How to set default shipping option?

[GraphicsGuy]

I am setting up real time quote modules for UPS, FedEx and USPS. By default, the shipping portion of osCommerce selects the lowest cost method.

 

For my situation, I wish to have it always default to UPS Ground.

 

Does anybody know a way to accomplish this or where the code is located that is making this selection?

I found the line of code performing the automatic selection.

 

Line 145 in checkout_shipping.php

 

if ( !tep_session_is_registered('shipping') || ( tep_session_is_registered('shipping') && ($shipping == false) && (tep_count_shipping_mod$

 

I commented it out and tested the cart. All looks fine. I would still like to have it default to UPS Ground, but will settle for no automatic selection.

 

When I have more time I will play with it more to default it to UPS Ground and post it here.

 

But if anyone else has accomplished this already, please reply with the edit needed.

 

Thanks.

Hi GraphicsGuy

 

in includes/classes/shipping.php on line 128

 

        $cheapest = false;
       for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($rates); $i<$n; $i++) {
         if (is_array($cheapest)) {
           if ($rates[$i]['cost'] < $cheapest['cost']) {
             $cheapest = $rates[$i];
           }
         } else {
           $cheapest = $rates[$i];

 

just change the < to a > thus making the code:

 

        $cheapest = false;
       for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($rates); $i<$n; $i++) {
         if (is_array($cheapest)) {
           if ($rates[$i]['cost'] > $cheapest['cost']) {
             $cheapest = $rates[$i];
           }
         } else {
           $cheapest = $rates[$i];

 

Hey presto it works ;)

Thanks Jamsy.

 

Actually that casues it to default to the most expensive option. But it did identify some more code that I might experiment with when I can take the time.

 

I am sure that once I dig into the variables involved, it will be possible to make it default to UPS Ground.

 

I am new to osCommerce and to this forum. I am impressed with the structure and versatility of osCommerce and with the helpful, friendly nature of this forum. I look forward to getting to the point of being able to contribute.
