Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[jnetmcp]

Ok. So I went back and read previous posts and figured out that Google Checkout was not suppose to be an option button. I have deleted my custom template tpl_checkout_payment_default.php file, but I still see the GoogleCheckout text on this page. I know I have to modify this file in order to remove this text, but could someone who has done this please post what the modification should be? This would be a blessing.

Thanks!

I have installed the Google Checkout module. Everything works great when checking out if a customer chooses the Google Checkout button icon button, however, if they wait until given the option button for payment methods and choose Google Checkout, it doesn't work!

Anyone else had this problem and know a fix? I have already had to remove the PayPal module because it wouldn't return the ordering information via email to me, so I can't afford to lose Google Checkout too!

Assuming you're using the latest version of Google Checkout, you shouldn't have the problem you described. Please read what has been suggested to zgraphics. It appears you both have similar issues.

You shouldn't have to remove Paypal either. It appears that wasn't installed/configured correctly as well.

Ropu, would like to try it, but there seems to be something wrong with the demo at this time, the GC button appears grayed out no matter what I add to the cart.

Have you installed USPS and checked if international calculated shipping works?
USPS is the international prefered shipping method by most, it is much more cost effective and with less hassles.

Tj, may be that some one missconfigured the Admin UI, try using the red Restore button in the Admin Area.

Also look that all shipping have the same tax configured.

Does anyone know where to configure taxes for this mod? I have never been able to get tax to work.

We currently collect tax for two states. Taxes works just fine when using any other payment module BUT googlecheckout.

Hi, to solve the XSS bug in zencart (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64115 )


replace in admin/orders.php (from the GC module package, not the original) line 476

     for ($j = 0, $k = sizeof($order->products[$i]['attributes']); $j < $k; $j++) {
          echo '<br /><nobr><small>&nbsp;<i> - ' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['option'] . ': ' . nl2br($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value']);
          if ($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['price'] != '0') echo ' (' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['prefix'] . $currencies->format($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['price'] * $order->products[$i]['qty'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']) . ')';
          if ($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['product_attribute_is_free'] == '1' and $order->products[$i]['product_is_free'] == '1') echo TEXT_INFO_ATTRIBUTE_FREE;
          echo '</i></small></nobr>';
        } 

with

        for ($j = 0, $k = sizeof($order->products[$i]['attributes']); $j < $k; $j++) {
          echo '<br /><nobr><small>&nbsp;<i> - ' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['option'] . ': ' . nl2br(zen_output_string_protected($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['value']));
          if ($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['price'] != '0') echo ' (' . $order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['prefix'] . $currencies->format($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['price'] * $order->products[$i]['qty'], true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']) . ')';
          if ($order->products[$i]['attributes'][$j]['product_attribute_is_free'] == '1' and $order->products[$i]['product_is_free'] == '1') echo TEXT_INFO_ATTRIBUTE_FREE;
          echo '</i></small></nobr>';
        }

Isaccola, you said "In step 2 it will display a static google checkout text. If you do not want this text you will need to modify the tpl_checkout_payment_default.php to remove like. You will notice the static text is not on our step 2 page on our site."

This is what I am trying to do. I want to remove the static text. Just wondering if you could post the changes you made to the tpl_checkout_payment_default.php file to make this not show.

Thanks.

Hi Ropu, you seem to have two zencart demos http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/zen_demo1 and http://demo.globant.com/~brovagnati/zen_demo2

Which is the one you'd like us to use or does it make any difference which one we test?

Also, please try to get the USPS international calculated rates working. Almost everyone prefers to use USPS internationally. Very few choose to use private couriers such as FedEx, UPS, DHL. USPS is the preferred one.

Which version of Google Checkout did you last install? Version number please.

I posted to this thread recently several different methods to solve this simple predicament. Including the code to edit out, if you decide to go that extreme route. Please read the last week of this thread to become up-to-date.

If you are certain you have overwritten the checkout file in your custom templates directory with the same file provided in the latest Google Checkout 1.3RC2 package, but the Google checkout radio button is still showing up on Step 2 page of the checkout process (select payment method), then you MUST have previously (incorrectly) overwritten the same file in your templates_default directory.

So your should upload the stock/default Zen Cart 1.37 file of the same name to to your templates_default directory and everything should be hunky dory (assuming you have not edited that file for any other purpose except for the previous version of Google Checkout).

EVERYONE... If you are going to use/mange the Google Checkout mod, then you MUST first learn how template overrides work. There is just not getting around that simple basic requirement. So PLEASE go the the Zen Cart FAQ to learn that basics of template overrides. Then give Google Checkout a whirl.

If you decide template overrides is not your cup of tea then I recommend you hand off the privilege of configuring Google Checkout to someone that understands the basic overrides concept.

Thanks,
Woody

Hi Ropu, I have configured and tried both demos and this is what I get:

Screenshot zen_demo1:


Screenshot zen_demo2:


As you can see, only fixed rates work in zen_demo1.
In zen_demo2, it does display FedEx international, but not calculated as it has $0, which most likely means it's timing out or some other issue.

Could you double check this? Possible show a screenshot of this working?

Anyway, regarding international shipping, I really don't care much for FedEx or UPS, at the most only about 1% of the international customers request those services. The great majority of international customers want to use USPS. You should give more priority to getting USPS international calculated rates than the other private couriers.
