How to show Low Order Fee in shopping cart?

Hi!

I have an order minimum of $50 with a $10 fee. Currently, this fee does not show up until near the end of the checkout process.

I can find the file that controls the fee (/includes/modules/order_total/ot_loworderfee.php) but I'm not sure which file controls the shopping cart display... nor do I have any clue what to insert into the cart file to reflect that fee.

I can see that similar questions have been asked, but I have not found the answer. Sorry if this is a repeat or in the wrong place!

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Mike

You could test the shopping cart total to the MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_ORDER_UNDER and if lower then tell the customer there will be a fee of MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_FEE ...

NOTE: you should also review the module for Virtual Products and Gift Certificates ...

Hi Ajeh,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Unfortunately, I barely know enough about php to perform an easy find/replace change. I can't even write a simple if/then routine like the one you suggest. :cry:

In case others come along later, this is what I did:

1. Open the file /includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php
2. Find this statement:
   define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Your Shopping Cart Contents');
3. Replace with this:
   define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Your Shopping Cart Contents<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> $10 Order Minimum charge will be added to orders under $50.</span></h4>');

This is far from ideal, but what it does is put an ALERT IN RED at the top of your shopping cart page. So now when your customer adds something to the cart, they will be given notice.

This is far from ideal because the ALERT is always there, no matter what the value of the cart content is. Ideally, the alert would only be shown until the minimum is reached.

If someone figures out how to write the routine suggested by Ajeh, would you please post it in here?

Thanks!

You could try something like this in the language file:

//define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Your Shopping Cart Contents');
define('HEADING_TITLE', (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_ORDER_UNDER > $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() ? 'Your Shopping Cart Contents<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> ' . $currencies->format(MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_FEE) . ' Order Minimum charge will be added to orders under ' . $currencies->format(MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_LOWORDERFEE_ORDER_UNDER) . '. </span></h4>' : 'Your Shopping Cart Contents'));

YAHOO!!!
