$0 cost shipping not selected by default

[tc0nn]

Don't know if this has been discussed or fixed, but I had items over $40 ship free, but when the shipping methods appeared, the first non-$0 method would be selected by default. to fix:

 

Line 100 in catalog/includes/shipping.php...

if (isset($quotes['methods'][$i]['cost']) && tep_not_null($quotes['methods'][$i]['cost'])) {

 

simply change to:

if (isset($quotes['methods'][$i]['cost'])){

[n2advnture]

there doesn't appear to be a "shipping.php" under catalog/includes...

Many thanks for this quick fix - it had been a little above my PHP abilities to track this down.

 

The correct location for the file to change is: catalog/includes/classes/shipping.php

Hi,

I use an older version of oscommerce and am also trying to get it so that the "Pickup $0" option is not the default shipping method.

I have copied below my shipping.php file. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi-

Oops, you are using quite old version of Oscommerce.

In newer version you would edit the shipping.php class file, but the version you are using. You would edit the modules/shipping/item.php.

Just make the cheapest() return $shipping_cheapest = 'item';

That shall work for any shipping methods that you want to make default selected.

Go to the corresponding module file and modify the cheapest().

Thanks

10 years after this original thread, I made the code change recommended in the top post by tc0nn, and it worked! 

 

My situation - my site is set up to default to the cheapest of two shipping methods, Priority Mail and Express Mail.  Today, I decided to offer free Priority Mail shipping, but in making it free, the site now defaulted to Express Mail (certainly not the cheapest).  After reading many, many threads on this topic, I stumbled upon this one, and my problem was solved!

 

Thank you!!
