@ddsuresh my bad … I had forgotten to add DNS entry for subdomains 🙁 … after adding CNAME entry for *.myprods.com to point to myprods.com “site can’t be reached” error is gone.

But now when I access https://type1.myprods.com, instead of showing my website, its showing me my webhost’s custom home page. I tried commenting my changes in .htaccess and still getting same behavior (webhost’s custom home page). which makes me think that the rewrite rule is not getting applied / .htaccess is not getting into picture at all.

Is that correct understanding?
Anyway I’ve raised a support ticket at my webhost. Hopefully will get a solution soon.

When a user accesses my site for the first time, there is a PHP notice that is getting logged.

PHP Notice: Undefined index: pll_language

It is coming from pll_current_language() call from wp_enqueue_scripts action.
Any idea how to avoid it?

I had to go out of town for couple of days, so I could not send a pull request. And now when I checked, a new version of WCMp is available with a different approach to handle Shipping Methods 🙂
Well… now I’ll need to understand this new approach and rewrite my code. 😐

Hi @itzmekhokan,

Yes, I figured it out on sunday and added my custom form. But that’s just one small part of it.

When we try to edit the custom shipping method instance, the method settings don’t get passed on to this form and this form remains empty. Moreover when we try to save the changes from this form, they don’t get saved. Both of these issues are caused by the code in vendor-shipping.js. The methods editShippingMethod and updateShippingMethod have some hardcoded logic based on if conditions such as:

if (methodId == 'free_shipping') {
****
}
if (methodId == 'local_pickup') {
****
}
if (methodId == 'flat_rate') {
****
}

First of all these should have been if ... else if ... else if and then there is no logic for custom shipping method (the last else part).

For the time being / testing purpose I’ve added the logic for custom shipping here but now I’m facing issue in WCMP_Vendor_Shipping_Method::calculate_shipping. Here also the logic is based on hardcoded method ID checking and there is no logic available for supporting custom shipping methods. So my custom shipping method’s calculate_shipping doesn’t get called at all. 🙁

Can you plz help me with this?

@itzmekhokan On further debugging, I see my previous understanding was wrong.

I added 1 more shipping method (Local pickup). So now there are 3 shipping methods for the given zone, added by the vendor. But still the text appears twice only. So its not dependent on the number of shipping methods. (But it still appears for all shipping methods.)

So to understand why its showing up twice, I echoed $this->id . ':' . $this->instance_id . ' - does this show up? ';. The instance IDs are 84 and 0. I can see that 84 is the instance ID of the custom shipping method added by site admin for the same shipping zone (which is not visible to vendor). But I could not understand what does the instance ID 0 corresponds to?

Moreover the custom shipping method added by vendor has the instance ID 22, which is not getting displayed at all.

Now I’m all the way more confused:

Why is it not getting called for instance ID 22?
Where is the instance ID 0 defined?
Why does it get displayed for other shipping methods (Flat Rate and Local Pickup)?
How do I avoid it getting executed multiple times?

Hi @dualcube,

To understand how shipping method settings are shown in modal dialog, I’ve started implementing my own shipping method. I’m returning custom html from generate_settings_html() of my shipping method class. This html shows up for site admin (when I go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones > my shipping zone > Edit my shipping method).

But this custom HTML doesn’t show up for vendors (when I go to: Dashboard > Store Settings > Shipping > my shipping zone > Edit my shipping method). I get an empty modal dialog. What could be the reason and how do I show my custom HTML for vendors?

@dualcube One suggestion:
Whenever a hook is removed or changed, mention it in changelog.
Or otherwise implement a functionality like the one WooCommerce has implemented with WC_Deprecated_Hooks.
That will avoid confusion and help developers to quickly find alternative hooks.
