I want to write a script that will automatically assign the shipping method from the drop down list on the 'New Shipment' pop up page in the admin area and to do this I need to call for the shipping method (name) on that page. Have tried numerous combinations attempting to capture this but to no avail.
Some help on what will capture this would be greatly appreciated e.g. {$shipping_method}
Please clarify your request in more details. Do you want to receive order shipping name on the 'New Shipment' pop up page?
Yes that's correct the shipping name.
Since order can have several shipping methods, please use the following code:
{foreach from=$order_info.shipping key="shipping_id" item="shipping"}
{$shipping.shipping}
{/foreach}
New shipment template:
design/backend/templates/views/shipments/components/new_shipment.tpl
Perfect thanks very much for the help.
You are welcome!
One other question is there a way to call for the orders shipping selection value from the drop down list e.g. "2"

Unfortunately your question is not quite clear. Please give us more details
On the new shipment page the drop down list assigns a number in the hidden value field associated with the shipping type for the order e.g.
Regular Post
If I wanted to call for the value associated with the shipping option that was selected for the order is that possible?
Yes, check it by the key parameter in the code from post #4. E.g.
{if $shipping_id == 6}selected="selected"{/if}
Perfect thank you
