I must change shipping method before saving order if (condition) is true, and don't change it if false. I tried out function checkout_type_onepage_save_order($observer).
$checkout = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/type_onepage');
$checkout->saveShippingMethod('freeshipping_freeshipping');
but it doesn't work.
Sorry for my English.
Thanks.
I have had problems with things not saving properly in checkout, e.g. shipping address. I think you have to save the quote object again, but I cannot remember for sure.
However, why don't you write your own shipping module? This is the place for doing it properly and within your own module you can put together all the rules you need to set the price to what it needs to be, plus the frontend label, e.g. 'Free!' if a zero price is calculated.
Here is a tutorial that has worked very well for me in the past:

My problem is that i made ZIP Code optional, but now, if i write any number in the box, shipping methods are dissapearing .
i can write everything in the One Page Checkout, but when i get to zip code (which is optional now), and i write something, shipping methods dissaper and i try to finish order, i get
Your order cannot be completed at this time as there is no shipping
methods available for it. Please make necessary changes in your
shipping address.
If anyone knows how to solve this, thank you
I'm developing a script (external to Magento, not a module) which aims to output a text list of all available products, their prices and some other attributes. However, catalog price rules don't seem to be applied to product prices. If I use any of the following:
$_product->getPrice()
$_product->getFinalPrice()
I get the normal price (without rules being applied).
If I use:
$_product->getSpecialPrice()
I get null unless the product actually has a special price inserted in the product itself (i.e. if special price is not related with catalog rules).
I also tried
Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule')->calcProductPriceRule($product,$product->getPrice())
as suggested in the answer given by Fabian Blechschmidt, but interestingly it returns the normal price only if the product is affected by any catalog rule, returning null otherwise.
There was a similar question in StackOverflow and Magento Forums some time ago, but the provided answer (which is to insert the code bellow) doesn't work for me (returned prices remain the same).
Mage::app()->loadAreaPart(Mage_Core_Model_App_Area::AREA_FRONTEND,Mage_Core_Model_App_Area::PART_EVENTS);
Does anybody have an idea of how to achieve this?
I'm using Magento 1.6.2.0.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to you, I found a new site:
http://www.catgento.com/magento-useful-functions-cheatsheet/
And they mentioned:
Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule')->calcProductPriceRule($product,$product->getPrice())
HTH
As catalog price rules heavily depend on time, store and visiting customer, you need to set those parameters when you want to retrieve the product final price with it's price rules applied.
So, in your case, make sure that provided product is passed with the desired store and customer group id, which can be set as:
Mage::getModel('catalogrule/rule')->calcProductPriceRule($product->setStoreId('STORE_ID')->setCustomerGroupId('CUSTOMER_GROUP_ID'),$product->getPrice())
I discovered the problem. The discounted prices display Ok in the store frontend. The problem was that I was developing a script "external" to Magento (thus not a Magento module), something like:
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort();
error_reporting(E_ALL^E_NOTICE);
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");
require_once "app/Mage.php";
// Get default store code
$default_store = Mage::app()->getStore();
...
For everything to work properly it seems that one must follow the proper Magento bootstrap, and develop everything as a module. My script was so simple that I thought it wouldn't be necessary to code a complete module. In other words, everything in Magento should really be a module.
Concluding, using the module approach, all the methods work as expected:
$_product->getPrice()
$_product->getFinalPrice()
$_product->getSpecialPrice()
Thank you all for your input.
This helped me in this issue: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/176883/
. Jernej's solution seems plausible, but it does not handle rules that Overwrite other rules by using 'stop processing' and therefore can apply more than one rule.
$original_price = $_product->getPrice();
$store_id = 1; // Use the default store
$discounted_price = Mage::getResourceModel('catalogrule/rule')->getRulePrice(
Mage::app()->getLocale()->storeTimeStamp($store_id),
Mage::app()->getStore($store_id)->getWebsiteId(),
Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId(),
$_product->getId());
// if the product isn't discounted then default back to the original price
if ($discounted_price===false) {
$discounted_price=$original_price;
}
I activated flat shipping in the shipping options and whenever you do checkout it says “Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time.”Any one please help me since i am a beginner in magento.
