[Old] Royal Mail Modules

Hi,

I'd like to remove this section which is displayed at the checkout:

Estimate Delivery Costs
Country: Please Choose Your Country United Kingdom
State/Province: Type a choice below ...
Post/Zip Code:

Basically because it is going to be the same for every customer. I only ship to the UK using Royal mail.

So I'm guessing, but I would need to set UK as default for country and then hide all the fields

Anyone know which file I need to mod and which code?

Many Thanks

You should have a look at:

big_royalmail_v2.3.2/optional
big_royalmail_v2.3.2/optional/shopping_cart.php
big_royalmail_v2.3.2/optional/shipping_estimator.php
big_royalmail_v2.3.2/optional/tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

these replace the normal shipping estimator with a less blocky table (although the code is about 3 years old) but there you should find where you can knock off the counties.

Philip.

thanks - I've removed the code but how can I just rem it out?

I tried // or <!

Thank you

Hi Philip,

I'm not sure if you have already updated this, but the compensation is currently £36, which should go up to £39 on the 6th April as it tends to follow the price of 1st class stamp. I just thought I would mention it while you are working on it.

For REM - ing out (long time since I've heard that expression),

inside php it is

Code:

---

// at the beginning of a line

---

Code:

---

/* can
surround multiple
lines */

---

in html

Code:

---

<!-- <b> this is some html </b> -->

As mentioned before, the max insurance the royal mail would pay out is a guideline only and individuals can assess their own requirements, the insurance and handling fees are never updated if someone installs a royal mail upgrade because people tend to change them frequently. The rates are now separate from the modules themselves which are reasonably correct and accurate to 6th April 2009 and a SQL update is available for the UK and for the Airmail services.

Currently Eurozone 48, international standard and international datapost are lagging behind in the updates as they are not frequently used. the UKZR modules is for making a UK specific customised courier modules and the newest module that will be going in tonight is called ukcourier and is a basic courier module for people that don't want to go to the lengths of splitting the country into the "Scottish Highlands" and "Argyll and Bute".

Philip.

Thanks for that. I've removed all but the country and thought I'd be able to remove the choose a country text and replace with UK but i still have to select uk from the drop down

define('PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT', 'United Kingdom');


Can I change this code in tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php to auto select the second item in the list?

<label class="inputLabel" for="seAddressPulldown"><?php echo CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_ADDRESS; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('address_id', $addresses_array, $selected_address, 'onchange="return shipincart_submit();" name="seAddressPulldown"'); ?>
<?php

I don't know how to do it in PHP ( I only know VB)

Many Thanks For your help

Can you give me a couple of hours ? I'm just trying to work through the next release, and let me just confirm you want the shipping estimator locked to the UK only, no selects, no changes ? or do you want it locked to the user's primary address ?

Sure, no problem. I'd like it fixed to the UK

thank you

okay you are asking something a little tricky because the zen-car code is convoluted as it deals with free shipping options, whether the person is logged on, whether they are a guest. For the guest on zencart 1.3.8 in includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

Code:

---

<!--
<label class="inputLabel" for="country">ENTRY COUNTRY<?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" onchange="update_zone(this.form);"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

<label class="inputLabel" for="stateZone" id="zoneLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('zone_id', zen_prepare_country_zones_pull_down($selected_country), $state_zone_id, 'id="stateZone"');?>
<br class="clearBoth" id="stBreak" />
<label class="inputLabel" for="state" id="stateLabel"><?php echo $state_field_label; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('state', $selectedState, zen_set_field_length(TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK, 'entry_state', '40') . ' id="state"') .'&
nbsp;<span class="alert" id="stText">&nbsp;</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

<?php
        if(CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_ZIP_REQUIRED == "true"){
?>
<label class="inputLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?></label>
<?php echo  zen_draw_input_field('zip_code', $zip_code, 'size="7"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
        }
?>
<div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo  zen_image_submit(BUTTON_IMAGE_UPDATE, BUTTON_UPDATE_ALT); ?></div>

works and I would leave it at that, because just commenting that out will set the default country to UK (either because the shipping calculator bases it's default country on store location or define('PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT', 'United Kingdom'); that you mentioned. Then you still have the option of a user changing around delivery addresses.

So that's just adding <!-- and --> in the correct places.
