Thank you for taking the time to review my modifications and to modify the code to suit my wants. I definitely appreciate your assistance. It works beautifully, even if it's not pretty

It's nice to let customers know how long the different shipping methods are expected to take.

For anyone else who is looking to display a rough estimate on shipping times (other than what is given by the Post Office), here is what we did to modify the xml file:

After "$result = str_replace(' 2-3 Days', '', $result);" (about line 25) insert:

Code: Select all

//The next 4 lines search for the service names, and replace them with the modified version
            $result = str_replace('Priority Mail&#8482;', 'Priority Mail&#8482; (2-3 Days)', $result);
            $result = str_replace('Priority Mail Express&#8482;', 'Priority Mail Express&#8482; (1-3 Days)', $result);
            $result = str_replace('Standard Post&#174;', 'Standard Post&#174; (2-9 Days)', $result);
            $result = str_replace('First-Class Mail&#174; Parcel;', 'First-Class Mail&#174; (2-5 Days)', $result);]]>

Then again around line 72 (just before <file name="admin/language/english/shipping/usps.php" error="log">) add:

Code: Select all

<!-- Optional Code for adding shipping estimates to First Class methods -->        
        <operation>
           <search position="after" offset="13"><![CDATA[} elseif ($this->config->get('usps_domestic_' . $classid)) {]]></search>
           <add><![CDATA[                                 if($quote_data[$classid]['title'] == 'First-Class Mail&#174; Parcel') {
                                    $quote_data[$classid]['title'] = 'First-Class Mail&#174; Parcel (2-5 Days)';
                                 }]]></add>
        </operation>
        <operation>
           <search position="after" offset="13"><![CDATA[if (($this->config->get('usps_domestic_' . $classid))) {]]></search>
           <add><![CDATA[                                 if($quote_data[$classid]['title'] == 'First-Class Mail&#174; Parcel') {
                                    $quote_data[$classid]['title'] = 'First-Class Mail&#174; Parcel (2-5 Days)';
                                 }]]></add>
        </operation>

Thanks again- Debbie
