exclude a product or category from Free Shipping freeoptions

Do the Products in those 2 Categories use those two categories_id as their master_categories_id ...

What are you using for the Free Shipping on orders over $100 ...

Hi thank you for the reply. I am using "order total shipping" module. Yes, I do believe the two names are the master categories. Thanks for your help.

The easier method for Free Shipping is to use the Shipping module for Free Shipping Options freeoptions and set the Total >= 50.00 ...

The customize the code in the:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

and change the code to read:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $cart;
        $chk_cat = 0;
        $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id', '10');
        $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id', '53');
        if ($chk_cat > 0) {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }

What this will do is not show the Free Shipping Options when there are Products from the master_categories_id 10 or 53 in the cart and when those Products are not in the cart, then the customer will see the Free Shipping Options and the other shipping options to choose from ...

Thank you. I just have one more question. I found the code and am wondering how much to delete from the php. I noticed where it started, but don't know where to stop the code. This is what I see.

if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE > 0) ) {
$check_flag = false;
$check = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->delivery['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");
while (!$check->EOF) {
if ($check->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
$check_flag = true;
break;
} elseif ($check->fields['zone_id'] == $order->delivery['zone_id']) {
$check_flag = true;
break;
}
$check->MoveNext();
}

if ($check_flag == false) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}
}

Thank you.

From what I understand, I replace the entire set of what is there except the very last pointed bracket?

I believe you would add the code in red just before this line

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

without deleting anything. The red code sets the $this->enabled to false in certain circumstances, so the if test will function as a switch.

Thank you so much, it works great!

Hi
Will this allow people to add products from master_categories_id 10 or 53 and have them included with the free shipping that they may have already qualified for? And/or add shipping costs only for the items that they didn't qualify for?

I am trying to enable the same scenario with 1 category for free shipping with a master_categories_id of 4. If the customer qualifies for free shipping by adding enough items from category 4 then I would like them to be able to add other items from other categories and either give free shipping on the complete order or add only the shipping costs for the added items that are not in category 4.

I would assume that I would just add a line for each category that I would like to exclude from the above php modification example. The question remains as to what happens if a customer adds items from one or more of the excluded categories as far as shipping costs?

Hope I have explained my thoughts clearly.
Thanks for any help that can be offered

Follow-up
This above coding works great for allowing free shipping on the category ID's that are not listed. If you add something from another category your free shipping (on the items that you have already qualified for free shipping) gets "tossed out the door". It DOES NOT leave free shipping on the already qualified items and just add shipping for the items in the excluded categories. It make them all paid shipping.

Is there a way of just adding the cost of the excluded items and leave the free items as not getting added in?

Example:
$30.00 minimum for free shipping
add 6 items from the free category. subtotal $35.00 no shipping

2 items from the excluded categories subtotal $60.00 Shipping is $25.00

The above 6 items plus the 2 excluded items subtotal $95 Shipping is $25.00 (My preferred method that doesn't happen)

What it is doing is:
The above 6 items plus the 2 excluded items subtotal $95 Shipping is $40.00

Any thoughts?
