Can Shipping modules look like this?

[SeanB]

I'm trying to make a shipping module, but before i start working on the code, i want to know if anyone has tried, and found out it's not possible.

 

Here's what my shipping screen looks like right now, 2 modules

 

 

Now, with most modules, having multiple shipping options seems to mean multiple modules, which would mean the screen would look like this. (imagine the 2 other items wern't both canada)

 

 

I dont quite like how that looks. I'd rather my shipping screen looked something like this.

 

 

But like i said, before i go to all the trouble, i'd rather know that it's even possible. I downloaded another flat shipping module, but it ended up looking like picture #2, and i didn't like that at all.

 

Let me know what you think.

I went to all the trouble of editing that image, twice, and nobody knows.

 

Guess i'l have to give it a try. Hope it works.

I think this thread is worth to be answered.

 

Either i m really bad in searching but i couldn't find anyone else actually solving this issue.

 

I found this code but it's not working properly it's returning always the first value as selected.

 

/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

 

class flat {
var $code, $title, $description, $icon, $enabled;

// class constructor
function flat() {
  global $order;

  $this->code = 'flat';
  $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE;
  $this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
  $this->sort_order = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_SORT_ORDER;
  $this->icon = '';
  $this->tax_class = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_CLASS;
  $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);

}

// class methods
function quote($method = '') {
  global $order;

  $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
						'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE,
						'methods' => array(array('id' => '0',
												 'title' => 'US surface',
												 'cost' => 4),
										   array('id' => '1',
												 'title' => 'US air',
												 'cost' => 6),
										   array('id' => '2',
												 'title' => 'Canada & Mexico',
												 'cost' => 6),
										   array('id' => '3',
												 'title' => 'Everywhere Else surface',
												 'cost' => 6),
										   array('id' => '4',
												 'title' => 'Everywhere Else air',
												 'cost' => 8)
										  ));

  if ($this->tax_class > 0) {
	$this->quotes['tax'] = tep_get_tax_rate($this->tax_class, $order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id']);
  }

  if (tep_not_null($this->icon)) $this->quotes['icon'] = tep_image($this->icon, $this->title);

  return $this->quotes;
}

function check() {
  if (!isset($this->_check)) {
	$check_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_value from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key = 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS'");
	$this->_check = tep_db_num_rows($check_query);
  }
  return $this->_check;
}

function install() {
  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Enable Flat Shipping', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS', 'True', 'Do you want to offer flat rate shipping?', '6', '0', 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'True\', \'False\'), ', now())");
  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION .

  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION .

  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION .

  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION .

}

function remove() {
  tep_db_query("delete from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key in ('" . implode("', '", $this->keys()) . "')");
}

function keys() {
  return array('MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_COST', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_CLASS', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_ZONE', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_SORT_ORDER');
}
 }

 

I cannot believe you're all so happy adding duplicate flat.php files. We could make a contribution that adds 1 flat.php that is can have up to 5 values

 

Kind Regards
