Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Woodymon]

Okay, I have tried everything I know to do. I installed google checkout...fixed everything I needed to fix in the files and I have an error I don't know what to do with. Any help is much appreciated!

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare compare() (previously declared in D:\hosting\member\tsjohnsonllc\site1\admin\includes\functions\extra_functions\ad ded_function_for_google_checkout.php:188) in D:\hosting\member\tsjohnsonllc\site1\admin\googlecheckout\gcheckout.php on line 295

this error is in admin/modules/payments/google

THANKS!!

It appears that you may have uploaded /googlecheckout directory to the zen cart admin directory. /googlecheckout should be it's own subdirectory in your shop root.

And you may have also incorrectly uploaded other mod files to your admin directory.

I previously posted in this thread a graphical diagram of the mod directory structure.

I apoligize, I have looked been searching this thread for hours now, I uploaded to admin/googlecheckout is this not in my shop root? I am very new to this stuff (2 weeks!!) so I am still learning terms. If admin/googlecheckout is correct, what else could I have done wrong? I looked through all my files and followed the instructions to a T (I thought!) I have the latest verision of googlecheckout and the latest verision of zen-cart.

helpme, you uploaded to the wrong directory. Delete all the files you uploaded and upload to your shop's root directory. 'admin' is not the root directory, the folder containing 'admin' is your shop's root directory.

zencart/ <--shop's root directory
zencart/admin <--subdirectory

First you have installed Zen Cart on a server running Windows which might be problematic in itself. And your hosting environment utilizes non-standard naming conventions to directory names.

At any rate, read the full directory path in your error message.
\hosting\member\tsjohnsonllc\site1\admin\googlecheckout\

It is difficult for us to determine the directory structure which you installed Zen Cart into without a URL, but from what I can determine from your error message...

The path to your webroot is: \hosting\member\tsjohnsonllc\site1
(think of "site1" as equivalent to /public_html directory which is the common name for the "webroot").

And it appears you installed your shop directly into your webroot, so your shoproot is the same as your webroot.

(Generally it is better to install your shop in a subdirectory off your webroot, otherwise setup is more complex).

This is generally how the Zen Cart directory structure is set up:

webroot ( /public_html)
  |
  |- shoproot (/your_shop)
         |
         |- /googlecheckout
         |- /admin
         |- /includes
         |

But in your case, since you installed the shop directory in your webroot:

webroot ( \site1)
      |
      |- \googlecheckout
      |- \admin
      |- \includes
      |

NOTE: If you have not done much work yet I would create a directory in /site1, and then load Zen Cart to that directory and do a fresh install (or you could easily move the zen cart install to the new subdirectory...if you knew what directories to move... if you do this you would need to edit both your configure files.)

Then upload template files to your custom template override directory, but NOT to your /templates_default directory.

If you're still not certain what any of this means, then you will need to learn about template overrides. Consult the FAQ (and the wiki) if more info on overrides or other general Zen Cart topics are needed. And please post your general questions to the "General Questions" or "New Installation" forums. Then when ready come back and post your Google Checkout mod for Zen Cart questions here.

Good luck,
Woody

When you click on the actual error on the google checkout integration tab, what's the full error description? Are you sure your sandbox is pointing to the right responsehandler.php? Are you using your sandbox merchant id (which is different than production)? Did you set the url callback for sandbox to http or https and if https do you have one of Googlecheckout supported SSL installed?

Have you configured shipping accurately in both Zen Cart admin and googlecheckout? When you test your respondhandler using the test tool did you get any error?

After spending few hours on the forum I kindly ask for assistance - We having same problem - GC go well there is 2 main issues:
1. Zen back-office is not updated
2. Shipping get only the fixed rates (for caces do not have connection with service)

Install on 1.3.7 Apach server with PHP, Server API:CGI/FastCGI GC Ver.v1.3RC2 with SSL that was tested. Using sandbox account
*** We have Prefix for the tables GC did not add the table with the prefix *** .
The responsehandler.php looks ok and we see the data in the response_message.log.
We did set the URL call back but it does not direct automatically and it go to the main page.
We have UPS shipping module is installed.
When trying to run the includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php we get the following:
Fatal error: Class googlecheckout: Cannot inherit from undefined class base in /home/content/a/r/e/aregev/html/Zen-Demo_3_7/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php on line 26.

Please advise how can we get from this situation.
Appreciate Zen Help!!!
May I suggest that each forum will be divided in a way that each specific Thread will be separated by some divider or other method.

I installed teh google checkout module and added it as the only way to checkout and it works great.....but.....The info doesn't ever seem to get to google checkout. I keep checking my google checkout and it never shows any orders although I placed 3 orders. Maybe I am doing it wrong because when I placed the test orders it never asked me for credit card info or even google sign in info....how does it know where to charge the money?

MI-Designs.net/zen/ is the address if anyone wants to try it.

If you have a Google Checkout with radio button on your checkout page, you are using wrong checkout_payment template. You need to fix this. Your google checkout button works just fine put your checkout page is where your problem is. Unless you want your customers to get products for free you need to fix that template. Simply deleting the one in your custom folder should fix this problem. If you all do some reading backwards you will see that this issues you're raising has been over-discussed.

I got things working now. The Checkout with google works....Now here is a question. If you look at my site mi-designs.net/zen/ and add something to a cart you'll see some buttons...

- Continue Shopping - - Update Cart - -Check Out -
- Estimate Shipping -


or use
Google Checkout



I want to make it that -Check Out- button and Google Checkout button point to the same place, the google checkout button location.....or even better, how do I get rid of the first Check Out button?

Basically, you ONLY want to offer Google Checkout as the only payment option even though Google Checkout have more than a dozen bugs?
