I want No PAYPAL for PARCEL POST shipping option.

Hi Everyone,
Was wondering if someone could help me out with a small problem i cant work out.

I want to disable paypal for one shipping type only.
Is there a way to do this simply or will i have to mod some php??

Also some constructive criticism always goes a long way.

The line i'm looking at in the paypal module is

$this->enabled = ((MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);


just a little unsure what to do with it

In that same file, a few lines lower, is a function for update_status(). Add your shipping-module check there by adding the new code shown:

Code:

---

  function update_status() {
    global $order, $db;

    if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ZONE > 0) ) {
      $check_flag = false;
      $check_query = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->billing['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");
      while (!$check_query->EOF) {
        if ($check_query->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        } elseif ($check_query->fields['zone_id'] == $order->billing['zone_id']) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        }
        $check_query->MoveNext();
      }

      // disable for certain shipping module only:
      if ($_SESSION['shipping'] == 'name_of_code_from_shipping_module') $check_flag = false;

      if ($check_flag == false) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }
  }

For name_of_code_from_shipping_module check the $this->code = 'blahblah' line near the top of the shipping module file that represents the shipping module you're wanting to restrict for.
Granted, if your shipping module generates various different $_SESSION['shipping'] values depending on which offered service the customer selects, you may have to alter the logic in that "if" statement to accomodate.

Thanks for the reply DrByte.

I am slightly understanding these functions, and this is the following code i have.

PHP Code:

---

    function update_status() {
    global $order, $db;

    if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ZONE > 0) ) {
      $check_flag = false;
      $check_query = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->billing['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");
      while (!$check_query->EOF) {
        if ($check_query->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        } elseif ($check_query->fields['zone_id'] == $order->billing['zone_id']) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        }
        $check_query->MoveNext();
      }

      // disable for certain shipping module only:
      if ($_SESSION['shipping'] == 'auspost') $check_flag = false;

      if ($check_flag == false) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }

But for some reason, the paypal module is still showing up after i click continue with "auspost" selected.
