Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Woodymon]

I can't even get the stupid button to show up on page 2 of the checkout process. Paypal is there and the text for GC is there but no radio button for GC. I have read this entire thread and several others...

This issue is fairly well documented in this thread, but I can understand it is difficult to find info in such a long thread.

The GC pmt method is NOT suppose to appear on step 2 of page. This was suppose to be repaired in the last mod release. However the GC label still displays (without the radio button). So it is a bug in the mod.

I don't have a link in front of me but a "how-to" edit the appropriate file to fix this issue in this thread. (last month or so).

By default, the only pages the GC button should display is on the login and shopping cart pages.

The only problem that I KNOW exists is that I have a gogglecheckoutfolder in two locations
1. in my www/htdocs folder and
2. in my www/htdocs/zencart folder

Which is the real working one and which can I delete?

/htdocs = /public_html = webroot

Delete the folder in htdocs. /googlecheckout belongs in your shoproot (zencart folder) not your webroot. (Unless the shoproot is also your webroot, which is how some merchants have set-up Zen Cart)

Ok and yet another issue I wasnt expecting, if type:
http://www.got-its.com/zencart/googl...nsehandler.php
into my browser I get a pop up asking for a username and password.
I tried all the ones I have for my site and my server and none of them seem to work????????????

On the login screen it shows the GC button greyed out with the words not available for these items on the button. My problem with it showing up there is if a customer comes to the site and logs in and then shops that button is useless anyway.

There is no button or text on the shopping cart screen for GC at all. PayPal shows up just fine but not GC.

Yes it is correct for PayPal to show up on step 2 page, just not GC. See my other post regarding removing the GC label from the GC step 2 page (the template file that needs editing is tpl_checkout_payment_default.php).

If no GC button shows up on the shop cart page then you have not correctly uploaded the tpl_shopping_cart_default template file that comes with the mod.

One thing to note regarding the mod template files: The two files in the mod are for ZC v1.36 (another bug that was not repaired in last version or in the documentation). Search the last two months of this thread and you will find sources for the correctly edited versions of the ZC 1.37 template files.

If the GC button on the login page remains disabled, and you are certain you have items in your shopping cart, then the mod is not configured correctly. There is much helpful troubleshooting advice in both the mod readme files and this thread. First repair the above template issues then begin troubleshooting the mod configuration and post questions as you have them (first be sure to read this thread, at least the last several months of it).

Questions to ask:

1. Did you set up .htaccess on the /googlecheckout directory (with htpasswd)?
If so you should know the password.

If not..
2. Are you running PHP over CGI?
There is info in the readme on this, but it is difficult to understand.

Do you have SSL installed and Zen Cart properly configured for SSL?

Installed successfully - GC option is available

In my cart I get 2 options
1 Checkout
-or use_
Google Checkout

If I select GC - works fine.

Problem is with other option:

when I get to page 2 in the checkout process I see this:

GoogleCheckout

Paypal IPN

Check/Money Order

How do I get rid of the Google reference within this option? If I de-select the GC from the payment module - the reference goes away, but so does GC option all together.

Help appreciated.

regards,

skratch

cart is still in progress...so be kind

Woodymon, do you know if Ropu still has plans to support and provide future releases of the GC mod? I haven't seen any posts by him in a while.

I really want to thank you for providing support for all the questions that people have about this mod. If it weren't for you many questions would go answered and this thread would pretty much be dead.

I'm really surprised I don't see more interest and support in this mod by people in the community who really know php and are more familiar with how ZenCart really works. If this were the case, we wouldn't really have these issues.
Unfortunately, I've noticed most of us interested in this really don't have much php knowledge and therefore cannot contribute as much as we'd like to.

I see many questions being asked and answered over and over again, I realize many of these issues with simple fixes would be avoided if the installation and readme file were written better, perhaps even combine the installation and readme file into just one file.

Appreciate your kind words. But much of what I've learned and communicated here has come from Ropu, Isaac, Doug and all the previous developers and others whom previously provided support in this thread.

Yes to all of your questions and points.

Regarding the documentation, the angle is to generate different types of documentation and linking the documentation so it can be easily referenced, searched and navigated. That of course means putting the documentation online!

We are currently working on solutions. An announcement will be coming soon.

You were previously sent you a PM asking if you wanted to be involved but no response was received. The offer still stands. Commitment and dedication is a requirement.

It is a bug. Suggested fixes were posted in this thread during the last month.

Hi,

I've searched high and low here for an answer but can't find anything, so apologies if this has already been asked.

I have GC installed and working on a test site but I can't get it to appear on the live site. As far as I can see everything is the same.

As soon as the code goes in to tpl_shopping_cart_default.php I lose the bottom of the page.

This is what the source throws up.

</div>
<!-- ** END PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT ** -->
<!-- * BEGIN GOOGLE CHECKOUT * -->

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I been on this for about a week now and it's doing my head in.

thanks

Do I understand that you have the same code on 2 different sites, but the live site code doesn't work?

What versions of zen-cart and GCO are you using?

Have you used a file comparison utility like winmerge to check the 2 files? Have you made any modifications to the files?

Thanks,
