Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[misty]

Google Checkout mod not easy to install...
without going through all your settings, including those at google, cannot
say for sure what not working correctly...
This is how I got it working....use Classic template, without
any mods running...get google checkout running....then
switch to desired template, then start adding mods.
HTH

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start up the Zen Cart Admin after installation of Google Checkout
2. Go TO the "Payments tab"
3. Receive this error

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class googlecheckout
in /home6/rinceban/public_html/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php
on line 308"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The aility to
install and configure the module.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Zen
Cart 1.3.8a and Google Checkout for this version forj the download.

Anyone have any ideas??

Well nothing like answering my own post. I fixed the problem - It was easy!!

I downloaded and installed the GC file FROM THIS SITE rather than from THE GOOGLE DEVELOPMENT SITE.

I noticed that both are the same version number, but somthing is different with several of the files. The package from this site works good in sandbox testing so far. I do have some settings jacked up and some work to do, but all in all it is working including shipping and tax calculation.

I need to figure out how to remove the internal checkout button and only show the google checkout button.

See post 1710 in this thread for getting rid of the checkout button and some other notes.

OK, just had another Google Checkout payment and it's still not communicating with ZC database even though I added this URL in API callback area:

https://www .limelites.co.uk/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php

Anyone know why Google's not talking to ZC ? ? ? ?

There are some notes in the package about extra steps required for authentication if your servers PHP is running as CGI (or f-CGI) and a proggie to generate the proper .htaccess authentication.

Can't say if this applies to you, but you may consider it.

Also, I did have a prob with a SEO module that added a lot of stuff to the .htaccess file. I had to add a rule to ignore rewriting the googlecheckout dir.

Just some ideas.

I don't use SEO mods, but I'd be eternally grateful if you could point me in the right direction re the 'extra steps required for authentication' or how to generate the .htaccess file. I have a .htaccess file in the googlecheckout folder but it only has about four lines.

Kiddo - Thanks!

These instructions are packaged in the GC kit I have:

4. .htaccess Basic Authentication Mode with PHP over CGI? If your site is
installed on a PHP CGI you must disable Basic Authentication over PHP.
To avoid spoofed messages (only if this feature is enabled) reaching
responsehandler.php, set the .htaccess file with the script linked
(http://your-site/admin/htaccess.php).
Set permission 777 for http://your-site/googlecheckout/ before running
the script. Remember to turn back permissions after creating the files.


Also carefully check the callback value on Google.

If you need to compare settings to a known good system (on ZC, Google, or both) let me know and I'll list them for comparison. Could be one little checkbox is wrong somewhere.

Kiddo, thanks for your help. I do run PHP over CGI and I have it set up accordingly:

If setted True you MUST configure your .htaccess files here.

* True

I had already ran the script some time ago, but I set permissions and ran it again (changing back to 755)....

I don't think this will help though as I had already done this some time ago. I have a feeling it's something to do with my settings in https://checkout.google.com/sell/set...on=Integration.............. advanced settings.

I presently do not have any of these boxes ticked?? Is this right??

The only boxes ticked on this page are "only post digitally signed carts" and "XML".... everything else is unchecked?

What do you mean by "check the callback value on Google" ??
