Pre-select highest shipping cost instead of lowest

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone explain how I can change the pre-selected lowest shipping rate to be the highest please?
I'm using different shipping modules in various combinations for different products:-

Freeshipper
Perweightunit
Tables (Cloned)

I'm not using the shipping modules for actual shipping purposes but for monthly fees and I want to encourage customers to choose the highest rate.

Ive seen the thread to stop any shipping methods being pre-selected here http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?90218-Eliminate-pre-selecting-shipping-method but thats not what I need.

I hope someone can explain the maths needed for this to work.

Thanks

I haven't tested it, but you could try the following...

Edit /includes/classes/shipping.php
Around line 176 you'll see the following. Try changing the < to > instead:

          if ($rates[$i]['cost'] [B]<[/B] $cheapest['cost'] and $rates[$i]['module'] != 'storepickup') {

Thanks DrByte for this help and all the other posts you have made over some time.

That did the trick :smile:
