Different shipping methods for different categories

[Ajeh]

It does NOT work but maybe someone can show me how to fix it.
// disable when products_model is not all books this goes in item
global $db;
if (($total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents('products_model','book') == 0)) {
// show
$this->enabled = true;
} else {
// hide
$this->enabled = false;
}

You have an error in your code, you used a single = you need a double == in the IF ...

Hi all, i have been trying to implement the code from page 1 into my table rate php file, but with no luck....it just doesnt seem to make any difference

Here is a little bit of info about what i am trying to achieve.....for ease lets say i have 2 categories, each with x amount of products in.

Category 1 is chairs, and needs 2 shipping options, 48hr delivery at £15 and 24hr delivery at £30. But if you buy 2 you get it for cost of one delivery rate ( hence why i chose table rate shipping)

Category 2 is stools, and needs 2 shipping options, 48hr delivery at £10 and 24hr delivery at £20. And once again if you buy 2 you get it for cost of one delivery rate


I decided that probably best way would be to duplicate the table shipping rate 3 extra times, and then only show 2 that is needed per category.

Sadly i cant seem to get the code from page one to work correctly ( i did change the category id to be my id, and changed it from ITEM to TABLE)

Where should this code be placed, and does it overwrite any other code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance

If should go at the end of the function table, just before the closing } ...

Could you post your code so we can see it?

In answer to the question as to where to place the code
You need to be customizing the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/filename.php
where filename is the name of the shipping method that you want to hide or show. Note you have to place this code in all the methods that you want to hide and show. In my case, I put it in zones to hide it and item to show it and just swapped the last two statements about true and false.

I must still be missing something. Now Zones show up no matter what is in the cart and item shipping never shows up. It should show only item if the whole cart is books and zone other wise. Here's the code for both files. I have checked and model is set to book.
// disable when products_model is not all books this goes in zones
global $db;
if (($total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents('products_model','book') == 0)) {
// hide
$this->enabled = false;
} else {
// show
$this->enabled = true;
}

// enable when products_model is all books this goes in item
global $db;
if (($total_count - $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents('products_model','book') == 0)) {
// show
$this->enabled = true;
} else {
// hide
$this->enabled = false;
}

I need no free shipping for one category only...
I need to add only this code to freeoptions.php?

 if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','107') > 0)) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      } 

(it doesn't operate!)

thank you very much

[Ajeh]

Depends on where you put that in the code ...

[Ooba_Scott]

Ajeh - thank you for your reply, much appreciated :)

I was adding the code into the wrong place! oops my bad!

[Ajeh]

Thanks for the update that you were able to get the code working after placing it in the right location of the file ...

[Ooba_Scott]

annoyingly, the client has changed their mind and gone with the way i originally suggested haha

At least i will know now for next time, adn will be able to part my new found knowledge with others

Any suggestions for my code in #124? I think it will help a lot of people in this thread.
Thanks
