FedEx Package Type for International Addresses in X-Cart
Written by Administrator

I just completed a simple X-Cart mod that will let you specify a different default FedEx package type for international addresses in X-Cart. Normally, when using the FedEx Direct integration method with X-Cart you can only specify a package type for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground service. I ran into a situation with a client who needed to specify FedEx ExpressPak as the package type only for international addresses, so I whipped up this simple mod which you might find helpful...
OPEN: /admin/shipping_options.php
FIND:
'packaging_gnd' => $packaging_gnd,
AFTER ADD:
'packaging_int' => $packaging_int, //added by brettbrewer.com so pak rates could be used only for international rates
BEFORE ADD: {* start brettbrewer.com added so we could set package type for international addresses *} <tr> <td><b>{$lng.lbl_packaging} (FedEx International):</b></td> <td> <select name="packaging_int"> <option value="FEDEXENVELOPE"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEXENVELOPE"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx Envelope</option> <option value="FEDEXPAK"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEXPAK"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx Pak</option> <option value="FEDEXBOX"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEXBOX"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx Box</option> <option value="FEDEXTUBE"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEXTUBE"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx Tube</option> <option value="FEDEX10KGBOX"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEX10KGBOX"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx 10Kg Box</option> <option value="FEDEX25KGBOX"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "FEDEX25KGBOX"} selected="selected"{/if}>FedEx 25Kg Box</option> <option value="YOURPACKAGING"{if $shipping_options.fdx.packaging_int eq "YOURPACKAGING"} selected="selected"{/if}>My packaging</option> </select> </td> </tr> {* end brettbrewer.com added so we could set package type for international addresses *}
OPEN: /shipping/mod_FEDEX_direct.php FIND: 'packaging_gnd' => 'FEDEXENVELOPE', AFTER ADD: 'packaging_int' => 'FEDEXENVELOPE',//added by brettbrewer.com for international default package type
FIND: $fedex_options['packaging'] = ($_carrier_code == 'FDXE' ? $fedex_options['packaging_exp'] : $fedex_options['packaging_gnd']); AFTER ADD: //brettbrewer.com added to override the package type for international addresses only.... we override the package type for either express or ground... //...default to FEDEXPAK package type if($userinfo['s_country'] != 'US'){ $fedex_options['packaging'] = $fedex_options['packaging_int']?$fedex_options['packaging_int']:"FEDEXPAK"; }
