Free Shipping Qualifier SideBox and Shopping Cart Module V2.0 [Support Thread]

[frank18]

I would recommend using (in the package) a new file in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ so users do not have to edit anything to get base functionality. If they want to customize the text, they will of course have to edit a language file.

/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/free_shipping_sidebox_definitions.php
or something.

Thanks Glenn, v2.1 has been submitted a few days ago (awaiting approval) and it takes care of that.

Good to hear that:)

Version 2.1 is now available for download.

Changes:

The language defines have been moved from

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/shopping_cart.php

to a new file

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/free_shipping_qualifier_defines.php

Enjoy

I got this module working. My question is, is there anyway to get this module to work with the Free Shipping Rules module? The way it is set up now is in order for it to show how much more you need to add to your cart to qualify for free shipping, you have to have the "Allow Free Shipping" option on. The problem with this is that it overrides all other shipping option if your order is over the total set for the free shipping. When they go to checkout, it does not give them other shipping options then. Just the free shipping.

If the FREE SHIPPING module is active and shown to the customer during checkout, all other modules automatically disappear. That is standard ZC logic. You either offer Free Shipping or you don't (based on certain pre-determined criteria).

To enable free shipping for customers and at the same time offer other shipping options to customers, you need to use the Free Shipping Options module instead.

The Free Shipping Options module allows you to specify different conditions for a customer to qualify for free shipping. For example, when the total order exceeds a certain amount or weight, or when the total number of items bought is above a certain threshold value.

This 'Free Shipping Qualifier SideBox and Shopping Cart Module' has not been tested to work with the built-in Free Shipping Options module.

You may want to do some testing yourself and post your findings here.

You said it! Did you work on this problem?

I thought it was a great addition to my cart when I got the module to work but then after playing with it I decided to drop it because it does not give the choice to select other shipping methods or carriers.

Example: What if the user qualifies for FREE shipping but couldn't care less? What if he wants is to have his stuff shipped UPS overnight?

What did you end up doing smoke133?

This mod has not been tested with the Free Shipping Rules module (by Numinix - designed for ZC version 1.3.8a) nor was it designed to seamlessly work with the Free Shipping Rules module.

As we are now up to ZC version 1.3.9h (which this mod is tested on) and the Free Shipping Rules module is based on 1.3.8a, it may take some effort (and considerable time) to merge the 2 mods and test the resulting logic to the effect that it can be submitted as a (merged) update.

Sadly, time is something I am bit short of at the moment ...

I came across this post while trying to find a solution to the Free Shipping Qualifier mod not working in my shopping cart due to using the freeoptions module and not the ot_shipping & freeshipper modules. I found a solution that worked for me and wanted to share.

My store version 1.3.9h… in my ot_shipping module I set my free shipping dollar amount to what I wanted and set the Allow Free Shipping to false. I kept my freeoptions settings the way they were. Opened the tpl_shopping_cart_default.php file and found the line that contains

if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING == 'true')

I changed the true to false. Worked fine once that was changed. I do not have the freeshipper module installed.
