Free Shipping Options not working correctly

[enzo-ita]

Hi,
I aa following the instructions ad finally had the customer be able to pick a faster shipping method evene if the freeoptions (minimum order) are met to grant free shipping. I have ot_shipping turned false (but installed)
The problem I have is that when a product is flagged "always free shipping" and it is alone in the shopping cart, only free shipping appears and the customer can not pick a different shipping method.
On which file should I work in order to allow the customer to pick a different shipping method when a always free shipping product is in the shopping cart?
thanks

What shipping methods do you have installed and which do you want to see when you have a Product marked as Always Free Shipping in the cart?

By default, Products marked as Always Free Shipping only run the FREE SHIPPING freeshipper shipping module, unless the code is customized ...

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I have freeoptions and freeshipper installed, plus I have ot_freeshipping installed but set to false.
When a always free shipping product is in the cart, I want to see the freeoptions.
In other words I want to see ALWAYS the freeoptions with the freeshipping option when the cart value is over a set value.
I hope it is clear enough.
Ciao

What is the difference between the Free Shipping Options freeoptions and the FREESHIPPING freeshipping choices ... aren't they both offering Free Shipping?

[enzo-ita]

Ok I knew it was not clear.
The first image shows freeoptions working when cart value is lower then set. In this case the customer can choose the shipping method he wants and pay for.
The second image shows freeoptions working when cart value is higher then set. You can see that an added line appears with shipping cost at 0. I this case the customer can still choose to pay for a different shipping method.
The third is when freeshipper kicks in because the product is always free shipping. As you can see there are no choices, the customer can not choose a different shipping method.

What I want is that in any case only the first or the second image appears depending only on the settings of the freeoptions module. In other words I want the customer to be able to change the shipping method even if the product is always freeshipping.
Thanks again

You would need to customize your Shipping Modules so that they do not check if the cart is Always Free Shipping ...

For example, on the Flat Rate flat shipping module in:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

you would see 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);
      }

To have that run when Always Free Shipping is the only thing in the cart, you need to comment out the test:

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

Once you have your shipping module running at the same time, you need to determine what the shipping is based on to see if there needs to be further adjustment to the code ...

Perfect!!!!!! Just Perfect.
I have hacked all the shipping modules I use and now it works exactly like I want. THANK THANK THANK.
I could not imagine that all the methods were allowed and needed to be disallowed in certain cases.

One last question,
How do I set the default shipping method when free shipment is listed? The radio button does not come out selected at free shipping option.
(the picture in the post before, were the free shipping is selected is not the way it comes out, I selected it before capturing)

Again lots of thanks to you Linda.
