double shipping (table method) module

[PaulG]

Is there a module what uses the table method way with weights, but has an price cap in it.

 

I'm building an osCommerce 2.2 shop.

I need an shipping method (shipping price) on weight.

When the price is above a vallue there aren't any shipping costs

 

Is there a simple way, or amn module what this does??

 

Thanks for all the help.

Paul,

 

This is exactly what I was after but I couldn't find a contrib

either for it. I wrote a little modification with the help of Kagg

that may be useful to you - it works well for me. As always back

up your file first and use at your own risk ;-)

 

You may try modifying any one of your shipping files in /catalog/includes/modules/shipping/....php .

 

 

Add the following lines in function quote():

 

//Modification for maximum weight     

     

      $order_total = $shipping_weight;

  //change the number two to the maximum weight

  if ($order_total >= 2) {

  $error = 'over';

      } else {

 

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

                //change the module name below to reflect the shipping module

                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_UKRD_TITLE,

                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,

                                                    'title' => $shipping_method,

                                                    'cost'=> $shipping_cost)));

}

 

//end of maximum weight

 

 

Then at the end of the function quote I have added the following line

just before the return $this->quotes;:

 

if ($error =='over') $this->quotes['error'] = 'To heavy for this service';

 

 

Hope that the above is helpful - you just need to change the details that I have

highlighted above.

 

Cheers

Thanks for your reply. With you reply I've thought of an simple but effective sollution.

 

 ? 
// set shipping cost to 0 when total value is above '350'
if ($cart->show_total() > 350) {
? ? ? $shipping = 0;
? ? ? }	
? 
$this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_TITLE,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_TEXT_WAY,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 'cost' => $shipping + MODULE_SHIPPING_TABLE_HANDLING)));

 

I add the 'if show_total is heigher then value' statement, and this does what I want.

 

thanks again
