Magento

I would like to add two new way of payment :

- bank transfer
- “contre remboursement” (in France when the customer have to pay the shipment at the post office)

and i would like to have two way of shipping

- Economy (is actually configured is magento like Flat Rate)
- Express (best way is to add a other flate rate but i don’t know how to to this)

Thank you !

Hi there,
I am going to be releasing an enhanced shipping module soon (hopefully today), could you tell me what you need for Economy and Express that is different from Flat Rate.
Cheers
Adam

actually i use Flat Rate for Economy, so i would like to have the same for Express

the price are simply fixed for both

I need also an other called “contre remboursement” with a also a different prices

thank you

Are you going to relaease your improvement today ? Thank you

I hope so - but it won’t support what you need. I can write a custom shipping extension for you however - please give me a private message of your exact needs.

done !

i tried this how to : http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how-to/create-shipping-method-module

but i have an error when i load the store

“Error in file: “/var/www/virtual/vu2004/htdocs/app/code/local/Mage/Remboursement/sql/remb_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php” - SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘evenshop.core_config_field’ doesn’t exist “

how to resolve it ?

in fact i just want to duplicate Flate Rate shipping method and duplicate Cash check payment option

Did you modify your MySQL database to include the new fields?

isn’t it automatique ?

i just want to duplicate one existing shipping module, it’s very hard…

Somebody can help ?

bump - i get the same error after following the howto.

The table core_config_field doesn’t exist (anymore). So the method described in the tutorial doesn’t work (a bug report for this can be found here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/issue?issue=1807).

Look at the existing payment methods and create your tables with an plain SQL statement.

To configure your application use etc/system.xml.

You don’t need to write sql statements at all - info in the system.xml is used

Obviously you don’t need to create your own table via an SQL statement if simple configuration values is all you need for your module

So you’re telling me that the HOWTO article to create a custom module is, as of this version, inaccurate? How are developers supposed to code custom modules if the only article that describes how to do it is out of date? Are there any other resources?

The tutorial is good and it works. The only thing that isn’t up-to-date is the setup part. So if you want to create a backend configuration for your module take a look at the existing payment/shipping modules (Paypal, Cybersource etc.) especially the XML files in the etc folder.
