I would be completely immersed into coding and wouldn't have any time to provide support

That's probably how ropu feels...

Glad my pint was understood. I was being cynical for lack of a better word.

If you are an awesome developer and do not provide support with your code, then the value of your code is reduced.

On the other hand you could be top dog support specialist, but not have any code to support.

To be successful developers are best served when they are able to maintain a happy medium (in effort) put forth to development and support. And provide support volunteers the tools, information and feedback so they can better help others. Then the developer can focus on coding.

Otherwise might as well play air guitar for your own enjoyment.

I think the last post Ropu made was #1319, there have been almost 100 new posts since then.

Has anyone visited the project's home page: http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-zencart/

I might be wrong, but I think I remember having seen 'Ropu' listed under the Project Owners. When I visit that page again, Ropu is not listed anymore so probably he's not working on it anymore. Hope I'm wrong.

I discovered ropu has been posting all last week and the last several days to the Google Checkout Developers Forum at http://groups.google.com/group/googl...velopers-forum

So I suspect he has abandoned us in this forum.

Thus for assistance best that we post issues to the relevant developers forums or one of the Google Checkout Merchants Forums at http://groups.google.com/group/googl...erchants-forum

And you might want to post here at the same time.

When posting to the Google Checkout forums be sure to announce which version of Zen Cart you are running (hopefully ZC 1.37) and the version of the Google Checkout For Zen Cart mod (e.g. 1.3RC2 by ropu).

At this time I think it would be best that each of us to take stock of the issues we are currently observing with the Google Checkout for Zen Cart mod.

That is, please post which ZC and GC functions currently work properly for you (using the latest 1.3RC3 mod and ZC 1.37) and which do not?

Then from this we can generate a priority list/wishlist and forward to Google to see if they can assist.

So please post your issue(s).

If you have already posted your issue to this thread, and the issue continues, then please just post back a brief statement of your ongoing issue, along with a link URL to your previous posts. No need to repeat everything. However please do provide any new observations/details that might help the mod developers/Google support solve your issue.

Please take the time to be very clear with problem report submission.

Once we obtain enough shop-owner feedback here in this thread, we can compile an updated list, and present to Google.

I'll post my list soon.

Woody -

Any news on whether we can get this thread its own category in User Contributions?

I would be willing to take this thread and parse it into separate threads for issues and general topics if we could get a single place to put it all. I don't see much point in splattering all that work throughout the Contributed Payment Modules category though.

I think this is and should be the most relevant place for the GC module for ZenCart, even the project's home page links to this thread for the discussion of the module.

Not sure why Ropu or someone else from the team has not responded yet.

There's a place in the project's home to report issues http://code.google.com/p/google-chec...rt/issues/list
Note sure if you'd a better and quicker response posting there.

Ropu informed me a week and a half ago that Zen Cart team replied back to his inquiry and would only allow a dedicated board if and when the GC mod is integrated into Zen Cart core.

I responded to ropu set up a Google Groups discussion group dedicated to suporting the mod but I did not hear back.

It would be so much easier to follow thee various issues if we had a board supporting multiple threads.

I agree.

So I'm inquiring on setting up a Google Groups discussion board for mod support

Will be in touch.

OK. The newly launched Google Checkout for Zen Cart mod support group is now open at
http://groups.google.com/group/googl...rt-mod-support

This will allow us to support each other in a multi-threaded support forum environment. But we'll be sure to post back to this thread any mod version release/update announcements and other special announces. (or post to a new thread as this one is awfully long).

Hopefully if/when this mod becomes part of the Zen Cart core, the Zen Cart team will be able to dedicate a support area for supporting this mod. If not then possibly Google Checkout product managers/support team can integrate the new group into their official Google Checkout support area.

So please begin posting to the new group by initiating distinct threads for distinct issues. If you have suggestions for the group please post in the "Support group suggestions" thread. And to make things easy in regards to reconciling with posts in this thread please try to use the same/similar nick as you've been using here (but of course that is not a requirement). At this point you must be logged in to immediately post to the group. Anonymous posts are moderated.

Hope this helps.
