Relatively easy problem with shipping module

[user001]

Hi,

 

I have this one small problem with shipping modules, the ones where i can give the weight and price (like 1:x,2:x3:x etc.)

 

How could i get it to go like this -> 1:n/a,2:x,3:x etc.. so that it would not print a price of 0.00 on catalog side, but that text n/a?

 

any help is appreciated!!

What, in this context, does n/a mean? Free shipping? You don't want to change this in the table rates module, as you want it to return a numeric value. But you could fudge checkout_shipping.php to display something else when the cost is zero.

n/a stands for that this shipping method isnt available, if i could it to show just that one module that is, would be great, but dont think there is such contribution that would do that.

 

Fudging checkout_shipping.php would do it aswell, any pointers of how do i make teh code to check if the value is zero, and if it is, print out text n/a would be greatly appreciated! :D

 

This is how far i got it:

 

if <insert somekind of funny variables in here>

echo "n/a"

else "$price"

 

Now as you see, my php skills are outstanding, but could still use a little help from the real programmers! :thumbsup:

Ok, I understand. That's not how to do it. What I think you want is for the table method to not be shown if the weight is under 2. Here's how to do it.

 

In includes/modules/shipping/table.php, function table, add $shipping_weight to the list of globals (after $order). Then after this code:

          } elseif ($check['zone_id'] == $order->delivery['zone_id']) {
           $check_flag = true;
           break;
         }

add

          elseif ($shipping_weight < 2.0) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
         }

I think that will do it. Try it and see.

Yes, this was exactly what i was looking for :)

 

I added this code, but it still shows that shipping method, even when weight is under 2.0, i wonder should there be somekind of query to database to get the product_weight?

 

i found this from the table.php:

 

$check_query = tep_db_query("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->delivery['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");

 

Aaaand this is how far i got it: :D

 

$check_query = tep_db_query("select products_weight from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_ZONE . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->delivery['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");

 

and as you can see it certainly wont work, im kinda lost of how can i complete this query, since i dont know what variables should i pull to get the products_id...

 

But then again, im not even sure does the weight needs to be queryed, or is it already passed by in some other way...?

 

Help still needed! i need the coder superhero with the cape! :)

My earlier suggestion doesn't work because the total shipping weight isn't calculated that soon. This works (I tested it).

 

In table.php, function quote, after the line:

      global $order, $cart, $shipping_weight, $shipping_num_boxes;

add this:

      if ($shipping_weight < 2.0) {
       $this->quotes = null;
       return $this->quotes;
       }
