Change shipping module just to be a option with no money value

Hi all,

I am currently using v1.3.9h of Zen Cart and have a question regarding the default shipping modules.

Our checkout work as follows:

1. The client picks the item he's interested in and ads it to the cart system
2. Then he selects the shipping method which in our case is Post Office - Counter 2 Counter, Courier and Store pick up.
3. Once he selects checkout we receive his purchase request and then reply on his request with an official company quote with the latest price, our terms, contact information and banking details. Upon acceptance he then pays the money in to our bank account via EFT or Direct Bank Deposit.

The problem is we don't have a value in the shipping modules we are using and once the client reaches the part where he needs to pick his preferred shipping method there is a zero amount displayed next to the option, we don't want the client to get a misperception and maybe think that shipping is free.

Is there a way that we can edit the shipping files of that particular module to not display value in the cart area and only be a shipping option.

The files that was renamed where:

1. flat.php was changed to Post Office - Counter to Counter
2. item.php was changed to Courier

If you could point me in the right direction as to where I should go and what code I can remove if its that simple. Any advice would be appreciated.
I know the function files for the shipping modules are located in includes/modules/shipping/flat.php or includes/modules/shipping/item.php

Thanks in advance,

Jacques

You could customize the code, such as on the tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php using something like this would hide the $0.00 ...

<?php
            if ( ($n > 1) || ($n2 > 1) ) {
?>
<div class="important forward"><?php echo ($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost'] == 0 ? '' : $currencies->format(zen_add_tax($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost'], (isset($quotes[$i]['tax']) ? $quotes[$i]['tax'] : 0)))); ?></div>
<?php
            } else {
?>
<div class="important forward"><?php echo ($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost'] == 0 ? '' : $currencies->format(zen_add_tax($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost'], $quotes[$i]['tax'])) . zen_draw_hidden_field('shipping', $quotes[$i]['id'] . '_' . $quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['id'])); ?></div>
<?php
            }
?>

You can adapt that for other pages in the checkout and customize it further if you want Store Pickup to show $0.00 but another module at $0.00 not to show ...

Then place an order using it and check the customer account history for what needs to be adjusted there are well ...

It worked. Just want to say thank you for the speedy reply.

Thanks for the update that this helped you to hide the zero values on shipping for the checkout_shipping page ...
