HI I've been made to feel pretty stupid in the Magento forum with comments like what planet are you from...and this has been answered a thousand times....but quite frankly the magento forum is now so big that it takes hours to narrow down your problem and as for a support forum 90% is moronic riduculing of new users and mindless exchanges of pleasentries with no actual support!

 

I need help... I have a store that requires express checkout as well as the standard magento checkout... however using the express checkout bypasses the add shipping option in the cart which means a user can freely navigate to paypal without adding a shipping value to their order. Has anyone got any experience with Magento that they would gladly share without questioning my orgins of birth!

 

Thanks Martin

...this is why I love Magento - if there's a problem with core, you don't have to hack it with changes that would be overwritten by an update, and you can override anything.

 

Your problem is with Mage_Paypal_Model_Express_Checkout - you need to override it safely so your changes are not overwritten by a core update.

 

Once you've got it running from app/code/local instead of app/code/core, you can then edit your version like so:

 

public function returnFromPaypal($token)
{
       // Copy the rest of the function as it stands, just add these two lines at the end:

       $this->_quote->getShippingAddress()->setCollectShippingRates(true);
       $this->_quote->collectTotals()->save();
}
