Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

As an FYI I have tested this mod with Marco's USPS module, all works well if you have the settings correct.
If you used this method to hide the optional insurance when UPS is selected:```
if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_EXPRESS'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PRIORITY'
&& $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] != 'usps_PARCEL'
&& !IS_ADMIN_FLAG)

You need to change it to this: (if you are using upsxml)

if (($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'free_free')
|| ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Ground')
|| ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS 3 Day Select')
|| ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS 2nd Day Air')
|| ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Next Day Air Saver')
|| ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'upsxml_UPS Next Day Air'))

If you need to hide the Opt. Ins for other shipping modules PM me and I'll help you with that if I can....

Thanks to Mikestaps I was confident installing this on zen 1.3.9h. It works beautifully on my site with the standard zen cart usps shipping.

It did take me a long time to get this module working. Although it was probably my error, it should be clarified that you MUST use the SQL included to use the table rate, international or otherwise.

I noticed the included table rates were outdated, so here is the most current information for those wanting to use it.

50:1.80,100:2.30,200:2.85,300:4.75,400:5.80,500:6.85,600:7.90,700:8.95

Anything over $700.00 value you will want to add yourself.

I've got the shipping insurance module enable and all of the settings appear correct but the shipping insurance entry never appears in the order total when checking out at all. What would be causing it to not show up at all and not effect the order total at all?

Make sure you have zones set up and selected in the table rates, even if you are not using the table rates...

Thanks a million mikestap, that totally fixed it.

I wasn't using zones at all so I didn't have any set up. I created an "Everywhere" zone and assigned shipping insurance to it and now it shows up fine.

What's the solution to this?
Thanks

Jorge-
I'm going to look at using the same theory that in post# 315 to accomplish this. I am also looking at making this compatible with Marco's USPS module, so it may take me a little while....

Hi,
Could you kindly elabrate on which file to edit so that when optional insurance is not selected, it will not show up in the order total as $0.0. Your advise is very much appreciated. :smile:

Ok, so I figured out the in tpl_checkout_confirmation_default.php these lines are what "prints" the order totals:
around line 164

<?php
  if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_INSTALLED) {
    $order_totals = $order_total_modules->process();
?>
<div id="orderTotals"><?php $order_total_modules->output(); ?></div>
<?php
  }
?>

I would think you could add in a if statement to exclude the ot_insurance module is it is not selected, just not really sure how to do that right now.

This is on the list of to do's, but unfortunately that list is getting pretty long! :ohmy:

Hello

i am using zen cart 1.3.9h. i have installed various add ons with no problem but I've hit a snag with this one.

I installed it as per instructions and it shows up in admin. I have set it to the following settings

Enable Insurance Module: True
Sort Order : 102
Use Table rates : NO
Alternate insurance type : percent
Insurance percenatge : 3
insurance rate : .50
Increment Amount : 100
Amount Exempt from fee : 0
Tax Class : none
Required insurance amount : 0

Basically I just want the option to charge 3% shipping insurance if the customer chooses it.

i have tried altering the above settings, but I cannot get the option to show up when the customer is concluding their purchase.

any help appreciated, i just cannot see where im going wrong

many Thanks

Sorry just forgot to add

i have not installed the SQl patch. I am only shipping to my local country South Africa. I have removed all other countries from the sql database.
Would i need to install the SQL patch anyway

thanks

Sorry if this has already been answered, but I can't seem to sort it out.

How can the code be changed so that the insurance is preselected, but not required.I've been running in circles playing with the file to no avail.

-lindasdd

still don't understand this one

[15-Oct-2012 13:36:42] PHP Warning: constant() [<a href='function.constant'>function.constant</a>]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_INSURANCE_ZONE_5 in /home2/pwcforum/public_html/includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php on line 43

http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=232

i think something isn't matching up cause its for 1.3.8 can anyone help me and either take out zone 5 cause we don't use it anyway or help me update it so it will work with 1.5.1

Thanks

i installed this on 1.5.1 and now i get this error

[15-Oct-2012 13:36:42] PHP Warning: constant() [<a href='function.constant'>function.constant</a>]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_INSURANCE_ZONE_5 in /home2/*******/public_html/includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php on line 43

please help

Dashizna,
Click "Remove" on that module, and then click "install" and set it up again. That should clear up those messages which were caused by the way in which you did your upgrade.

Dashizna-
Take a look back at post#327...
I had to fill in ALL of the zones even if they are not being used. You could also go in to and edit the ot_insurance.php file to remove where it is looking for ZONE_5, but I wouldn't advise that if you are not comfortable working with the php files. (If you do this MAKE SURE TO BACK UP FIRST, just in case!)

Just took a quick look at the file.
My line 40 reads:

$this->num_zones = $geozones->RecordCount();

you could remove $geozones->RecordCount(); and replace with the number of zones you use. Like so:

//$this->num_zones = $geozones->RecordCount();
$this->num_zones = 4;

I'm sure this is not the "right" way nor the "pretty" way but it should work

Linda-
If you change it from a radio button to a check box the customer should be able to uncheck it... I'll take a look at this tomorrow and get back with you.

Hi All,

I have installed the module on ZC version 1.5.1 and I can edit the mod in the admin area but nothing shows up in the store, no option 'check box' for the customer to select. I guess would like what I'm asking is does this mod work with version 1.5.1? I have the settings that I am using,

thanks Steve.

Hi folks,
I search each thread and could not find answer for this but I was able to figured this out and sharing here so it may be helpful for you all!

Insurance not required but optional and want to have insurance checkbox marked when page loads.
If customer don't want insurance they can simply uncheck box. Using this modification you can get more orders with insurance as box is already selected.

Do following:

Module>Order total >Ot_insurance

Open above mentioned file then press CTRL + F
and type "Checkbox" in search box and hit "ENTER"

Few lines above the line you saw with word "Checkbox" there is a field

$selected = (($_SESSION['opt_insurance'] == '1') ? true : false);

change it to

$selected = (($_SESSION['opt_insurance'] == '1') ? true : true);

If you have standard file with no changes then you can find it by searching for line

Any comment or question contact me Thanks.

Resurrecting this necro thread.
Had anyone noticed that this module no longer works properly with ZC 1.5.3?
insurance used to be exempted in 1.5.1 and prior for Walk-In Store Pickup orders, but after upgrade to 1.5.3, insurance is now added for Walk-In store pickup orders. This is reproducible in both of my shopping carts of different stores.
I know this issue was addressed early in page 9 of this thread, but looks like it might have resurfaced.
Currently running Zen-Cat 1.5.3. Optional Shipping Insurance Module version 3.2.2

Live shopping cart is here: http://www.harajukuhearts.com/

Any help would be appreciated.
