How to install 2 copies of the same shipping module

[KPGroup]

Hello, I need 2 copies of the UPSXML shipping module with different settings for 2 different zones (one for Canada and one for USA).

 

I copied renamed copies of the following files to their proper directories:

 

catalog/includes/modules/shipping/upsxml.php to upsxmlusa.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/upsxml.php to upsxmlusa.php

 

And I didn't change the following files:

 

catalog/admin/includes/classes/xmldocument.php

catalog/includes/classes/xmldocument.php

 

I get the following error:

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class xmldocument in /home/mydomain/public_html/admin/includes/classes/xmldocument.php on line 19

 

Does anybody know how t go around this? the xmldocument class seems to be redeclared. What should I do?

 

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

When you are looking at the shipping modules it is loading your USA one and the Canada one so it is calling the xmldocument from each file. You will need to rename the class also and make the changes in the other files. Why do you need one for each country??? It should work for shipping anywhere in the world.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will try renaming the class, making the changes and see how it goes.

 

I need 2 copies of the module because I need to apply a handling fee for certain zones. Is there a simpler way to do this?

 

Thanks again ;)

I renamed the class and I started having errors for other classes being declared twice. I renamed them too.

 

Now I have a shipping module with no name in Admin. If I click on it I get the info for the other UPSXML module already there.

If I make changes to this module, they affect the other. I think I also need to rename all the fields in the database that a created for this new module.

 

If anybody has tips for doing this, please let me know.

 

Thanks.

Can anobody help me with this?

 

I renamed the classes. Then I got errors for a duplicate function. I renamed it too.

 

Now I have a shipping module in admin with no name (just blank).

 

I managed to install it. I set it up. Everything seemed fine (other than the blank name).

 

When I go to the store side, the shipping module is not there.

 

Am I forgetting something?

 

I am sure it is not too hard but I just can't figure it out.

[KPGroup]

anybody?

 

I really can't figure it out.

I am sure someone tried that before.

It has no name, because you also need to also create the language file to match the new class.

The easiest way to do this is to copy the one for the module you have duplicated and amend it as required (it will have the same filename as the shipping module, but it will be in the languages directory).

 

Alternatively, you could just write a small bit of custom code to pull the customer's country from their account info and apply the fee based on that result. It would be MUCH cleaner.

I have done this, and in fact I have 3 copies of the UPSXML file; upsxml.php, upsxml2.php, and upsxml3.php.

 

To make the first copy, upsxml2.php, within the original file I renamed every instance of upsxml to upsxml2 and every instance of UPSXML to UPSXML2. This may not be necessary in every case but it helps to avoid confusion (and helps if you want to do things like error logging as each file would create a separate error log). Also, as you have found, there are a few other classes that need to be renamed with 2, 3, etc.

 

I also changed every instance of xmldocument to xmldocument2 and created a clone copy of the xmldocument with the appropriate name, xmldocument2.php, in both admin and catalog folders (important).

 

As shooter-boy mentioned you also need a new language file for each new file.

 

This is all I can think of right now, but it should get you close and at least you know someone else has done it. :)

[shooter-boy]

Make sure you update the link to the language file within the shipping class file too.

What is the language file for the new class?

 

I have made a copy of the upsxml.php language file (named upsxml1.php). I am not sure I understand where I should copy it.

I have it in the same directory as the original upsxml language file.

 

The alternative way sounds good but I don't have the skills to do it.

Where do I have to do this. I have checked the shipping class file. Everything seems fine.

That is pretty much what I did. I guess I am close :thumbsup:

You changed every single instance of upsxml to upsxml1, and every single instance of UPSXML to UPSXML1 in both the shipping module itself and the new language file (sorry I forgot to mention that before)? Also, you have to be careful, because if you installed the new module without completing this step first your configuration table is going to be clogged with a whole mess of duplicate entries that will cause problems for your original UPS XML module.

 

The only thing I am confused about is the language files. I have only one:

 

catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/upsxml.php

 

which I copied and renamed to upsxml1.php.

 

Do I need other language files?

You should now have two language files, upsxml.php and upsxml1.php.

I will recheck everything but in theory this is what I was trying to do.

 

I do have 2 language files, the original one and the copy.

 

So I should be all good.

 

I'll check again.

 

Thanks for your time :thumbsup:

[KPGroup]

I restarted from scratch and was very careful not to forget anything.

 

I now have a fully functionning second copy of the UPSXML shipping module.

 

Thank you guys for the help. It is much appreciated.
