Flat rate shipping change

[pensive612]

Hi everyone,

I had modified my flat.php shipping rules in includes/modules/shipping/ to offer a flat rate if the checkout was less than $250.

I put in this handy code that said:

      if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()) < 250) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

Which worked perfect.

But after transferring servers I now get the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function show_total() on a non-object in flat.php on line 41

Can anyone tell me what I have to add to allow the $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() to work on the flat.php page?

Thanks so much in advance.

Adam.

Would really help to know the server details for both servers

Change your IF to include:
IS_ADMIN_FLAG

if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG && ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()) < 250) {

This way the Admin does not try to processes the code that isn't available to it ...

Aah. 2 of my favorite people in all of Zen Cart... :)

The code worked perfect Linda. Thank you so much.

Although, I wonder is it still processing the statement? Or does the flag just prevent it from running...

And to Kobra. Thank you for asking... Both are Dedicated Quad-core Linux Servers administered with WHM.

On another note. I just have to say. That as much competition as there is in open-source eCommerce. And while there is always undeniable pressure on developers to provide clients with the "latest and greatest" solutions....

Zen Cart's support and community is unparalleled. I have never seen a community come even close to Zen Cart's. The both of you have been there since the beginning for me. And I can't tell you how much it means... You set an entirely different standard.

I'm speechless.

Thank you...

You are most welcome ...

The addition to the IF just says, IF I am the Admin ( !true meaning IS_ADMIN_FLAG is true but the ! says NOT) ... stop! don't look at the $_SESSION['cart'] as it don't exist here ...

But in the Catalog ... it says IF I am I am NOT the Admin (IS_ADMIN_FLAG is false and !false is true) go! keep processing this IF statement as now the $_SESSION['cart'] does exist here ...

Easy smeazy, eh?

ha.... piece of cake.

thanks for the explanation. I'm sure someone else is going to make good use of this page at some point too.

Its a great way to have conditional shipping options...

There's a cup of coffee and a donut in the mail for you too. Been a while.

Have a good day.
