Question

I have recently created a new shipping module in Magento 1.3.2 with the aid of the Magento developers guide. My module works correctly, however I cant seem to work how to get the functionality for it to become apart of the carriers down down list when a shipment is created within the admin area.

Once I have my carrier in this drop down list, I am going to need to apply additional functionality so that if my carrier is selected when the shipment order is placed then it does a whole heap of things.

So things i need to work out are:

1. How can make my shipment option a carrier in the drop down list
2. What class must I extend to add the functionality or can I simply add it to my shipment model?

have you added the necessary blocks under app/code/local/yournamespace/yourmodule/Blocks/Adminhtmland a layout xml file in app/design/adminhtml/default/default/layout?
