List shipping costs in shopping cart?

I can confirm there's a problem with the total when switching currencies. I'll see if I can figure this out.

Hi, these changes seem to fix it:

Hi,
That certainly did the trick.
Thank you.

Hi,
One last thing. Is it possible to display the currency code in Total?

**Steven300** · 7 Apr 2009, 11:23 PM

Sure, just make the following changes to tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

Find:

PHP Code:


<div id="sricTotal"><?php echo SRIC_WORD_TOTAL . ":"; ?> <?php echo $currency_symbol . $sric_total ?></div>

Replace with:

PHP Code:


<div id="sricTotal"><?php echo SRIC_WORD_TOTAL . ":"; ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['currency'] . " " . $currency_symbol . $sric_total ?></div>

Find:

PHP Code:


<div id="sricTotal"><?php echo SRIC_WORD_TOTAL . ":"; ?> <?php echo $cartShowTotal; ?></div>

Replace with:

PHP Code:


<div id="sricTotal"><?php echo SRIC_WORD_TOTAL . ":"; ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['currency'] . " " . $cartShowTotal; ?></div>

(There are a few instances for each of the two changes)

I think I'll add this as an admin option for the next version.

You have done a great work to simplfy this matter. There are also many other useless information given to the customer at the checkout stages that irritates me. Why tell people Flat Rate, Table Rate or (Best Way). I am sure all these terminology are jibberish and confusing to normal people. Just Shipping or Delivery would be sufficient. I also find Step 1 page is unnecessary. All it does to give a last minute opportunity if the customer wants to change the delivery address and perhaps shipping method. Yes usefull but is it really necessary.

I had no idea what Table Rate meant before starting with Zen Cart, so I would be hesitant in displaying that particular term to the customer. Flat Rate I think is different because most people would know this and they might add more products to the cart if they know that the delivery charge isn't going to increase. Flat Rate aside, I agree, simply displaying 'delivery' or 'shipping' is better.
