I thought "return false" disable the display of that shipping method but no, it's still displayed.

Best regards, Lora")* Hi, In the onShippingDisplay method, you need to move all the valid shipping methods in the $dbrates array to the $usables_rates array. So it's not about returning something, but about having a foreach on the $dbrates and checking each shipping method to add it to the usable_rates array or not.

I looked at other shipping methodes plugins and there are too many lines that I don't think i need to keep. Then, concerning the need to check whether or not a custom field from customer is filled, what variable should i change in order to enable/disable this shipping method ?

Best regards, Lora")* Hello Nicolas, Mohamed Thelji, javierymirna Thank you for your informations, I managed to do this with your help. Here is what I've done : **" If a field is filled, then I can create an entry for that shipping method and its related rates/limits"** Code: class plgHikaShopshippingMyfedex extends hikashopShippingPlugin { var $multiple = true; var $name = 'myfedex'; var $doc_form = 'myfedex'; function onShippingDisplay(&$order,&$dbrates,&$usable_rates,&$messages){ if(!hikashop_loadUser()) return false; $local_usable_rates = array(); $local_messages = array(); $ret = parent::onShippingDisplay($order, $dbrates, $local_usable_rates, $local_messages); if($ret === false) return false; //dumpTrace(); //dumpTemplate($this); //dump($order, 'ORDER'); //dump($dbrates, 'DBRATES'); //dump($usable_rates, 'USABLE RATES BEFORE'); //dump($local_usable_rates, 'LOCAL USABLE RATES'); //dump($order->billing_address->adress_fedexaccount, 'address fedex account'); if (trim($order->billing_address->adress_fedexaccount) != '') { foreach ($local_usable_rates as $i => $rate) { //load your custom field and check its value $usable_rates[$rate->shipping_id] = $rate; } } //dump($usable_rates, 'USABLE RATES AFTER'); } } - Install JDump is very usefull to understand how variables simple or complex are filled. - I understood that $usable_rates is an array that contains an array of shipping limits/rates, and you can deal with to add the limits/rates for that shipping_id. - $dbrates are the shipping methods available. Anway, this works at 95%. Here is my test case : - I have a customer with 2 billing addresses. One has the feded field filled, the other not. When I change billing address, Hikashop does not enter onShippingDisplay(). I believe another function is used. BUT it's a very rare test case and can be managed offline. To hikashop : is this normal ? should it be a bug or not ? Thank you Last edit: 12 years 8 months ago by [lora](/forum/user/31303-lora "View lora's Profile").

When you edit an address via the popup or AJAX process, the call to that method is done direclty in the frame of the popup before closing or with the AJAX request, and thus, in such cases, you won't see your traces on the checkout page.

I believe it is called if the restrictions are affected, but in my case, as it is not a "restriction" (in the way Hikashop has implemented in the shipping methods), the onShippingDisplay method is not called. Anyway, for my needs, it could generate a few manual action on the management side, but not enough to code more precise code. So That's okay.
