Different Shipping Options for Different Customer Types

[gokeypa]

wow, Ok that was easy once you showed me the error.

So now what I have is two types of wholesalers, and one type of online customers. I only want one of the types of wholesalers to see the free option. Is there a way for type (X) to only see the free option.

If the wholesalers are split into two groups then use that Group ID ... if they are not, how can you distinguish between the two groups?

The wholesalers are split into two separate groups. Group (1) and group (2) I changed the code so group 2 would get free shipping, then my test customer in group (2) could see and get the free shipping. I then logged in as a different customer NOT in group 2 and I still saw the free shipping.
Should do something like this so that only group (2) can get and see free shipping.

if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 1) or if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] == 0) {
$this->enabled = false;{

If you only want Group 2, where their ID is 2, to be able to see Free Shipping, what happens if you use:

if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 2) {
  $this->enabled = false;
}

if I set the code to that then everyone can see the free shipping whether they are in group 2 or not.

Ok, I did a little more checking and it seams that my browser was keeping the last customers settings that was logged in. So when I cleared my cache it looks like it is working.

Above the IF can you add the line in RED:

echo 'CUSTOMER GROUP IS: ' . $chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] . '<br>';
if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 2) {
  $this->enabled = false;
}

and see what displays when you run shipping in either the shipping estimator or checkout_shipping ...

NOTE: things might look a little goofy with this echo ...

Good deal then you do not need the test ... thanks for the update!

For example, let's say the Discount Group ID is 2 ... you can customize the code for:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

with the code in RED:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: Only for Discount Group 2
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        $chk_discount_group_sql = "SELECT customers_group_pricing FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " WHERE customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";
        $chk_discount_group = $db->Execute($chk_discount_group_sql);
        if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 2) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: Only for Discount Group 2

      if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE > 0) ) {

Now only those in Discount Group ID 2 can use this shipping module ...

I tried to put your code into the zones module but then I get an blank screen:
Is it in anyway possible to use thies code also in the table and zones module



// disable only when entire cart is free shipping
if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
$this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
}

// bof: Only for Discount Group 1
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
$chk_discount_group_sql = "SELECT customers_group_pricing FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " WHERE customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";
$chk_discount_group = $db->Execute($chk_discount_group_sql);
if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 1) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
// eof: Only for Discount Group 1

// CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED
$this->num_zones = 3;

[Ajeh]

That code should be able to work in either one ...

What debug logs do you see in either /cache or /logs depending on your version of Zen Cart?
