Google Checkout: Using a smaller button

[Silum]

Heres the button my site currently uses:



Heres the one I want it to use:



I would have thought this would be ridiculously simple, find the code, change it. I can't for the life of me find where this code is that governs the checkout.gif image. I also can't find this question asked anywhere on the forum either despite me thinking this is a fairly common thing to do... So, I must be missing something!

You could use the Admin - Tools - Developers Tool Kit to search for the actual name of the existing button.

Doesn't work, I can search checkout.gif and all it gives me is this:


That is the ONLY google gif that is coded into any of my files. Searching other things doesn't work either, no mention of this specific image. All I can think is it must be hidden along another google request. Its not hosted on my server, its on googles, and I assume that the code (wherever it is) is being called on but I just can't find it. It would almost be easier to just force my own smaller googlecheckout image but thats against their TOS.

Of all the things to stump me, this ones a little silly to be honest. I'm running through the google checkout code to try and find where it requests the image but so far am having no luck.

Anyone? Still confuzzled.

Yeah, I would like to use the smaller button as well.

I've looked at all of the Goog Checkout files, and can't find where to change the button size.

Anyone have an idea?

The file that controls the button sizes is googlecart.php, located in the /googlecheckout/library/ folder. You can choose from small, medium, large, and whether it's transparent or white, etc.

I double-checked it to be sure. This is the code that controls GC button that appears in the shopping cart; it begins around line 1087 of googlecart.php:

function CheckoutButtonCode($size="large", $variant=true, $loc="en_US",
$showtext=true, $style="white")

You change "large" to either "medium" or "small" to adjust the button size. A couple more useful changes you can make:

$showtext=true can be changed to $showtext=false to turn off the "What is Google Checkout?" text link.

$style="white" can be changed to $style="trans" for a button with a clear background instead of white.
