Different shipping methods for different categories

[Ajeh]

To fix this for the Admin add to the code:

        if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','60');
          if ($chk_case != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
            $skip_free = true;
          }
        }

Another new error on the admin page. This time it was on line 46 which is

        $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');

Here is that whole section

// class constructor
    function flat() {
      global $order, $db;

      $this->code = 'flat';
      $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE;
      $this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
      $this->sort_order = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_SORT_ORDER;
      $this->icon = '';
      $this->tax_class = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_CLASS;
      $this->tax_basis = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_BASIS;

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping 
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) { 
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false); 
      } 
      // test contents for Cases
       global $cart;  
        $skip_free = false;
        $chk_case = 0;
        $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');
        $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','60');
        if ($chk_case != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
          $skip_free = true;
        }
      // disable for above categories 
      if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $skip_free)) { 
          $this->enabled = false;
      }

Also, now when I do a test through my site, flat rate seems to just be gone for all categories. Thanks again for all your help.

I added the code that you posted just above my previous post. And it did resolve the admin issue. But Flat Rate is simply disabled for everything now. Here's what I have.

// class constructor
    function flat() {
      global $order, $db;

      $this->code = 'flat';
      $this->title = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE;
      $this->description = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_DESCRIPTION;
      $this->sort_order = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_SORT_ORDER;
      $this->icon = '';
      $this->tax_class = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_CLASS;
      $this->tax_basis = MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TAX_BASIS;

      global $cart;
      if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','60');
          if ($chk_case != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
            $skip_free = true;
          }
        }

Should I put my global $cart up with the other globals ($order, $db;)? Thanks!

To make Flat Rate flat not show when on products from categories_id 56 and 60 are in the cart, use this:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }
      // test contents for Cases
       global $cart;
        $skip_free = false;
        $chk_case = 0;
        if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','60');
          if ($chk_case > 0  && ($chk_case != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents())) {
            $skip_free = true;
          }
        }
//echo 'FLAT : ' . $chk_case . '<br>';
      // disable for above categories
      if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $skip_free)) {
          $this->enabled = false;
      }

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

I added one more condition for when the cart doesn't contain anything from categories_id 56 and 60 ...

I think we (I really mean you) have finally got it! My first test didn't come up with an admin error, and seemed to work correctly on the customer side of things too!! You are incredible! Thank you so much. I notice that my per item option is gone too. Is that somehow in that code, or just a strange side effect? I will do a little digging into that issue, but it's not a big issue because I want per item disabled for the same reasons.
Thanks again!

[dapottster]

I think I got it worked out. I forgot that I had the simple version, checking for one category, on the item option. I have updated it to the new code and so far everything seems to be working. Thanks again for all your help!

[Ajeh]

You are most welcome ... glad that this is working for you now ...

[bfunk1972]

is there any way to add more than one id to this code?

"in_cart_check('master_categories_id','66') > 0) )"

meaning, I want to add low order fee to category 66, but also to 67,68,69.

it there any way to do this?

thanks

[Ajeh]

If you look at the code, what it is doing is checking two categories based on the master_categories_id in the products table:

          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','56');
          $chk_case += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','60');

and storing the value to:
$chk_case

It then checks if that value is the number of items in the cart to indicate that it is the only kind of Products in the cart:

          if ($chk_case > 0  && ($chk_case != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents())) {

Now what you do with the results of the count is up to you ...

[bfunk1972]

Thanks for your response.
I'm new to Zen so I'm not sure I gave enough info.
What I basically want to do it to be able to have only certain categories that add the low order fee.
So if I have 20 categories and only 5 are going to offer the low order fee, I can add those categories to the code within the file.

here is what I have now, but it only adds the fee to one category.

// if ( ($pass == true) && ( ($order->info['total'] - $order->info['shipping_cost']) < MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_ORDER_UNDER) ) {
if ( ($pass == true) && ($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','4')> 0) ) {
$charge_it = 'true';

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
