I have successfully created a new shipping method and given it support for shipping zones. However when I come to select the method from the dropdown to add it to the zone it does not appear in the 'selected methods list'.
I recorded a screencast gif to demonstrate:
I can't for the life of me figure out why it's not working. It works fine if I select one of the standard methods (Screencast GIF)
Anyone know what's going on here and how to get it to work?
Here's the code that I have from this official thread: Shipping Method API:
if ( in_array( 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php', apply_filters( 'active_plugins', get_option( 'active_plugins' ) ) ) ) {
function request_a_shipping_quote_init() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'WC_Request_Shipping_Quote_Method' ) ) {
class WC_Request_Shipping_Quote_Method extends WC_Shipping_Method {
/**
* Constructor for your shipping class
*
* @access public
* @return void
*/
public function __construct() {
$this->id = 'request_a_shipping_quote'; // Id for your shipping method. Should be uunique.
$this->method_title = __( 'Request a Shipping Quote' ); // Title shown in admin
$this->method_description = __( 'Shipping method to be used where the exact shipping amount needs to be quoted' ); // Description shown in admin
$this->title = "Request a Shipping Quote"; // This can be added as an setting but for this example its forced.
$this->supports = array(
'shipping-zones'
);
$this->init();
}
/**
* Init your settings
*
* @access public
* @return void
*/
function init() {
// Load the settings API
$this->init_form_fields(); // This is part of the settings API. Override the method to add your own settings
$this->init_settings(); // This is part of the settings API. Loads settings you previously init.
// Save settings in admin if you have any defined
add_action( 'woocommerce_update_options_shipping_' . $this->id, array( $this, 'process_admin_options' ) );
}
function init_form_fields() {
$this->form_fields = array(
'enabled' => array(
'title' => __( 'Enable', 'dc_raq' ),
'type' => 'checkbox',
'description' => __( 'Enable this shipping method.', 'dc_raq' ),
'default' => 'yes'
),
'title' => array(
'title' => __( 'Title', 'dc_raq' ),
'type' => 'text',
'description' => __( 'Title to be displayed on site', 'dc_raq' ),
'default' => __( 'Request a Quote', 'dc_raq' )
),
);
}
/**
* calculate_shipping function.
*
* @access public
*
* @param mixed $package
*
* @return void
*/
public function calculate_shipping( $packages = array() ) {
$rate = array(
'id' => $this->id,
'label' => $this->title,
'cost' => '0.00',
'calc_tax' => 'per_item'
);
// Register the rate
$this->add_rate( $rate );
}
}
}
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_shipping_init', 'request_a_shipping_quote_init' );
function request_shipping_quote_shipping_method( $methods ) {
$methods['request_shipping_quote_shipping_method'] = 'WC_Request_Shipping_Quote_Method';
return $methods;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_methods', 'request_shipping_quote_shipping_method' );
}
The method key on "woocommerce_shipping_methods" should match the shipping method id
In your case: You should change
function request_shipping_quote_shipping_method( $methods ) {
$methods['request_shipping_quote_shipping_method'] = 'WC_Request_Shipping_Quote_Method';
return $methods;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_methods', 'request_shipping_quote_shipping_method' );
To:
function request_shipping_quote_shipping_method( $methods ) {
$methods['request_a_shipping_quote'] = 'WC_Request_Shipping_Quote_Method';
return $methods;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_methods', 'request_shipping_quote_shipping_method' );
