Different shipping methods for different categories

[Ajeh]

To turn off the Flat Rate flat shipping module, just change the one line:

if ($chk_cat < 1) {

to read:

if ($chk_cat >= 1) {

Now if there is 1 or more in the cart this shipping module will not show ...

I am lost now. Because what if someone orders more than 1?

Should I increase the 1?

Am I understanding you correctly?

Thank you.

It is my understanding that you want to run the Flat Rate flat shipping module when there are NO Products from the 3 categories in the cart ... and you want to run the Flat Rate Clone when you have 1 or more Products from the 3 categories in the cart ...

Is this correct?

I have this now:

$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','70');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','78');
if ($chk_cat >= 1) {

So, I ran a test and the amounts are reversed.

I would like 70.76.78 to be 3.95 and I set that under shipping price in admin flat clone.

The rest to be $8.00 (regular flat)

But it's reversed....yicks I am sorry I am so lost here..thanks for patience.

Example...if I add a product from 82 it's showing up 3.95 instead of 8.00.

I have been really trying to figure this out. Sorry again..

flat.php

// bof: disable for these master_categories_id
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','70');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','78');
if ($chk_cat > 0) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
// eof: disable for these master_categories_id


clone flat php

// bof: disable for these master_categories_id
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
$chk_cat = 0;
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','70');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
$chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','78');
if ($chk_cat >= 1) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
// eof: disable for these master_categories_id


Again, thank you so much helping me out and I am sorry I am lost. This is a bit challenging for me...but I am seriously trying.

You need to decide which shipping module is to be used when NO Products from the 3 Categories are in the cart and which module should be used when 1 or more Products from the 3 categories are in the cart ...

Also, what is suppose to happen on a mixed cart that has 1 or more Products from the 3 Categories and 1 or more Products that are not in the 3 Categories?

Check the directory:
/includes/modules/shipping

and make sure that you do not have any extra files, such as backup files in the directory ...

Check the directory:
/cache

and see if you have any debug logs ...
