Auto select default shipping method

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.39

If I set "Auto select default shipping and payment methods" to Yes, it is not selecting the least expensive shipping option. I have USPS and FedEx shipping enabled, but it always selects the least expensive FedEx option, even if there is a less expensive USPS option.

If that is the case, then it is not working correctly. I have USPS ordered to display before FedEx.

Hi,

Please provide screenshots of the shipping methods listing and the settings of FedEx and USPS.
This way we will be able to reproduce the issue on our end and debug that.

Here's the screenshots.

Here's one more.

Hello,
Can you clear your browser cache and try it again to be sure that it's not coming from it ?

I tried it on a different browser and deleting out the browser cache. It still selects the cheapest FedEx option, which is more expensive than the cheapest USPS option.

Hello,
I succeed to reproduce your issue, the solution will be to edit the code of the "components\com_hikashop\views\checkout\view.html.php" file and change these lines :

foreach($shipping_groups as $key => $shipping_group) {
	$p = reset($shipping_group->shippings);
	foreach($usable_rates as $rate) {
		if($rate->shipping_id == $p) {
			$rates[] = $rate;
			$shipping_id[] = $rate->shipping_id.'@'.$key;
			$shipping_method[] = $rate->shipping_type.'@'.$key;
			break;
		}
	}
}

foreach($shipping_groups as $key => $shipping_group) {
	foreach($usable_rates as $rate) {
		if(in_array($rate->shipping_id, $shipping_group->shippings)) {
			$rates[] = $rate;
			$shipping_id[] = $rate->shipping_id.'@'.$key;
			$shipping_method[] = $rate->shipping_type.'@'.$key;
			break;
		}
	}
}

I made that change, cleared the site cache, cleared the browser cache, cleared out the shopping cart, and still have the same problem.

I do notice a similar block of code in the &initCart() function that may also need changing.

foreach($shipping_groups as $key => $shipping_group) {
	$p = reset($shipping_group->shippings);
	foreach($usable_rates as $rate) {
		if($rate->shipping_id == $p && (!isset($rate->shipping_warehouse_id) || $rate->shipping_warehouse_id === $key)) {
			$rates[] = $rate;
			$shipping_ids[] = $rate->shipping_id.'@'.$key;
			$shipping_methods[] = $rate->shipping_type.'@'.$key;
			break;
		}
	}
}

I was just pointing out another similar chunk of code. This is obviously a bug and as such, each place where the problem could be occurring should be examined.

Any update on this issue?

Hello,
Yes, I made a fix regarding that issue which will be available within few hours, so you'll just have to download the last Hikashop version through our website, install it and test it again.
Don't forget to clear your browser cache/session before testing it.

I downloaded and installed the latest package today and I am still having the same problem. I tried on two different browsers, even after clearing the browser cache.

That's weird, the patch fixed that issue on my end, can you give me a temporary FTP access (through our contact form) to your website so that I can see if the patch was correctly applied.
If you're still having that issue despite the new patch, I'll be able to test it and to fix it on your end.
Thanks.

The patch wasn't applied on the "administrator\components\com_hikashop\classes\shipping.php" file, I just added it manually, can you test it again ?
Thanks.

That fixed the problem. Though, I would have thought that installing the latest package would have had the updated file in it.

I was going to add a free shipping option for those that wish to pickup their order in person. However, this does end up defaulting to that option, even though the vast majority of our customers are not local. I assume that there isn't a way to get this to default to the lowest rate that isn't zero, or is there?
