Where do I start can you tell me which files I would have to edit.
I will try to apply my ActionScript coding and see how far I get. If you have any samples or things I sould know please let me know.
Thank you for the tip about the "GIFT" I don't have any but I will make sure a stay away from that as a model number.
Thank you;
Raymond
I am not quite sure what you are asking for ...
To go through and tell you how to do all the coding to make all of the shipping work right I would have to write it all and right now, I am not sure what your next step is once you start using the Virtual Products for one of your groups of products ...
The Virtual Products sounds like, from what you have tested, would work for those products that must be picked up at the shop ...
You have all of your other products going via USPS ... with the Product Weight (products_weight) being quoted on the shipping ...
Of those products, some can be picked up ... so install the Store Pickup storepickup shipping module ... this will manage the Products where the customer wants to come to the shop to pickup the order even if you could of shipped them and it will allow for USPS to be available should they want things shipping ...
Now you have the problem of what to do on the mixed cart ...
When people add products that must be shipped and products that must be picked up ... :blink:
What do you want to happen when a customer tries to build an order with both product types?
There are a few ideas that come to mind but you have to say what it is that you want to happen on the mixed cart circumstance and what solution would work best for your customers and for your shop ... note: that is not necessarily the same thing ... :cool:
I think the simple way would be to use the virtual download. I am not sure where to find the code that is making the "Free Shipping - Download" appear.
I would then try some basic "if Then" knowhow to make the product that is using the virtual download to display "In Store Pickup only" Since we want to open tomorrow and I don't believe we would get many orders for the Favors at first and I will remove the "In Store Pickup" module for now. I believe the virtual download issue is an easier fix, I can then use this week to work on the Favors section which require shipping only.
But to get started I don't know which files to edit so I can remove the "Free Shipping" and which file I should use to have the "In Store Pickup Only" display next to the the product in the cart.
Thank you;

Do a search on these two in the Developers Tool Kit to see where they are defined and how they are used:
CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_FREE_TEXT
CART_SHIPPING_METHOD_ALL_DOWNLOADS
Thank you! I was able to remove "Free Shipping" and also looking at the Shipping table I was able to work the shipping numbers. It still possible that with the drop-shipped items will not charge enought and I would get stuck with extra shipping costs. But for the short term this will work.
If I wanted to play around with getting the "In Store Pickup" text to appear next to the item in the shopping cart and checkout. Do you know which files I would have to edit? Or a tag (Like you sent the last time) to search.
Thank you

I'd start with the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and enter the page I see in the URL and see where it takes me ...
In this case, in the bottom input box, enter:
shopping_cart
and this will pull all references to the shopping_cart for templates, code etc. that will lead you to helping map out the flow of what files are referenced to see where you can make changes like this ...
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. sometimes all I need is a push in the right direction in order to break the code... I mean to change the code.:eek:
Thank you for your help.

Good luck with your coding experience ... and look out for that one little bitty ... :lamo:
Hi, anyone found the solution for in store pickup only products??? Thanks.
If you want In Store Pick Up Only products, then you will have to do some custom coding ...
1 you need a flag or a new field in the products table to mark the Products as
products_is_storepickup_only
2 add a way to add/edit this flag or new field in the Admin for the Product
3 a way to test for this product in the cart
4 filter your other shipping module(s) to not show when 1 or more of these Products are in the cart ...
Conside the situation where you have a Mixed Order of Products that are for Store Pick Up ONLY and regular Products ... does this mean the whole order now has to be picked up at the store?
If you want to split the order, you will have to decide how to manage this ... as there isn't anything built in for multiple shipping methods in the same order ...
Or, you can flag the Product as Store Pick Up Only and have warnings and messages everywhere so that these Products warn the customer that they must pick them up, but that they could place a Mixed Order that would use the regular shipping module(s) and these Products would have to be Picked Up at the store and something that makes the customer "agree" to this, before the order can be completed ...
