Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

[Jeffey]

Dude!!!

It is there I just expected it a step before where it shows, color me embarrassed! To bleary last night to even catch it when I was at that page in the check out process.

Sorry for wasting your time though I really needed the mandatory mod so it wasn't a total waste.

It looks like the simple things are tripping me up as I've gotten a little (very) better at putting stuff together.

Got the book and getting better at hunting down the often elusive solutions already posted but gotta remember the basics!

Thanks so much for your time.

Lets see, how can I delete a forum thread...........

Mandatory mod worked like a charm! Thanks again. I'm almost to the cosmetic only point with only a few more functionality issues to go.

Now I'll try and get this to work in my override folders though I guess theoretically they wont get overwritten anyway due to their unique names.

Just in case keeping good records of mods along with their files with copious notes so I don't blow it up next upgrade!

Trying to get the insurance to work reasonably well for both USPS and UPS rates since I use UPS in the U.S. and USPS to other countries.

USPS with rate chart selected works great of course but then UPS rate is significantly higher than actual UPS rates because they are using USPS higher insurance rates.

I've been working with percentages to get them both to be at least close to actual cost but when I use percentage I get this message on checkout step 3:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for zen_add_tax() in ../zencart/includes/functions/functions_taxes.php on line 94

Line 94 reads (along with comment above):
////
// Add tax to a products price based on whether we are displaying tax "in" the price
function zen_add_tax($price, $tax) {

However, tax appears to be adding correctly, or not showing as it should in every place but my state but message always shows regardless.

Anyone run across this before or figured out a way to have the module work for both USPS and UPS depending on option provided at checkout?

In my case shipping method happens automatically based on U.S./non-U.S. and no choice is given.

Thanks.

By the way, it appears to only happen with percentage chosen as calculation method.

I'll look into this. :-)

Thanks.....again.

I guess most people pick one shipper or another and never have an issue.

I'll stay tuned.

Is there a way to have the Shipping Insurance Module show on the Shipping Information page instead of the Payment Information page? It makes more sense for my store. Thanks!

Sorry, no, as far as I've designed it, by modifying previous options, that's the way it works. If I could, I would!

Thanks for the quick reply. I was trying to use it for another purpose. I want to add two options to the shipping page. One option to require a signature to receive the shipment and another option to have Saturday delivery. Each option would have a cost to it that would be added to the order total. The module works great for its intended purpose. I will keep looking for another way. Thanks!

The Insurance module does not show the additional amount the customer has to pay, (I use Zone Rate Shipping Fee)

My setting: (I also include a screenshot)

.5

Increment Amount
For each how many dollars, ie. the increment amount, of the total(e.g. 100 here and .50 for the rate above would mean 50 cents fee for every 100 of the amount to be insured).


Amount Exempt From Fee
(Works for Increment Amounts only) Set this to the part of the total that is exempt from the Shipping Insurance. UPS insures the first $100 for free, so I set mine to 100. 0 is ok if none of the total is exempt.
