Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[chain_man]

Hello,

I have had trouble with the install of google checkout for 1.3.7 . Every time I install the google checkout mod, it seems to overwrite my paypal EC buttons and displaying the GC button where the paypal EC button goes. Has this been happening to anyone else? I have read the install directions and done everything to the letter. Please let me know if there is a fix to this or if I may have done something wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I've found that , if you want to use PayPal Express checkout too, you will have to do a bit of merging the GoogleCheckout code into the new versions of the 3 template files found in includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates. All of the 1.3.7 versions of those files have PayPal Express modifications in them. I found it easier to modify tpl_login_default.php and tpl_shopping_cart_default.php from the new versions by adding the GCO code. With the tpl_checkout_payment_default.php it was easier to add the PayPal Express code as it was better documented.

It is probably easiest to use winmerge to compare the two files. But I don't have that tool, so did it the hard way.

Essentially, it's probably easiest to start with the new 1.3.7 version as your base code. Search the comparable GCO version for "google". In two of the files, there are only a couple of lines in the GCO version. Copy and paste these lines into the 1.3.7 version. (I'm hedging about which files as I don't have them in front of me.)

In the third file, there is a lot more "google" in the GCO code, and it is well commented. I used this at a base and compared the 1.3.7 version, picking out the PayPal Express sections and copying and pasting them into the CGO version.
I think either way would be about the same.

I placed all merged versions of the template files in the YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder, as specified in the Google Checkout mod. This will keep your mods in override mode and keep your 1.3.7 default template code intact.
