Wrong first choice of delivery

[gwu777]

Hi there,

I have the choice between 2 means of delivery, a cheap slow one and a fast expensive one. I made the cheap slow one the default one in the BO.

However when I place and order, it is always the expensive one that comes first, why is it and how can I change that?

In order.php right above where wrapping fees are set (line 357 in 1.2.4), you can sort $resultsArray where the carriers are stored:

function pricesort($a, $ { if ($a['price'] == $b['price']) return 0; return ($a['price'] < $b['price'])? -1 : 1; }
usort($resultsArray, "pricesort");

I'm trying to figure out a way to do this where you don't modify core files but I haven't gotten that far into it yet.

If someone who is knowledgeable about Smarty could explain how to add this logic to order-carrier.tpl (or perhaps another more suitable location) that would be great!

Hi swguy,

Welcome to PS, I have used some module for a previous OsC, Quantity Discounts for osCommerce 2.2 - Thank you very much for your hard work.

Thank you for helping me again...

I have tried the above in the order.php, it didn't work. However, as the "chose the default transporter" doesn't work, I have edited las the cheap delivery option and saved the non-changes, it gave an id higer than the expensive one and now it is the option selected by default in the shop. Although it appears under the expensive one which I don't find logical... Apparently it organises the delivery option based only on the id of the option.

Anyone else with this problem, or is it just a bug on my shop?

[swguy]

It does use the id. You have to sort by price the way my code did - sorry it was not compatible with your files. (Are you using ps 1.2.4?)

[gwu777]

I am using 1.2.3 but it should be the same... No worries for your code, I may try it another day! Shouldn't the option in the BO to select the default carrier takes care of this?

[swguy]

BO does select the default carrier (according to my testing) - it's just that the ordering is odd - I too would expect the selected item to be first, but as you noted, it's by ID.

BTW, sweet code coming from me to Prestashop soon!

I have come across this same problem many times, and I found a work-around solution.

 

Edit the option you want in order. Every time you edit a record, it is pushed down because for some reason it is ordered based on last change date.

 

You don't need to really edit it, just put a space at the end of the name for example. This is how I do it.