EDIT
I have tried other shipping methods too its also showing the same. we have upgraded Magento ver. 1.4.1.1 to magento 1.7. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
EDIT 2
After upgrading community folder contains only Phoenix folder. After that i added Biebersdorffolder by seeing an error in checkout page. I don't the the purpose of folders AW and RocketWeb. Since i am not familiar with magento.
If the image is not visible i have added the image in this url

do you have any Checkout files modified on your project? Or maybe custom checkout.
I will list the code locations you need to check to make sure your Shipping works correctly.
So to begin with: Magento has very special work process with Shipping rates - it's called "collectRates" and is some modification of pattern "composite".
To make sure that everything works correctly on the code basis you need to first check the Onepage.php model (app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Model/Type/Onepage.php): lines 330, 341, 556, 616; There should be code
{address}->setCollectShippingRates(true)
where {address} is current address variable.
This code is significant for future "collectRates" processes, because just when the Onepage Checkout page is initializing the "collectRates" process has already been processed, and the flag "collect_shipping_rates" is set to "false". If it's not set back to true, the next "collectRates" process will not be performed.
After you check the location above, and it still doesn't work - you might want to add some logging to Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method_Available::getShippingRates method. If method is properly executed and return some rates from $this->getAddress()->getGroupedAllShippingRates() call, there might be some issues with .phtml template on your locan theme (default path to .phtml is app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/shipping_method/available.phtml).
Here's how you can log the outcome from $this->getAddress()->getGroupedAllShippingRates() call (Mage_Checkout_Block_Onepage_Shipping_Method_Available::getShippingRates method):
$groups = $this->getAddress()->getGroupedAllShippingRates();
$printGroupes = array();
foreach ($groups as $code => $groupItems) {
foreach ($groupItems as $item) {
$printGroupes[$code][] = $item->getData();
}
}
Mage::log($printGroupes, null,'special.log');
Please note, that the result array with all rates will be logged into "special.log" under var/logs folder.
I wish I could be more of help, but the issue requires some digging into code, the debugger will be even more helpful than logging, if you can get hold of one.
Cheers!
Price should be entered for Flat Rate shipping to work
The problem might be of the country selection
Ship to applicable countries is set to "Specific Country" and you selected "Canada".
So you will see this shipping method only if you select Canada on the frontend during the checkout.
Or
You can make this to All Countries and check whether its working or not.
I've had a look at available Virtuemart plugins and I can't find anything close to what I am after. This is what I need.
Allow admin user to create coupon codes. An import feature would be nice as there will be thousands but I can handle this bit if needed anyway.
The admin user selects the number of products the customer is allowed for each coupon code.
When the customer uses the coupon code they are allowed to choose any product on the website up to the total amount of products issued to the coupon. Regardless of the products price.
Nice extra would be to allow free shipping with the coupon.
I've looked at the possibility of extending virtuemart and I think it would be possible. It would however require quite a lot of changes and if I can find something that is halfway there it would help me on my way.
Thanks in advance.
OK well time was running out and I didn't get an answer so I rolled my own. It was actually fairly painless. I can't release the code but I can give you a good idea of the steps and a direction to go in.
extend vm_ps_coupon and override the update, add and process methods. Add and update should only require a change to the array that is sent to the DB. See here for more info on extending classes
Alter the enum in the database to allow for quantity as well as total and percent.
Within your new update method handle the variation of quantity to do as you need.
In the update method you can also set a flag for free shipping in a session variable.
In templates/checkout edit list_shipping_methods.php. Simply check for the free shipping flag and load the free_shipping class. You can then call free_shipping->list_rates($vars);
extend vm_ps_checkout, override the add method, call the parent add method and then check the result so you can delete the session variable for the free shipping.
