Restrict Shipping of a category of products from certain states

[Ashaw33]

Hello,

I am using version 1.3.9. I am setting up a store for someone who is selling personal protection items. He will only have about 50 products total.

There are some items (10 at most) he cannot ship to certain states. I will most likely be using the free shipper module because my client is setting his prices manually. I am open to suggestion.

I know that the zones is for countries, but these products will only be sold in the US. So I need a way to restrict them based on category and state somehow.

I would like people to be able to purchase those items in any state, but restrict them from shipping to a few states.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have seen a few posts asking for similar things, but they are very old and there don't seem to be any answers.

Assuming you have your shop setup correctly to use the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper shipping module ...

Let's assume that products_id 12, 22, 27 or 122 cannot be shipped to Florida zone_id 18 and New York zone_id 43 cannot be shipped to ...

You could customize the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper with the following code in red:

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

// bof: do not show if products_id 12, 22, 27 or 122 are in the cart
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $cart;
        $chk_products_in_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->get_product_id_list();
        $chk_products = '12, 22, 27, 122';
        $arr1 = explode(", ", $chk_products);
        $arr2 = explode(", ", $chk_products_in_cart);
        $donotshow = array_intersect($arr1, $arr2);

        // do not show florida 18 and new york 43
        $chk_delivery_zone = $order->delivery['zone_id'];
        $chk_states = '18, 43';
        $arr1 = explode(", ", $chk_states);
        $arr2 = explode(", ", $chk_delivery_zone);
        $donotshow_state = array_intersect($arr1, $arr2);
        if ((int)$donotshow_state && (int)$donotshow) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: do not show if products_id 12, 22, 27 or 122 are in the cart

    }

// class methods
    function quote($method = '') {

Not the neatest code, but it gets the job done ...

Okay, Great! I didn't expect such a thorough reply. I will give this a try. Thank you so much!

Hi there,

I also found this really useful and it works a treat, thank you.

Only thing is orders that include products with attributes are still allowed to go through.

Not sure if I've missed something obvious but I can't seem to get my head around it. Any tips?

Instead, try using:

// bof: do not show if products_id 12, 22, 27 or 122 are in the cart
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $cart;

        $chk_products_in_cart = 0;
        $chk_products_in_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '12');
        $chk_products_in_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '22');
        $chk_products_in_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '27');
        $chk_products_in_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '122');

        // do not show florida 18 and new york 43
        $chk_delivery_zone = $order->delivery['zone_id'];
        $chk_states = '18, 43';
        $arr1 = explode(", ", $chk_states);
        $arr2 = explode(", ", $chk_delivery_zone);
        $donotshow_state = array_intersect($arr1, $arr2);
        if ((int)$donotshow_state && $donotshow > 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: do not show if products_id 12, 22, 27 or 122 are in the cart

Apologies for the delayed reply here.

Still couldn't get this to work using the amended code above.

Sorry to be a bother, is there another way I can try?
