Showing shipping period within the cart.

stubborn · #1 12-12-2003, 01:54 PM

When a customer is in their cart, I want them to be able to pull down the aval shipping options and have the number of days in () next to the shipping method.

Has anyone done this before?

you can just type it in next to the Shipping Method Lable in shipping methods section -

like - Priority Mail (3 Days).

two things with this....

1. Maybe you can, but through the admin section, I don't have an option to edit the shipping method names.

2. there is already a field for the "period", I just want to know what to edit (what template) so I can add that field to the drop down shown on the customers cart.

Yes you can (edit the shipping name), since it is just a variable from the database, and in your administration page it is editable.

can you edit the shipping name if using real-time shipping?

i cant seem where to find this, or if its possible.

seems odd that there is place for the "Period" but then it doesnt show anywhere on the customer side.

i just want to add the transit times to show for each option when a customer is selecting.

The Real-time methods are pre-defined and you can't change them in the admin area.

thats what i thought. so why offer the "period" box to enter transit times, if it doesnt do anything...

The period box is meant for user-defined options. I agree it should either be removed for real-time or actually made useful

Hi,

I have made it useful. See this scenario. The customer should be able to select their preferred delivery date while they want to present some gifts on particular day. They must be allowed to enter their preferred delivery date. If the date is validated as follows

1) The preferred delivery date should not be less than the current date
2) The preferred delivery date should not be less than the lead time (Lead time is the period for delivering the goods and making time - It depends on the seller).

What i have done, just i have changed the field type to int and the values are now in integer(2,3,4...) and i will take this for calculation..

You can find the demo at

Before 2007 New Year, what I filled in the "period" box (under shipping methods in store administrator page) can show between the shipping method name and shipping fee (on the customer's shopping cart). But after New Year, it disappears on shopping cart.

Anybody can help ?
