TOPIC:

I bought Advanced Shipping by Rules" for VirtueMart 2
and I set the shipping rules by weight.
weight<3000; Shipping=22.32
weight<=10000; Shipping=30.92
weight<=20000; Shipping=43.20
weight<=30000; Shipping=85.45

I want to define in specific products and specific categories the shipping cost to be free.
The example shows ( "product-a" in SKUs; Shipping=0) Or (Categories==list(1234); Shipping=0)
but I can not merge them to one
You can help how to write the rule;
Thanks.

Hello,
Do you want free shipping for the whole order if "product-a" is in the order (and potentially other articles), or if ONLY "product-a" is in the order?
As similar question goes for your categories restriction.

If you want to give free shipping if at least one article of "product-a" or category 1234 is in the order, then the rule (to be placed above your other rules) would be:
If you want to give free shipping only if ALL articles in the order are either product-a or from category 1234, then things are a bit more complicated. Basically, the rule would count how many items of product A and how many items of category 1234 are ordered and compare this with the total number of articles (assuming that product A does NOT have category 1234 assigned):
If product A is in category 1234, too, then things get much easier (because then there is no additional condition on product A, just for category 1234).

Best regards,
Reinhold

PS: I should add that the evaluate_for_categories and evaluate_for_skus functions are available only in the BETA test version 4.99 of the plugin, not in earlier versions...

I had version 4.3. I have downloaded version 5.1. Due to I have not found any "Update" option I have installed version 5.1. How do I know that version 4.3 has been overridden by 5.1?

In addition to this, what I would like to do is that products from 2 specific categories had shippment 0€. The shipment costs are based on product weight. So, if the client buys 3 products and one of them is from one of the 2 categories the plugin must consider the weight of the 2 products which do not belong to that category and consider the shipment cost for that category 0€. For example:
Product A : 1kg
Product B: 1Kg
Product c: 1Kg and belongs to a special category

The plugin must consider then: Product A (1kg) + Product B (1Kg) : 2Kg total weight to consider for shipment costs. Product C has nos shipment cost.

Which is the rule that I should apply? I was trying with:

Name=de 0 a 2Kg; 0<Weight-evaluate_for_categories(Weight, 1234, 5678)<=2; 08000<=ZIP<08999; shipping=4.5

Thank you in advanced,

In the Joomla plugin manager you can see the versions of each installed plugin.

That rule looks good. I would probably write it the same way.
Do you have any problems with it?
