1). Uncheck the option "When a customer isn't logged in, it is presumed that he is from a default country." in General.

2). Create calculate.gif and place it in /skin1/images (you could just use the supplied go.gif).

3). Modified cart.php:
Old Code:
x_session_register("cart");
x_session_register("intershipper_rates");
x_session_register("intershipper_recalc");
x_session_unregister("secure_oid");
x_session_register("extended_userinfo");
x_session_register("anonymous_checkout");

New Code:
if(!$login){
$smarty->assign("not_logged_message","1");
}
else{
$smarty->assign("not_logged_message","0");
}

x_session_register("cart");


x_session_register("intershipper_rates");
x_session_register("intershipper_recalc");
x_session_unregister("secure_oid");
x_session_register("extended_userinfo");
x_session_register("anonymous_checkout");
x_session_register("zipcode_estimate");


if($HTTP_GET_VARS['zip_estimate'] == "clear"){
$zipcode_estimate = "";
func_header_location("cart.php");
}

if(!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['zip_estimate'])){
$zipcode_estimate = $_POST['zip_estimate'];

$count = substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"0") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"1") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"2") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"3") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"4") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"5") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"6") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"7") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"8") + substr_count($zipcode_estimate,"9");

if($count != 5){ //checking for 5 digits
$zipcode_estimate = "";}

func_header_location("cart.php");
}
if($zipcode_estimate != ""){
$config["General"]["apply_default_country"] = "Y";
$config["General"]["default_zipcode"] = $zipcode_estimate;
$smarty->assign("estimate","NO");
}

4). Modified top.inc.php
Old Code:
if (!in_array($__key, array("HTTP_GET_VARS","HTTP_POST_VARS","HTTP_SERVE R_VARS","HTTP_ENV_VARS","HTTP_COOKIE_VARS","HTTP_P OST_FILES","__key","__val")))

New Code:
if (!in_array($__key, array("HTTP_GET_VARS","HTTP_POST_VARS","HTTP_SERVE R_VARS","HTTP_ENV_VARS","HTTP_COOKIE_VARS","HTTP_P OST_FILES","__key","__val","_GET","_POST","_SERVER ")))

5). Modified cart_totals.tpl
Added this code to the bottom of the file:
<div align=right>
{if $not_logged_message eq "1"}
{if $estimate ne "NO"}

Please enter your zip code to

calculate shipping charges.

<input type=TEXT name='zip_estimate' size=5 maxlength=5>
<input type=image alt="Calculate Shipping" src="../skin1/images/calculate.gif" border=0 align=middle name=btnCalculate >
{else}

Click here to change your shipping zip code.
{/if}
{/if}




If you use this method, make sure you back things up first! I am not a programmer, just a hacker.

I might give it a try anyway, but I've only got a live shop, no test server.

Thanks,

In cart.php After:

You owe me a beer if this works adpboss ;)

I cannot use the code posted in this thread. Does this code work with UPS only? I am not sure how zipcode lookup is done in my case. I define zones by states only but I have FedEx rate sheet with zipcode.

Can someone edit posted code so that it works for my case? I do not need a fancy zipcode lookup. All I need is the code that will lookup the state entered or zone entered and calculate the shipping according to defined shipping rate.

Define your tax zones by zip code and make sure that you do not have Default ZipCode (in General Settings) that would cause tax to be applied. I have it blank.

961%
This mod is basically giving a temporary value to the 'Default Zip Code' entry that you can set in General Settings.
So when an zip code entry is put in the shipping calculator that matches my tax zone, the tax shows up as long as the 'Default Zip Code' entry in General Settings blank. If you have any other of the default settings (zip code, state) filled in clear the entries to see if that makes a difference.

How do you have your taxing zone set up?
Does it check by zip code, state, city ????
