Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[mattclements]

I can confirm from further tests through my test site that Google Checkout works fully on ZC 1.5.0.

Please can you have a look at: https://checkout.google.com/sell/ and go to Tools > Integration Console

This will show any errors that Google Checkout had calling the Response Handler; If nothing recent is here checkout /googlecheckout/logs/response_error.log and /googlecheckout/logs/response_message.log to see if there is anything obvious there (you can always email me these logs/screenshots for me to have a look zencart [at] mattclements.co.uk).

Also have you tried to re-install the module since the installation of ZC 1.5.0 - Google Checkout overwrites some standard ZenCart files, and there is a chance that these ZC files have now been restored to their originals.

Regards,
Matt

Thanks - that's a bit of a hole in Zen Cart though! We've had Google Checkout for years.

A hole??? Free add-ons are contributed by VOLUNTEERS not the Zen Cart team. Volunteers must volunteer to update it and submit that update.. That's how it has ALWAYS worked.. (and it's the same for ALL open source projects too..)

HI Just reading the requirements for google check and it mentions needing an ssl cert do I really need one as I'll only be using GC and pay pal and if not what is the API callback URL:

I understand that, but it doesn't change the fact that 1.5 was released, and a major payment method that did function no longer does. I know how Zen-Cart works, and I'm appreciative of the effort that goes in to the add-ons, but yes, a hole is a hole. Google checkout was one of the biggest pains to set up, and Google at least should be working on this, as everyone that upgrades and relies on this payment method will have to turn the module off and cut bait.

I'm not complaining, but I am asking for a definitive answer - Is Google Checkout working in 1.5? If not, I don't want to spend time trying to do something that can't be done.

and for all add-ons, until someone updates it to be compatible, this is the nature of the beast.. **shrugs** The Zen Cart admins do not update add-ons when there is an update in the basecode.. they never have.. and no other open source project works this way either.. so this is not a new way of doing things at all..

Google abandoned their support for Zen Cart YEARS ago.. There's a fair amount of documentation in this in this thread about this..

Not true.. First off, if all your mods are not v1.5 ready, you don't NEED to update RIGHT NOW.. v1.3.9 is safe, and you can continue to use it until all your mods are v1.5 ready (dunno why everyone is in a BIG rush to upgrade RIGHT NOW..)

BUT not all mods have an active "maintainer".. If your business relies on on a module where there is no active "maintainer", and you NEED to update your store, then you can INVEST in the services of a developer to update the mods you use.. or simply wait until the mods you want to use are updated..

I'm not complaining, but I am asking for a definitive answer - Is Google Checkout working in 1.5? If not, I don't want to spend time trying to do something that can't be done.

I believe if you look back a few posts mattclements answered this for you..

Hi Don't know if this is a issue with the mod but I've just installed it on my test site and its messed up the checkuot page layout, http://www.rvsolarsystems.co.uk/test...=shopping_cart if you take a look at the page the sub total has been pushed to the left and the blue stripe has almost disappeared on my live site the stripe goes all along the bottom so I'm wondering if anyone has come across this and how they solved it.

I am getting some funky results after upgrading to the latest version and I think I may have used an incorrect upgrade SQL at one point. Is there SQL to completely remove Google Checkout and then install the latest version fresh?

In the downlaod files for the latest version, there does not seem to be Install sql, only Upgrade.

Thanks,

All,
I have just completed the update for Zen Cart v1.5.0 (co-incidentally this will be versioned as Version 1.5.0 of the module too!)

The structure of the ZIP file has changed a little (following what I have seen of the CEON modules that do this very well!). Basically I have put all cross-version files within a files folder (this is all files from previous versions, with the exception of /admin/orders.php).

/admin/orders.php is now located in 2 folders:

• /files_for_v1.3.X/admin/orders.php (Version 1.3.X Version)
• /files_for_v1.5/admin/orders.php (Version 1.5.0 Version)

This keeps the new additions of the order page within Zen Cart, rather than removing the extra features.

Appart from this minor change to help you out, nothing else has changed and v1.5.0 has been tested and confirmed to work with this Google Checkout module.

I have submitted this update to Zen Cart add-ons now

Cheers,
Matt

Hello,
I presume this is a duplicate post of this one: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192956

If so, I have now responded on this post with a customised version of your template with the correct changes.
