installing linkpoint module?

[snarkys]

i set up my account with Cardservice International and i downloaded the newer linkpoint module and unzipped it to find about 15 php files. I am using filezilla to FTP my files to the server. I just have no clue where to put these files to properly install the module. any help ?

INSTALLATION:

The files are arranged in the same structure as Zen-Cart v1.2.x/v1.3.x - Upload them as such.

I really don't understand what that means.

please forgive my noobness , i have never installed a module to zen cart before.

OK well i decided to add all the files to the file path that's listed next to the file and that went well untill i got to includes\modules\payments\linkpoint_api.

there is no linkpoint_api folder , should i create one ?


thanks for all your help , this whole thing has been a really neet learning process for me.

well i went ahead and created the folder and put the files in it.

I had one problem though the .htaccess file doesn't want to upload , when i drop it in the folder it has a bunch of ??????? in the file size and in the date. then it disappears when I add any other files.

BTW i have been installing this under the public HTML directory . i hope that is correct.

ok after installing without that odd file listed above i get this error when i go in admin on the cart and look under payment modules

Warning: main(/home/*****/public_html/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/linkpoint_api.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/snarkys/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 188

lol ok i fixed the warning and the module seems to be installed but the .htaccess file still wont upload , how important is that file ?

[snarkys]

ok its fully installed and seems to be working fine. guess i just talked my way through it : ) maybe someone else will find this thread of use when they are trying to do it.

should i be worried about the .htaccess file ?

Sounds like you did things just fine.

The .htaccess file may have actually uploaded, but since the "." in the filename usually means "hidden", it may not show up when you're looking at it with your FTP software.

The .htaccess is intended to help prevent people from browsing the linkpoint_api folder and stealing things from it.

I am decideing on which payment module to use. How have you liked using the cardservice international and linkpoint? I am condering using them. I assume they do full credit card processing for you? Can you set up where credit cards are charged after delivery? Also, is there a fee you have to pay when there are refunds you have to make.

Any feedback would be really helpful. Thanks!
