Shipping method with dropdown selection?

Hi,

I have looked to shipping plugins and couldn't find anything what I need.
In our country we have very popular shipping method via terminals...and a lot buyers are asking for it. So I need shipping method where should be dropdown list with addresses/terminals selection. I should see this selection in back-end after order created as well.
How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Hello,

Can you give us more information about what you exactly want to do through some screenshots for example so that we can properly understand it and help you ?

Thank you.

Hi,

I have added some screenshots to be more clear. Basically it is same as per this thread, but I need only single selection. I also think this should be added to hikashop shipping plugin itself.
I could take one of hikashop shipping plugins and customize it to my needs but problem is that I don't know how to add it that these options/terminal addresses could be added in plugin so buyer could choose and after order, it should be shown in back-end order view so I would know which terminal buyer has chosen. Is there a easy way to do it?

Hello,

I also think this should be added to hikashop shipping plugin itself.

Hi,

Sorry for late replay.
What I am looking to is this:

Inside plugin to have some inputs where I could write addresses or it can be checkboxes as most shipping plugins have... Then these should be displayed on checkout in that shipping method. Dropdown or whatever.... After selection and placed order it should be visible in back-end order view. I think this is simple task for someone with better php knowledge then me.

So if it is possible could you please give me some simple example how can I have input label to be displayed in shipping method?

Or another solution to show table->order custom fields in shipping method?

Thanks

Hi,

1. Thats sounds like a good idea but what if i have 2 shipping methods with terminals? What if i wish to use custom fields for another thing in checkout? Example: Notes.
So there is no way to display it on shipping method itself?

2. Also i am looking for someone to create one of these kind plugins for me but i affraid that this require some modifications on checkout itself and after hikashop 3 release i will have to do it again...

3. I have looked into ups, fedex, usps shipping plugins and they have shipping option selection in configuration (checkboxes) I wanted to see how it looks on front-end but none of these shipping methods showed up on my checkout. Is this because I had no Api, username entered in configuration......?

Update. So it seems i wil stick with custom field. I have created some and found what i need. However i still have some questions.

4. Your code provided will display custom field if xxx shipping method selected. How can i have that custom field show if xxx shipping method selected and other custom field (Note) to be shown else there always?

5.How can i display selected terminal/custom field value title in checkout status field near selected shipping method.

Now we have this.

Your shipping method is: Omniva terminal

But i need to have this.

Your shipping method is: Omniva terminal >selected value title here<

Same applys to order creation notification email and Front-end order details page.

6. Your code provided seems not working (some fatal errors...), i have changed continue to return false and it started to work, not sure is it right...
How can i have custom field to be shown only with one of shipping methods selected? I have 7 shipping methods.... I tried to modify yours but it didnt work for me.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for help Nicolas.
It seems everything can be done with custom fields. All works find but just need some css for better look...
However I still do have one problem.

I have created one manual shipping method for terminals shipping.
In our country we have 2 shipping terminals providers. So I would like to use them both.
I am configuring custom fields like this.:

Created custom field with field type radio buttons, named it Terminal, with two values. First name Omniva, second name Lpexpress.
Then created custom field with field type single dropdown and named it Omniva and assigned it to custom field Terminal to value Omniva
Then created custom field with field type single dropdown and named it Lpexpress and assigned it to custom field Terminal to value Lpexpress.

So I would like that then people select terminal shipping they could choose to deliver parcel to Omniva or Lpexpress terminals.
Basically I have created switcher with single dropdown selection....

Now the problem is that this code provided will display field value.

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$order = $app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.checkout_fields',null);
echo $order->XXX;

Thank you very much for help.

Can I have help once more please?

I have configured everything and it seems to work but If any other shipping method is selected it will show default value of YYY near shipping method name. How can I hide it? I have tried to use if condition depending on shipping method id but it didn't work.
I could add space or something but I have used default value as a notice: Warning no terminal selected! and it will display if nothing has been chosen by the buyer...

Hi,

1. Thanks for help!

Ended up with this:

if($shipping->shipping_name == 'Pristatyti i terminala' && $text1 == '0') {
			$text1 = ' Demesio klaida!';
		}elseif ($text1 == '0') $text1 = '';
        if($text2 == '0') $text2 = ' Demesio klaida!';

$shipping_id = $app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.shipping_id');
if($shipping_id == '8@0' && $text1 == '0') {
			$text1 = ' Demesio klaida!';
		}elseif ($text1 == '0') $text1 = '';
        if($text2 == '0') $text2 = ' Demesio klaida!';

Hello,

I even tried to do var dumb and clearly could see shipping_id

Hi,

This is what I had when used shipping method with id=8 and used that code in status view:

var_dump($shipping_id);

array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "8@0" }

Hi,

1.I was thinking about it too but I will have to create about 60 custom fields and limit everyone to one of these values/titles. Am I correct?
Wont it be to much custom fields for it

2. is there a way to see hikashop 3 preview somewhere or what changes it will have? Any release date?

Thanks
