Check Weight AND Zone to Use This Module

[Zippkits]

We need to tweak our USPS shipping module.
It is currently set to only show when the weight is >=2 (greater than or equal to 2 pounds).
We need it to only do this only for a specific zone.

So...

If the weight is <2 pounds AND the zone is US48, don't show this.
In all other cases, show this module.

We have fixed shipping for orders under 2 pounds in the US 48 states only, so if someone orders from Hawaii, or any other part of the world, they would see the regular USPS rate only.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

To make it easier...

How about we say "don't show this module if the weight is less than 2 for zones 99 and 100 only."

If weight <2 and geo_zone =99 or 100, false. Else true.

I am really stretching my available brain power (my wife says that I'm one step above blithering...)

Try this for me ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/usps.php

and add the code in red above the code in black ...

echo 'Country: ' . $order->delivery['country_id'] . ' State: ' . $order->delivery['zone_id'] . '<br>';
    // disable only when entire cart is free shipping

Now add something to the cart and go to the Shipping Estimator and set the Country to United States ...

set the state to Alaska ... and click Update what does it say?

Now set to Hawaii ... and click Update what does it say?

It works normally.
I have zone 99 (US 48) set to show the two fixed options (under 2 pounds).
Since AK and HI are not in 99, only USPS shows. This is correct.
However, if you select a state in zone 99, it shows the fixed rates and USPS. I don't want USPS to show when the weight is <2 in zone 99...

If you were to add the Zone for the US 48 to the USPS shipping module ... then customize the code so that is only checked when the weight is < 2, would that work for you?

Example:

global $cart;
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG && $_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() < 2) {
    if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_ZONE > 0) ) {
      $check_flag = false;
      $check = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->delivery['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");
      while (!$check->EOF) {
        if ($check->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        } elseif ($check->fields['zone_id'] == $order->delivery['zone_id']) {
          $check_flag = true;
          break;
        }
        $check->MoveNext();
      }

      if ($check_flag == false) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }
}

That sounds like it would work.
I list the USPS shipping zone as 99 (my US 48 definition).
Then add your code to the USPS module.
I just don't see where in the code to specifty 99...

You don't ...

The idea is to *only* check that the 48 states is selected when the weight is < 2 ... otherwise, not to test the Zone setting on the module ...

This would then let everything run USPS and then test if < 2 ...

Does that work for you? Or is that not limiting things enough?

[Zippkits]

That would work fine.
I cant get it to work though.
When I put a zone in the USPS module, the code changes above don't seem to have any effect.

Joe

Did you add the Zone for the 48 States?

That Zone restriction should only work when the weight is < 2 ...

[Zippkits]

Yes. Added US 48 zone.

Here is what happens:
<2 in US still shows USPS (should not)
<2 non US shows no shipping methods (should show USPS)
>2 US works fine
>2 non US works fine

Is it possible that the code change is backwards?
In the process above, both (less than 2) should be switched.
