Giving USPS First-Class only for products in a certain category

[zaaep005]

Hi,

I have one category that lists all the golf shoes we carry and would like to give the option to ship by the USPS First Class Domestic/International. All other products will be shipped by either the Priority or Priority Express, including when customers buy a pair/pairs of golf shoes along with any other product from other categories. Could this be done?

I run Zen Cart 1.3.9h in both English & Japanese with PHP 5.2.17 & MySQL 5.0.95. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you,

What is the master_categories_id for the 1 Category that you want to allow First Class?

Hi Ajeh,

Hope all is well. The master cat. id is 25.

Thank you in advance for your continued support.

and add the code in RED:

// bof: check Product Qty in categories_id 25
$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cats = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','25');
// eof: check Product Qty in categories_id 25

Ajeh,

Thank you for your quick response. I forgot to mention that there are 7 sub-categories (id 29 thru 35) under that category 25, and each sub-category has 3 to 7 products. Also, I meant to give the First-Class shipping in addition to Priority & Priority Express for the golf shoes.

Sorry for the confusion.

// bof: check Product Qty in categories_id 29 - 35
$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','29');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','30');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','31');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','32');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','33');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','34');
$chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','35');
// eof: check Product Qty in categories_id 29 -35

      for ($i=0; $i<$PackageSize; $i++) {

Try changing this part of the code ...

Wow, you're amazing. Thank you so much for your assistance on this. I will make a donation for cups of coffee now!

[Ajeh]

Thanks for the update that this worked for you ... and especially a thanks for the coffee and donuts ... they are always a help to the Zen Cart Team!

Ajeh,

I started a new thread last night, but can allowing the USPS Priority Flat Rate Small Box to one product be added to the above codes?

Thank you,

What happens on a mixed cart of Products?
