Inherited (?) shipping rules

Using CS3/PS2/eCart5/PHP: I have 4 categories, all with flat rate shipping.

CategoryID 1 : rules works fine
CategoryID 2 : this is the problem child!
CategoryID 3 : not live
CategoryID 4 : rules works fine

CategoryID 2 is parts. PartsShipping should be flat rate $9.50/box. Each box = 1 to 4 parts/box. Carrying on from: showthread.php?t=507, I created a column (PartsShipping) and added a calculation PartsShipping=abs([CategoryID] == 2) * [Quantity]. That didn't work, so I went to what you see below. PartsShipping is now $9.50 no matter what the quantity. For testing, I changed the amount to $5.00, but the grand total still calculated $9.50. So I removed (deleted) the rule and the PartsShipping column all together, and parts still showed up in the cart at $9.50. I can't see where the $9.50 is coming from?
Calculations column:

php:
//start node

  function ResetCalculations($itmObj)     {
   $itmObj->TotalWeight = $itmObj->Weight * $itmObj->Quantity;//w
   $itmObj->TotalPrice = $itmObj->Price * $itmObj->Quantity;//c
   $itmObj->FullDetails = $itmObj->Quantity . ' ' . $itmObj->Name . ' (' . $itmObj->ID . ')';//t
   $itmObj->PaperShipping = abs($itmObj->CategoryID == 4) * $itmObj->Quantity;//n
   $itmObj->TargetShipping = abs($itmObj->CategoryID == 1) * $itmObj->Quantity;//n
   $itmObj->PartsShipping = abs($itmObj->CategoryID == 2) * $itmObj->Quantity;//n
    return $itmObj;
  }
//end node



Shipping column:

php:
//Shipping

  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("SportsmanShipping"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_SportsmanShipping");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("ProShipping"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_ProShipping");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("QualifierShipping"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_QualifierShipping");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("TacticalShipping"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_FlatRate_Tactical");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("UPS%20Shipping"), false, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_UPSShipping");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("Paper30"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_Paper30");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("Paper20"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_Paper20");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("Paper10"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_Paper2");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("FreePaper"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_FreePaper");
  $this->Shipping[] = new WA_eCart_Rule(urldecode("PartsShipping"), true, "WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_PartsShipping");
}
//end node



The rules:

php:
//eCart Rule

function WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_SportsmanShipping()  {
  $totalShipping = 0;
  if (true && (($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "ID", "1") > 0))) {

Thanks...

It looks like based on your calculation here that the PartsShipping column would only ever have 0 or the quantity of that particular item that matched the category.

Where are you seeing it as $9.50? Could you post back with a copy of your eCart folder in a zip archive so that we can take a look at it directly and do some testing? I think this would be the best way to try and resolve this.

Thanks for the reply. Since posting yesterday, I've been banging away. These calculations now work GREAT (thanks!!):
PartsShipping = abs([CategoryID] == 4) * [Quantity]
PaperShipping = abs([CategoryID] == 10) * [Quantity]
But I'm stuck on one last rule. FreePaper (below and attached in my WA_eCart). This rule has now replaced the former rule which was giving problems.

php:
//eCart Rule

function WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_Paper2()  {
  $totalShipping = 0;
  if (true && (($this->InCart("TargetShipping") != true) && ($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "CategoryID", "4") > 0))) {
    $totalShipping += (ceil($this->TotalColumn("PaperShipping")/10) * 9.50);//Result
  }
  return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalShipping, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule
//eCart Rule
function WAEC_WA_Store_Cart_FreePaper()  {
  $totalShipping = 0;
  if (true && (($this->InCart("TargetShipping") == true) && ($this->ConditionalTotal("Quantity", "CategoryID", "4") > 0))) {
    $totalShipping += (ceil($this->TotalColumn("PaperShipping")/10) * 0);//Result
  }
  return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalShipping, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule



Thanks again! Once I have this worked out, it'll be smooth sailing!

These two rules pretty close, does the first one, Paper2 work for you? Looking at the second one it seems that calculation you are performing is multiplying by 0, this will always yield 0 as the result.

If you want to leave the result of the calculation as it is you would multiply this by 1 instead.

Yes, Paper2 works fine. The only difference between the 2 rules are:
if (true && (($this->InCart("TargetShipping") == true)
and
if (true && (($this->InCart("TargetShipping") != true) .

If TargetShipping (which are also CategoryID 1 items) are NOT in the cart, shipping for 1 to 10 paper items is $9.50. If TargetShipping (which are also CategoryID 1 items) IS in the cart, shipping total for 1 to 10 paper items is free.

So, if a person ordered a TargetShipping (CategoryID==1) item which had a flat rate shipping charge of $17.50 AND 1 to 10 PaperShipping (CategoryID==4) items, the total shipping charge would be the $17.50.

As it is now, the total shipping calculates $17.50 + $9.50 = $27.00 total instead of $17.50, which tells me that this: if (true && (($this->InCart("TargetShipping") == true)
is being ignored.

The last rules that you posted has one of them setting the shipping to 0. Have you updated this in the new rule? Shipping rules cannot be used to give a discounted shipping or a 0 shipping charge. You can only ever charge for shipping, not set it to 0. So if you would like for only 17.50 to be charged then the rule that charges 9.50 would need to account for the other conditions and not charge when they are present.

If you continue to have any problems with this please post back with the updated fies with the charge rules in them and an example of what the shipping charges should be for a given test item.
