How I take the shipping method output in totals frame in Magento - magento

Question

The Magento checkout has a line that show the totals in the file:
frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/review/info.phtml
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('totals'); ?>
But this line shows also the shipping method if customer choose a freight method and I didn't find this to take it of my total page, I know that I can't delete it from the database because this information is used in the freight choice.

Answer 1

For removing this data from the total you need to override the following classes:
To hide it in shopping cart page:
Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Shipping::fetch() method needs to be overridden via custom module:
public function fetch(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address $address)
{
$originalShippingDescription = $address->getShippingDescription(); // Keep old description value
$address->unsShippingDescription(); // Removes description of shipping method
parent::fetch($address);
$address->setShippingDescription($originalShippingDescription); // Sets back original description of shipping method
return $this;
}
To hide it on order overview pages in the user account, you need to perform another customization of Mage_Sales_Block_Order_Totals class. For this purpose you need to create a new block extended from Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
Create block in some your custom module
<?php
class Custom_Module_Block_Shipping_Total extents Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
{
public function initTotals()
{
if ($this->getParentBlock() && $this->getParentBlock()->getTotal('shipping')) {
$this->getParentBlock()->getTotal('shipping')->setLabel($this->__('Shipping & Handling'));
}
}
}
Add layout updates to include you block into order view.
<layout>
<!-- Your custom total on invoices view -->
<custom_invoice_totals>
<reference name="invoice_totals">
<block name="custom_total" type="custom_module/shipping_total" />
</reference>
</custom_invoice_totals>
<!-- Your custom total on shipments view -->
<custom_shipment_totals>
<reference name="shipment_totals">
<block name="custom_total" type="custom_module/shipping_total" />
</reference>
</custom_shipment_totals>
<!-- Your custom total on creditmemos view -->
<custom_creditmemo_totals>
<reference name="creditmemo_items">
<block name="custom_total" type="custom_module/shipping_total" />
</reference>
</custom_creditmemo_totals>
<!-- Applying your handles to particular pages in customer account -->
<sales_order_view>
<update handle="custom_order_totals" />
</sales_order_view>
<sales_order_print>
<update handle="custom_order_totals" />
</sales_order_print>
<sales_email_order_items>
<update handle="custom_order_totals" />
</sales_email_order_items>
<!-- applies your total in email -->
<sales_email_order_items>
<update handle="custom_order_totals" />
</sales_email_order_items>
<sales_guest_view>
<update handle="custom_order_totals" />
</sales_guest_view>
<!-- invoice pages -->
<sales_order_invoice>
<update handle="custom_invoice_totals" />
</sales_order_invoice>
<sales_order_printinvoice>
<update handle="custom_invoice_totals" />
</sales_order_printinvoice>
<sales_email_order_invoice_items>
<update handle="custom_invoice_totals" />
</sales_email_order_invoice_items>
<sales_guest_invoice>
<update handle="custom_invoice_totals" />
</sales_guest_invoice>
<!-- shipment pages -->
<sales_order_shipment>
<update handle="custom_shipment_totals" />
</sales_order_shipment>
<sales_order_printshipment>
<update handle="custom_shipment_totals" />
</sales_order_printshipment>
<sales_email_order_shipment_items>
<update handle="custom_shipment_totals" />
</sales_email_order_shipment_items>
<sales_guest_shipment>
<update handle="custom_shipment_totals" />
</sales_guest_shipment>
<!-- creditmemo pages -->
<sales_order_creditmemo>
<update handle="custom_creditmemo_totals" />
</sales_order_creditmemo>
<sales_order_printcreditmemo>
<update handle="custom_creditmemo_totals" />
</sales_order_printcreditmemo>
<sales_email_order_creditmemo_items>
<update handle="custom_creditmemo_totals" />
</sales_email_order_creditmemo_items>
<sales_guest_creditmemo>
<update handle="custom_creditmemo_totals" />
</sales_guest_creditmemo>
</layout>
After such customization on all pages on the frontend your shipping total will be without information about shipping method...

in your local cart.phtml, use following snippet:
<div class="cart-totals-wrapper">
<div class="cart-totals">
<div class="cart-totals-container">
<!-- <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('totals'); ?> -->
<?php
$_quote = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();
$_cartValue = 0;
$_items = $_quote->getAllItems();
foreach ($_items as $_item) {
$_cartValue += $_item->getRowTotalInclTax();
}
?>
<table id="shopping-cart-totals-table">
<colgroup>
<col>
<col width="1">
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="a-right" colspan="1" style=""><?php echo $this->__('Subtotal'); ?></td>
<td class="a-right" style="">
<span class="price"><?php echo $_quote->getStore()->formatPrice($_cartValue); ?></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p class="message"><?php echo $this->__('Shipping will be calculated at checkout'); ?></p>
</div>
