Pre-Login Shipping Calculator for X-Cart 4.1.8 With Fast Lane Checkout


In cart.php After:

x_session_register("cart");
x_session_register("intershipper_rates");
x_session_register("intershipper_recalc");
x_session_unregister("secure_oid");
x_session_register("anonymous_checkout");
x_session_register("payment_cc_fields");
x_session_register("current_carrier","UPS");

Insert:

#SHIPPING CALCULATOR
x_session_register("zipcode_estimate"); 

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

$intershipper_recalc = "Y";
#SHIPPING CALCULATOR

Copy the entire contents of skin1/customer/main/cart_totals.tpl

Highlight the entire contents of skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/cart_subtotal.tpl and paste the contents of cart_totals.tpl over it.

(The contents of cart_subtotal.tpl is merely a stripped out version of cart_totals.tpl taking out the very thing we all want)


Now in the newly completely changed skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/cart_subtotal.tpl place:

{* BCSE Begin *} 
{if $login} 
{else} 
   {if $estimate ne "NO"} 
        <br><b>Enter your zip code below to calculate shipping charges.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><p><b>Enter Zip Code&nbsp;</b>
      <input type=TEXT name='zip_estimate' size=5 maxlength=5>&nbsp;&nbsp; 
      {include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title="Click Here To Calculate Shipping" href="javascript: document.cartform.submit()"  js_to_href="Y"}&nbsp;
       
      {else} <p><a href="cart.php?zip_estimate=clear">Click here to change your zip code</a> ({$userinfo.s_zipcode}) 

     {/if} 
     <BR><BR> 
{/if} 
{* BCSE End *}

Just before:

{if $not_logged_message eq "1"}
{$lng.txt_order_total_msg}{/if}

Finally, in languages, make a label "lbl_calc_title". It should say something like this "Order - Shipping Calculator"

In skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/cart_subtotal.tpl find all occurences (3) of {$lng.lbl_delivery} and replace them with {$lng.lbl_calc_title}

If customer is logged in, Taxes will show on the cart/calculator page and this mod appears to not affect the checkout process at all.

YOUR DONE!!!!
