Add Additional Shipping Cost to Only One Item

[gocujo]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to make a special case for the shipping cost for one item. All of the other items' rate are at $6.95, I just need this larger item to have a $9.95 shipping and that is it.

I have looked in the shipping modules directory and the item.php to see where i can add the case but i don't see any where the rate is calculated.

Has anyone encounter this dilemma before? Are there any specific files that you can point me to where like the shipping_estimator.php to add this case or an alternate method.

Thanks.

There is a function in the shopping_cart class where you can look up how many of a product are in the cart ...

I have to dig up its exact name but it is down near the end of the class ...

Look for the section on:

  /**
   * Method to calculate the number of items in a cart based on an abitrary property
   *
   * $check_what is the fieldname example: 'products_is_free'
   * $check_value is the value being tested for - default is 1
   * Syntax: $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('product_is_free','1');
   *
   * @param string product field to check
   * @param mixed value to check for
   * @return integer number of items matching restraint
   */
  function in_cart_check($check_what, $check_value='1') {
