HELP Zones Shipping (Extra Cost For Large Items)

[Ajeh]

Is this products_attributes_id 8 the only Attribute on this Product?

[simon1066]

No, it also has a products_attributes_id of '7'

No Frame - products_attributes_id 7 (options_values_id 2)
With Frame - products_attributes_id 8 (options_values_id 1)

Only some products have a frame option

It is products 'With Frame' that need to be classed as oversized

Would something like this work for you?

/* Method to calculate the number of items in a cart based on an attribute option_id and option_values_id combo */
// example: $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check_attrib_quantity(1, 16)

  function in_cart_check_attrib_quantity($check_option_id, $check_option_values_id) {
//    global $db;
    // if nothing is in cart return 0
    if (!is_array($this->contents)) return 0;

    // compute total quantity for field
    $in_cart_check_qty = 0;

    $chk_products = $this->get_products();
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($chk_products); $i<$n; $i++) {
      foreach ($chk_products[$i]['attributes'] as $option => $value) {
        if ($option == $check_option_id && $value == $check_option_values_id) {
//          echo 'Attribute FOUND FOR $option: ' . $option . ' $value: ' . $value . ' quantity: ' . $chk_products[$i]['quantity'] . '<br><br>';
          $in_cart_check_qty += $chk_products[$i]['quantity'];
        }
      }
    }
    return $in_cart_check_qty;
  }

I have an idea to expand a similar function with more flexibility in the future but I am still giving it a think ...

I think that is exactly what I needed, the couple of checks I've made seem to work well - I'll test more once I've fully set up my shipping and hopefully give some feedback/suggestions for your future design.

This last bit of help was all I needed to finalise my shipping costs (until I find something else!) so thank you very much.

I've sent the Team a coffee and donut.

Cheers
