disable shipping method

[bhadz08]

please help! anyone... i have looked over the forums about how to skip the step 1 in checkout process but unfortunately havn't got any solution. all i is know is that it can skip step1 if the products are set to "yes, skip shipping address". but sadly i have over 10,000 downloadable products posted on my site and i dont want to go over again to edit those products that are set to "No, shipping Address Required". so i just want to ask where to find the code that handles these options so that i can change the logic or set it the same as the "yes, skip..." or the products that set to "No, Shipping Address Required" would still be read as the "Yes, Skip Shipping Address... anyway all my products are all downloadable and no shipping address required.. thanks.. looking forward for your response...

The exact statement is beyond my MySQL abilities, but I'm sure there's a fairly easy way to change that switch in the database, especially since you want to change all your products. I think that would be a better way than fiddling with the code. Someone who knows more than I do should be along.

Downloads are setup as:

Product is Virtual: No, Shipping Address Required

Always Free Shipping: No, Normal Shipping Rules

Now, when you have a Download that is setup correctly added to the shopping cart and go to Checkout, you will skip the checkout_shipping and go to checkout_payment ...
