Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

I think I figured it out! I had an issue with the zones and geo_zones tables. I now have a ton of php warnings about undefined array keys and undefined properties but it did calculate the insurance fee correctly on the front-end when going through checkout. I haven't tested an actual transaction yet which I will handle tomorrow after I finally get some needed rest. If the transaction calculates properly I will post the updated plugin as well as installation instructions (The installer built into the plugin doesn't work with 1.5.8a)

And the reason for 1.5.8a from two years ago is.....?

If you are trying to use an old version to get an older shipping/payment mod to work, you should know that most of those basic zen cart settings had to be modified in 2.0.0 to meet the current coding requirements for many of those older shipping/payment features.

You may be creating a shiny new bridle and saddle for a horse that really needs to be a Nascar vehicle for today's "race".

Our custom template doesn't work with 2.0. This update will be for those stores which are on 1.5.8a without the means to upgrade to 2 yet.

Also, I haven't found a single premium template available for ZC 2+ yet and the stock template is not going to cut it for the brand needing the site.

bootstrap can be manipulated fairly easily to meet most needs.

There's not a store-bought template that I've ever found that doesn't mess with core files in some way that generally makes them a pain in the :censored:. Especially at upgrade time.

I'm sure there are those out there that are skipping store-bought creation for 2.0.1 in favor of 2.1.0. Lots of changes (great ones) coming soon.

v4.0.0 of the Optional Shipping Insurance plugin is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=232

Updates for continued operation under Zen Cart v2.1.0+, Edit Orders v5.0.0+ and PHP 8.0+.

It wasn't. The insurance is optional until such time that the insurance's configuration indicates that it's required.

A screenshot of its configuration would help.

Thanks for your help =)

OK, my eyesight is going, but ...

It looks like you've got both the "Amount Exempt From Fee" and the "Required Insurance Amount" set to 150, which essentially says that insurance is required over $150.

If I've misread the teeny-weeny text on that image, please enlighten me!

The optional insurance is not in checkout.

OK, same comment, different numbers.

You've got the first $100.00 exempt from insurance (if optional) but require insurance for orders >= $100.00. That's why the optional insurance isn't displayed; there's no available option.

Up to $100.00, the cost is exempt, so there's no option to display. After $100.00, the insurance is required, so there's no option to display.
