Handling charges based on product and destination country in USPS

[Arunachala]

Our store uses USPS. We would like to charge different handling cost for some products depending on the destination country. I have the logic to identify the products. To check for the destination country I would like to use the following logic
if ($order->delivery['country']['id'] == '223' || $this->usps_countries == 'US') {

I need to know where the handling charge is calculated inside the USPS module so that I can change it? I am using version 1.3.9f

Look for the cost ... similar to:

          $cost = preg_replace('/[^0-9.]/', '',  $cost);
          $methods[] = array('id' => $type,
                             'title' => $title,
                             'cost' => ($cost * $shipping_num_boxes) + (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box' ? MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING * $shipping_num_boxes : MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) );

You can use a variable instead of the:
MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING

in that code and set that variable to the Handling Fee that you want to use ...

You might peek at the Beta release of UPS and USPS for methods on having separate Handling based on National and International and see if this gives you a better start on it ...

Thanks. I will check that out. Meanwhile I need to know the name of the variable that represents the total number of items in the cart. Is there a manual that holds the name of all the variable?

[Ajeh]

This will give you an array of all the products:

global $cart;
$_SESSION['cart']->get_products()

and this would give you the Item Count of the Products x Quantity:

global $cart;
$_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()

Thanks.
