Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

[fitnessbymarilyn]

Well I am not sure if Google has these things or not but I assume they do as these sites were designed for professional/educational/IT/corporations with a smaller version for home/small business...Google is my host and my domain is with Go Daddy. I think you are the one who told me Google doesn't support CSS so I uninstalled all of your files/logos/ etc. (Zen Cart) that I have spent the past week day and night installing.....I installed PHP5 to my computer to be sure as well.

Guess I'll just have to add Buy Now Buttons on my Google Checkout/Google Website and forget Zen Cart. Appears it is not compatible with Google? I sure do like it though!

If the choices are to dump ZC cause it dosnt work with your host,
or dump host for one of the most powerful shopping carts,

I would have to say dump the host and keep the cart.

So the new version of the google checkout module is released> I thought it was going to be v1.4.5?

Anyway does :

Send Zencart's Credentials to new customers created with GC

Now mean that it sends the customers their login password. Sounds like it, but just wanted to check someone had tried and tested it.

If this is a beta is it ok to upgrade from my v1.4 or shall i wait

Cheers

Hey just looked at the installation files and it looks a bit of a night mare to upgrade.

The only bit I really want to upgrade/fix is this customers getting their log in details.

Is there just one part of this upgrade i can cut in to fix that??

I just went through and updated a really old version of GC that had been disabled.

I went through the manual update process, and when I go Modules -> Payment I get the error:

Warning: googlecheckout(/home/rhutchis/public_html//googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php) [function.googlecheckout]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rhutchis/public_html/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php on line 44

Warning: googlecheckout(/home/rhutchis/public_html//googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php) [function.googlecheckout]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rhutchis/public_html/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php on line 44

Fatal error: googlecheckout() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/rhutchis/public_html//googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rhutchis/public_html/includes/modules/payment/googlecheckout.php on line 44

I've tried changing permissions on the referenced files to 777, but there was no change in the result.

Also, just for fun, I tried removing one of the "/" in line 44 to get rid of the double "//" in the path, but that also had no effect (other than making the path "look right").

Any clues on what I missed?

What about the permissions on the /googlecheckout folder?

[rhutchison]

That's genius!

I changed it to 777 (was 750) and the error went away.

Thank you!

Now, is it okay to leave it at 777 or is there a more secure permission level that should still allow it to work?

[Chuckl]

No idea, I don't use the mod. 755 is the usual default setting for most folders, so I'd try that

Rgds,

[rhutchison]

Excellent. 755 still allows it to work.

Thanks again!
