Overrides directory question about free shipping text.

**Ajeh** · 8 Jun 2012, 02:02 PM

NOTE: On the Payment, Shipping and Order Total Modules, only the language files have overrides ...

The code files do NOT have overrides ...

On the file:
/includes/languages/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

what are you trying to overrides that is not working ... what is the condition that makes the shipping Free?

Hello Linda and thank you for taking the time to reply again.

As I mentioned in my first post in this thread I wanted to change the text from the default wording which says:

Free shipping for orders over %s

which is located in this file:

/includes/languages/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

to

Your order qualifies for free shipping as the total is over %s

by placing the ot_shipping.php file inside an over rides directory like so:

/includes/languages/modules/order_total/MYTEMPLATE/ot_shipping.php

The condition that makes it free shipping is when the order totals over $200.00.

I don't know what else to say as I have tried this numerous times to get this to work in an over rides directory but it doesn't. It only works if I change the text in the main file located here.

/includes/languages/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

Hope this makes sense.

I understand how the over rides directory works and I have used it a number of times in the past without any problems. But for some reason it doesn't seem to work with the text changes I have made to the files that control what is said on this page.

For example I used the Developers Tool Kit to find "Free shipping for orders over" and the search told me that this text is in the following three files:

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/languages/english/checkout_shipping.php

Line #30 : // when free shipping for orders over $XX.00 is active

Line #32 : define('FREE_SHIPPING_DESCRIPTION', 'Free shipping for orders over %s');

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

Line #26 : define('FREE_SHIPPING_DESCRIPTION', 'Free shipping for orders over %s');

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

Line #111 : $db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, use_function, date_added) values ('Free Shipping For Orders Over', 'MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER', '50', 'Provide free shipping for orders over the set amount.', '6', '4', 'currencies->format', now())");

So I changed the first two files on their respective lines to reflect the text that I want the shopping cart to display and in this case I want it to display "Your order qualifies for free shipping as the total is over %s"

I then saved these files as new files with the same name of course and created over ride directories as follows:

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/languages/english/MY_TEMPLATE/checkout_shipping.php

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/MY_TEMPLATE/ot_shipping.php

But for some reason the text is not changed

.

However if I replace the ot_shipping.php file located here and without using the over rides directory:

Code:

/home/mysite/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php

with the edited one I just created the text is changed to what I want it to display. But of course this is not the ideal solution due to upgrade purposes in the future etc and I would prefer it to work with the over rides directory if possible.

So I guess my question is. Is the over rides directory suppose to work in this case? As the order_total directory contains a classic directory inside of it. So I assumed that by adding the name of my template directory" inside of the order_total directory and then placing the new file inside it I could then use the over rides system as per normal. But it doesn't seem to work.

So any thoughts or suggestions as to what might be causing this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There is something off on some of the Order Total modules for overrides ... so I am moving this to the Bug Reports for further review in future releases ...

Thank you very much Linda I am pleased that you understood what I was trying to achieve as I was starting to go crazy over it as I was sure I was doing everything right. Especially considering I have used the over ride system numerous times in the past to change things in both the ZenCart files and mods for that matter.

Thank you for your helpful input it has been very much appreciated. I'm still using version 1.39h on two of my stores due to mods being upgraded to work with 1.5 so I am unable to test to see if this issue is present in 1.5 at the moment.
