The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

I too would like to know this answer. I have been looking in the database for a table with an order by section as well and can not find anything. Also looking for a .tpl file that controls shipping order.

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

The shipping methods are controlled by the POS box on the shipping methods page. The lower the number, the higher on the list it appears.

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

Thank you for the reply balinor. I am trying to get the default shipping carrier displayed on the shipping/checkout page to display other carriers AKA "USPS" first instead of UPS so my less observant customers would not automatically select shipping from UPS. I could just turn off UPS but I do want to give customers the option of being charged extra for their shipping.:oops: I do see the position boxes but they are for the position of individual shipping methods. I would like to find the .tpl file withe the decision code. I am thinking I could also just display them all I only have 10 methods.

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

Ah, there is a hack somewhere in the forums for combining all of the methods into one area.

For 4.4.3 add this


to this file

include/func/func.shipping.php

just below

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

Thank you. I fooled with it and it displays all USPS and UPS and any admin generated shipping methods together only when UPS is selected..... Now all I need is to figure out how to hide or remove the selector box.O:)

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

You can do this either from the template (use webmaster mode to find the exact one) or from the php script

Re: The Display Order of Shipping Carriers
 

Thank you cflsystems. I will try the webmaster mode Are there any really good threads for how x-cart is sewn together. I am looking around and am seriously perplexed. Some files in the skin folder are doubled and triple sometimes. Edit the template......... :-k there is like 2780 files in the common folder...I'm new, does somebody have the treasure map they can lend me? I hope you can excuse my ignorance & sarcasm. I am not a proficient programmer by any stretch of the imagination. Guess I'll just start by reading all forum threads O:)

I added Steve's mod and took this out of the customer/main/checkout_shipping_methods.tpl and it seemed to remove the drop down.

{* Select the shipping carrier [begin] *}
{if $userinfo ne "" or $config.General.apply_default_country eq "Y" or $cart.shipping_cost gt 0}

{if $active_modules.UPS_OnLine_Tools and $config.Shipping.realtime_shipping eq "Y" and $config.Shipping.use_intershipper ne "Y" and $show_carriers_selector eq "Y" and $is_ups_carrier_empty ne "Y" and $is_other_carriers_empty ne "Y"}
<label class="form-text">
{$lng.lbl_shipping_carrier}:
{include file="main/select_carrier.tpl" name="selected_carrier" id="selected_carrier" onchange="javascript: self.location='cart.php?mode=`$main`&amp;action=up date&amp;selected_carrier='+this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"}
</label>

{/if}
{/if}
{* Select the shipping carrier: [end] *}
