Help with different shipping rates for first and additional items???

[Ajeh]

The reason I suggested throw that code in with the table.php is that when you check shipping, it would echo the results ...

What that is doing is counting how many products are in those categories based on the master_categories_id ...

Go look at your products and get the master_categories_id for a Card, Hot Wheel and Shoes Product ...

Then we can set this up so you can see how this works ...

Once we get the pattern, I think you will be able to charge the way you want to on shipping ... it just takes a bit to get the hang of it ...

I am pretty sure that the ID's you need are:

Baseball Cards 9
Hot Wheels 10
Shoes 11

Unless there is a number I am missing, these are what you need.

Let's try to test this ...

What will happen is when you look at Shipping Estimator or the checkout_shipping ... you will see it echo out the counts or Products in these categories_id where the Products use the matching master_categories_id ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

and change the function quote with this new code:

  /**
   * Enter description here...
   *
   * @param unknown_type $method
   * @return unknown
   */
  function quote($method = '') {
    global $order, $shipping_weight, $shipping_num_boxes, $total_count;

    // shipping adjustment
    switch (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE) {
      case ('price'):
        $order_total = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices() ;
        break;
      case ('weight'):
        $order_total = $shipping_weight;
        break;
      case ('item'):
        $order_total = $total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_items();
        break;
    }

    $order_total_amount = $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices() ;

    $table_cost = split("[:,]" , MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_COST);
    $size = sizeof($table_cost);
    for ($i=0, $n=$size; $i<$n; $i+=2) {
      if (round($order_total,9) <= $table_cost[$i]) {
        if (strstr($table_cost[$i+1], '%')) {
          $shipping = ($table_cost[$i+1]/100) * $order_total_amount;
        } else {
          $shipping = $table_cost[$i+1];
        }
        break;
      }
    }

    if (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE == 'weight') {
      $shipping = $shipping * $shipping_num_boxes;
      // show boxes if weight
      switch (SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT_DISPLAY) {
        case (0):
        $show_box_weight = '';
        break;
        case (1):
        $show_box_weight = ' (' . $shipping_num_boxes . ' ' . TEXT_SHIPPING_BOXES . ')';
        break;
        case (2):
        $show_box_weight = ' (' . number_format($shipping_weight * $shipping_num_boxes,2) . TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT . ')';
        break;
        default:
        $show_box_weight = ' (' . $shipping_num_boxes . ' x ' . number_format($shipping_weight,2) . TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT . ')';
        break;
      }
    }


global $cart;
  $cnt_cards = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','9');
  $card_ship = ceil($cnt_cards/4) * .17;
  $card_ship = $card_ship+ 1.05;

  $cnt_hotwheels = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','10');
  $hotwheels_ship = ceil($cnt_hotwheels/4) * .51;
  $hotwheels_ship = $hotwheels_ship+ 1.56;

  $cnt_shoes = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','11');
  $shoes_ship = ceil($cnt_shoes/4) * 1.46;
  $shoes_ship = $shoes_ship+ 11.56;
  echo '<br><br>CARDS: ' . $cnt_cards . ' = ' . $card_ship . '<br>';
  echo '<br><br>HOTWHEELS: ' . $cnt_hotwheels . ' = ' . $hotwheels_ship . '<br>';
  echo '<br><br>SHOES: ' . $cnt_shoes . ' = ' . $shoes_ship . '<br>';
  
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
    'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE . $show_box_weight,
    'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
    'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
    'cost' => $shipping + MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING)));

    if ($this->tax_class > 0) {
      $this->quotes['tax'] = zen_get_tax_rate($this->tax_class, $order->delivery['country']['id'], $order->delivery['zone_id']);
    }

    if (zen_not_null($this->icon)) $this->quotes['icon'] = zen_image($this->icon, $this->title);

    return $this->quotes;
  }

Again, it will look messie ... we care about the counts based on what you put in your cart ...

Don't worry about the quote yet ... first let's see if this identifies the number of Products in the cart for each of the 3 kinds ...

How do I do a screen shot?

[Ajeh]

Hit PrntScrn ... now paste that into an image program as a new file ...

[BenhamCollectibles]

It is doing something wrong. It is showing 0.00 dollar as the best way for shipping. It has these lines on the shopping cart screen below the ;back to shopping' button:

CARDS: 0 = 1.05


HOTWHEELS: 0 = 1.56


SHOES: 0 = 11.56


CARDS: 0 = 1.05


HOTWHEELS: 0 = 1.56


SHOES: 0 = 11.56


Do I need to do something to the table rate or something else???? I have nothing in the table rate box because I don't know what to put in it. I am not sure what should be in place for this to work.

[BenhamCollectibles]

print screen button alone is not working, don't I need to push something else at the same time??

[Ajeh]

For now, this is fine ... we are just looking for counts ...

Now add 1 Hot Wheel ... 1 Card ... and 1 Shoes ...

Now test the amounts displayed by raising the Hot Wheels to 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 ... all the way to 20 ... are the rates right for the Hot Wheel?

Do the same on the Cards ...

I don't know if the shoes will work with this formula, as it sounds like you want a different formula for them ... but try it for fun ...

[BenhamCollectibles]

No, nothing is increasing when I add any amount of any item. The shipping still says 0.00. I have a screenshot now. How should I get it to you? I think if you see what it is doing, it will definitely help. I know what I am seeing is not right, but I need you to see it so you know what to do with it.
