AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it through a search.

Right now it looks like the shipping estimator on the Basket page is returning estimates for businesses rather than residential. Is there any way to change this -- do I have it configured wrong somewhere?

In ConLib/BasketShippingEstimate.ascx in method

protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

add this line

estimateAddress.Residence = true;

after

estimateAddress.PostalCode = safePostalCode;

so SubmitButton_Click method would look like

protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
string safePostalCode = StringHelper.StripHtml(PostalCode.Text);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(safePostalCode))
{
safePostalCode = Regex.Replace(safePostalCode.ToUpperInvariant(), "[^A-Z0-9]", string.Empty);
// PACKAGE THE BASKET TO ENSURE ALL SHIPPABLE PRODUCTS ARE IN A SHIPMENT
Basket myBasket = Token.Instance.User.Basket;
myBasket.Package();

// CREATE AN ADDRESS INSTANCE TO HOLD ESTIMATE DESTINATION
Address estimateAddress = new Address();
bool isCA = Regex.Match(safePostalCode, "^[A-Z][0-9][A-Z][0-9][A-Z][0-9]$").Success;
estimateAddress.CountryCode = isCA ? "CA" : "US";
estimateAddress.PostalCode = safePostalCode;
estimateAddress.Residence = true;

Works great. Thanks!

I added this, but still get business quotes.

Any thoughts? I really need to get every quote to be residential.

Just noticed this was an Able 5.5 post.

Thoughts on Able 7?

It could be because that you may be modifying the wrong version of control, check related scriptlet to confirm the path of shipping estimate control being used. I mean to say that you may be using it from ConLib/Custom if you have some modified version of this control in ConLib/Custom folder

I did this and it worked. I'm using UPS only. It didn't work if I tried it in the one in the Custom folder.

Does anyone have the code for this for AC 7?

This works from the post above:

estimateAddress.Residence = true;

It just doesn't work if the control is in the Custom folder.

Hi Judy,

You created a Custom/BasketShippingEstimate file for me. So, I won't be able to enter that line of code to have it return Residential rates?

Thank you.
