another shipping method

[Guest]

Hi

 

I want to add a customer pickup shipping method to the checkout_shipping.php page

 

I have tried all 2.2. add ons and they dont work

 

I even tried copying the flat rate module and changing it to be for store pickup but that didnt work

 

Can someone please help me

 

I have got oscommerce 2.3.1

 

Thank you

What did not work exactly?

 

It's easy to duplicate the flat rate, can you say what steps you did that did not work?

Hi multimixer

 

I copied the flat rate file and then changed it to storepickup and then all the words flat in the flat rate php file, i changed the words to storepickup

 

and then uploaded the copied file

 

All i can think off is that the flat rate is not being used correctly

 

The coding below is from the checkout_shipping.php page if it helps and I have just pasted the part about the shipping method that is there already

 

<h2>Shipping Method</h2>

 <div class="contentText">
   <div style="float: right;">
  <strong>Please Select</strong>    </div>
   Please select the preferred shipping method to use on this order.  </div>

 <div class="contentText">
   <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

  <tr>
    <td><strong>Free UK Delivery</strong> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, 0)">
    <td style="padding-left: 15px;">Free UK Delivery on all orders<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="free_free" /></td>
  </tr>

   </table>
 </div>

 

Dunno if you can tell from that if the flat rate is being used because to get that part to say free delivery on all orders, I changed it to say that in the english.php file in define languages in the admin side of the site

 

Thanks

To add a new shipping method, there is nothing to do on the checkout_shipping.php page.

 

Restore anything you've done there and go on as follows

 

- Find file includes/modules/shipping/flat.php, make a copy and name it eg spu.php

- Find the corresponding language file in folder includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php and do the same

- in in each of the 2 spu.php files that you have now, change any word "flat" to "spu"

examples

 class flat {

to be

 class spu {

and

  $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE;

to be

  $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_SPU_TEXT_TITLE;

 

In the text file, you can of course change the actual text to be displayed as you like

 

- Upload the files and enable them in admin>modules>shipping

 

That's it

Hi

 

I did everything you said and it dont show up

 

All i got showing up under shipping method is this

 

 

Shipping Method

Free UK Delivery

Free UK Delivery on all orders

 

 

Also it has a name delivery options in the admin - modules - shipping when i went to install it

 

I think something is not right

Also rather it being called spu it is called delivery options in the admin - modules - shipping

 

I dont get it

 

Thanks

"delivery options" is probably the text you have as a description, could be anything, "kuku" or whatever

 

Do you see the module in admin?

Did you install it?

Also, better you unistall anything else to test, like any free delivery or whatever

I have removed the free uk delivery option

 

so i got nothing now

 

I installed the delivery options named module and it comes back with the free uk delivery on all orders again

 

and wont add other methods

 

Thanks

Hi, I'm also trying to duplicate the flat rate module. I've followed the instruction above, when I go to admin>modules>shipping it says there are 3 modules available to install but when I actually click on the "+ install module" there are only 2 modules there, not the new one I've created. Pretty weird I dont know what I've done wrong.
