This is an interesting contribution and I had been wanting a gift wrap option. I'm wondering, though - in the directions you say:
Since I don't use many product attributes, it appear that I have to manually configure each product to include this gift wrap option, correct? Or can I apply the option to an entire category with one swoop?Quote:
5. Note that if your products already have attributes, then instead
of adding these fields one at a time, you may use one of the "Add ALL Option
Values" features back on the Catalog->Option Name Manager screen.
Bad news: one at a time. Good news: it really shouldn't take more than ten or twenty seconds per product, and it's monkey work you can give to anyone. I'd loan you my monkey but he's busy debugging the code I broke. :smile:
Scott
Hello there,
Great Contribution. I have set it all up, and I am sure I spotted somewhere that you can display the giftwrap price on the shopping cart page, but I might have been seeing things. Is it possible to do so?
Many regards,
Heathenmagic
Not by default; order total modules are only shown on page 2 of the checkout.
Scott
Great mod,
im using it to display 8 different types of gaftwrap and 8 greeting cards.
However i have one problem, I want to offer my customers free shipping if the order value including gift wrap and cards is over £75 at the moment it only takes into account the value of the product is there anyway to include the price of the gift wrap and cards in the subtotal ?

You'd have to write custom logic.
Scott
Thanks for the reply, im a bit of a noob i havnt a clue what custom logic is ive managed to get as far as i have with my website by following posts on the forum, reading books and other web resources.
This sounds a little complicated i think ill make do with what ive got for now.
Hi Scott.
Thanks for the great contribution. I have been testing it out and it works like a charm for normal products.
I am however finding that if the product is free (i.e. no charge) but I still want to charge for gift wrapping I cannot get the customer to pay for the wrapping.
In other words if I apply the gift wrap attribute to a free product and add it to the shopping cart, when I get to the checkout payment screen it show the totals summary correctly (zero for product, and gift wrap fee of $2) but no payment modules are shown. It is almost like some or other total somewhere is still zero so ZenCart does not show any payment modules.
I can get it to display payment modules by assigning a value to the gift wrap attribute on the product but this obviosly throws the total out (and voids one of the major reasons for using the contrib - makes it hard to change on a global scale).
Is there anything I can change or code I can add to get the payment modules to show for a free product?
Thanks again.
Regards.
Duwane
Duwane, can you try changing the product is free to false, keep the 0.00 price,
and try both settings of priced by attributes to see if this works?
Hi Scott. I tried all the things you asked me to and still get the same result (i.e. no payment modules) unless I assign a value of at least 1 cent (0.01) to the attribute.
The settings of my gift wrap attribute are as follows:
Used For Display Purposes Only: No
Attribute is Free When Product is Free: No
Default Attribute to be Marked Selected: No
Apply Discounts Used by Product Special/Sale: No
Include in Base Price When Priced by Attributes Yes
Attribute Required for Text: No
<edit> Forgot to add that I did try other attribute settings too </edit>
Have you tried to replicate the problem as I am pretty sure it will show up for you too?
Do you know where the code is in ZenCart that actually decides whether or not to diplay payment modules? I have tried to find it to trouble shoot but when you start getting into base class and init includes I get lost :blink:
I will look at it this weekend and get back to you as soon as I can.
Scott
I did some more testing.
If you have the The Zen Cart FREE CHARGE CARD payment method enabled it is the only method that shows in this scenario. I will take a look at its code later today and see if I can come up with a work around for this problem.
I will let you know.
Thanks.
Regards.
Duwane
Hi Scott.
Any luck yet? I have been trying to find a solution but to no avail... :frusty:
Suspect this is not possible without core changes.
I thought as much but I am not afraid of a few core changes :smile: Could you point me in the right direction as I would really like this to work.
Thanks.
Regards.
Duwane
My bad - no code change required. Here's what I did:
Catalog->Categories/Products
- product is free: no
- set price to $0.00.
- priced by attributes: no
Catalog->Attributes Controller
- add attribute, setting price + some amount.
Works fine.
Scott
Hi, first thanks for the great module. Is there a way to instead of the gift wrapping option showing up on each individual product page to have it in the shopping cart on the shipping info page?
Not without a bunch more coding.
Hiya Scott,
I've noticed this question asked before, but I never found the answer:
