In the order related templates of the Orders module there is a loop to retreive multiple shipping destinations. Apparently there is a way to have that that I haven’t found yet (is this with registered users’ profile settings or something)?

Now, in the order confirmation template there is the ordered items table inside the destinations loop:

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$order_obj->get_destinations() item='destination'}
	…
	…
	{foreach from=$destination->get_items() item='item'}
		…
	{/foreach}
{/foreach}

Does that mean there is also a way to order various items and set them up to ship to different locations within the same order? How is that done in reality? And is there a way to reliably prevent people from doing such things?

Ideally I would like to show the ordered items first, unrelated to the shipping address(es), and then the billing and shipping addresses.

I believe to have multiple shipping addresses you would need to use a different 'Cart' module, e.g. GiftBaskets. I haven't tried it so can't confirm.

I always just leave the multiple destinations loop there, and output the items with that loop. There is only ever be one destination output so it's never an issue.

Correct.
The GiftBaskets module allows you to create in one order different baskets with different shipping destinations.

Therefore, during the billing stage you can enter/modify the addresses for each destination, and confirm them on the confirmation page.

OK, makes sense. Thank you for your replies.
