Shipping Estimator

[cjcom2001]

Does a visitor have to login to get an estimate on shipping with this estimateor? If so, is there anyway around that? We want anyone to be able to get an estimate for the items in their cart without loggin in.

The Shipping Estimator does NOT require a login ...

The Shipping Estimator DOES require an address for it to calculate the Shipping costs ...

Once an address is supplied, it will remember it for the current session ...

Hi,

I see the problem you mentioned.

How do i / where do i add the following line:

Please Log In to display your personal shipping costs

Thanks mate

I'd peek at the tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php and copy to your templates and overrides directory and make appropriate changes to that to display additional information ...

I added a picture and link to the shipping estimator in a sidebox, I want the shipping estimator to open in a popup like on the checkout page, but when I add this code to the sidebox file for the address when the image is clicked on,

 <a href="javascript:popupWindow('http://midwestapplianceparts.com/popup_shipping_estimator.html')">

the page dies loading after the header....

so... I changed the code to something like this:

 <a href="'https://midwestapplianceparts.com/popup_shipping_estimator.html" target="_blank">

this works fine, but opens a whole new big window....

I want the popup to work... so what can I change in this code to get the popup to work

any ideas? I want to get this working asap

Popup Windows require the use JS coding.

Perhaps this older thread or this newer thread on the Subject will help.

So I went through those post and tried everything...

this:
<form>
<input type="button" value=" View Template " onclick="window.open(\'popup_shipping_estimator.html\',\'mywindow\',\scrollbar s=yes,menubar=0,resizable=1,toolbar=no,width=780,height=590')" />
</form>

Remember this is in a sidebox....

whenever I put this code, the page stops loading at the side box... also, I don't want it to be a button, I want it to be a clickable image. I can figure that out later, if only I could get this form working... any ideas?

Ok, making some progress...

when I use this code:
<form>
<input type="button" value=" View Template "onclick="window.open(\'https://midwestapplianceparts.com/midtest/index.php?main_page=popup_shipping_estimator\',\'mywindow\',\'scrollbars=yes,men ubar=0,resizable=1,toolbar=no,width=780,height=590\')">
</form>

it works, but it is a form button

so then I try to change it to an image submit and I use this:

<form>
<input type="image" src="images/shipest.jpg" name="submit" value=" View Template "onclick="window.open(\'https://midwestapplianceparts.com/midtest/index.php?main_page=popup_shipping_estimator\',\'mywindow\',\'scrollbars=yes,men ubar=0,resizable=1,toolbar=no,width=780,height=590\')">
</form>

it works too... pops the window like I want... but...
when you roll over the image it shows the url of the page it is on and then goes there after you click...

so it pops the window and then changes the current window too...

very strange... any ideas?
