Flat Rate Shipping - Table Rates - Duplicate for Category Specific Items?

[limelites]

It works! Wow, I'd never have thought the sort order would do that. Thanks Ajeh, it's "almost" perfect!

Now, is it possible to do the opposite code and place it in the table.php file, so that it's detecting when the cart only has items from category 409 and therefore not showing as an option?

Neat eh?

// bof: do not show if all Products are from master_categories_id 409
  if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
    // check the count of a specific field
    $chk_catAll = 0;
    $chk_cat409 = 0;
    $chk_catAll = $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();
    // check how many Products are in the cart for master_categories_id 409
    $chk_cat409 = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','409');
    // if any are found turn off the shipping module
    if ($chk_cat409 == $chk_catAll) {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }
  }
// eof: do not show if all Products are from master_categories_id 409

That's pretty amazing! I mean what you can do with code!! You're amazing Ajeh!!!

[Ajeh]

Glad that things are now working for you ...

Thank you kindly for the support, the Zen Cart Team really appreciates it greatly!

Another quick question though? How would I add categories to that code, so that it wasn't just category 409. Say for example I wanted to apply these very same rules to categories 409, 7, 105, 103, 104, 336, 372 and 361?

And what if some of those category ID's weren't actually master categories?

[Ajeh]

Follow this pattern and add as many as you need:

// bof: only show if all Products are from master_categories_id 409, 7, 103, 104
  if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
    // check the count of a specific field
    $chk_catAll = 0;
    $chk_cats = 0;
    $chk_catAll = $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();
    // check how many Products are in the cart for master_categories_id 409
    $chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','409');
    $chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','7');
    $chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','103');
    $chk_cats += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','104');
    // if any are found turn off the shipping module
    if ($chk_cats != $chk_catAll) {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }
  }
// eof: only show if all Products are from master_categories_id 409, 7, 103, 104

And what if some of those category ID's weren't actually master categories?

Meaning what, exactly?

[limelites]

Meaning what, exactly?

Meaning, the products are just linked to the category and the products isn't in there originally, so the category isn't the master category. I don't suppose it would matter?
