Best way to setup my shipping?

[Ajeh]

You could try this ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

and add the code in RED:

        $_SESSION['customer_zone_id'] = $check_country->fields['entry_zone_id'];

// bof: check customer zone for valid zone to order some products
        $valid_zone_id = 37; // enter value of valid zone
        $valid_zone = true;
        $check_flag = false;
        $check = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . $valid_zone_id . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $check_country->fields['entry_country_id'] . "' order by zone_id");
        while (!$check->EOF) {
          if ($check->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
          } elseif ($check->fields['zone_id'] == $check_country->fields['entry_zone_id']) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
          }
          $check->MoveNext();
        }

        if ($check_flag == false) {
          $valid_zone = $check_flag;
        }
        $_SESSION['ship_to_customer_valid_zone'] = $valid_zone;
// eof: check customer zone for valid zone to order some products

Change the setting for the:
$valid_zone_id =37;

to the zone id for you Zone Definition for the 37...


Edit the file:
/includes/functions/functions_general.php

and find the:
function zen_get_buy_now_button

then add the code in RED:

    $button_check = $db->Execute("select product_is_call, products_quantity from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$product_id . "'");

// check Product for valid zone
define('TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE2', 'Call for Price shipping');
define('TEXT_LOGIN_TO_SHOP_BUTTON_REPLACE2', 'Login for validation');
// master_categories_id are delimited in $chk_products_us_only
$chk_products_us_only = in_array(zen_get_products_category_id($product_id), explode(",", '10, 12'));
echo '$products_id: ' . $product_id . ' $master: ' . zen_get_products_category_id($product_id) . ' $chk_products_us_only: ' . $chk_products_us_only . ' good: ' . $_SESSION['ship_to_customer_valid_zone'] . '<br>';
    switch (true) {

change the master_categories_id from 10, 12 to be the master_categories_id that you need on:
$chk_products_us_only = in_array(zen_get_products_category_id($product_id), explode(",", '10, 12'));

    case (zen_get_products_allow_add_to_cart($product_id) == 'N'):
      return $additional_link;
      break;
// check Product for valid zone
    case ((!$_SESSION['ship_to_customer_valid_zone'] && $chk_products_us_only)):
      if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] > 0) {
        $return_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE2 . '</a>';
      } else {
        $return_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL') . '">' .  TEXT_LOGIN_TO_SHOP_BUTTON_REPLACE2 . '</a>';
      }
      break;
    case ($button_check->fields['product_is_call'] == '1'):
      $return_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . TEXT_CALL_FOR_PRICE . '</a>';
      break;

$valid_zone_id needs to be the id for the zone definition I made for the united states?

Right now it just shows "Please call for Price Shipping" for every country including the US.

It is marking the categories as call to ship though

[Ajeh]

Go to your Admin and go to the Locations / Taxes ... Zones Definitions ... and click on your Zone Definition for the US and click on DETAILS ...

What do you have set on the DETAILS for this Zone Definition? If you want 50 States plus DC you should see 51 zones added to it ...

In the URL, what is the zID= showing? That is what you should be setting the $valid_zone_id to be ...

Sorry for the hiatus.
It is working! I typed the wrong ID in.

Thank you very much!

One more question if you don't mind answering.

I am using the perweightunit shipping module with handling, like said earlier in this thread. One thing I realized though is that not all products need an extra $70 tacked on for orders to canada. Some orders are and extra $10 or $52 or $83. Is it possible to have this kind of pricing per product? An example of shipping,
Item A:
USA - $40, Canada - $70
Item B:
USA - $70, Canada - $70
Item C:
USA - $24, Canada - $52
Item D:
USA - $30, Canada - $83

How are you identifying which shipping module gets which of the 3 charges? Or, is there a different charge for each Product or Category or what?