When setting the Gift Wrap attribute to each item, instead of putting $4.00 under Price, I put it under One-Time. This helps if let's say a customer selects Gift Wrap option and is charged only once for the specific item.. however, what I would need is the following setup:
1-3 items = $4.00 overall gift wrap charge
4-6 items = $6.00 " " "
7-10 items = $10.00 " " "
and so on...
I know this method works for shipping charges for example... darned I would know how to code this in. advice? Thanks.
Tatiana
If by "1-3 items" you mean 1-3 of the same item, modify calculate_wrap_fee_oneitem() to compute $fee based on $wrapitems. If by 1-3 items, you mean the total number of items in the cart, modify calculate_wrap_fee() to return the number of items, sum it inside the loop where calculate_wrap_fee is called, and determine the fee after the end of the loop.
Loop the wha to the who?
I'm sorry Scott. I don't wanna mess up I'm going live in a week... if you know how I can code it forTIA... if you get the chance :)Quote:
1-3 items, you mean the total number of items in the cart
I'm going to update this mod (hopefully in late Sept) to add the ability to charge in different ways.
I have a design for making gift wrapping a per product selection at checkout time which I hope to implement before the end of October. Stay tuned.
The new 2.0 modules looks great, with features that are sure to be loved by many. I've been working with the previous version and this takes it to a whole new level. Thanks for working on this. :clap:
I downloaded from your website (http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca..._checkout.html) and installed, but now when I try to checkout I receive an error either after I have a cart and try to login or when I'm logged in and hit the checkout button on the cart that says "cannot redeclare class .... /includes/classes/order.php in line 20"
I'm wondering if I didn't get something copied to the correct location, so will work tomorrow on that. Has anyone seen anything similar? Thanks!
It sounds as though you may have simply renamed the original "includes/classes/order.php" to another file that still has the ".php" extension. Instead, rename it to (say) "includes/classes/order.php.old" This was it won't be loaded.
LOVE THIS MOD! Going to make a contribution for it right now.
Couple questions
Has anyone tried to integrate it into Super Orders Mod?
Where do I update the copy for the Gift Wrapping Poppup link?
Greg
Thank you. In answer to your questions:
- the popup is in ./includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/giftwrap.php
I'll add this detail to the install instructions.
- To integrate with Super Orders, just take that block of code from l. 501 - 555 and
paste it in to super_orders.php just before the inclusion of orders_download.php.
Actually, this is another great thing to add to the instructions.
Thanks,
Scott
Fantastic. Thanks for the quick reply.
hi Scott. Like most others i am very appreciative for your mods/work. I do have a question - and its not that big - but i was hoping to have the gift wrap attribute be under the other attributes. i made all the changes in terms of ordering the attributes and still it seems to be first in order. any idea how to move it to last in order?
if this is a frighteningly dumb question, i apologize in advance.
Thanks!
The answer to your question is: the attribute display logic is part of the Zen Cart core that you probably don't want to change unless you're an expert.
Having said that, this week I'm going to put a new version of this contribution on the Zen Cart download server that won't require separate attributes. Prob. end of the week.
Scott
It's ready! Gift Wrap 2.0 has been installed in the download area:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=407
This version does not require special per-product attributes.
Scott
I installed this mod on a test store on my PC running Zen version 1.3.7 with no other mods installed. When running my first test order I get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class order in C:\htdocs\store\includes\classes\order.php on line 1030
Any ideas? Thanks, by the way, for your great work with Zen Cart!
You want to rename the previous version of "order.php" to something with a file extension other than "php." For instance, "order.php.old" You have called it (something like) "order.old.php" and it can't figure out which is the real "order" class.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I renamed the original order.php as order.phpORIG when I first loaded the mod. Doubled checked just to be sure, and then removed it from the classes folder altogether. Still have the problem.
Thanks to all your help on this Scott, it was determined the problem was with the Windows install on local machine. Once installed on the live site it worked fine! :clap:
Specifically, when downloading from the contribution area to a local Windows machine, the last line of includes/classes/orders.php was changed to
}?>
changing it back to
}
?>
resolved the problem.
Does this allow customers to choose between different gift wrapping options? I was thinking I would like to offer several different color option..
Not yet, but that's in the plan.
Cool... I think that would be nice - especially if you want theme wrapping

