Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

Dear ropu,
Thanks for the snippet. So this is the array I see now, no Merchant ID or key in sight.

 
Array ( [PATH] => /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
[CONTENT_LENGTH] => 2607 
[CONTENT_TYPE] => application/xml 
[DOCUMENT_ROOT] => /home/sally/public_html 
[HTTP_ACCEPT] => application/xml 
[HTTP_EXPECT] => 100-continue 
[HTTP_HOST] => www.roll-over-rover.com 
[REMOTE_ADDR] => 74.52.178.162 [REMOTE_PORT] => 41554 [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /home/sally/public_html/store/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php [SERVER_ADDR] => 74.52.178.162

[SERVER_PORT] => 80 
[SERVER_SOFTWARE] => Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b [GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1
[SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1 
[REQUEST_METHOD] => POST 
[QUERY_STRING] => [REQUEST_URI] => /store/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php 
[SCRIPT_NAME] => /store/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php 
[PHP_SELF] => /store/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php [argv] => Array ( ) [argc] => 0 )

I've been reading up on PHP as CGI rather than Apache - and that 'PHP_AUTH_USER' isn't available? I know some PHP, but I certainly don't know squat about server configurations, so I'm lost here. I'd like to figure it out though. I'm sure others may have this problem in the future as well.
Thanks

from php manual
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserve...riables.server

PHP_AUTH_USER' When running under Apache or IIS (ISAPI on PHP 5) as module doing HTTP authentication this variable is set to the username provided by the user. 'PHP_AUTH_PW' When running under Apache or IIS (ISAPI on PHP 5) as module doing HTTP authentication this variable is set to the password provided by the user.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

The HTTP Authentication hooks in PHP are only available when it is running as an Apache module and is hence not available in the CGI version.

This says it wont work with CGI.

But please try this approach

The $PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW, and $PHP_AUTH_TYPE global variables are available only when PHP is installed as a module. If you're using the CGI version of PHP, you're limited to .htaccess-based authentication or database-driven authentication using HTML forms to input the username and password and PHP to validate matches.

UPDATE #5 from
http://drupal.org/node/28408

There are more tips to hack the CGI module, but is way out of the topic of this forum.

Has anyone come up with a stable, working GC module for 1.3.7 without any problems it creates with paypal EC?

[enchantedlingerie]

does anyone know if this works OK with 1.3.7.
are there any changes that i would need to make to make this compatible?
any info would be great, i just want to make sure i know exactly what to do before i install it.

thank so much

I have google checkout and paypal express checkout working on 1.3.7. I had a customer use the google checkout. It worked fine then. Here are the problems I see with Google Checkout though:

1) I offer insurance as optional. I have created a table and flat rate but the customer will not understand that the table rate is with insurance. Basically, the customer is not seeing the optional order additions.

2) Only 1 shipping option allowed... 1st Class (or priority or express), .... while Priority and Express are unavailable. The customer doesn't really know which shipping they are getting either. I have tried to create shipping files based on the tables.php but get a message
Warning: reset(): Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 279

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 280

I guess it wouldn't work even if I was able to install them?

I guess for now I can put some text on top of the button trying to explain the table vs. flat rate.... don't know how well this will work.

3) I am going to pull my hair out if one of my international customers pays with my US 1st class mail rate.... the Google Checkout module should have the option of allowing for a payment zone like paypal express checkout does.

I think Google Checkout should come back to the cart and finish the order, thus allowing the proper shipping and order additions to be included, if not this then it should allow more shipping options with descriptions.

I can send my \includes\templates\my_template\templates\ files to a zen cart support person if they would like to post them.

For now GC module does not support soft goods, because GC doesnt. But is in the agenda.

Good to hear!

If anyone has any idea on how to make it work or an alternative solution, i can code it.

Ropu,

For some ideas, maybe investigate how the PayPal IPN or PayPal Express for Zen Cart mods manage soft goods.

Unfortunately we had to remove Google Checkout from our shop.

1. Customers were getting confused when we offered one payment method for soft goods yet offered two payment methods for hard goods.

2. Too difficult to manage manually emailing purchased downloads to customers.

No disrespect intended but maybe we can convince the Google guys to throw some additional OS project development funding towards moving the GC for ZC mod development further along.

The day soft goods is supported by GC will be a very good day.

Dear ropu,

Can you tell me which version of GCO module currently supports international shipping ? Thank you.

[eaglewu]

The order of GC is not shown in the admin. I think several people already mentioned this, but I did not see the solution.
I check my sql, then I find the two tables google_orders and google_checkout were created (am I right?). Since all the tables of mine have the prefix. I think add the prefix to these two tables may work. But I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help to write the sql codes?

This may not work out, but I will try it.

Thanks,

OK... maybe i am missing something... I installed the latest version.. now the radio button is gone and the new sandbox url is not showing up... 1.04r is what I dl'd maybe I am a rere... maybe i missed the thread..... but I am lost now...

Yellow, hi

in fact GC module can support intl shipping. but the problem is that GC system does not support them.

When we have any updates, it will be notified here.
