Installation

• always backup files and database before performing installation or upgrade operations
• uninstall current USPS module if installed (and it is a good idea to take note of the pre-existing values)
• copy files over to their corresponding paths
• it may be necessary in admin/modules.php to add some code to support arrays, around line 45: look for

  if (tep_not_null($action)) {
    switch ($action) {
      case 'save':

..and change to this:

  if (tep_not_null($action)) {
    switch ($action) {
      case 'save':
        $module_name = '';
      	// detect custom modules..
      	if( array_key_exists('MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_STATUS', $HTTP_POST_VARS['configuration']) ){	
      		$module_name = 'usps';
      	}

then, shortly after, look for

        while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS['configuration'])) {
          tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " set configuration_value = '" . $value . "' where configuration_key = '" . $key . "'");
        }

..and change to this:

        while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS['configuration'])) {
        	switch( $module_name ) {
        		case 'usps':
        			/*
        			 * TODO: review
        			* USPS Methods
        			*/
        			if( is_array( $value ) ){
        				$value = implode( ", ", $value);
        				$value = ereg_replace (", --none--", "", $value);
        			}
        			/*
        			 * /end
        			*/
        			break;
        	}
          tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " set configuration_value = '" . $value . "' where configuration_key = '" . $key . "'");
        }

Wishlist:

• code cleanup
• field for (tm) / (r) symbols so that they can easily be updated if USPS decides to change the format again
• refactoring (code is rather scary right now..)
