Free shipping item triggers all else in cart to be free shipping

[avansant]

I have a cart with flat rate shipping, but some things we have marked "free shipping" in the product description, which works fine. BUT if customer order things that are NOT free shipping, then they have to pay shipping. We want any free shipping item in the cart to trigger ALL in the cart to now be free shipping.

Is there a way to accomplish this? Or a mod? I've been searching the forum forever and keep finding things that sound close but then aren't this so I apologize if I missed it!

Do you just have the Flat Rate flat and FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper installed?

They're the only ones I have on, yes.

To do this, customize the shipping module:
/includes/modules/shipping/flat.php

with the code in RED:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }
// bof: give Free Shipping if 1 or more Always Free Shipping is in cart
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
  $chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('product_is_always_free_shipping','1');
  if ($chk_cart > 0) {
    $this->enabled = false;
  }
}
// eof: give Free Shipping if 1 or more Always Free Shipping is in cart

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

and the module:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeshipper.php

      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREESHIPPER_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }
// bof: give Free Shipping if 1 or more Always Free Shipping is in cart
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
  $chk_cart = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('product_is_always_free_shipping','1');
  if ($chk_cart > 0) {
    $this->enabled = true;
  }
}
// eof: give Free Shipping if 1 or more Always Free Shipping is in cart

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