shipping tied to attribute

[Ajeh]

Do you have an example of an URL to the Product and which Attribute you want checked that if in the shopping cart you want to give Free Shipping?

[raunharman]

Yes, sure.

I want that if the customer buys Notebooks and Registers (2nd attribute), he should be entitled to free shipping on the entire order.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Install the shipping module for Free Shipping Options freeoptions ...

Add the code from post #9 for the file:
/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php

then on the Flat Rate flat shipping file, add the code in RED:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: Free Shipping Test - do not show Flat if Product with Attribute is in cart
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
  $chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check_attrib_quantity(20, 70);
echo 'flat: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';
  if ($chk_cart > 0) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}
// eof: Free Shipping Test

      if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_ZONE > 0) ) {

and in the file for Free Shipping Options freeoptions add the code in RED:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: Free Shipping Test - do not show FREEOPTIONS unless Product with Attribute is in cart
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
  $chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check_attrib_quantity(20, 70);
echo 'freeoptions: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';
  if ($chk_cart < 1) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}
// eof: Free Shipping Test

      if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE > 0) ) {

Change the values of 20, 70 to match your option name id and option value id, I believe those will be 3,5 to match As prescribed by School ( +Rs.650.00 ) ...

This should now turn on/off Flat Rate flat and on/off Free Shipping Options based on if the Attribute is in the cart ...

NOTE: comment out the two echos, once you have this working right ...

[raunharman]

Thanks for your prompt reply.

However, when I am ordering without the attribute (notebooks and registers --not required), the order is processing fine.

But when I select the attribute (Notebooks and Registers - As prescribed by School), it shows the following message:

Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements.


Further, in the top left hand corner of the page, the following text appears: flat: 1
freeoptions: 1

Have I done something wrong?

[lat9]

Do you have the freeoptions shipping module enabled? If not, that's your issue.

[Ajeh]

First, make sure Free Shipping Options is installed as lat9 pointed out ...

Next, when done testing, you need to comment out the two echo lines to not see that:

//echo 'flat: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';

//echo 'freeoptions: ' . $chk_cart . '<br>';

Those echos are there for testing to ensure the new function is working in both shipping modules ...

[raunharman]

Thanks a lot.

It worked well.

I had installed the Free Shipping Options module, but had removed the Total>=0.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the update that this was able to work for you ...
