[NOT A BUG] Can't find "Disable Shipping" checkbox.

[devonvmz]

I'm unable to locate the "Disable Shipping" checkbox.

I'm using Joomla 1.52 with VM 1.1 RC3, revision 1367 2008-04-10

I looked for the checkbox for "Disable Shipping ..." in the configuration form, tab "shipping",
an don't see it anywhere on the page.

Don't know if this is a bug, my system, browser etc.

Thank you!

I looked in the manual and did not see where to find the "Disable Shipping" checkbox.

from the VM 1.0 version, and your post at http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31381.0, dated 09 April 2008 RE: checkbox for "Disable Shipping ..." in the configuration form, tab "shipping", I'm assuming that the checkbox for "Disable Shipping" is located in Admin --> Configuration --> Tab --> Shipping. And if that is the location of the checkbox, then I have none.

Thank you for your help!

I thought this was a bug - but the developer answer is "It has been removed, because it's unnecessary. Uncheck the checkbox for "Step 2" in the checkout instead."

Makes sense, one thing less to configure.

I'm wondering if this is in fact a bug?  This checkbox looks to have been a flag for if the shipping information is displayed on the order email, the account index page, and other places in VM.

Even when I have the checkout checkbox for "Please select a shipping method" unchecked, I still see the shipping information on the account.index.tpl.php page.  The php flag on the shipping information is:

Code Select Expand


    if(NO_SHIPTO != '1') {
?>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>

<tr>
  <td><hr />
  <strong><a href="<?php $sess->purl(SECUREURL . "index.php?page=account.shipping") ?>"><?php
                  echo "<img src=\"".VM_THEMEURL."images/web.png\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" height=\"32\" width=\"32\" alt=\"".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ACC_SHIP_INFO')."\" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
                  echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ACC_SHIP_INFO') ?></a></strong>
                        <br />
                        <?php echo $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ACC_UPD_SHIP') ?>
                  </td>
                </tr>
                <?php
}


Since I have the checkbox unchecked and the shipping is still being displayed, I'm wondering if the above php logic is still tied to the old "no shipping" checkbox?

Hope this helps others that do not need shipping for their online stores!

It would be nice to mention that in the user manual.
