Firt off, thank you so much for helping. I really appreciate it.
I’ve tried the code but when I paste it into my editor, it doesn’t seem right (i.e. where you have blue for select statement etc mine just pastes in black (its usually red)).
When I then try to load the page in the site, I get “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxx/xx/xx/classes/ps_checkout.php on line 60″

Thanks again for your help.

$db = new ps_DB;

$q = ‘SELECT shopper_group_freeshipping from #__{vm}_shopper_vendor_xref xref
inner join #__{vm}_shopper_group shopper on xref.shopper_group_id = shopper.shopper_group_id
where xref.user_id = ‘ . $_SESSION['auth']["user_id"];

$db->query($q);
$db->next_record();
$free_shoppergroup_shipping = $db->f(‘shopper_group_freeshipping’) == 1;

$q = “SELECT country from #__{vm}_user_info WHERE user_info_id = ‘” . $vars["ship_to_info_id"] . “‘”;
$db->query($q);

if(($vendor_freeshipping > 0 && $vars['order_subtotal_withtax'] >= $vendor_freeshipping && $db->f(“country”) == “GBR”) || $free_shoppergroup_shipping) {
$PSHOP_SHIPPING_MODULES = Array( “free_shipping” );
include_once( CLASSPATH. “shipping/free_shipping.php” );
$this->_SHIPPING = new free_shipping();
}
elseif( !empty( $_REQUEST['shipping_rate_id'] )) {

Many thanks for any help you can give.

My existing code:
$db = new ps_DB;
$q = “SELECT country from #__{vm}_user_info WHERE user_info_id = ‘” . $vars["ship_to_info_id"] . “‘”;
$db->query($q);

if( $vendor_freeshipping > 0 && $vars['order_subtotal_withtax'] >= $vendor_freeshipping && $db->f(“country”) == “GBR”) {
$PSHOP_SHIPPING_MODULES = Array( “free_shipping” );
include_once( CLASSPATH. “shipping/free_shipping.php” );
$this->_SHIPPING = new free_shipping();
}
elseif( !empty( $_REQUEST['shipping_rate_id'] )) {

@calin I have not done anything to add the checkbox. We have just been modifying the table as needed.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

in this line of the hack, I changed this:
//original line at 63
if(($vendor_freeshipping > 0 && $vars['order_subtotal_withtax'] >= $vendor_freeshipping) || $free_shoppergroup_shipping) {

to this:
//original line at 63
if(($vendor_freeshipping > 0 && $vars['order_subtotal_withtax'] >= $vendor_freeshipping) && $db->f(‘shopper_group_freeshipping’) == “1″) {

Seems to be working well for me

I do have a question. It doesn’t seem to work if you have a value set in the “edit store” section of the backend. I have free shipping available for orders over $50.

I would still like to offer that but not to distributors. Is there a way to tweak your code above to allow for that?

Currently, if you have a value set for”minimum amount for free shipping” it overrides the shopper_group_freeshipping setting in the DB and still allows for Free Shipping on orders over $50.

Thanks!!
