Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...

**mvstudio** · 24 Jun 2011, 04:06 PM

Has anyone any idea why "Amount Exempt From Fee" is not working? I have it setup to $200 and the shipping insurance box still shows on checkout pages. Isn't this suppose to remove the shipping insurance box as it assumes the package is already insured?

Breaking my head trying to make this work

What's the solution to this?
Thanks

i would rather it be blank.

otherwise a customer who overlooked the option to select shipping insurance and sees on his confirmation page shipping insurance: $0.00 - he will think that he is getting the service for free.

all other modules that i installed (e.g. gift wrap, etc) they only show up on the order confirmation page if the option is selected.

I'm going to look at using the same theory that in post# 315 to accomplish this. I am also looking at making this compatible with Marco's USPS module, so it may take me a little while....

As an FYI I have tested this mod with Marco's USPS module, all works well if you have the settings correct.
If you used this method to hide the optional insurance when UPS is selected:

Code:

if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_EXPRESS'
  && $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PRIORITY'
  && $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PARCEL'
  && !IS_ADMIN_FLAG)

You need to change it to this: (if you are using upsxml)

Code:

if (($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'free_free')
 || ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Ground')
 || ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS 3 Day Select')
 || ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS 2nd Day Air')
 || ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Next Day Air Saver')
 || ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Next Day Air'))

If you need to hide the Opt. Ins for other shipping modules PM me and I'll help you with that if I can....

Thanks to Mikestaps I was confident installing this on zen 1.3.9h. It works beautifully on my site with the standard zen cart usps shipping.

It did take me a long time to get this module working. Although it was probably my error, it should be clarified that you MUST use the SQL included to use the table rate, international or otherwise.

I noticed the included table rates were outdated, so here is the most current information for those wanting to use it.

50:1.80,100:2.30,200:2.85,300:4.75,400:5.80,500:6.85,600:7.90,700:8.95

Anything over $700.00 value you will want to add yourself.

I've got the shipping insurance module enable and all of the settings appear correct but the shipping insurance entry never appears in the order total when checking out at all. What would be causing it to not show up at all and not effect the order total at all?

Make sure you have zones set up and selected in the table rates, even if you are not using the table rates...

Thanks a million mikestap, that totally fixed it.

I wasn't using zones at all so I didn't have any set up. I created an "Everywhere" zone and assigned shipping insurance to it and now it shows up fine.

Hi,
Could you kindly elabrate on which file to edit so that when optional insurance is not selected, it will not show up in the order total as $0.0. Your advise is very much appreciated.
