New shipping mod ready for testing - customer's agent to collect

I've re-worked the STORE PICKUP module to one called CUSTOMER SHIPPER ACCOUNT.

This will enable a customer to indicate that he/she would like to arrange for their shipping company to come and collect from the store.

When the module is ACTIVE, there is a text message in the option box that alerts the shopper to insert their shipping company's NAME and their ACCOUNT in the comments box at STAGE ONE of checkout.

If you'd like to see it and make comments:-

Go to one of our demo sites:-

This will be kept live for a short while only!

Be careful on Store Pickup storepickup as your base ...

There are specific settings to storepickup in the shipping class ...

Thanks for the alert, Linda...

Perhaps I should zip this up and PM it to you?

There are NO references in any of the PHP files to "store_pickup", but perhaps you should check it first anyway.

The reference is storepickup ...

You will see that in the:
/includes/classes/shipping.php

This module is different from cloning flat.php or item.php in that flat.php or item.php are self-contained with no internal references on functionality outside of the files:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php
/includes/modules/shipping/item.php

Ajeh:

The reference is storepickup ...

There's no reference in the reworked php files to "storepickup", or any combination of the word:-

STORE_PICKUP, store pickup, store-pickup... etc.

(I just did a word-search for "store" and for "pickup" in all the modified files, and the result is "zero" - no matches.)

Would it still be advisable to use a mod that stands alone?

UPDATE:

The Base File NOW USED for this mod is FLAT SHIPPING.

It can still be viewed and tried out at the above URL.

That main issue is when the $this->code is: storepickup

There are triggers for that in the shipping.php class ...

So you should be safe ... :smile:

Thanks Linda

I'll zip this up and submit it for consideration in downloads... it's simple, but some people may find it useful.
