BCSE pre-login shipping estimator

tqualizerman · #1 06-27-2008, 12:46 PM

Has anyone created a modification to this module that can grab ONLY the cheapest shipping method and instead of reporting back the cost of all enabled modules just say 'Shipping as low as $x.xx' after the customer enters their postal/zip ?

Please don't post questions in the Completed Custom Mods forum. Moving to Third Party add-ons.

This mod allows for a shipping method to be selected (radio buttons) but this selection doesn't seem to be carried through to the next stages. I.e., the user is still brought to the shipping method selection page and the choice has been reset.

Is this just the way the mod works or may I have done something to cause this?

It is just an estimator, the selected method doesn't 'stick'

Thanks Balinor,

Its not even a problem, but strange that there would be selectable buttons if they don't do anything. I guess I will just cut those out.

Either way, this is a must have addon for any store. What I've done is put it in line with the subtotal on the cart page, using the expand/collapse function which does it all up in a really clean layout and doesn't clutter the cart page.

Yea, I usually remove the buttons and put TBD in the shipping charge field on the right. Too confusing to people otherwise.

I would like to remove the radio buttons too. Can someone post the details on what I need to change in shipping_estimator.tpl to do that?

Just open up the template can remove the radio button part of the code - it is in its own table cell.

Thanks. I looked at it earlier and did not feel comfortable with hacking the source code without a working example. I'll go back in and do what I can.

Remove this bit:

Code:

<td width="5"{if $shipping[ship_num].shippingid eq $cart.shippingid} class="TableHead"{/if}>
<input type="radio" name="shippingid" value="{$shipping[ship_num].shippingid}"{if $shipping[ship_num].shippingid eq $cart.shippingid} checked="checked"{else} onclick="javascript: this.form.submit();"{/if} />
	</td>
