Magento

Hi all !

All is in the title ... if free shipping is available for an order (price > min price configured) it’s strange to propose other shipping methods.

So how would it be possible to show only free shipping option ?

Thanks !

Maybe this will be possible once they implement the shopping cart rules correctly.

Hi there - I have done this with my tweakmag_shipping extension (available on connect). What it allows you to do is set a minimum and maximum order value for the shipping method to be active. This way you can chain as many shipping methods together as you like. For example:

1 Australia Post - min. 0 max 299.99
2. Free Shipping - min 300

So you can see that free shipping becomes available and Australia Post no longer shows, I will be adding more methods shortly.
Cheers

Finally I managed to do this changing app/design/frontend/default/default/template/checkout/cart/shipping.phtml around line 52 :

<dl class="shipment-methods">
<?php $freeOnly = False; ?>
<?php foreach ($_shippingRateGroups as $code => $_rates): ?>
<?php if ( $code == "freeshipping") {$freeOnly = True;}?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php foreach ($_shippingRateGroups as $code => $_rates): ?>
<?php if (( $freeOnly == False) || ( ( $freeOnly == True ) && ( $code == "freeshipping" ) )): ?>
<dt><?php echo $this->getCarrierName($code) ?></dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_rates as $_rate): ?>
<li class="<?php if ($_rate->getErrorMessage()) echo 'error-msg';?>">
<?php if ($_rate->getErrorMessage()): ?>
<?php echo $_rate->getErrorMessage() ?>
<?php else: ?>
<input name="estimate_method" type="radio" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_rate->getCode()) ?>” id="s_method_<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"<?php if( ($_rate->getCode()===$this->getAddressShippingMethod() || ($code == "freeshipping") )) echo ' checked="checked"' ?>/>
<label for="s_method_<?php echo $_rate->getCode() ?>"><?php echo $_rate->getMethodDescription() ?> - <strong><?php echo $_rate->getPrice() ?></strong></label>
<?php endif ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</dd>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</dl>

/app/design/frontend/default/default/template/checkout/onepage/shipping_method/available.phtml must be changed the same way.

Bye

Thanks PitchOu

Just what I was looking for. Works great.

************UPDATE*********************
When I did a complete test I got an error message

See next thread

********************************************

Looks like it’s not perfect after all. When I tried with a product to get the free shipping I get an error message saying that there is no shipping method for it.

Has anyone else get this message?

Hi JoeNmass, I’ve just got your PM.
Seems that your shipping country is not enabled for free shipping. Could you check in admin (admin/system_config/edit/section/carriers), in the free shipping tab ?

I do have the shipping country enabled but I am still getting that notice.
Could I be overloooking something else?

I´m also very interested in a solution here. I also get a (slightly different) error message. I copied Pitchous code in the according part of both files, available.phtml and shipping.phtml (in my new theme folder, but according to the original folder structure). Was that right ? Maybe some adjustments would have been necessary for available.phtml?

Shipping country is enabled.

Does anyone have come any further with this problem?

Hi,

I have tried to implement that hack but nothing happens, no errors and still have all the shipping options available with none checked.

anyone got any further with this?

Hi,

Just check for the free shipping carrier

in template\checkout\onepage\shipping_method\available.phtml

before:

after:

Than break the loops at the right points:

before:

You will have to replace freeshipping with your carrier name

It’s a bit confusing to let the customer choose between free shipping and another shipping method.

portalzine thank you very much for your solution but… will be the file overwritten when an update is done?

Will be nice to have this solved in 1.1.4. 

Best regards.

this works great and nice howto! must be implement into 1.1.4!

Hi,

Just check for the free shipping carrier

in template\checkout\onepage\shipping_method\available.phtml

before:

<dt><?php echo $this->getCarrierName($code) ?></dt>

after:

<dt><?php $carrier =$this->getCarrierName($code) ; echo $carrier ?></dt>

Than break the loops at the right points:

before:

<?php endif ?>
                </li>                
            <?php endforeach; ?>

after:

<?php endif ?>
                </li>
                <?php if( $carrier == 'freeshipping'){break;}?>
            <?php endforeach; ?>

before:

</ul>
        </dd>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

after:

</ul>
        </dd>
        <?php if( $carrier == 'freeshipping'){break;}?>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

You will have to replace freeshipping with your carrier name

Alexander

can this be fixed in core, for the upcoming releases?

just because this fix doesn’t work for me as it is…

and having both free and paid shipping options on the cart is just dumb…

Thanks Portalzine, your adjustments worked perfectly fine!!

Thanks

Im trying to do a similar thing. Except - break if any of the rates is 0. But it still shows other shipping methods when Free Shipping is first.
Inserted a line at the end (commented “Inserted this Line")
