Shipping Cost based on heaviest item?

[manbowead]

Does anyone know any code i can add so there is a flat rate to one address so you can order as many items as you like to one address for a single shipping charge of the heaviest product.

 

basically if there are 3 items in the cart the shipping cost is for the heaviest item?

Why not use the actual shipping costs or offer free shipping over a certain amount?

because im using a dropshipper and this is how they have there postage set up.

in class shopping_cart.php

$this->weight += ($qty * $products_weight);

 

needs to be changed to

if $this->weight<$products_weight

{

$this->weight=$products_weight ;

}

 

This will place the final weight as the heaviest weight and solve your problem.

I am not a programmer, but are you sure about

if $this->weight<$products_weight

maybe

if $this->weight>$products_weight

cheers for the help but this wouldnt work for me. if the customer has 3 items in the cart and the postage cost of each item are: 3.99, 4.99 adn 6.99, i dont want the customer to pay 15. 97 for postage when they could get it for flat rate of the heaviest ot 6.99.

 

i cant program but surely each item is assigned a value which is thier weight, i need something at checkout which works with the shipping table module and would check the basket to see which has the heaviest item and use that for the postage cost.
