flat rate shipping to specific products

[Ajeh]

You are passing the wrong value for the master_categories_id ...

This is the cPath: 61_63_330

The master_categories_id is the immediate categories_id that the product is in, for this example it would be: 330

You can check the master_categories_id value by editing the Product to be sure that you are using the right values ...

** Wait! I want to try what you said first, I didn't see it when I wrote this below!!**

Or maybe just adding the flat shipping fee to the canada post would be simpler...

If I have products in the master categories of my choice, skip the usual fees and charge 5$
If I have only products outside of the master categories, charge the usual fees
If I have both products, add the 2 fees

Would this be easier to manage all in the canada post module ?

It works perfectly!!!!

Thank you so much for all your help and your patience!

I am trying to set two different flat rates for certain categories.

I want master category 62 & 76 just to be $3.00
And the rest $8.00.

I have re-read this thread several times...no success.

I added this code to my flat.php


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

if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
global $cart;
$chk_categories = 0;
$chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','62');
$chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','76');
if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != $chk_categories) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}

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

AND when I went to Shipping Modules in admin it was blank..no modules showed up.

So I put the flat.php back to the original.

Then I cloned the flat.php and renamed to flat3.php and still no success.

So I am lost here.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your help so far with this, just have one question.

I am trying to set this up so that there are 2 categories with different flat rates.

I have this code but I think I need an If statement in there so that it only charges whatever is bigger.

        $extra_shipping = 0.00;
        global $cart;
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','1');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','4');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','5');
        if ($chk_categories > 0) {
          $extra_shipping = 8.50;
        }

        $extra_shipping2 = 0.00;
        global $cart;
        $chk_categories2 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','3');
        $chk_categories2 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','6');
        if ($chk_categories2 > 0) {
          $extra_shipping2 = 14.50;
        }





      $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,

                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE,

                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,

                                                     'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_WAY,

                                                     'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_COST + $extra_shipping + $extra_shipping2)));

If you only buy items from Categories 1,2,4 & 5 you pay $8.50

If you buy from Categories 3 & 6 you pay $14.50

If you buy from mixed categories the maximum you will pay is $14.50

Hope you can help

Thanks

Steve

You could use beneath that code:

if ($extra_shipping2 > 0) {
  $extra_shipping = $extra_shipping2;
}

Then you have the value of $extra_shipping as either 8.50 or 14.50 ...

This is the final piece

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


        $extra_shipping = 0.00;
        global $cart;
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','1');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','2');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','4');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','5');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','7');
        if ($chk_categories > 0) {
          $extra_shipping = 7.50;
          $extra_shipping2 = 0;
        }

        $extra_shipping2 = 0.00;
        global $cart;
        $chk_categories2 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','3');
        $chk_categories2 += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','6');
        if ($chk_categories2 > 0) {
          $extra_shipping2 = 11.50;
        }


	if ($extra_shipping2 > 0) {
  	$extra_shipping = $extra_shipping2;
	}



      $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE,
                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                     'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                     'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_COST + $extra_shipping )));

Thanks for the update that this is now working for you and for posting the final solution on the code changes ...

[yoppo]

I've tried the script madkeen posted but I keep getting an error "Call to a member function in_cart_check() on a non-object" on this line of the script

$chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','1'); 

I'm not sure what the problem is!

Thanks!
