One-Page Checkout [Support Thread]

[lat9]

No, must admit not sure how to do that. That said I am more interested in your prior comment -

That hidden input is most likely being "overwritten" by the base form's address-selection

To this person who is pretty rubbish at forms, what does this mean, and where would I look to correct this ?

You need to "View Source" when the checkout_one page is presented (that's Ctrl+U on FireFox) to see if there are multiple inputs named zone_country_id[ship].

Setting up an AU Zone for shipping is fairly simple (although multi-step):

Localizations->Zone Definitions, click Insert. Zone Name: AU Shipping Zone Description: Limit shipping to AU-only, press Enter.
Now, click the Details button associated with that Zone Definition: Country: AU Zone: All Zones (some versions of Zen Cart show this as Please select), press Enter.

Now navigate to Modules->Shipping. Select each of your active shipping modules and set the Shipping Zone to AU Shipping. That will enable those shipping selections to be active only when the ship-to address is in Australia.

Definately only one zone_country_id[ship]- most frustrating!

Thanks, got that, however zipship doesn't allow zone selection.

I don't know what version of ZipShip you're using, but the most recent version, v2.0.1, has added support for a Shipping Zone.

OK, will need to upgrade zipship - still using original version.

Another question - how would I 'blank out' the default shipping information on this page - or at the very least just the zipcode.

Might sound silly but its quite important for what I am trying to do.

If you give me a tad more insight into what you're trying to do, it would help me help you.

The background:
Basically we only deliver locally in our own vans or via courier, hence the use of the zipship module. A large proportion of our deliveries are gifts so frequently the shipping and billing won't match, and in many cases the billing address will be interstate or overseas.

To avoid (in particular) overseas customers making mistakes with suburb vs postcode I have an input select list of suburbs we deliver to, and on selection it populates the postcode field. There are many suburbs of Perth we do not deliver to and we also wish to avoid customers fudging the booking by putting in a false postcode against somewhere we don't go. It will happen - was only yesterday discussing with a colleague who is constantly blamed by customers who themselves have put the wrong information in.

This has worked really well prior to OPC, as well as with OPC v1.

The Problems
A. Because OPC is now truely one page without the edit address buttons, the zipship module is quoting a rate based on the billing postcode prepopulating the shipping postcode. Even though my form is showing errors without a 'city' being selected, the user is able to click checkout and move forward to payment. Hence I don't want the shipping info prepopulated because I want to force the customer to enter shipping suburb/postcode separately (and correctly).

B. I don't understand why my input select doesn't work.

@royaldave, thanks for the update. I'm in the middle of a couple of projects right now, but will take a look now that I understand your requirements when I've got a little down-time.