Finally you will need to make some changes in the HTML. Unfortunatly i could not find a way to override this easily and since its only two small changes to the markup i just went ahead and hacked the core. If anyone knows of another way that would be great? I did see something online about using a Joomla hook and a System plugin but I'd rather keep it reliant on Virtuemart only.
In administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/ edit coupon.coupon_form.php to show the new quantity radio button.
Then edit coupon.coupon_list.php to display the correct values. Currently it will only display percent and total.
Hope this helps someone in the future. If you need some assistance then post on here and I'll be happy to help.
I want to get the name of the shipping method the user has chosen during checkout. Does anyone know how to retrieve that info?
This will get it to some extent but it is cached:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingDescription();
When I am on the onestep checkout and I go back to the shipping tab and change the shipping, it is still holding the old shipping method. I need to figure out how to get the current one.
Foreword
Constructed from Magento app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Shipping/Method/Available.php and others:
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/shipping_method/available.phtml uses this code to determine which shipping method was selected:
$this->getAddressShippingMethod()
app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Onepage/Shipping/Method/Available.php expands that code to this:
return $this->getAddress()->getShippingMethod();
Let's research a bit and expand it even deeper:
$this->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();
Parent block expands method getQuote():
return $this->getCheckout()->getQuote();
And deeper:
public function getChechout() {
return Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session');
}
Merging all that code gives us this:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod()
That gives you the shipping method code. Giving that, you could manipulate it just as you wish. This data is stored within the database, so when you change shipping method, the code changes too.
Getting deeper and deeper!
If you've ever created your own shipping method, you'd know, that it has the method called collectRates().
It fills a set of shipping/rate_result_method models, stores it within the instance of shipping/rate_result model and returns it (you can get each model' instance using Mage::getModel(<model i've named>); ).
Yet, note: one could contain multiple rate_result_method instances, while the shipping method code is the same for all those instances!
Thus, in order to get the description, you need to get one of the rate_result_method instances and retrieve its methodTitle or carrierTitle.
After a small researching i've found how to retrieve all these rates:
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->getShippingRatesCollection()
This will provide you with a collection of all rates for the selected shipping method. You can operate it with getItems() and get a hash. Or you could use getFirstItem() and use it as the template.
Anyway, let's assume u've retrieved some item of that collection and stored it within the $rate variable:
$rate->getCarrier(); // This will provide you with the carrier code
$rate->getCarrierTitle(); // This will give you the carrier title
$rate->getCode(); // This will give you **current shipping method** code
$rate->getMethod(); // This will provide you with the **shipping method** code
$rate->getMethodTitle(); // This will tell you current shipping method title
$rate->getMethodDescription(); // And this is the description of the current shipping method and **it could be NULL**
That's all, folks!
I am really sorry for my poor English and for my strange mind flow. Hope this will help you or someone else. Thanks!
Just in case you need it still. You can get shipping method from order by:
$order->getShippingMethod();
Of course how you get your $order depends on context.
Also you can get description by:
$order->getShippingDescription();
shipping method in magento
$methods = Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getActiveCarriers();
$options = array();
foreach($methods as $_code => $_method)
{
if(!$_title = Mage::getStoreConfig("carriers/$_code/title"))
$_title = $_code;
$options[] = array('value' => $_code, 'label' => $_title . " ($_code)");
}
echo "<xmp>";
print_r($options);
echo "</xmp>";
In your checkout controller you need to add extra steps to save your quote if you want this information to be accessible to you.
I added a few '$quote->save();' entries to get this to work, however, I cannot definitively say which entry is the one that did the fix. I also cannot find the link on Magento forums, however, I hope I have given you a head start on what is going on.
You could override the saveShippingMethodAction() function in the Mage_Checkout_OnepageController, or extend upon it, and save the method into the registry by inserting:
Mage::register('blahShippingMethod', $this->getRequest()->getPost('shipping_method'));
and call upon it as you need it: Mage::registry('blahShippingMethod');
Don't forget to unset it when you no longer need it as you will run into an error if you try to reset when it's already been set.
Mage::unregister('blahShippingMethod');
