I've looked the past few days, I don't see exactly what I'm looking for. I want to offer flat rate shipping, per item, for just 1 category.
Example: All Operation Homebrew beer kits ship for just 5.99 each!! Choose 1 kit, it ships for 5.99; choose 2 kits, they ship for 11.98...
I'm certain all I have to do is add a few lines of code to the per item shipping module...just need a little help on that code. Again, this would apply to all items under a category.
Thanks!!
Andrew
What Shipping Module(s) are you using for all other Products that are not in this 1 Category?
Hello Ajeh,
I've enjoyed reading your helpful responses to others. Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm using the following shipping modules:
UPS
USPS
Freeshipper
Storepickup
Andrew
How is the freeshipper being used? Is this for Products that are marked as Always Free Shipping or is this for Products with 0 weight?
Just for our Gift Cards - so products marked as "Always Free Shipping".
Are your Gift Cards actually the Gift Certificates? That once purchased, a customer can then send all or part of their GV Balance to another person?
These are setup as Products with the Model starting with:
GIFT
and anything after that can be used ...
If so, these are do not need to be marked as Always Free Shipping, just set them up as a Virtual Product and have the Module start with, in caps:
GIFT
I'd like to clarify this and have them working right before we go on to make changes for these Products that have a special shipping rate ...
No, these gift cards are plastic cards we program in the store with our card reader, have our logo on them and stuff. I haven't really given much thought to doing the gift card option that's built into the zen cart....
Do any of your other Products use the Always Free Shipping?
Do you have any other Product that uses a 0 weight?
No and No.
Check that your setting in Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... is set to 0:
What is the master_categories_id for the Products that you need to have the Per Item charge on?Quote:
Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status
If there is no weight to the order, does the order have Free Shipping?
0= no
1= yes
Confirmed, it is set to 0 (no).
master_categories_id: 316
These are the changes that you need for your shipping files just add the code in RED ...

}
// eof: seperate item cost 1 category
//echo 'setting insurance: ' . $usps_insurance_charge . '<br>';
On all three of these, set the master_categories_id to your value, as I used 65:Code:$item_total_count = $total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_items();
// bof: seperate item cost 1 category
$chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','65');
$extra_shipping_charge = $chk_cart * 5.99;
echo '$total_count: ' . $total_count . ' $chk_cart: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';
if ($extra_shipping_charge == 0 || $chk_cart != $total_count) {
// skip shipping
} else {
$this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE,
'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY,
'cost' => $extra_shipping_charge)));
}
// eof: seperate item cost 1 category
if ($this->tax_class > 0) {
On the Modules ... Shipping ... set the Shipping Cost to 5.99 ...Code:$chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','65');
This should make the cart add for UPS and USPS a $5.99 charge per item in the shipping costs for any Products in the cart for your 1 category ...
When Products from the 1 category are the only thing in the cart, then UPS and USPS will not show and only the Item Rate will show ...
Finally, be sure to test when a Gift Card is the only Product in the cart or when a Gift Card is added with other Products to ensure all is still working ...
thank you. I will test and let you know!
Andrew
i'm afraid it didn't work.
I noticed when trying to update the USPS file, I didn't have the latest module. I upgraded it, then made the correct changes, but now I have only 3 shipping modules showing in my admin: flat rate, free shipping options, and free shipping.
also getting this error across the top of my admin page: Warning Shipping Configuration errors!
Warning: USPS shipping module is either missing the username, or it is set to TEST rather than PRODUCTION and will not work.
If you cannot retrieve USPS Shipping Quotes, contact USPS to activate your Web Tools account on their production server. 1-800-344-7779 or icustomercare@usps.com
Sounds like you have errors in the file(s) ...
If you look in the directory /logs (this is /cache on older versions of Zen Cart) do you see any debug logs? If so, could you post the content on your next post please?
duh, thanks for reminding me... it's easy to get frustrated when your website quits working like it's supposed to...
I messed up the item.php file. I left the extra ( in part of the code. as soon as I took it out, fixed.
i'll let you know how it goes from here...
seems to be working, however, the following things are happening:
in the shopping cart, the following is displayed just above the "Estimate Shipping": $total_count: 1 $chk_cart: 1
Also, when checking out (shipping method screen) on just the 1 category, USPS doesn't show, but UPS does. Not the whole thing, just the UPS box with nothing in it:
UPS
Store Pickup
Per Item
Gift card: I added a gift card to the order with 1 item from the 5.99 category, and it jacked the shipping cost up instead of leaving it at 5.99. by itself, gift card ships free.
I tested some very lightweight items, and maybe I didn't notice it before...example: I have weight set for a pack of yeast to .01 lbs and the quote for USPS shipping is 8.10 just for that 1 item.
A slightly more pressing issue: when I click over to the "choose your payment method", screen goes blank and I get the "$total_count: 3 $chk_cart: 3" message at the top...
Those are 3 of the kits.
When I add a non-kit item, it doesn't do it...meaning it works fine. I can select my payment method.
Have you an URL to your shop that we could perhaps peek at?
Also, find this line of code and comment it out:
using:Code:echo '$total_count: ' . $total_count . ' $chk_cart: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';
Code:// echo '$total_count: ' . $total_count . ' $chk_cart: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';
of course!

