Adding 2 more flat rate shipping modules

That worked. I wasn't sure if there were any exceptions to the flatxxx rule.

Thanks for your time and help.

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this is now working for you ... :smile:

Thanks fairestcape, your clone works perfect. The only thing i did different to your guide is because i'm using version 1.3.9h.

I duplicate both files flat.php and rename to the one i needs from the /languages/... and modules/... and left it in it (same) folder instead of create new folders /FLATONE/.... or /FLATTWO/...

I did it this way, cause i think version 1.3.9h is different. And everything works fine.

:clap:

Thanks heaps.

This is a really useful walkthrough - many thanks.

So what happens when you want to duplicate the "table" shipping method, there are the words "table" used in the PHP code itself so for anyone like myself who isn't sure if its calling for the filename or drawing a table or doing something else in the particular line of code....

I had the same problem with duplicating table shipping due to the different tables - I downloaded the "duplicatetable" add-on but it had a few differences from the 1.5 version of table.php so I rewrote it for 1.5:

My duplicated table is "tableone" - includes/modules/shipping/tableone.php

Simply replace tableone with yourtable and TABLEONE with YOURTABLE - the other tables in the php won't be affected.

For completeness, the language file in includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/tableone.php (which is just a straight find and replace job)

Hopefully this will save someone half an hour or so :)

You missed this line:

      $db->Execute("delete from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key like 'MODULE\_SHIPPING\_TABLE\_%'");

Which line is that? I'm sure I caught them all... it's working on my site anyway!

    function remove() {
      global $db;
      $db->Execute("delete from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key like 'MODULE\_SHIPPING\_TABLE\_%'");
    }

You do not want to remove all keys with:
MODULES_SHIPPING_TABLE_

You want to remove keys with:
MODULES_SHIPPING_TABLEONE_

so that too needs to reflect the change ...

aha, that makes sense - that was the part where the duplicatetable add-on couldn't help me because that part of the code was completely different for the earlier version of table.php... I guess I never would've noticed unless I uninstalled it!

Thanks, Ajeh.

So for anyone who wants to use the code I posted above, you'll need to replace this line

$db->Execute("delete from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key like 'MODULE\_SHIPPING\_TABLE\_%'");

with this one:

$db->Execute("delete from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key like 'MODULE\_SHIPPING\_TABLEONE\_%'");

Thanks for posting the update that was needed ... :smile:

Augh! I too am in hell for my "unique" shipping situation.

Simply put, 90% of my store's items are FREE SHIPPING. So, they all have 0 specified in weight and are using FREE SHIPPING. However, I have a section in my store for shoes. Each pair is $14 with a $6 domestic shipping charge that I need to specify for all shoes. International shipping is available on these items but at a different rate than the $6.

I was hoping that the tutorial by the OP of this threaad would help me, but my stuff still wont show up.

For me, I created a folder called "flatshoes".

In includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/, I created a file called flatshoes.php with the following code:

One thing that seems "off" is that when I did the find/replace process on this file with words "flat" and "FLAT", it seems that some of the code above has ZONEFLATSHOES. Im wondering if that is the problem..

Simply put, even after adding these two flatshoes.php files in the appropriate locations, I am still not able to see it when I go to the Shipping Module in admin.

Im currently using Zencart 1.5. Before my upgrade, I did not have any desire to set this up, so I know this has nothing to do with the 1.3.9h>1.5.0 upgrade borking it.

After I clone the Flat Rate module, the checkout page shows multiple fieldsets. Each has a legend (e.g Flat Rate), and then a single option under the legend. How can I get all the options to appear in one fieldset, or at least eliminate the legends?

You might look at the Git repository for Zen Cart v1.6
http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?200316-Zen-Cart-GitHub-Repository
and find the various entries for CHANGE-452 from February and May 2013

and snag the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/storepickup.php

That can be configured for Multiple Locations with/without Price ...

With a little creative configuration and text settings, you could problem make it work the way you need it ...

Or ... you can try to use it as a model for creating your own Multiple Flat Rate ...

Great tips here. Worked perfect. Thanks :smile:

If anyone gets this far in the thread...because the OP's (excellent) tutorial doesn't work...

Don't forget to set the permissions of the php files to 644!

It wasn't working for me, then I remembered that my permissions on my newly uploaded files were still 600, so they wouldn't show up in the admin panel.

Thanks for the update ... I have never had new files load with 600 vs 644 but that is good to point out something that does not often occur on uploading a new file ... :smile:
