Different shipping methods for different categories

[PinkLeopard]

I would like to have master cat 62 & 76 set to flat rate of $3.00 and the rest set to a flat rate of $8.00.

I have cloned the flat rate BUT I am lost on how to implement it into my zen cart.

Right now I just have a flat rate of $8.00.

Please help

You can customize the Flat Rate shipping module that should not work for categories_id 62 and 76 with:

    // bof: disable for these master_categories_id
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      // check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','62');
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
      if ($chk_cat > 0) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }
    // eof: disable for these master_categories_id

Then for the one that should run for categories_id 62 and 76 with:

    // bof: disable for these master_categories_id
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      // check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','62');
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
      if ($chk_cat < 1) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }
    // eof: disable for these master_categories_id

What happens when you have Products from Categories 62, 76 and 48?

Hi, Ms. A and thanks for the reply.

Here is what I am trying to do and this is what I have gathered here from searching on the forum.

My objective is to have two different flat rates.

One flat rate being $8.00 and the other flat rate being $3.00.

Master Cat 62 & 76 I would like to be $3.00. All others $8.00.

Here is what I have done so far.

I cloned flat.php and added these files to the below referenced directories. Every time I tried to add some code my whole shipping module is admin disappears.

/includes/modules/shipping/flat3.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat3.php

Then I tried adding code to flat.php but not sure which file directory? Or both?

/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php

I need to tell flat.php not include Mast Cat 62 & 76. And I need to tell flat3.php only to include Mast Cat 62 & 76.


I am not sure which code to add to flat.php and which code to add to flat3.php.

And lastly...I have not tried to resolved "what if" they buy from both categories...

I need a little help from Ms. A if possible on coding.

Thank you for your time.

If you read my post ...

The first set of code is to NOT show if Products from 62 or 76 are in the cart ...

The second set of code is to NOT show if Products from 62 or 76 are NOT in the cart ...

So this means that the first piece of code would show that shipping module on a cart that has Products from 62 or 76 -- or -- either of those two categories and any other category at the same time ...

The code always go into the files in the code directory for:
/includes/modules/shipping

The language defines go in the:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

You add the code right after the existing code for:

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

Hi thanks so much for your help. I have done what you said.

Both flat rates are showing up in the cart.

I will attached both files.

Can you take a moment to let me know what I have done wrong.

Thanks again for your help

You stuck the new code in the bottom of the files where it does nothing ...

Place it under the code:

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

and in the clone code under the code:

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

[PinkLeopard]

You are amazing and after I went through learning how to do this...it was not that painful. I just did not know where to add the code. And I tried a zillion times over.

Do you mind if I add it to the free downloads?

And trust me...I will donate. I feel confident I will get some sales now because I think my shipping was too high.

Thanks again.

[Ajeh]

I don't know that it is worth being an add on as there are so many different methods and a zillion are already posted on the Free Forums ...

Glad you have this working now ...
