Different shipping methods for different categories

[Trice]

Do you think this code is going to "make this show" when the products_model matches: bagship

    // disable for one master_categories_id
    if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_model','bagship') > 0)) {
      $this->enabled = true;
    }

The reason I ask is, if the module is installed, then the:
$this->enabled

is already true ...

I think you want to reverse the logic and use:

    // disable for one master_categories_id
    if ((IS_ADMIN_FLAG == false && $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_model','bagship') < 1)) {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }

so that the module is turned OFF is there is not at least 1 Product with the products_model of: bagship

Oh thank you so much that works, now it only shows when there is something with bagslip - but i must have missed a step somewhere because the shipping price that I entered into the weight is not showing up (I know I remember reading how to make that work, but for some reason I lost it) can you explain that?

Define "lost" ...

Did you set the Per Unit to 1.00 when you installed it?

Lost - meaing I read the thread somewhere and thought I did what it asked me to do, but now can't find the thread with the instruction -

But I found it!! You are awesome.

But I really really hate to be a pain in the ########, but now I think somewhere along the line I didn't think it all through, because now if I have a product with bagship as the model and then a product with reg (which is my table rate mod that I want to use for products with reg as the model Both shipping mods are coming up as choices for the customer. How can I make the shipping either combine ?? Please see the screen print attached

How does your Table Rate shipping module work? Off of Weight, Price or Item count?

You have some mixed up code ...

This should be working with the constants for the table2.php code not the bagship.php code:

    // disable only when entire cart is free shipping 
    if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) { 
      $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_BAGSHIP_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false); 
    }

I have to work out the code for this ... but I am now sleeping ...

Based on the fact that you are using weight for the bagship products and item count for the reg products ... this could actually be done with the table2.php module by itself ...

The difference it to make calculations a little different where you leave table2.php setup as it is for the count or items, but reduce the count by the number of products that are bagship and then apply the table rate calculation ...

Then, add in the weight to account for the bagship products ...

But I have to actually think this through for more than 5 minutes and I went to sleep 15 minutes ago ...

So give this a slow think ... and see if you can work out the calculations ... and if not, I will look at it in the morning to work out the calcuations based on how much weight belongs to the bagship products which is all the weight as the reg products have no weight plus the calculation of the number of items - the number of items that are bagship ...

I am right there with ya ....thanks so much for your help. I will look at this with a fresh set of eyes tomorrow when I get home from work. Thanks again!!! I'm sure you will be hearing from me, like I said this is my first crack at php and a shopping cart, but I think I'm grasping some of it anyway....thanks again....night night!!

I appreciate all your help with this. I have looked at this and wonder if I'm not getting in over my head. I have figured out that I also want to add a discount for shipping of products under the bagship label. So if someone purchase 1 bagship product the second item that is a bagship would be 50% off the shipping cost that was put into the weight section by the store owner. Am I still going to be able to do this they way that you suggested?

[Ajeh]

It would take quite a bit of customizing to work in a 50% discount ...

What happens when 3 bagship are in the cart or 4?

Ok so I talked the person that I am creating this for into making my life simple. I told her I was gonna lock her in the closet if she didn't cut me a break.....

Anyway I'm going to work on this later tonight, but will you tell me if this is possible

Going to use the table rate for both bagship and reg (still basising it on what is entered into the model number)

Will I be able to combine those into one table shipping module?