This seems to have fixed it! I will continue testing and report back.Quote:

so customer pays 5.99 for shipping per kit, which wouldn't count additional items should they decide to purchase at the same time.
Cool! so I can buy 1 of these:
/store/beer/ingredients/grains/base-grains/2-row-brewers
and 3 of these:
/store/beer/beer-recipe-kits/operation-homebrew-beer-kits/b52-barleywine
for the same shipping?! Neato!! :lookaroun
hmmmm....not so much? so it won't work that way?
You tell me ... this is your store ... what shipping costs are you wanting to charge?
I know, I know... I am going to compare a couple of things and let you know. Is it possible to have a gift card ship for free and only pay 5.99 per kit? Right now it won't do that.
Thanks again!
You check things out and I will fool around on your site as I am not seeing why this would not work as first defined ...
If I add this to the cart:
/store/fun-stuff/gift-cards/gift-card
as the only Product I get the choices of:
what isn't working on that?Quote:
FREE SHIPPING! (No Delivery Charge) $0.00 Store Pickup (Walk In) $0.00
I have some trouble navigating your site and seeing the categories_id due to your url rewrites ...
Are your sure all Products that are Kits have the master_categories_id of 316?
And you appear to have installed Flat Rate, but before you said you wanted to use Item Rate as the charge for Products in the categories_id 316 ...
Flat Rate flat is a static charge regardless of the number of items in the cart and Item Rate item is to charge an specific charge per item in the cart ... which are you really meaning?
You had said at the start, you wanted:
Quote:
Example: All Operation Homebrew beer kits ship for just 5.99 each!! Choose 1 kit, it ships for 5.99; choose 2 kits, they ship for 11.98...
On your Products in categories_id 316, do you have Product weight set to 0 on all of those?
Yes, that works. however, if I add a 5.99 kit to the cart, shipping should only be 5.99 since the gift card is free. instead, UPS and USPS show up during checkout and the shipping cost is 15.85.
Also, if I order a /store/beer/beer-ingredient-kits/1-light-lager/lawnmower-lager by itself, shipping is 9.74. When I add a kit from the 5.99 group, shipping should be (9.74+5.99) 15.73. instead, it shows 21.06.
I will double check and make sure flat rate is off (uninstalled).Quote:

If any Attributes, do any of the Attributes have weight?

