Different Shipping Options for Different Customer Types

[scottmcclean]

In Admin/Configuration/Shipping and Packaging there is an option for the "Order Free Shipping 0 weight"

and in Modules/Order Total is where I set the "Allow Free Shipping"

[Ajeh]

You do not want the Modules ... Order Total .... Shipping ot_shipping to have a Free Shipping setting ...

You want the Modules ... Shipping ... Free Shipping Options freeoptions turned on with the Total set to >=0 ...

Then you need to customize the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

if you have a limited number of customers that is Free Shipping ...

Hi Ajeh,
You say I will then have to customise the file: Then you need to customize the file: /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php....

Is this actually within the code? If so I wouldnt know where to start. Also - I have about 200 invoice customers (and growing) if that make a difference.

I will install the module and see what it entails.

many thanks for your time.

How are you identifying the Invoice Customers?

[scottmcclean]

Hi Ajeh,
I use the Customers area in admin and then select the relevant option (Invoice Only) from the Discount Pricing Group drop down.

For example, let's say the Discount Group ID is 2 ... you can customize the code for:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

with the code in RED:

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

// bof: Only for Discount Group 2
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        $chk_discount_group_sql = "SELECT customers_group_pricing FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " WHERE customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";
        $chk_discount_group = $db->Execute($chk_discount_group_sql);
        if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 2) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: Only for Discount Group 2

      if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE > 0) ) {

Now only those in Discount Group ID 2 can use this shipping module ...

Cool!

Sorry to be a pain - but I have had a look at the SQL table and it appears that every customer that is not in a "discount group" is set to "0".

Is it possible to reflect in the code that if customer is in group "0" then they do not get free shipping?

I tried to put your code into the zones module but then I get an blank screen:
Is it in anyway possible to use thies code also in the table and zones module



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

// bof: Only for Discount Group 1
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
$chk_discount_group_sql = "SELECT customers_group_pricing FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " WHERE customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";
$chk_discount_group = $db->Execute($chk_discount_group_sql);
if ($chk_discount_group->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != 1) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
// eof: Only for Discount Group 1

// CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED
$this->num_zones = 3;

I have not forgotten you ... I just have not had time to really look at this and what you need vs the examples posted ...