Xmas....
Very cool contribution. :) Are there step by step instructions somewhere for installing this? I've modified some of these pages...
You'll need to use a file comparison tool to compare each of the files in the zip archive to the version that comes with 1.3.7.1, and then apply these changes to your changes. In Windows, there's a tool called "Beyond Compare" that helps you do this sort of thing.
Hi there, really liking your work...!!
Just wondering if there is a way to exclude certain categories from gift wrap?
Cheers in advance.
Grimmers
No, but that's an interesting idea; I'll add it to the list.
so when is the new version coming out?
It's available for download now. New features:
- user exits for disabling wrapping for categories or products.
- user exits for adding a surcharge for wrapping categories or products.
- turning Gift Wrapping off in admin->modules->order total now disables display of options on checkout pages 1 and 3.
Help is on my home page at

Works like a charm! :cool:
Excellent mod
You are now on my Christmas card list... lol

Thanks again!
Chris
Thank you. More to come soon....
Hi Scott
Thanks for a terrific mod. I just installed it and looks great. I have a question re: super orders. I am trying to integrate this with this mod and have viewed your readme file. I have looked in my super_orders.php for the following code
but it is not there and I don't know why as this file is "out of the box" so to speak.Quote:
If you are running Super Orders, edit the file admin/super_orders.php
and find the following line
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'orders_download.php');
Where else in this file would I be able to place the all of the following code
<!-- bof gift wrap -->
and
<!-- eof gift wrap -->
TIA!! :smile:
It's on l. 853 of the current version. Sounds like you need to upgrade.
Thanks Scott, not sure what file I was looking at yesterday, but it must have been the wrong one as I have the most current version so I had another look this morning an low and behold there it was. Must have been coded out yesterday. :oops: Sorry for the inconvenience.Quote:

Nothing fancy just something where you can maybe instead of selecting a paper, select an occasion and add a space to type in a personalized message.
It would be free though, no charges added.
I am not a programmer so I do not know if this is possible, so please don't get upset with me for asking. One never knows unless they ask..right?
thank you,

This would be a huge change. What you might want to do is simply encourage people to add these sorts of instructions to the checkout special instructions/order comments box at the bottom of the checkout screens.
Thank you for the quick reply swguy!Quote:

Anyway, I do appreciate your reply as well as the helpful mods you've given us "Zenners".
thank you,

Possible things you could do within the existing Zen Cart without code changes:
- add attributes to each item you want to provide a gift card for.
- create a free/low cost "product" called gift card with a text attribute for message, etc. Upsell this product either on the product info page or perhaps on the shopping cart page.
Scott
Gee swguy...I wonder if all Zencart fans in FL are insomniacs, or is it just us?!?Quote:

I'm not quite sure what "upsell" means though. Plus, it's possible to have products for sale on the shopping cart page?
You definitely have my interest peaked here. As I think I'm about to learn something new.
Thank you for the ideas swguy.
betty
upsell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upsell
sell on shopping cart page: you can create links to other products on the shopping cart page. You can even do this on checkout page 1. I wouldn't recommend doing it beyond page 1; it distracts from the closing process.
insomnia: That Software Guy never sleeps.
BettySue, you may also want to download the FIRST version of this mod, which used attributes. The readme points to a webpage on my site about configuration that may be of interest to you if this is the way you want to go. (Note that this is *completely different* from version 2 - different code, different help, etc. etc.)
Ok, I just d/l'ed it, and bookmarked the readme page on the 1st version on your site. What is it about this one that is different from the latest one that will male it easier to set up for gift cards?Quote:

The old one just shows the use of attributes for various things. It may or may not be useful, but it's another data point for you in your search.
If you want to see a product with text as an attibute, one is provided in the sample data. You can see it here:

I used beyond compare as you suggested and it's all working beautifully *except* for an odd but rather large problem.... no matter what shipping you choose on the checkout shipping page, usps express mail shipping is what you get. I've gone back through the files comparing them and I'm not sure what I've done wrong to cause this to happen.... help?
Nevermind... I just figured out that this wasn't caused by me... http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80621
Hi there,
I've recently installed this great contribution to my online store, but for some reason I can't seem to work out how to make the value in the shopping cart show with tax included. Our store is currently set to display prices with tax.
Example:
Our price to gift wrap is based on $2.50 + 10% tax per item. So for a cart that has say 2 items, the total gift wrap value should $5.00 + $0.50 tax giving $5.50 total.
Currently the cart only shows $5.00 instead of $5.50. All other values are correct except this one.
Any ideas why this would be and how I can go about fixing it?
Thanks
Max
For some unknown reason, I fat-fingered it and forgot this switch. :( I'll fix it in the next release. For now, use a tax-included price and set tax recalc to none - I think this should work.
Thanks for the fast reply.
If I set the value to a tax included price and tax recalc to none, this will not show correctly when I genenerate my tax reports.
I might see if I can take a closer look at this myself.
thank again swguy.
If you look at low_order_fee, you'll see what you need to do. You won't need to add a database entry, since for your store it will be on all the time. Look for DISPLAY_PRICE_WITH_TAX.
Thanks for the pointer, I'll see what I can come up with.
I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I am can't get the category or product exit to work.
I have read the FAQ on the site for the category problems, but I can't even get the product exit to work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the module.
Here is my code
Code:function exclude_product($prid) {
$id = (int)$prid;
switch($id) {
case 38:
case 40:
case 42:
return true;
}
return false;
This is only part of the logic - have you installed the template files too? These control whether or not a check is displayed.
I didn't update them from the older version!
Thank you for the quick reply and also for this add-on it is perfect!
In version 2.1, the function apply_category_wrap_surcharge() still has one of my testcases in it; please delete
case 19:
this should be line 88 of includes/modules/order_total/ot_giftwrap_checkout.php
Hi,
I just installed your gift wrapping contribution. Thanks...I had been wanting something like this for a while. It's working great, but I was wondering if there is a way to not allow gift wrapping for certain products. Right now it seems to apply to all categories/all products. Some of the things I sell I don't have gift packaging for. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
-Becky
If you download version 2.1, there are two user exits to allow you to disable gift wrap on specific categories and/or products.
Hi - The contribution is working great except for one small problem. On my invoices when a customer has paid for gift wrap, it still says "No gift wrapping selected" at the bottom of the invoice. Did I miss a step in the installation somewhere?
I would guess one of your merges failed. I would look at includes/classes/order.php.
For vendors obligated to display prices inclusive of tax, please download version2.2 of this mod, which adds the "Tax Included" radio button. You must REMOVE (Admin->Modules->Order Totals->Gift Wrap at Checkout->Remove) and RE-INSTALL in order to use this feature.
Also included in version 2.2 is the fix for the issue reported in post 71 and css to vertically center the checkbox for gift wrapping on the first checkout page.
Thanks to sky50 for beta testing the tax logic and providing ideas for improvement.
Scott
Hi SWGUY,
I'm trying to get this new version 2.2 released Dec 1 and for some reason at the checkout_shipping (http://tls.camerch.com/store/index.p...ckout_shipping) page it's returning a blank page.
Would you possible know why?
Thanks in advance!
You really need to post the PHP error logs for me to have any hope of understanding what's happening in your environment. Saying "I got a blank page" doesn't give me enough clues to go on.
Hey SWGUY,
Unfortunately no PHP "error_log" files are being generated when the blank page shows.. I'm not sure where to go from here, I can't find anything in logs to see what's going on here.
I know it's hard to figure it out with just blank page, so if you have a few minutes let me know I can provide my user/pass to my FTP so you can take look at it. It's a test server running Zen 1.3.7 freshly installed.
Thanks
OK, I moved it to a new server and now when I get to checkout_shipping I get the following error message:Quote:

It sounds like your files were damaged during upload. The function is not failing; it's not found. It should be in include/functions/functions_customer.php.