We are getting closer!
What is the weight on the Gift Cart?
It is a beer kit, but not one of the Operation Homebrew Beer kits that qualify for per item shipping. Only these kits would qualify for the per item shipping: http://www.operationhomebrew.com/sto...brew-beer-kitsQuote:

Aha! I think I figured it out ...
You have Gift Cards setup totally different from the norm as your Gift Cards are not treated like normal Zen Cart Gift Certificates nor configured in the same manner ...
So, all of these changes to the Item Rate, UPS and USPS shipping have to take into account the Gift Certificate as a different kind of Product, so to speak ...
Give me a few to give this some thought ... and while I am going out to dinner, I just got a call changing the time for everything, so hopefully I can get this done in the next few minutes to the next hour or so ... :lookaroun

Linda,
I'm back. I wasn't sure if I should start a new post or continue this one. I've done quite a bit of searching in the forums for what I want to accomplish, and I've found a lot of promising info...just not sure how to apply it. Here's the summary:
I want to offer a flat rate shipping option, regardless of how much a customer spends, but I will need to exclude several products (I've already gathered the product IDs).
- I'm still Using USPS, UPS, Free Shipping (The Gift Card product thing, as well as some new items), Store Pickup, and soon Fed Ex
- I'm looking to simplify this by removing the $5.99 per item beer kit thing, they will just fall under the flat rate fee.
I'm assuming that it's as easy as making modifications to the flat rate module to "exclude" the items I need excluded. The Flat Rate option should not be available if someone buys an "excluded" item.
And all the other shipping modules will continue to show, just incase someone wants an expedited or special shipping option.
This is easy, eh?
Thanks,
Andrew
Customer buys 1 excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 2 excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 3 excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 1 anything *except* excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 2 anything *except* excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 3 anything *except* excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 1 exclude item and 1 NOT excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 1 exclude item and 2 NOT excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 2 exclude item and 1 NOT excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 2 exclude item and 2 NOT excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 1 exclude item and 3 NOT excluded item what is shipping?
Customer buys 3 exclude item and 2 NOT excluded item what is shipping?

Just change the products_id 12, 13, 15 to the products_id values that you need and you can add extra products_id values ...

Correct. I would rather block 30 items than allow over 1000...know what I mean? So I'm just blocking the big, bulky, heavy items from flat rate shipping. They can still ship, just using the other modules (USPS, UPS, and in store pickup).
To make this have the checked products_id NOT allow Flat and only allow USPS use the code in RED:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

} else {

$usps_shipping_quotes = '';
I updated the Flat Rate and USPS and lost the shipping module in the admin, and those shipping options don't show at all on the site during checkout. It seems to be the Flat Rate file that makes the admin shipping module crash. When I undid the USPS, no change. Undid the Flat Rate, back to normal.Quote:

Sounds like a typo on the new code ... I am using this:
Not sure why the attachment has jibberish, however, I think I found my issue. testing now...
My coding error in the Flat Rate file was due to placing the edits too high in the file. I moved it to just behind the class methods and it worked. It just didn't look right when I placed it behind the class constructor. It seems to be working. I will continue testing and report back with any issues.
Donation on the way.
Thanks!

Thanks for the update that this appears to be working for you now and the explination on the problem you had ... Let us know if you run into any issues ...
Thanks also for the donation to the Zen Cart Team, that is always of great help to us! :cool:
1 last clarification: some of those product IDs that I'm using are actually category IDs. Can I just do this:Quote:

You would need the master_categories_id for the Category with the products:
Code:$chk_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','96');
Thanks!!
Thanks!! Summary:
I enabled flat rate shipping, excluded some items/categories (I chose based on weight, size, ect), so if those excluded items are added to the cart, the flat rate shipping option is not available. This works as expected (thanks Linda!!!).
I decided to leave the USPS and UPS modules alone, since I still want them to show as available shipping options.
I ran into the issue of my flat rate charge being higher than USPS Priority on some items, so I adjusted the USPS rate by adding a few bucks for "handling" on priority only. After all, the idea behind flat rate shipping is to encourage customers to buy more stuff.
Thanks again for your help!
Andrew
You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this is working for you with both products_id and master_categories_id ... :smile:
Hi, me again.
I want to turn on Freeoptions for orders that total $100 or more. The issue is that I need to exclude certain items just like I did for the Flat Rate shipping module. I tried modifying the freeoptions file under the /includes/modules/shipping, but it was a fail.
Please help.
Thanks!
Andrew

if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
global $cart;
$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','01');

if ($chk_cat > 0) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
