Free Shipping Options not showing up

Hello zen cart.

This is "Free Shipping Options not triggering? part deux".

I created three tax zones.

  1. Continental US: 48 +DC +APO set -PA Tax Rate :0.
  2. PA sales Tax zone: PA 6%
  3. HI sales tax zone: HI 4%

I cloned the freeoptions module to create:

=================================

  1. Free Shipping Options freeoptions 0 info

Free Options is used to display a Free Shipping option when other Shipping Modules are displayed. It can be based on: Always show, Order Total, Order Weight or Order Item Count. The Free Options module does not show when Free Shipper is displayed.

Setting Total to >= 0.00 and <= nothing (leave blank) will activate this module to show with all shipping modules, except for Free Shipping - freeshipper.

NOTE: Leaving all settings for Total, Weight and Item count blank will deactivate this module.

NOTE: Free Shipping Options does not display if Free Shipping is used based on 0 weight is Free Shipping. See: freeshipper

============================

Note that to make this work at all the free shipping limit has to be placed into the Total <= field instead of the >= field.
This seems like a design flaw to me, but moving right along...

The <= free shipping test product works correctly in all three shipping modules.
The 9.95 shipping fee is properly applied.
The proper tax is calculated and displayed.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

The problem:

The > free shipping test product does not work correctly in all three shipping modules.

All three zones show no shipping rate available:

Available Shipping Methods Rates

All three zones show this message on the Checkout page:

Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thank you,
Joe

Re: Free Shipping Options not showing up

Ok, that's it!

A tool works or it doesn't.

zen cart doesn't.

Throw it away.

Try OS Commerce!
