Shipping Total Workaround

[Guest benlogan]

Hi, I don't know if it has already been done, but I worked it out. This is my first time doing php coding, so it wont be that greate, but, it solves the problem of not adding the shipping to the total without the customer clicking it.

What it does is adds "Please select a shipping method." as the fault shipping option.

So it forces the user to select a method. although it doesnt stop them from just clicking continue. i will try to fix that. anyway do this.

open /modules/shipping/by_weight/calc.php

find

$countryISO = countryIso($basket['delInf']['country']);

add just below

$SelectMethod = "Please select a shipping method.";

find

if($sum == 0){

	$sum = 0.00;

}



$taxVal = taxRate($module['tax']);

add just below

//start "plesae select method"

	$shippingPrice .= "<option value='".$i."C0|".$SelectMethod."'";

	

	if($i."C0" == $optNo){

  //$shippingPrice .= "selected='selected'";

  //$basket = $cart->setVar("By Weight (1st Class)","shipMethod");

	}

	

	$sum = $sumClass1;

	

	$shippingPrice .= ">".$SelectMethod."</option>\r\n";

	

  //$shippingPrice .= "<option value='".$i."C0|".$sumClass1."'";

	//end method

now it should work. as you can see its not very conventional, but it works. i just need to work out, how to stop the user from not selecting a method. if anyone can help me, please feel free.

Benlogan, great minds think alike. Just last night I suggested that doing this might be a solution, and now I see you have already done it. I am going to try this.

Have you found a solution yet that would prevent the user from just clicking Continue? I will be very happy if you have. Please post it.

Thanks!!

Dear benlogan

I am not sure if this is help or even possoble but just suggest.

Is it possible to put some hidden commend on "Continue" botton?

so when customer click on "continue" button, updated total amount automatically.

Like "mouseOver" commend.

Possible? or Duh!

I wish it is good idea and you make it soon.

Sincerely,

Andy

What you are after is here. It has one problem, if the user clicks it quick enough, it doesnt have time to reload, and continues with wrong or no shipping.

I think is better to wait for 3.0.3 on a few weeks.
