$_SESSION['cart']->total += addedAmount not showing up in $cartShowTotal

You can't add amounts to the shopping cart without adding them as line items, otherwise they won't get calculated properly when the line-items are summed.

Or, use an Order Total module to add the amount to the order during checkout.

thanks, what is a 'line item'?

and for Order Total module, you mean one that already exists?,

Well, in the strictest sense, it's a product.
So, unless you're adding another "product" to the cart, that's not what you want to bother doing.

No. I envision that your whole thing needs to ultimately manifest as an order-total entry, which means building an order-total module to read all the other data you've generated elsewhere, and then output it during checkout.

ok, thanks

I really don't know how to do an order total module YET, but for the time being.
i'd like to just do a hack, i'm way behind on this as is!

i'm doing well with these Hazmat session vars and would like to do this, (pseudo code

if(isset($_SESSION['hazMatFee'])) {
$shoppingCartTotal += $_SESSION['hazMatFee']; }

can you tell which file i could add that to? i've been poking around but haven't found it so far

Try this:

ok, definitely i will.

thanks!
