Shipping based upon quantity

[jtjohnston]

I have a module we've pieced together on another thread.

There is a problem:
'Aprons' => array(
'base' => 28.6,
'extra' => 6.6,
'ids' => array(1, 3, 2, 7)

If I test run my cart and "check out" with one quantity of #1 and two quantities of #7 it charges 'base' twice plus one 'extra' INSTEAD of one 'base' and two 'extra's.

Does any one see any gaping holes? It is based upon a per-item module. In this case it parses a string "'Apron'. If exists, it assigns a base price for shipping and an 'extra' charge for items more than one. It is supposed to restrict itself to product ids 1, 3, 2, 7.

I can code a bit, but was never good at arrays.

Cannot test it ... there appears to be Zones set on your shipping module and none are showing ...

[jtjohnston]

For itemcanada I set the shipping zone to Canada.
It should test ok for these four items at least:

It is also the only shipping module I have turned on,

What is happening is that your Products have Attributes ...

So there are 2 Products when you add products_id 1 with 1 Attribute and add products_id 1 with another Attribute ...

So, this counts as 2 base charges with the extra charge * 0 so you get the double base charge ...

Any suggestions for a work around? I thought it was reading the title. You say it is reading the title twice because of the attributes, if I follow?

Login to your account as a customer and add the Product with products_id 1 first with 1 Attribute and then with the other Attribute ...

Now look via phpMyAdmin at the customers_basket and customers_basket_attributes ...

You will see 2 records ...

So this is counting as 2 separate Products ...

Your array scheme does not take that into account when counting how many are being purchased as it looks like 2 products vs 1 product with different attributes ...

I don't have a simple solution for you on redoing this array count to address Products with Attributes as by design it is addressing each entry in the Order vs how many Products regardless of attributes ...

It can be done but it will take more customization to reach that point ...

Name your price :)

Time is more the issue ... though price plays some of it ...

Perhaps these kind folks working on this can take this a step further and manage Products with Attributes on that array sort method ...

I'm open to suggestions. The basic premise of what it should do is what I need.

It's just one of those things that just needs to get done before I launch my new cart in end of February. I'm in over my head. And It will make a great module to share after, I hope. One of things I hope to have done yesterday :)
