Hi

we wish to offer our members free shipping on all products and have our non-members pay a flat shipping rate. Is there a way to configure shipping to only apply to non-registered users?

Thanks

Beck

Hi,

That's not possible directly with the options in HikaShop.

However, you can edit the file plugins/hikashopshipping/manual.php and replace the code

$rates[]=$rate;

by the code

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
    				if(!$user->guest){
    					$rate->shipping_price = 0;
    				}
    				$rates[]=$rate;

to achieve it.
Please note that this modification will be removed if you update hikashop. You can either reapply it each time you update or make a copy of the manual shipping plugin and make the modification in that copy.

What are the return value of getUser() and how do they relate to the user group? I would like this same function, but users with Back-end access of Manager. I will be using HikaShop when we are selling books at events and one of my employees will be entering the information. Since they are present there is no shipping, but I don't people to be able to choose it when buying online. (Other suggestions for implementation would be appreciated.)

Cheers,
Todd
