Disable shipment and payment methods in shopping cart

[keb1965]

VM2.0.22c  and J2.5.14

This has been discussed in the last but there doesn't seem to be a real solution. I have looked at the shopping cart code and I have still not been able to completely understand the logic to be able to make effective edits. I had hoped there would be a configuration solution, but there doesn't seem to be one.

Here is the issue:

Registration is not required to be able to shop and place items in the shopping cart
Shipping is flat-rate and restricted to US customers only
Payment is paypal only

When viewing the shopping cart, the "No shipping method" and "No payment method" links display on the cart until they log in.

Because shipping is fixed and there is only one option and because payment is only through paypal I don't need to display either option on the shopping cart if the user isn't registered.

I just want the links and text to go away on the shopping cart when the user isn't logged in. I am ok if it diplays if they are logged in, just not if they are anonymous users.

I have only one shipping method and payment method defined and I have selected to automatically select shipping and payment methods.

I understand the concept of not being able to calculate shipping if you don't know where you are shipping the product, but because shipping will always be the same no matter what, I need to turn this off.

In Configuration/Checkout select both Enable Automatic Selected Shipment? and Enable Automatic Selected Payment?

To hide the payment name add the following css to the end of your Joomla template.css

.vmpayment_name,  .vmshipment_name {
    display: none;
}
