Cheapest Carrier not chosen in cart

[ZangZang]

Hi,

 

I cant get the cheapest carrier to display at the shoppingcart, instead is takes the most expensive one. Only when I checkout with adress, name etc I got all the alternatives.

 

prereq:

- Carrier A (cheapest at 0-2kg, max 2kg), activated

- Carrier B (most expensive all ranges, max 100kg), activated

- Default carrier: Best price

- Both carriers assigned to the test product.

- Adding the product as visitor(non logged in)

 

Someone got a clue?

 

Thanks!

Zang

Is the cheapest one active for visitors? If it is already, you can try with a small trick: disable the expensive one for the visitor group, it will be forced to pick up the other

The problem is if I do that then the countries that exits only in the expensive one will got no carrier.

I'm not very well versed in PHP and prestashop, but are there a function that returns all available carriers with specfic zone_id as input parameter?

 

I could then "getDeliveryPriceByWeight" to achieve what I need.

I found some useful stuff but not sure if this is used correctly:

 

in Cart.php in function getPackageShippingCost:

 

$result = Carrier::getCarriers((int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'), true, false, (int)$id_zone);

 

foreach($result as $x)

{

    echo "<script>alert('". $x->name ."')</script>"; //<----- name is empty!!!

}

 

Cant seem to get any carriers...

Check result first: var_dump($result)
