Set a flat shipping cost for a single item

[gloerick]

Hello Ajeh or any one :-)

How can I get a per item flat shipping cost on an item ?

I have a few items that ship same cost no matter what
and the normal shipping method raises the shipping to high.

Thx,
Erick

also is there a way to have the cart HALF the weight shown per item for shipping.

or a way to quickly change ALL weights to HALF what they are currently set at at checkout, or I will have a whole lot of updating to do...

Set the weight of the Product to 0, then, in the function quote of your shipping modules you could use:

    global $cart;
    $chk_products = 0;
    $extra_products_charge = 0.00;
// check for products_id 12 and add $5.00 to shipping
    $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id','12');
    if ($chk_products > 0) {
      $extra_products_charge = 5.00;
    }

Then, add the new variable:
$extra_products_charge

to the cost on your shipping module(s) ...

will give it a try,
also how to add like a small truck icon to the categories.php
page so that with each Item when it shows the other small icons such as status, sort, edit, move, copy and such.

add one as a small truck to show the item has free shipping set. free_shipping_set.png set in the same admin icon location as the other images such as the icon_edit.gif

[gloerick]

can the free shipping also be clickable like the status is to turn on and off the free shipping for that item ?

[Ajeh]

You will need to write your own code for the:
/admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php

look around line 335-342 for:
action=setflag

to see how that is writen ... then look at the:
/admin/categories.php

around line 107 for:
case 'setflag':

and see how the code is written ...

You can build your custom code using the same method ...

[gloerick]

is ok, It confuses me, I just do not understand php programing. will find someone to get it done.

[gloerick]

what would I use to replace the products_status in the code ?
what am I making a call for ?

[gloerick]

I looked in product.php, the file that seems to load to admin the item, but the word shipping is not in the code ?

[gloerick]

so copy the bit of code you say and change the products_status to use
TEXT_PRODUCT_IS_ALWAYS_FREE_SHIPPING from the product.php page ?
