Change “Shipping & Handling” text in checkout review in magento

Change “Shipping & Handling” text in checkout review

Ok I got it myself, you need to edit or overwrite with a custom extension the following file:

"app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Shipping.php"

around line 184 (Magento 1.7.0.2) you'll find the method

"fetch(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address $address)" here you'll find

"Mage::helper('sales')->__('Shipping & Handling');".

HOW TO CHANGE THE MAGENTO ‘SHIPPING & HANDLING’ OUTPUT

Today I needed to change the output of the Shipping & Handling ($description) text that gets output in the cart and checkout tables. Now it would have been very easy to simply change the text inapp/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Shipping.php:

public function fetch(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address $address) {

$amount = $address->getShippingAmount();

if ($amount != 0 || $address->getShippingDescription()) {

$title = Mage::helper('sales')->__('Shipping & Handling');

if ($address->getShippingDescription()) {

$title .= ' (' . $address->getShippingDescription() . ')';

}

$address->addTotal(array(

'code' => $this->getCode(),

'title' => $title,

'value' => $address->getShippingAmount()

));

} return $this;

}
