Conditional shipping option?

[split63]

Ajeh,

That seems to work...thanks.

When both FedEx and USPS options show, the USPS option is by default selected. Is there a way I can make FedEx the default, or better yet, neither checked?


Also, the message for USPS is:
United States Postal Service (First-Class Package International Service™)

How can I change this to:
United States Postal Service (First-Class 7-20 days)

Can a hyperlink be inserted into that text?

I spoke to soon.
For the US, we offer only USPS priority. When I checked a US location, the shopping cart no longer listed a value for USPS priority....it was just missing with no rate estimate at all.

This is most likely my fault for lack of full disclosure

USA locations: USPS priority only
International locations: FedEx<$40, then FedEx only. FedEx>=$40, USPS FC and FedEx

The name to allow can be changed in the:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

if (preg_match('#Priority Mail International#i', $type_rebuilt) && $_SESSION['usps_first_class'] > 40) {

while the session variable is reading usps_first_class it is just a marker so its name is not important, but for clarity you might change it in both files to:
$_SESSION['usps_priority']

that is up to you ...

You could use the CUSTOM setting:

USPS Domestic Transit Time Calculation Mode
Select from the following the USPS options.
note: NEW and OLD will add additional time to quotes. CUSTOM allows your custom shipping days.

CUSTOM
NEW
OLD

and show the days by turning on the:

Display transit time

Then, in the function parseIntlTransitTimeResults($Package, $service) you will see where the days can be customized ...

Oddly enough it is already set to Custom and the "Display Transit time" is checked.
I searched and found the function mentioned in the usps.php file. But it was not obvious how to customize it.

function parseIntlTransitTimeResults($Package, $service) {
    global $logfilename;
    if (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_DEBUG_MODE == 'Logs') {
      $fp = @fopen($logfilename, 'a');
    }
    if (isset($this->transittime[$service]) && $this->transittime[$service] == '' && preg_match('#(GXG|International)#i' , $service)) {
      $time = $Package['SvcCommitments'];
      $time = preg_replace('/Weeks$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_WEEKS, $time);
      $time = preg_replace('/Days$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS, $time);
      $time = preg_replace('/Day$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAY, $time);
      $this->transittime[$service] = $time == '' ? '' : ' (' . $time . ')';
    }
    // do logging if the file was opened earlier by the config switch
    if ($fp) {
      fwrite($fp, date('M d Y G:i:s') . ' -- Transit Time (Intl)' . "\nService:                    " . $service . "\nSvcCommitments (from USPS): " . $Package['SvcCommitments'] . "\n" . '$time (calculated):         ' . $time . "\nTranslation:               " . $this->transittime[$service] . "\n\n");
      fclose($fp);
    }
  }

What is odd, is that the Priority mail transit time is shown, but the first class is not shown.

Found this section. It does not seem to differentiate between Domestic and International.
First Class International shows no estimate.

      /********************* CUSTOM START:  IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM TRANSIT TIMES ENTER THEM HERE ***************/
      switch (TRUE) {
        case (preg_match('#Priority Mail Express#i', $service)):
            $time = '1 - 2 ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#Priority MailTM#i', $service)):
            $time = '2 - 3 ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#Standard PostRM#i', $service)):
            $time = '4 - 7 ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#First\-Class#i', $service)):
          $time = '2 - 5 ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#Media MailRM#i', $service)):
        default:
          $time = '';
      /********************* CUSTOM END:  IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM TRANSIT TIMES ENTER THEM HERE ***************/

You might look for the International function for the displayed days:
function parseIntlTransitTimeResults($Package, $service) {

[split63]

I could be wrong, but maybe the problem is that there is no international equivalent of the custom replacement above.

The closest thing I could find is this, and I'm at a loss to understand what this even does.

    if (isset($this->transittime[$service]) && $this->transittime[$service] == '' && preg_match('#(GXG|International)#i' , $service)) {
      $time = $Package['SvcCommitments'];
      $time = preg_replace('/Weeks$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_WEEKS, $time);
      $time = preg_replace('/Days$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS, $time);
      $time = preg_replace('/Day$/', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAY, $time);
      $this->transittime[$service] = $time == '' ? '' : ' (' . $time . ')';
    }

And if you just add the text in RED what happens:

      switch (TRUE) {
        /********************* CUSTOM START:  IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM TRANSIT TIMES ENTER THEM HERE ***************/
        case (preg_match('#Priority Mail Express#i', $service)):
          $time = '3 - 5 business ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#Priority Mail#i', $service)):
          $time = '6 - 10 business ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#Global Express Guaranteed#i', $service)):
          $time = '1 - 3 business ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#USPS GXG.* Envelopes#i', $service)):
          $time = '1 - 3 business ' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        case (preg_match('#First\-Class#i', $service)):
          $time = 'Varies by destination 7-12 days'; // '' . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TEXT_DAYS;
          break;
        default:
          $time = '';

Are you wanting USPS to show when the Ship to is to a US address? Or just on those Ship to for International addresses?
