Use UPS XML and Table Rates

[timhersh]

Thank you, I thought there would be a way to just edit the ups module to check the flat rate table option and add them together

[timhersh]

any other ideas out there on how to edit the existing modules to achieve this?

This is actually not as hard as you think ...

If you could provide a few more details ... I can tell you how to do this ...

When an Order is made, what specifically can be used as an indicator of Products that can ONLY use Table Rates ...

Example, would the master_categories_id of a Product indicate if the Product can go via UPS or Table Rate?

Thank you that would be great. I could use a master category but that would cause a problem since the "drums" are in more than one category. Would it be possible to use product id#'s? That would be best since there isnt' really a specific category that would ALL go the table rate

thank you

Actually it looks like I will need to use the "zone rates" module since it will charge a different rate depending on the state they are in

thanks

one last question. Would this module work with zen cart 1.5 http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...t=zones+tables

I need to split up zones if they order a drum. Each zone has 6 states and the rate is different for each zone..

Let's say you have 3 master_category_id values for the specific Categories that are no suppose to use UPS ...

You can test for these Products by using in the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/upsxml.php

Add the code in RED and set the master_categories_id to the Categories that you do not want to use the UPS shipping for ... if you need more Categories, just add additional lines for them ...

// bof: test for not allowed categories 10, 12 and 15
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        $chk_cat = 0;
        // check how many Products are in the cart for master_categories_id 10 and 12
        $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','10');
        $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','12');
        $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','15');
        // if any are found turn off the shipping module
        if ($chk_cat > 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: test for not allowed categories 10, 12 and 15
      if (($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_UPSXML_RATES_ZONE > 0)) {

then, whether you use the Table Rate table or another shipping module, you can use similar code and just change the test ...

That will effectively disable a shipping method for the order if it is not applicable based upon master category id... I think part of the OPs request was to have one order with products requiring different shipping methods (UPS / table / etc) and have a shipping quote returned for all items in the order (add together quotes from all necessary methods)... but maybe I was wrong?
