Dropshipping

Re: Dropshipping

I think I'm putting the "existing code" in the wrong place. If I use the code I mentioned above, when I am not logged in - no shipping rates display at all. Since the snippet has NE (not equal) shouldn't the existing methods be placed before the <mvt:else>?

Re: Dropshipping

Take out the <mvt:else>

Re: Dropshipping

Okay - I took out the <mvt:else> and the shipping methods show and so does the drop ship...think I'll revisit this in the morning...

Re: Dropshipping

When I take out the <mvt:else> the Drop Shipping rate shows up as one of the shipping methods - it's not picking up the restrictions from

<mvt:if expr="(l.settings:method:code NE 'Wholesale Shipping') OR (l.settings:method:code NE 'Drop Shipping')">

So I went to look and see what the shipping method actually "looks" like when generated

<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Drop Shipping" type="radio"> Drop Shipping ($10.00)

So my question is, do I change 'Drop Shipping' to 'flatrate:Drop Shipping'?

Re: Dropshipping

FYI - here is the complete code that I am trying to use:

<mvt:comment> Price Group Conditional </mvt:comment>
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="pgroup|pcount" />
<mvt:if expr="g.pcount GT 0">
<mvt:foreach iterator="customer_pgroup" array="customer_pgroups">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Wholesale'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|whole|1" />


<mvt:elseif expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Dropship'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|drop|1" />
</mvt:if>


</mvt:foreach>
</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="g.whole EQ 1"> 
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Wholesale Shipping" type="radio"> Wholesale Shipping ($18.00)<br>
<mvt:elseif expr="g.drop EQ 1">
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Drop Shipping" type="radio"> Drop Shipping ($10.00)<br>
<mvt:else>

                        <mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:shippingmethods">
                <mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:fallbackshippingmethod">
                                    Unable to Calculate Shipping Costs
                                <mvt:else>
                                    &mvt:fallbackshippingmethod:name; (&mvt:fallbackshippingmethod:formatted_price;)
              </mvt:if>
            <mvt:else>
                <mvt:foreach array="shippingmethods" iterator="method">
<mvt:if expr="(l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Wholesale Shipping') OR (l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Drop Shipping')">
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL g.ShippingMethod AND pos1 EQ 1">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />

<mvt:else>
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
            
</mvt:if>
            </mvt:if>
                    </div>
                    <mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:shippingmethods">
                        <span class="bold">No valid shipping methods are available for your order.  You will be contacted regarding shipping when your order is processed.</span>
                    </mvt:if>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Re: Dropshipping

You list the two based on price group status before the foreach even begins.

Then in the foreach loop you list only those methods which are not wholesale or drop.

shippingmethod:code does not include the word "flatrate"

[lesliekirk]

Re: Dropshipping

So I have to manually create the list of all of the shipping methods? I can no longer use the dynamic coding?

Re: Dropshipping

No. Just the first two. Then the foreach loop evaluates all methods and displays eligible. The conditional is that if they are drop or wholesale, don't even both showing those because they were displayed before the foreach loop if the customer was eligible.

Re: Dropshipping

Okay - I am beyond confused now. The code before I changed it seemed to be as you have described, but it is still displaying the Drop Shipping rate if someone is not logged in along with all the other shipping methods.

Re: Dropshipping

Did you wrap the first two in a conditional that tests if the global variable drop or wholesale existed? That was the purpose of testing for price group. The testing for price group and display of the two methods is supposed to happen before the foreach loop even begins. Those are the flatrate methods those customers see so they never change for those two groups.

Re: Dropshipping

Well, I thought I did, but like I said, I'm so confused that's why I posted my code...

Re: Dropshipping

// see if customer is in PG
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="pgroup|pcount" />
<mvt:if expr="g.pcount GT 0">
<mvt:foreach iterator="customer_pgroup" array="customer_pgroups">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Wholesale'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|whole|1" />
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Dropship'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|drop|1" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
</mvt:if>

// assign method if in PG
<mvt:if expr="g.whole EQ 1"> 
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Wholesale Shipping" type="radio"> Wholesale Shipping ($18.00)<br>
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="g.drop EQ 1">
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Drop Shipping" type="radio"> Drop Shipping ($10.00)<br>
</mvt:if>

// test all the non-PG methods and display them
<mvt:foreach array="shippingmethods" iterator="method">
<mvt:if expr="(l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Wholesale Shipping') OR (l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Drop Shipping')">
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL g.ShippingMethod AND pos1 EQ 1">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:elseif expr="g.ShippingMethod EQ (l.settings:method:module $ : $ l.settings:method:code)">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:else>
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
            
// PG customer sees all methods but their special methods are first
// non-PG customer only sees the non=PG methods

There is also a bit of logic that you could use to force their PG method to be checked on initial start. In either event, they would still show as first in the list of radio choices; selected or not.

Re: Dropshipping

That's what I've got except, I've also got the Unable to Calculate in mine.

 <mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:fallbackshippingmethod">
                                    Unable to Calculate Shipping Costs
                                <mvt:else>
                                    &mvt:fallbackshippingmethod:name; (&mvt:fallbackshippingmethod:formatted_price;)
              </mvt:if>
            <mvt:else>

I'll try yours without the "Unable" portion.

Re: Dropshipping

You would add that in after you get the basics working.

Re: Dropshipping

I changed the code to this:

<!-- // see if customer is in PG -->
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="pgroup|pcount" />
<mvt:if expr="g.pcount GT 0">
<mvt:foreach iterator="customer_pgroup" array="customer_pgroups">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Wholesale'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|whole|1" />
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer_pgroup:name EQ 'Dropship'">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|drop|1" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
</mvt:if>

<!-- // assign method if in PG -->
<mvt:if expr="g.whole EQ 1">
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Wholesale Shipping" type="radio"> Wholesale Shipping ($18.00)<br>
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="g.drop EQ 1">
<input name="ShippingMethod" value="flatrate:Drop Shipping" type="radio"> Drop Shipping ($10.00)<br>
</mvt:if>

<!-- // test all the non-PG methods and display them -->
<mvt:foreach array="shippingmethods" iterator="method">
<mvt:if expr="(l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Wholesale Shipping') OR (l.settings:shippingmethod:code NE 'flatrate:Drop Shipping')">
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL g.ShippingMethod AND pos1 EQ 1">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:elseif expr="g.ShippingMethod EQ (l.settings:method:module $ : $ l.settings:method:code)">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:else>
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>

It's still displaying the Drop Shipping to non-price group customers (I even checked in another browser just in case I had some weird caching going on).
