X-Cart forums - hiding a shipping option based on user

in the smarty php file - shipping array, membershipid and shippingid are parameters. So it can go like this

PHP Code:


		
			
global $login, $smarty;



// get userid by login - there is a function for this already in func.user.php

// get user_membershipid by either login or userid from above by quering the customers info table(s)

// you can skip this is you pass $userinfo as parameter in the template but this is not available on all pages

// so better to just get it here



foreach ($shipping as $k => $v) {

    if (

        $v['shippingid'] == $shippingid

        && $user_membershipid == $membershipid

    ) {

        unset($shipping[$k]);

        break;

    );

}



// you need to check what is used as keys the $shipping array before running this as it will renumber them; if keys are the actual shippingids then don't run it

$shipping = array_values($shipping);

    

if ('assign parameter is passed use below line to reassign the $shipping array') {

    $smarty->asiign('shipping', $shipping);

    $shipping = '';

}

    

return $shipping;

You can also pass to this function multiple shipping ids and redo the foreach to match any; it can also be used for payment methods.

As for the shipping being used in multiple templates - not a problem - use the function call in home.tpl just after the <body> tag to reassign $shipping - that way there is no need to track down all templates this is being used in

{if $shipping}
function call here
{/if}
