gray buttons appear because of one of these issues

* A disabled button is displayed in the following cases:
* 1. If merchant id or merchant key is not set
* 2. If there are multiple shipping options selected and they use different shipping tax tables
* or some dont use tax tables

double check point 2, see if all your shipping use Taxable goods for taxes.

yes, it supposed to create both files!

do you check the boxes "Check if dir exists:" and "Create Files:" ??
the require valid-user is a directive of htaccess that tells the browser to look for valid users in .htpasswd

you DONt have to comment any code in responsehandler.php just need to enable or disable this feature from the amin UI!

just set tru to this

.htaccess Basic Authentication Mode with PHP over CGI?
This configuration will disable PHP Basic Authentication in the responsehandler.php to validate Google Checkout messages.
If setted True you MUST configure your .htaccess files here.

and add the htaccess with the script. .

i take notes about an easier readme file. thanks for your feedback

Thanks Ropu, the two files are now created after CHMOD from 755 to 777 on googlecheckout folder.

I noticed in one of your previous post that you said this

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>

need to be somewhere. Is it still needed?

Also, you did not answer my question about how to figure out whether PHP is installed on CGI or not. If I set to True on the AdminUI and PHP is not installed over CGI what happens?

I have GC1.0.4r working in production without any need for the code/instructions about PHP installation over CGI but somehow when I upgrade to 1.2 everything looks okay but the GC button is disabled. Responsehandler.php page doesn't show any error.

The only culprit I can think of is something is not configured right with the shipping. We offer Free Shipping Option, Free Shipper as well as Table Rate but none of these show up for Google Checkout Paypment configuration on the AdminUI. Why is that?

Thanks for all your work.

Ropu,

On point #2, I checked our setting and all our shipping module are set to use the same Taxable Goods. My questions for you is doesn't the fact that Taxable Goods only apply to two zones (in our case) affects Google Checkout button to be disable.

For example we have shipping module configured with zone set to none (meaning people can checkout worldwide) but our Taxable Goods is only configured to charge taxes for customers from 2 states in the US where we have physical location. Does this confuse GC and that's why the button is greyed out?

In GC 1.0.4r we are only using table rate as shipping option but the taxable goods still only applies to 2 states and we have no problem (except that it actually ignore the tax rule and charges no tax for customers from the two states ).

Thanks!

To know if you run over CGI try this

<?php
print_r($_SERVER);
?>

on a blanc script.

Gray button, see my last post

Regarding payments not showing in the admin ui. This is because all them are flat rate shipping, no need of merchant calculation to be done! so shipping quotes can be pre-calculated.

im pretty sure that the issue. try putting everything to none or tax goods and see if the button appears enabled. if so, pm to see how we can fix this issue and "unconfuse" GC button

I've just been notified of a new feature of GC.

A new tag allows merchant-calcullation-callback to send just the active shipping address to calculate shipping quotes. <calculation-mode>
http://code.google.com/apis/checkout...lculation-mode

This will help with the time out issue, because if a buyer had more the one address, before we need to calculate the shipping cost for each one, increasing the timeout chance.

now we calculate one per time, so calculation time is smaller

im releasing RC3 asap with this fixed.

quick fix:
googlecheckout/gcheckout.php line 412

change this:

    $gcheck->push('merchant-calculations');
        $gcheck->element('merchant-calculations-url', $url);
        $gcheck->element('accept-merchant-coupons', 'true');
        //$gcheck->element('accept-gift-certificates', 'true');
    $gcheck->pop('merchant-calculations'); 

for this

    $gcheck->push('merchant-calculations');
        $gcheck->element('merchant-calculations-url', $url);
        $gcheck->element('accept-merchant-coupons', 'true');
        $gcheck->element('calculation-mode', 'SINGLE');
        //$gcheck->element('accept-gift-certificates', 'true');
    $gcheck->pop('merchant-calculations');

The link in your signature still points to V1.2RC1 instead of V1.2RC3

Ropu,

I can confirm with certainty the root cause of the problem now.

If Tax Class is set to anything BUT NONE it breaks.
When Tax Class is none, the googlebutton is enabled and works for those shipping option that have tax class set to NONE.

1. I enabled 5 shipping option from AdminUI Shipping module and configured all to have a Tax Class SET TO Taxable Goods...Google install is successful with no error when I go to my url/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php. Google Checkout button is disabled (greyed out) and customer is unable to checkout.

2. I enabled 5 shipping option from AdminUI Shipping module and configured all to have a Tax Class SET TO NONE...Google install is successful with no error when I go to my url/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php and the Google Checkout button is enabled and all shipping options were presented to me during google checkout.

3. I enabled 5 shipping option from AdminUI Shipping module and configured TWO to have a Tax Class SET TO NONE...Google install is successful with no error when I go to my url/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php. The Google Checkout button is enabled BUT ONLY TWO shipping options that have Tax Class SET TO NONE were presented to me during google checkout.

At least now we know the source of the problem, we just need a solution

Perhaps this issue is related that GC is also not calculating Sales Tax in 1.0.4r even though it shows a tax line when checking out using GC.

Thanks for all your work.
