Shipping Plugin $usable_methods

I am developing a shipping plugin for hikashop. The plugin makes requests to an API to determine price and all other parameters.

I need to have two methods in $usable_methods.

here is demo sample from my pluginName.php

<?php
	defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
	require_once __DIR__.'\$_include_functions.php';
?>

<?php
class plgHikaShopshippingpluginName extends hikashopShippingPlugin {
	var $multiple = true;
	var $name = 'pluginName';
	var $doc_form = 'pluginName';
	var $use_cache = true;
	function onShippingDisplay(&$order,&$methods,&$usable_methods,&$messages){
		$pluginName_methods_object = null;
		
		foreach($methods as $key => $value){
			if($methods[$key]->shipping_name === "pluginName"){
				$pluginName_methods_object = $methods[$key];
			}
		}
$pluginName_methods_object->shipping_price = 14;
$pluginName_methods_object->shipping_params->yadiyadiyada2_api = "yadiyadiyada2";
$pluginName_methods_object->shipping_params->yadiyadiyada3_api = "yadiyadiyada3";

array_push($usable_methods,$pluginName_methods_object); //no problems here everything is displayed fine
			$new_method = $pluginName_methods_object;
			$new_method->shipping_id = 9199;
			$new_method->shipping_type = 'lalalala';
			$new_method->shipping_name = 'lalalala1';
			array_push($usable_methods, $new_method); // problem here

Hello,

Note that in production mode you'll have to disable your error reporting, so no notice will be shown on your website.

Also, you should probably how we developped existing shipping plugins like USPS/UPS/... and instead, add available shipping services like this :

$usable_rates[$new_method->shipping_id] = $new_method;

Thank you for your response. I have done what you have asked and moved to your naming conventions as follows:

function onShippingDisplay(&$order,&$dbrates,&$usable_rates,&$messages)

$usable_rates[$new_method->shipping_id] = $new_method;

Hello,

Then in that case you should create 2 services for your shipping method. In the UPS shipping plugin, these services are also defined through the "$ups_methods" variable.

or I will need to implement warehouses.

Can you give me some sort of example of using the variable properly

<?php
class plgHikaShopshippingpluginName extends hikashopShippingPlugin {
var $pluginName_methods = array();

Hello,

About which variable are you talking about ?

The best solution will probably be to directly check the code and replicate the structure of the AuPost2 shipping method.

Also, note that you can directly check the "Shipping API" section of the developer documentation :

I am happy to inform you I have resolved my problem by first cloning the object and then pushing it to the usable rates array. The issue has to do with all object oriented languages not just php, and how objects are stored in the computer's ram. Thank you for your attention and support.
