Different shipping methods for different categories

[DivaVocals]

The methods used in post #498 do look correct in all three methods you have posted for:
master_categories_id
manufacturers_id
products_id

the idea being you are testing the cart to see what's in there and turning off the module based on the result ...

Yes ma'am I am.. or at least that's the plan when I get back to messing with this.. Got a LOT going on with this particular build so I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row as it were.. Thanks for the sanity check..

Have you gotten this working or are you still having issues?

One of the things that stand out is that your naming conventions for the files, variables and constants are using underscores ...

Your file:
signpost.php

is the closet to correct ...

The other files:
pos_malaysia.php
singpost_plus_posmalaysia.php

should be remade from the file:
signpost.php

where you can change all:
signpost to posmalaysia
SIGNPOST to POSMALAYSIA
and the filenames to posmalaysia.php

and copy then:
signpost to singpostplusposmalaysia
SIGNPOST to SIGNPOSTPLUSPOSMALAYSIA
and the filenames to singpostplusposmalaysia.php

Now add in your customization for the $chk_cat for each one ...

I think the conflicts are worth fixing before you proceed ...

Then remove all traces of the old files from your site for:
pos_malaysia.php
singpost_plus_posmalaysia.php

From here, we can look further into what needs to be done ...

Thanks Linda, still having problem. I have followed your instruction, check out is fine now for all 3 modules , mixed cart and cart with only #20 are also working fine but cart without #20 still show all three modules (should be only Singpost), back to the same problem posted #501

In the module for:
posmalaysia

what happens if you change the IF to:

      if ($chk_cat > 0  && $chk_cat == $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {

[Defanci]

In the module for:
posmalaysia

what happens if you change the IF to:

      if ($chk_cat > 0  && $chk_cat == $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {

Didn't work, cart without #20 still show all three modules and posmalaysia no longer show up in cart with only #20 which it suppose to show.

[Ajeh]

And please confirm these shipping rules:

1. singpost - enable for all categories except cat #20

2. posmalaysia - enable when cart only have cat #20

3. singpostplusposmalaysia - mixed cart enable only when cart have cat #20 plus any other cat

Using a slightly different approach ...

SIGNPOST:

 // bof: disable for these master_categories_id
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      // check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $this->enabled = true;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','20');
      if ($chk_cat > 0) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
echo '<br>SINGPOST - ' . 'chk_cat: ' . $chk_cat . ' count: ' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . ' ' . ($this->enabled ? 'ON' : 'OFF') . '<br>' . ' - 1. singpost - show when cart without cat #20' . '<br><br>';
    }
    // eof: disable for these master_categories_id

POLYMALAYSIA:

    // bof: disable for these master_categories_id
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      // check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $this->enabled = false;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','20');
      if ($chk_cat > 0 && $chk_cat == $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
        $this->enabled = true;
      }
echo '<br>POSMALAYSIA - ' . '$chk_cat: ' . $chk_cat . ' total count: ' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . ' ' . ($this->enabled ? 'ON' : 'OFF') . '<br>' . ' - 2. pos_malaysia - show when cart have only cat #20' . '<br><br>';
    }
    // eof: disable for these master_categories_id

SINGPOSTPLUSMALAYSIA:

      // bof: enable for mixed cart where cat #20 must be present plus any other cat
    global $db, $cart;
    if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false) {
      // check master_categories_id add one line per master_categories_id
      $chk_cat = 0;
      $this->enabled = false;
      $chk_cat += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','20');
      if ($chk_cat > 0 && $chk_cat != $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
         $this->enabled = true;
      }
echo '<br>SINGPOSTPLUSMALAYSIA -' . 'chk_cat: ' . $chk_cat . ' count: ' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . ' ' . ($this->enabled ? 'ON' : 'OFF') . '<br>' . ' - 3. singpost_plus_posmalaysia - show when cat #20 plus any other cat<br><br>';
     }

Bingo! It Works!
Linda, you are the BEST, thank you for being so patience.

Thanks for the update that this is working and sorry for the delay in getting the three of these working as needed ...

I am using ver 1.5 zencart if that makes a difference.

Want to do like the first post. I understand alittle about putting the code in the shipping options you do not want it to show in. Just not quite sure how to get it to go to table rate with a mixed cart or other items?

I have 4 different shipping methods

Jewelry Shipping - using flatrate clone called jewelry.php = This I only want categories with jewelry items to use this shipping option. Turn off if there is a combination of jewelry and other items or just other items in the cart and use the Table Rate Option

Linen Shipping - using flaterate clone called linen.php = This I only want categories with linen items to use this shipping option. Turn off if there is a combination of Linen and other items or just other items in the cart and use the Table Rate option

Shoes Shipping - using item shipping clone called shoes.php = This I only want categories with shoes items to use this shipping option. Turn off if there is a combination of shoes and other items or just other items in cart and use Table Rate option.

Table Rate Option - using the table rate clone table1.php = This I only want to use this on all other categories and mixed carts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mack
