Make shipping option default
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
I have shipping options on my ecommerce cart. The options are all unselected radio buttons. If a user doesnt select one, they are not charged. I need to make the first option selected by default.
This is the part im looking at:
<?php echo $form->radio('shippingMethodID', $sm->getID(), $o->getOrderShippingMethodID())?>
<?php echo $sm->getName()?> <?php if ($sm->getPrice() > 0) { print t('(Cost: <strong>%s</strong>)', $sm->getDisplayPrice()); } else { print t('(Cost: <strong>Free</strong>)'); } ?>
many thanks

At least when I've used eCommerce, it tells me an error if I don't choose a shipping option "You must specify a shipping method.".
However, if you want the first option to be selected by default, I think that can be accomplished by overriding the element template you also took the code from (elements/checkout/shipping/method.php).
The thing you need to do is here.
Change this:
To this:
This should select the first one in the list automatically if your order does not have a shipping method defined yet.
