Ship by city

Is it possible to setup a ship by city?

I have a client that would like to offer free shipping in the surrounding area where he lives but charge shipping for the rest of BC.

I know the zones are there for the provinces but I would like to see if we can narrow it down further than to the province.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

Thanks
Robert

I know of a "total solutions" shipping module by CEON - but it is only commercially available. However, I personally believe it to be good value for money.

Can a simple hack be done to test the ship to CITY field: if true $0 else follow zen cart config ....
What file must I look for to try and accomplish this ?

You can always add a look up on the shipping for the customer's city and alter the shipping ...

What shipping module(s) are you using for everyone else?

free shipping and table rate...

You can get the shipping city from the $order with:
$order->delivery['city']

Controlling the $this->enabled is how to turn on/off shipping modules ...

However, there are several Free shipping module ... are you using Free Options freeoptions to try to control the Free Shipping?

Or are you trying to use Table for everyone and "something" for the Free shipping for 1 city?

I have ONE product that is always free shipping ( product master :: Yes, Always Free Shipping )
The rest of our items will be shipped according to Table rates

No not using Free Options freeoptions, however I do plan on it as I would only want to ship free per city on orders over a certain value....

using FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper

You can do it one of two ways ...

You can change the cost in the Table Rate table to 0.00 when the $order->delivery['city'] is the free city ...

Note: the one concern is typos or abbreviations on the City ...

But, you could check the:
$order->delivery['city']

and when it is the Free City you can change cost to 0.00 ...

Would that work for you? Or do you need a separate shipping module for the Free City?

Wow...thanks for the help...

But, you could check the:
$order->delivery['city']

and when it is the Free City you can change cost to 0.00 ...

somethingb like this :

$cityList[] = "city1";
$cityList[] = "city2";
$cityList[] = "city3";
$cityList[] = "city4";
$cityList[] = "city5";

if (isset($cityList[trim(strtolower($order)])))

The best I could get city free fripping was to add this to modules/shipping/tables.php:

LOOK FOR: $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,

and place the bellow JUST above that line of code to look like this :

// CITY HACK BEGIN
$cityList[] = "montreal";
$cityList[] = "city2";
$cityList[] = "city3";
$cityList[] = "city4";
$cityList[] = "city5";
if (in_array(trim(strtolower($city)), $cityList)) {
$shipping=0;
}
// CITY HACK END
$this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,

Hope this helps anyone trying to accomplish this.
If anyone can help make this better, please do...
