How I take the shipping method output in totals frame in 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.

If someone knows I would stay very gratified

Thanks by now

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...
