Remove state & zipcode from Shipping Estimator?

I am using the shipping estimator & royal mail download to estimate shipping costs, but as I am in the UK the only information needed to accurately calculate the cost is the country.

Is there any way I can remove the state and zipcode fields?

Still looking for an answer to this if anyone can help??? :(

I've been looking for a solution to this over an year now.. I would LOVE to know how to remove them as well..

Actually in the newer versions at least (1.3.7) this is really easy to do apparently. I remember having problems whit 1.2... just open template modules_shipping_estimator and remove or set to false state and zip...

Change in includes/modules/shipping_estimator.php ?

But how exactly? Im in sweden and dont need the state-choice either, unforunately im not skilled enough to figure it out myself either.

Well as you all asked so nicely :smile:

Open the following file:
includes\templates\YOUR TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

Find the and remove the following code:

<label class="inputLabel" for="stateZone" id="zoneLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?></label>

<label class="inputLabel"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?></label>

Done :smile:

That did the trick

Thanks a lot Ivum! :cheers:

Forgot to tell you how to automatically update the Country so there is no need for the update button and will save your customers some time!

Open the following file:
includes\templates\YOUR TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php

Find the following code

<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" onchange="update_zone(this.form);"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Replace that code with the following code

<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" onChange="this.form.submit();"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Remove the following code

<div class="buttonRow forward"><a href="_" onclick="return shipincart_submit('');"><?php echo  zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_UPDATE, BUTTON_UPDATE_ALT); ?></a></div>

Hi,

Great fix.
Thanx

Ronald.

Hello

when replacing the code above to remove the update button and refresh straight away my estimator stops working. when you choose a different country etc te postage doesn't change. anyone else had this?

it does refresh ok but doesn't change as it should. i would like to remove this button to make it easier so has anyone else had this?

thanks:cry:

Even without the button removed it doesn't seem to work. When I click on say the US and click update it refreshes but then switches back to the UK giving the UK postage costs as well.

Thank you ivum for your help.

I just accidentally landed at this post as I was looking for some bug fix for my shipping estimator side box.

However I could use this information to improve my shipping estimator module :-)

Only thing is, that the pop up window is still the same size as before, but now it shows less information and it looks a bit empty ;-)

Someone got an idea where to define the size of this pop up window ?

Open the following file:
includes\modules\pages\shopping_cart\jscript_main.php

Find the following code:
window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=550,height=550,screenX=150,screenY=100,top=100,left=150')

Change the height and the width numbers to what you need them set at :)

I dont want to be posting the same question in 2 separate forums, Re: my post in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114780

but as a State is a zone, does removing state & zip not prevent you from using zone rates in payment modules?

Ivum:

Even without the button removed it doesn't seem to work. When I click on say the US and click update it refreshes but then switches back to the UK giving the UK postage costs as well.

I don't suppose anyone managed to figure this out?

I'm having the same problem, when you do what we're told above it works on my 1.3.8 site but not on my 1.3.7. When you change the country from UK to USA for example, it does try to refresh but the country that is selected changes back to UK and still shows the UK Postage.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks

Here is my tpl_modules_shipping_estimator.php file in case anyone knows what the problem is and is generous enough to help.

The relevant bit for the country drop down and the update button start at line 51.

Thanks

I have the same 'Country' not changed after the "update" button.
