Hi ,

I am experiencing this problem
VM 3,0,8 here

tried : Name=ACTION ; contains_any (Categories, 1); Weight>25; Shipping=0

it does not check the categories in the cart, but no error

now i tried

Name=ACTION ; Condition=contains_any(Categories,"freeshippingcat"); Weight>25; Shipping=0

an i receive the error
Evaluation yields unknown value while evaluating rule part 'contains_any(Categories,'.

on checkout


Wich rule should i use to get this to work?

Dear Ivo,
This messsage sounds as if you have selected the basic (free) Shipping by Rules shipment method type for your shipping method (on the first tab of the shipping method setup page). The free plugin lacks the code to interpret functions like contains_any, thus the error message. If you select the advanced plugin for you method, then the error message disappears.

Notice, however, that in Virtuemart the categories are identified only by their ID, not by their name (which is translated, so it might not even be unique and idential for different users). So you need to use your first attempt, together with the "Condition=".

Best regards,

Hi Reinhold,

So if i understand correctly , for this to work i have to :
-pay for the advanced plugin (is this 18,15 euro once or a year?)
-use : Name=ACTION ; condition=contains_any (Categories, 1); Weight>25; Shipping=0
(please correct if i made a error)

Thanks in advance !

Dear Ivo,
All calculations and all functions like contains_any are only available in the advanced version of the plugin, which costs a one-time 15€+taxes (unless you have a valid EU VAT ID).

The rule you give is syntactically correct. What it does is to give free shipping if at least one product from category 1 is bought (an possibly products from other categories) and the total weight is more than 25 (kg).

Best regards,
Reinhold
