Lead Time Varying Information on checkout_shipping.php

support thread:

I created this contribution because I couldn't find anything similar.
I needed to provide a simple information sentence in the checkout_shipping.php page that
notified the customer of the lead time. This was to be updated when necessary by the store
owner who did not want to run a SQL query or change code on the php files, even the languages
files.
The contribution creates a new page in the Configuration menu called LEAD TIME (see screenshot).
The value can be editted in a textarea the same as the stores address details. You can write letters or numbers in here.
This creates a CONSTANT called LEAD_TIME which can be called in a languages file anywhere you need.
I've added this in a new infoBox at the top of the shipping page.

Since the store owner would be updating this himself occasionally I have changed the adminindex.php
so that it is a link from there. Under the Configuration menu I have replaced Cache with Lead Time.

Simply change the text you use and this contribution can be used to provide any information you like.

This is running fine with Separate Pricing per Customers, Shipdate and Ultimate SEO URL plus a whole pile of smaller modifications installed.
