TOPIC:

Hell.

I would like to apply the fallowing rule for my cart:

for any country: one item will cost 5, 2 will cost 8, three will cost 13, and any additional item will cost 3 more.

For this, I have used the fallowing configuration:

for all countries (selected all in the correct field), apply these rules:

Name=One item; Amount==1; ShippingWithTax=5
Name=Two items; Amount==2; ShippingWithTax=8
Name=Three items; Amount==3; ShippingWithTax=10
Name=Four items or more; Amount=>4; ShippingWithTax=1+Amount*3


Now, The rule is not available in the cart. I have Published it, and applied it to ALL shopper groups.

So, to my questions:
1. As far as I can understand, in order to apply condition number 4 I need the advanced plugin. Is that true?
2. Why isnt my condition working, even after I changed condition 4 to:

Name=Four items or more; Amount=>4; ShippingWithTax=20

For testing?

I have also tried to use the Shipping vatiable, instead of the ShippingWithTax variable - to no avail.

Thank you very much for any help,

Please note that "Amount" is the variable with the money amount of the order. What you really want is the "Articles" variable:

Now, The rule is not available in the cart.

It is. It just doesn't match the order, because your order probably didn't have an amount of 1$, 2$ or 3$. If you switch to using the correct "Articles" variable, it will work.

So, to my questions:
1. As far as I can understand, in order to apply condition number 4 I need the advanced plugin. Is that true?

Yes, the calculation of "1+Articles*3" is only implemented in the advanced plugin. You can, of course, list arbitrary many rules for 4, 5, 6, 7, .. articles in the basic plugin.

2. Why isnt my condition working, even after I changed condition 4 to:

Name=Four items or more; Amount=>4; ShippingWithTax=20

Because you condition on the order (money) amount and not on the number of articles...

I hope this fixes your issue.

I have since fount that I need yo use the Articles variable, and not the Ammount, as the Ammount is the COST of the order and not the NUMBER OF ITEMS.

How ever, my new rule doesn't work:

Name=One item; Articles==1; 5
Name=Two items; Articles==2; 8
Name=Three items; Articles==3; 10
Name=Four items or more; Articles=>4; 20

I do not use the complex rule for 4 and over because I use the free plugin for the testing. Is this the reason why it doesn't work?

What exactly doesn't work?
The rules look just fine to me.

You can try your rules at demo.kainhofer.com/ with both the basic and the advanced plugin versions installed. If you can reproduce the problem there, I can easier determine what might be the issue here.

Firstly, I thank you for the amazingly fast response!

I set the corrected condition in the demo - and it worked. But, it did not work on my site :[

The shipping method settings are exactly the same on both demo and the live site (the plugin settings).

Other "normal" shipping types work. But the plugin shipment is not available for my cart at the moment.

I use this rule:

for all areas,

---

Name=One item; Articles==1; shipping=5
Name=Two items; Articles==2; shipping=8
Name=Three items; Articles==3; shipping=10
Name=Four items or more; Articles=>4; shipping=20

---

also tried (for testing):

---

Name=One item; Articles==1; 5
Name=Two items; Articles==2; 8
Name=Three items; Articles==3; 10

---

Can provide admin access, if you want.

Once again thank you for your help!

*I am using the virtuemart plugin discount by quantity. If it is relevant.

Problem solved.

The problem was that I set the shipment to all areas, instead of leaving black. So method was unavailable, untill the user fills in an address.

Will buy your awesome product :]

Problem solved.
