eCart6 session variable for shipping

Hi Jason,

I have a shipping fee setup to only apply if the order is shipped outside the US. In the Shipping Rule it is set as Based on the session variable "CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default" != US

That still shows shipping if I select US as the country.

On a previous version of eCart I used the if session variable "eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_country" has a value "!=" to "US" but that does not work on version 6.

What am I missing?

thx!
Eric

lets double check what session are getting set, sounds like you don't have the right session variable name.

on the confirm_cart page add the following code just before the </body tag:

<pre><?php @session_start(); var_dump($_SESSION); ?></pre>

that will dump a listing of the sessions that are set, we can use that to find the right one to use for the shipping country name

Thanks Jason. Here is the dump:
array(7) {
["WAENCRYPTEDRETURNUSED"]=>
&bool(false)
["WAENCRYPTEDRETURNSUCCESS"]=>

["WAEC_ContinueRedirect"]=>
&string(28) "/beta/store.php?prodcateid=1"
}

looks like you haven't filled in the checkout form yet, none of the checkout form elements are int he session.

please provide a link

}

ok, so the session is:
$_SESSION['WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default']['Country_2']


your rule should be:
Based on Session variable 'WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default' is set

AND Custom Expression:
$_SESSION['WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default']['Country_2'] != 'US'

Perfect!

Thanks Jason!!

you're welcome.

Jason, one more question...

I don't want any shipping charge to show until they enter the shipping address. Right now the $10 rate shows as the default until US is selected as the shipping country. How would I do that?

thx
Eric

how are your shipping rules defined?
