Help Shipping issue

[dharrison]

Hi All. We already have the per weight unit shipping option avalable for our ergonomic education furniture store. We have a new product that is flat packed that instead of being per unit, it is now a flat fee regardless of how many are ordered.

My question is, can this be set up on an individual item? Please advise.

Many thanks

I have tried installing both, but that just sets up both options at the checkout.

Please, could anyone point me in the right direction.

You could customize the Per Unit perweightunit shipping module and add the code in RED where 10 is the products_id:

  function quote($method = '') {
    global $order, $shipping_weight, $shipping_num_boxes;
      $extra_shipping = 0.00;
      global $cart;
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','10');
      if ($chk_products > 0) {
        $extra_shipping = 2.50;
      }
    $total_weight_units = $shipping_weight;
    $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                          'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_TITLE,
                          'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                   'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                   'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_COST * ($total_weight_units * $shipping_num_boxes) +
                                                   (MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_PERWEIGHTUNIT_HANDLING) + $extra_shipping ) ));

NOTE: do not miss the change to the last line ...

Thanks for this Ajeh

I assume that it can be adjusted to category_id as well?

[dharrison]

Actually sorry scrub that last answer.

I assume for multiple products it would be 'products_id', '10,'12' etc?

Sorry but I am still getting to grips with basic php.

Thx

Actually I have worked this out by looking at one of your other threads:

$chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','360');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','361');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','362');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','363');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','348');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','352');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','369');
      $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','367'); 

My burning question now, is can flat rate be added to if more than 1 product id listed is bought? So if Product ids 360 and 361 are bought together, how can we total the flat rate to £100?

Please advise.
