Restrict shipping module to specific category

[Lanbo]

Since categories 15 and 16 are the only ones that cannot ship FedEx (I probably should have mentioned that, sorry), I changed it to this and it appears to work properly. Do you foresee any problems with anything?

    if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
      global $cart;
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','15');
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','16');
      
      if ($chk_cat > 0) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    } 

Thanks again.

That method can work ...

You mainly are trying to build a test to see what is in the cart and when that condition is met either allow or not allow the shipping module is shown ...

Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye on it in the event I add other non-ground shippable items.

With my other question about no allowing checkout if the items are mixed, should I ask that in its own thread?

Thanks again.

If you build your conditions on when the shipping module can display, if all shipping modules get disabled because of the conditions you test for then the customer will not be able to checkout ...

Makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am using the same FedEx module and was wondering if it is possible to disable the shipping based upon a specific product instead of a specific category?

I have one product that is light, but because of the dimensions it must be shipped freight. I am hoping to disable FedEx from quoting shipping on that single product and allow the freightquote module to pick it up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

I'm sure there are other ways, but if you're wanting to do it exactly like I did with my category, you could do the single item like this. Let's assume the product ID is 12.

    if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) { 
      global $cart; 
      $chk_cat = 0; 
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','12'); 
       
      if ($chk_cat > 0) { 
        $this->enabled = false; 
      } 
    } 

That should do the trick. But as noted in earlier posts, that will disable FedEx if that item is added even if there are other items that are eligible for FedEx.

EDIT: Sorry for the original crappy PHP code, I posted it from my iPad and it didn't work so well.
