Ship by Quantity?

[tinyvibes]

Can anyone recommend a simple shipping mod that allows me to ship by quantity of items in the cart? I know there are several but I can't seem to find one that allows me to ship global (using tax zones) and then calculate by quantity. Everything else seems to go by weight or price. Thanks for any guidance!

Use the table rate module.

Just where it cheks for price get the cart qty and replace there.

Ok, thanks. I have that but it doesn't give the option of quantity as a table method, only price and weight. Do you mean just select price and calculate a certain way?

 

If for example 1-2 CDs is $5.95.... 3-4 CDs is $7.95.... etc. How would that work?

 

Thanks

He means to modify the code and where it checks for weight, check for quantity instead.

Alternatively make everything have a weight of 1.

 

Then you can ship by wt.

Oh, I see. My products don't have weight associated and I can't add it (long story). So I am going to try and add the code for quantity. I think I just insert this into table.php but does anyone know if I need to alter another file? Thanks

 

	tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added) values ('Shipping Table', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEMTABLE3_COST', '$default_costs', 'The shipping cost is based on the total cost or weight of items or quantity of items. Example: 25:8.50,50:5.50,etc.. Up to 25 charge 8.50, from there to 50 charge 5.50, etc', '6', '0', now())");

So you just changed the shown text and expect the computer to interpret it for you? XD

 

What you need to do is modify the code in quote() in includes/modules/shipping/table.php.

There was me thinking wt on the product table was a standard field.

Right. That is the file I am changing... just looking for the right line. I am new to PHP so thanks for any help.

I haven't tested this, so there may be typos. Let me know if it doesn't help.

 

Change line

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Table Method', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE', 'weight', 'The shipping cost is based on the order total or the total weight of the items ordered.', '6', '0', 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'weight\', \'price\'), ', now())");

to

tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Table Method', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE', 'weight', 'The shipping cost is based on the order total or the total weight of the items ordered.', '6', '0', 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'weight\', \'price\',\'quantity\'), ', now())");

 

Change the following code

	  if (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE == 'price') {
	$order_total = $cart->show_total();
  } else {
	$order_total = $shipping_weight;
  }

to

	  if (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE == 'price') {
	$order_total = $cart->show_total();
  } else if (MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_MODE == 'weight') {
	$order_total = $shipping_weight;
  } else { // quantity
	$order_total = 0;
	$products_array = $cart->get_products();

	foreach($products_array as $product) {
	  $order_total += $product['quantity'];
	}
  }

 

Remove & install the module for the configuration change to take effect.
