Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Hi numinix, thank you for getting back at me.
Maybe I'm not putting the piece of code in the right place, but where I'm putting it is not working. The insurance is still coming up even through I have selected free shipping for orders of $200 or more. The shipping comes free in my shopping cart but the insurance still comes up.
Could you tell me where exactly I should place the piece of code??
Thank you.
Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
I just installed this module on Zen Cart 1.3.7.1 and it appears to work but it doesnt give the option for the insurance. it automatically adds it. How do I set it so that the user has to check a checkbox to opt in for the insurance.

You've set for insurance to be required for amounts over $100, therefore it is not optional.

Then I go into one of the files (english/modules/order_total/***.php) and change the jive about insurance to read "Check this for Delivery Confirmation..."
My point is people all over this board are looking for a way to charge a fee during checkout for an added service - be it gift wrapping (per product is too cumbersome for some) or what I included. There is one mod for such an add on but it didn't work for me, is unsupported and far too complicated.
Woo Hoo!

Hello Plumloopy,
Did you use this suggestion that you made? If so, do you think I could follow your suggestion of creating a Delivery Confirmation version of the .php file, in conjunction with using the mod as it was intended, so that we can:
1) charge a $0.75 Delivery Confirmation charge only for USPS Parcel Post (since it costs extra for this option), and
2) offer the option of adding shipping insurance to orders, and
3) make shipping insurance mandatory n orders over a certain amount?
Thanks in advance to Plumloopy and anyone else who can weigh in!

Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Great Mod, but it seems to be a bit wonky with how it is handling tax.
I am testing on a fresh install of 1.3.8a using 3.13 of this mod.
Instead of adding the tax to the tax line it adds it to it's self in the insurance line?
My tax rate is set at 9%. and Insurance is set at $5.00 and shipping is taxed.
Sub-Total: $110.00
Flat Rate (Best Way): $5.00
Shipping Insurance: $5.45
WA Sales Tax: $10.35
Total: $130.80
If I set Display Prices with Tax to true it adds the the tax to it's self twice.
Sub-Total: $110.00
Flat Rate (Best Way): $5.00
Shipping Insurance: $5.90
WA Sales Tax: $10.35
Total: $130.80
The math for the total is correct for either situation. $120.00 x .09 = $10.80 so the total $130.80 in either calculation is correct.
Thanks,
Jim
Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Comparing this module to the COD Fee module I see that it hasn't been scripted to display tax in the same way other order total modules do. No $order->info['tax_groups'][$tax_description] line is present so it appears to have gone rouge in the way it handles taxes.
I will look into re-scripting it to get working like the others unless someone wants to beat me to it. My PHP is just barely past....
PHP Code:

Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Wow three posts in a row.
So it I discovered version 3.15 (not currently in the downloads) which addresses how the mod handles tax but with a bug. Changing the tax class to none will still charge tax, not a problem for me but still a bug.
Version 3.13 and 3.15 do not work if Use Table Rates? is set to false unless you pick a zone. This would explain why the shipping insurance isn't showing up for some users. But it did not work when I created a zone for all countries and all zones and picked it.
When using the Alternate Insurance Type set to amount it is including the shipping cost in the calculation but it does not when the Alternate Insurance Type is set to percent.
Now this one is strange, when the Alternate Insurance Type set to amount not only does it include the shipping amount for calculating the insurance it adds the Increment Amount one more time than it should. This also does not occur when the Alternate Insurance Type is set to percent.
One other strange bug with version 3.13, while examining the Alternate Insurance Type set to amount issue, if I setup flat shipping for $0.00 we get some very strange output as you can see here, tax is set to 9% and shipping insurance is set at $1.00 for every $10.00.
Sub-Total: $100.00
Flat Rate (Best Way): $0.00
Shipping Insurance: $10.09
WA Sales Tax: $9.00
Total: $119.90

Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Where can I download the older version of this Module, 3.10. I cannot find it anywhere.
Please Help
Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
I need my insurance tax based on shipping, right now it's only basing it on the address of the person who signed up. any Ideas ast to how I can fix this?
Re: Optional Shipping Insurance Module Support Thread...
Thanks so much for this mod! Finally got it working after installing the SQL patch - didn't realize that you really need it for this to work, whether you ship internationally or not.
I hope this hasn't been answered and I'm just missing it, but my client ships both UPS and USPS and they both have different table rates. Is there anything in the mod that allows for this? We are requiring insurance. The rates are not so different but USPS allows for insurance at $1, I believe and UPS includes insurance up to $100 and then starts adding. So, if someone chooses UPS, the way we have it set up now, they'll get charged either $1.70 or $2.15 too much (USPS ins. rates for $50 and $100).
The client is doing offline processing so it's not that huge of a deal but I think there will be some confused customers.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there any solution?
Thanks,
Janelle
