Select shipping not showing until login

[Freshview]

Hi,

Am I missing something in the new checkout. When you first load the chekout page, it says 'No shipment selected', but when you click 'select shipment' the page loads, no shipping option is available.
Once you create an account, it gets you to pick the shipping method. Why can you not select this before you login?
Have I missed a setting for this?

Regards
Phil

That's correct. Shipping cost and maybe actual shipper will usually depend on delivery address/country so that has to be entered first. I'd remove the shipment method option from the first checkout view.

Where does one do that? I don't see anything in configuration/checkout. If it's a question of modifying a PHP file, which file is it?

Why is there no answer to this question....

Hi,

I am using the single page checkout in VM2, please advise which option I need to change to facilitate the removal of the 'select shipper' when not logged in, as I have not found an obvious solution to this.

It seems very odd that you would have set this to show in the first place if it is not possible to set shipping when not logged in.

Would like to get this resolved, as I would not want to put this on a live site as it is.

can somebody answer this question?

Does anybody hold the answer to this question I am in the same boat as other people and would prefer this off or at least change the message to "please login to view shipping methods".

Obviously people have figured this out but some assistance would be much appreciated

The template view files are editable - they are in joomla_root/components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/

And the language files are in joomla-root/language/en-GB/ - or whatever language you use.

If you make edits use overrides so the changes doe not get overwritten during the next update.

Is there two pieces of coding in the template file, that we need to find

1 the link which should allow you to select a shipping method before logging in (the link which doesn't work), which needs to be deleted
2 coding which allows you to select your delivery methods once logged in
