Shipping Problem

[Ajeh]

Then you could use the code:

// bof: skip certain categories and disable they are in the cart for master_categories_id 7, 10 and 14
      if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
        global $cart;
        $chk_skip_categories = 0;
        $chk_skip_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','7');
        $chk_skip_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','10');
        $chk_skip_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','14');
        if ($chk_skip_categories > 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: skip certain categories and disable they are in the cart for master_categories_id 7, 10 and 14

So would that be intelligent enough to realise that if a customer comes along and purchases a product that is Non flammable (first class) and then another item that is flammable (royal mail track and trace) to charge the flammable postage rate which would be royal mail track and trace and calculate the price on weight according to the flammable postage rate.

[Ajeh]

No that would be intelligent enough to know that flammable products are in the cart, if you are testing the master_categories_id of the flammable products ...

Then, you need to decided that based on the results of are there any flammable products in the cart, should the shipping module be active or inactive by the setting of the $this->enabled ...

So if you add that code to the shipping module that should NOT run when flammable products are in the cart, then it will turn off that shipping module if a flammable product is added to the cart so it will not show as a shipping choice ... now, that would leave the other shipping module active as the only choice ...

[Nick1973]

right so based on your code, then I don't have to do anything other than assign the categories to the code? right?

[Ajeh]

Correct ... and if you need more categories to be checked then you can just add more lines of:

        $chk_skip_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','7');

where you set the 7 to the flammable categories_id ... which is the master_categories_id ... to be checked if Products from it are in the cart ...

[Nick1973]

ok I think that could be a solution then. will do some testing :-)

Thanks for your time and patience Linda.

[Nick1973]

Just one more thing Linda, and sorry for being dim. What file would I put this code in?

[Ajeh]

You have two shipping modules ... one of them you do not want when there are flammable products ... which shipping module is that?

[Nick1973]

Just thought I'd add that I'm using table rates and there's two separate files set up called table1.php (first class) and table2.php (royal mail track and trace)

Would I add the code into both of these files?

[Ajeh]

Do you want them BOTH to not work?

Or are you trying to turn off 1 of these two files?

Or, are you trying to turn ON a 3 shipping module and turn OFF these two shipping modules?
