

It just compares two files and shows the differences ...

There is a Trial version that you can get ...

The purchased version allows a comparison from files on your computer to files on your server via FTP ...

Ahh okay.

Only problem there is, i dont know exactly which bits of table and TABLE i should be changing to tableexpress and TABLEEXPRESS, and i have both the docs open on my computer anyway saved as table and tableexpress so can flip between then easy enough (and i have 20/20 vision )

I think its a case of just not knowing which bits of text are functional and which bits correspond to the tableexpress module itself :S

If the table being referred to is a database table, then do not change its name ...

Examples:
TABLE_CONFIGURATION
TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES

are database tables ... don't change those ...

thank you for this.

I will try again and cross reference against someting like the "flat" shipping module as that will be easier to look at given theres no queries or functions under that name etc...

I have tried cross referenceing it but again to no avail.

I know im doing something wrong but i dont know what. Really stumped.
