How to kill Table Rate module?

[samar777]

How can I kill the table rate module when:

A) the weight of total items is over 300 lbs.

Or,

B). When an item from a specific category is added to the cart.

I will try any suggestions and report back here.

If you do a search on:
$_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check
$this->enabled

You should find numerous examples of how this can be used to test the cart content ...

There are also ways to include similar tests for the Order Total to enable/disable based on the $this->enabled

Ajeh, Yes I did find a whole lot of examples and it makes much sense to me now.

if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// disable if category 38 items are in the cart
if ($_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','38') > 0) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}

I used the above to kill table rate module when there is category '38' in the cart. It works well.

separate Next Question:

How do I tweak it in a way that table rate is killed when the weight is above 300 labs?
Whats the variable for total weight in cart?

The weight is in:
$_SESSION['cart']->weight

[samar777]

The weight is in:
$_SESSION['cart']->weight

How bad does this look?

if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// disable if weight over 300lbs
if ($_SESSION['cart']->weight('weight) > 300) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}

You have an error in the IF statement:

global $cart;    
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// disable if weight over 300lbs
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->weight > 300) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}

You have an error in the IF statement:

global $cart;    
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// disable if weight over 300lbs
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->weight > 300) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}

I put the EXACT code in table.php but it didn't work. hahaha what did I miss that I should know 'on the reg'.

PS: my php skill level is 0.0001 on a scale of 0.0001 to 10 .

I don't know ...

Taking that exact code, I edit the Table Rate table:
/includes/modules/shipping/table.php

and change the code to:

    // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
    if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
      $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
    }

global $cart;
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
// disable if weight over 300lbs
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->weight > 300) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}
    if ($this->enabled) {

and when the weight in the cart is 300 or less it shows and when 301 or more it does not show ...

Linda, I got it. I had a syntax in 'my' code.

Thank you so much. The code above works perfectly.

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this is now working for you after you fixed your syntax error in the code ...
