Change iso-code-2 to country name

I have searched and searched for the answer to this one :shocking: but havnt been able to find the answer anywhere.

Its a very simple question, how do I change the iso-code-2 display on the zones shipping, during checkout. Instead of it saying

Shipping to AK (1 x 3.00kg(s))
I want it to say
Shipping to Auckland (1 x 3.00kg(s))

Ive looked at the zones.php and can find where it says the following

// class methods
function quote($method = '') {
global $order, $shipping_weight, $shipping_num_boxes, $total_count;
$dest_country = $order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2'];
$dest_zone = 0;
$error = false;

I assumed that if I changed the iso_code_2 to say name that would do the job but it doesnt.

Any clues??

I'm surprised nobody responded to this earlier. Technically, if you do not use "Zone Rates" shipping (maybe others) you could change it to 'title'; but, that is an aweful hack. A better way to do it would be to create another variable and display that. I am using ZC version 1.3.8.

Hacking a core file, or "How can I make upgrading harder?"

includes/modules/shipping/zones.php

around line 118:

function quote($method = '') {
  global $order, $shipping_weight, $shipping_num_boxes, $total_count;

  $dest_country = $order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2'];
  // add the next line
  $dest_country_name = (($dest_title =$order->delivery['country']['title']) == '' ? $dest_country : $dest_title);

  $dest_zone = 0;
  $error = false;

Then change $dest_country to $dest_country_name in three places in the same file.

around line 174:

$shipping_method = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_WAY . ' ' . $dest_country_name . $show_box_weight; // change this line
$done = true;

around line 188:

if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices()) <= $zones_table[$i]) {
  $shipping = $zones_table[$i+1];
  $shipping_method = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_WAY . ' ' . $dest_country_name; // change this line

around line 202:

if (($total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_items()) <= $zones_table[$i]) {
  $shipping = $zones_table[$i+1];
  $shipping_method = MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_TEXT_WAY . ' ' . $dest_country_name; // change this line
  $done = true;

tried that it didnt work

A little more detail would be helpful to solve your problem. Try reverting all your changes (back to the way it was originally) and try the following: (hopefully you have a development server to try this on!)

includes/modules/shipping/zones.php

change this line:

  $dest_country = $order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2']; 

to this:

  $dest_country = $order->delivery['country']['title']; 

What does that look like? Note: this will screw up the shipping charges calculation, but should display the country name.
