Free shipping cart wide if a particular item is purchased

[attroll]

I am not sure if I posted this in the right forum.

I have an item in my store. Lets say a particular hammock. I want to set it up so that if anyone purchases this item they will receive free shipping on anything else that they add to there cart as long as they purchase this hammock. Is this possible?

Is the free shipping only "on anything else that they add to there cart"
or does it include free shipping on the hammock as well.
iow is the entire order, free shipping?

I want it so that when someone picks this item (hammock) that everything else that is included with this items in there shopping cart are also free shipping.
But if they do not pick this item (hammock) then the other items are as they normally are and you have to pay for shipping.

So you are saying, buy a hammock and get totally Free Shipping, regardless of what is or isn't in the cart with the hammock, correct?

What shipping module(s) are you using?

Yes, this is exactly what I am saying and want.
I am currently only using Zone Rates for a shipping module.

You could use the Free Shipping Options freeoptions for Hammock and customize the two shipping modules ...

Customize the Zone Rates zones shipping module with the code in RED:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping

      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONES_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: disable if products_id 12 is in cart
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        $chk_product = 0;
        $chk_product = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','12');
        if ($chk_product > 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: disable if products_id 12 is in cart

      // CUSTOMIZE THIS SETTING FOR THE NUMBER OF ZONES NEEDED
      $this->num_zones = 3;

and reverse the logic for the Free Shipping Options freeoptions where you can set the Total >= 0 to manage that shipping module, customized with the code above, but reversed ...

        if ($chk_product == 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
}
