Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[Woodymon]

I have now upgraded to v1.4Alpha

Getting this message in the repsonsehandler file

Failed to Get Basic Authentication Headers

This thread is for mod v1.3 support only. For v1.4 support please post to new support forum.

False alarm guys, I just pinned it down. Thanks guys.

Please share what you did to resolve so others can learn. Thanks.

I know if you order through the regular zen cart, you can create order slips, but is there anyway to create this when someone goes through google checkout?

Since GCo does not have any way to print a nice invoice, I thought maybe someone worked one up?

Not sure what you man by "order slips". Do you mean "invoices" or "packing slips"? Both can be printed within ZC admin order details pages as normal.

Something I'd only expect from PayPal.

Yes indeed. Google can be heavy handed and not provide comprehensible explanations. I've dealt with that in regards to AdWords.

Please tell me if there is a way to not make GCO available as a payment option for a specific product only. If its obvious, I'm sorry I missed it.

In latest 1.4x version Ropu has provided support for auto disabling GC button when "virtual" products are in the shopping cart.

I suspect the same code could be reutilized to disable the button when testing other DB values. You would need to assign an existing field with common data for the products you don't want to be ordered through GC for this to work. There are various methods to manually add a custom field. Use the short description mod as a guide (or use the short description field itself for this purpose).

Recommend adding your request to the wishlist on the new support forum for the 1.4 mod.

I would like to see out of the box support by Zen Cart to support extra additional fields for each product (out of the box support). I suspect this idea is already under consideration and to be implemented in future product_type architecture update.

This would make mod developers and merchants who wish to make quick and easy shop customization much more happy.

Has anyone tried GC with a discount, coupon or GV? I was just wondering if it went through ok.

v1.4 supports OT based discounts.

Hello Everyone.

I moved from OSC to ZEN Cart a month ago. Dont know much about PHP+MYSQL but atleast confident enough to install a couple of thing on my shared hosting website. Lets cut the crap. My server does not have CURL installed. The provider is one.com. Without CURL i cant install google or paypal checkout. My question s is there any way around to pass curl and use google checkout? YOur help is very much appreciated in advance.

God bless.

Well apparently my changes in my previous post didn't work.

As I understand it we should protect the folder and file so that someone doesn't put whatever they want in there.

Plus we don't someone finding their way in and getting our customers info.

So if you have folders without .htaccess files you could be at risk of a hacker attack.

Anyone have an idea how to solve this problem, other than just taking out the htaccess all together?

Ropu has stated he will strive for an updated "stable" 1.4 release by end of the month. But in reality it will be a "beta" version and the beta will be ready when it is ready. And that means it will ready sooner when enough merchants test the current version and provide feedback. I have current v1.4-alpha2 running on a live shop. I have posted some of my observations on the new 1.4 support forum.

BTW this thread is for 1.3. Please post v1.4 related questions in the new mod support forum, including any "wishlist" items. The mod developer(s) are no longer actively reading this forum.

Woody

Thanks Woody. Looking forward to 1.4 beta. I will post to the wishlist on the google group.

Thanks Woodymon for the reply. It gives me some insight. I hope this isuue can be resolved soon. I would appreciate hearing from others as well as to their ideas.