Thanks!
This is a great mod, just what is needed at this time of year. Thanks :D
One small question - is there any way the price can be displayed on the checkout page, the same way that the shipping rates are?
At the moment there is no way for the customer to know what they will be charged for wrapping, unless I put it in the policies, but that is dependent on them reading the policies and means that I'd have to change code rather than just parameters if I changed the price.
TIA.
See the link that says "Gift Wrapping Policies?" That's what it's there for. The instructions show you how to change this.
Umm, you've missed the point I think :) People do not usually bother to click on links to read things like policies - it needs to be more obvious what the cost is otherwise people will assume it is free and then be irritated when they are charged on the next page.
Another suggestion you may want to consider for future versions is allowing text to be added for each gift or the whole order, so that the sender's message can go on a card. Just a thought :)
The cost computation can be arbitrarily complex; it's not a matter of just echoing the values you fill in on the admin page.
If you're worried that customers will be astonished by your pricing structure, you can change the anchor text to make it more obvious that it's a priced service.
define('GIFT_WRAP_EXPLAIN_LINK', 'Gift Wrapping Pricing');
Or you can alter your template to just show a text message saying this is a priced service; final pricing will be provided on the next page.
If it's appropriate for your cart, you can certainly modify your template to echo the admin page settings, but this is not a general solution.
I got the mod working, and it's great, but the customer wants it turned off for now. I did the "remove" in the Admin under Order Total Modules, but it's still showing up as an option during checkout.
How do I disable this?
This feature only works in the latest and greatest version. If you have an earlier version, you will need to manually delete the files (in particular, the template files) to turn it off.
Thanks, that did it. Appreciate the quick reply.
I just installed this on my test site, and I am getting double tax on the gift wrap charge.
I'm in Canada and my taxes are broken down on 2 lines, 1 for the item and 1 for the shipping but in calculating the taxes it sees to include the gift wrap charge under both item and shipping.
As an example
Item Cost $20.59
Shipping $15.44
Gift $3.08
6% Tax on item+giftwrap ($20.59+$3.08) = $1.42 (this is what shows)
6% Tax on Shipping ($15.44) = $0.93 (Screen shows $1.11 which is $15.44+$3.08 x 6%)
If I select to include tax and change recalculate to none, then the gift wrap charge goes from $3.08 to $3.45 which is basically $3.08 + 6% +6% ($3.08x6%=$3.26)
Am I making sense?
James
You'd have to include gift wrapping in whatever changes you have to make the tax separate out for shipping vs. the item. I'm not sure how the Canada mods work but you'd have to do the same sort of changes to Gift Wrap.
Scott
The only changes made for Canadian taxes are to define tax zones / classes and rates as per http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35032 no mods to files so I'm not sure what changes I could make to get this to work.

Anyone install gift wrap mod on zencart 1.3.8
When i go to admin/modules/order total/
theres no link for gift wrap to install. I thought,
ok. what did i do or did not do, So i made a test site with
zencart 1.3.7 i installed it there and it works great.
so if some one has it working on zencart 1.3.8
let me know if you had the same problem, And thanks so much.
I'll test this out tonight.
It works fine once you've done the zillions of merges required to bring the code forward to 1.3.8. I'll need a couple of weeks to soak the fixes before I release them.
sw guy
Thanks for looking into this and thank you for all you're hard work
A bug has been found in the handling of the orders_total table in this module. If you are still running Zen Cart 1.3.7, please upgrade to Gift Wrap 2.3 (now available in the download area). This fix will be included in the 1.3.8 version of this mod, which will be released next month.
In all likelihood, this is the final 1.3.7 version of this mod.
Thanks,
Scott
