Default Simple Sample Shipping Module

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find the sample code for a very simple shipping module? I have written some php code for my WeightStep calculation for shipping but am unsure where should I fitting into the system. Thanks

Are you looking to remove the other shipping options and have only yours, or do you want to modify values for existing shipping methods?

I am actually trying to implement my own shipping calculation method as the system provided ones do not suit the local post office tables. I already manage to write the code in php on implementing the calculation but am trying to hunt down what is needed to implement it as a module. The code I have posted http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=70853 but this seems to be the place to ask some of these development questions.

Your best bet would be to look at one of the pre-defined shipping modules like FedEx.
You will find this in /classes/XLite/Module/CDev/FedEx.

You will be able to see that the majority of functions relate to getting data and processing it - you could strip these out and remain with the core functions necessary to perform your tasks.

The core functions can be found in the subfolder Model\Shipping\Processor\fedex.php. This should give you a good point to start producing what you are looking for.

When in doubt, or when there is insufficient information or documentation, always have a look at how other modules do stuff.
