Question on Methods

[dave01978]

OK so I think I am having a dumb moment, I recently added USPS to my cart after a few customer requests, but it shows up first, I would like it to be last but do not see any sort order anywhere,

I would like to put my custom Economy first as its the cheapest choice, followed by FedEx then USPS can someone explain how to do this, as i spent about 30mins trying to figure this thing out.

We don't have a feature to do this unfortunately. You can do it by modifying the checkout_ship.tpl.php template file. For info on working with template files, see here:
http://www.squirrelcart.com/help/?Mo...Templates.html

To do this:
1. In your custom theme copy of checkout_ship.tpl.php, locate this code:

<?php foreach($Couriers as $Courier): ?>

2. Before that line, add this:

        <?php
        // the order you want, via Shipping_Couriers.record_number
        $order = array(2,1);
        
        // create an array of couriers, indexed by record_number
        $couriers_by_rn = array();
        foreach($Couriers as $Courier) $couriers_by_rn[$Courier['record_number']] = $Courier;

        // create an array of those couriers in the order specified
        $couriers_ordered = array();
        foreach($order as $rn) {
            if (!empty($couriers_by_rn[$rn])) {
                $couriers_ordered[$rn] = $couriers_by_rn[$rn];
                unset($couriers_by_rn[$rn]);
            }
        }

        // if any couriers are left that weren't in $order, add them to the end
        if (!empty($couriers_by_rn)) $couriers_ordered = array_merge($couriers_ordered, $couriers_by_rn);

        // put them back where they belong
        $Couriers = $couriers_ordered;
        ?>

3. Change the numbers in this line to represent the Shipping Courier record numbers in the order you want them to appear:

$order = array(2,1);

You can leave out ones you don't care about.

4. Save the file
