Fixed Rate for light carts

[JTCasinoGames]

What does he mean by "put it on the flat.php" ?
And does "throwing the same error" mean it's *exactly* the same, or just similar? Post the new error.

we were trying to get a flat rate for a item that would ship with a USPS flat rate box. The error messages we got were:

in zen cart when you select, modules then shipping we got:


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/jtcasino/jtcasinogames.com/shop/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 120




on the website, when the customer opened the shipping estimator AND when they went to checkout, it showed the error:

Warning: usps(../admin/includes/functions/general.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/jtcasino/jtcasinogames.com/shop/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 56 Warning: usps(): Failed opening '../admin/includes/functions/general.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/jtcasino/jtcasinogames.com/shop/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 56




These are the two errors we got.
Someone suggested that the general.php file might be missing. It was not.

Please post line 120 of that file. In fact, please zip up that file and post it as an attachment here.

It doesn't make any sense that the code would reference any admin files from the storefront. This suggests some odd customizations to your shipping module. Posting the file, as mentioned above, may help figure out what's happening.

By what method are you implementing code changes? Do you edit on a PC and then upload the changes via FTP? Which editor?
Or are you editing directly on the website with some sort of tool? Which tool?

Here is is response:
"I do it both ways, sometimes directly on the server (notepad type) or sometimes notepad on my pc then upload...for some reason it's not seeing the other functions/classes it needs to function eventhough the setup is a default setup..."

Um ... well ... that can't be the right file.

Line 120 is ... well ... blank.

and ... so is line 56.


There is some "difference" in line-endings around the line-120 mark, so I suppose it's possible that something's awry in the file. Reloading the original might help.

I'd be inclined to be reloading the files from the /includes/modules/shipping and /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping folders,
... and MAKE SURE you don't have extra unused files sitting in those folders, since they are "autoload"-type folders ... anything ending in .php will be run, even if the files are old, backups, testing, etc. So, don't keep backups in there. Keep them somewhere else.

OK... got things back to the way they were. No more errors...
Gonna try this one more time if someone could help.

Here is what we are trying to do:

I enabled the Table Weight option.

I have it set that if the customers cart weighs 1 pound or LESS, they have the option of selecting a Table Rate Shipping fee of $6.

What I want to happen is if the cart is OVER 1 pound, I want this table rate option NOT to appear as a selection, leaving only the UPS shipping options I have already defined.

Thank you again for any help.. I am a total noob at this stuff...

Ok.
Just had my guy put the following line into my flat.php as Dr. Byte recomended.

if ($_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() > 2) $this->enabled = false

His response back to me was

"doesn't work still....the moment i add even this $_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() and try to open the control panel ->shipping area, it stops loading...I even uploaded a fresh flat.php and tried on another fresh install of the latest zencart but no luck...ask them where the calculate() function is, as it might not be called inside flat.php, the show_weight function/class is just running that function...."

Dr. Byte? or anyone else have a thought.
