WorldPay Module version 2.0 - Support thread

[PatF]

Just wanted to say thanks to Phillip for his work on the worldpay module. There is another point to this that I dont think many have realised which is this new module is compatible with PHP5 which I believe the old worldpay module wasnt. Considering the next release of Zen Cart will be based on PHP5 it's a godsend to me and my business that Phil has come along. ( All due respect to Duncan - the original author )

I have just uninstalled the old module and put the new one on in less than 10 minutes. Looking good so far in that my own card functioned perfectly. One word of caution to those who had previously changed their "tpl_wp_cc_accept.php" is that it is overwritten by the new module. If you have read the instructions though and backed up everything it's a simple copy and paste from your backup to retrieve it or better still leave it off altogether if you are upgrading.

As I said this looks to be working straight away - I await the first warning etc to see how this handles but I'm confident it will do as advertised. Once it does I will be making a donation to the paypal account [email protected] and I urge all those who have benefited from this fantastic piece of work to do so too.

Thank you for the comments, and for the extra information about tpl_wp_cc_accept.php I shall move that into an "optional" folder and modify the instructions in the next release.

With regards to the transition from php 4 to 5, although this module is fully compatible, a good way to ensure compatibility at the (temporary) cost of speed, is to put

register_long_arrays = On

in either the main php.ini file or there are two other options if your hosting does not allow you access to php.ini

• if running php as an apache module (more notes below)
  
  add the line

  php_value register_long_arrays On

  to your .htaccess file
  
  
• If running php as a CGI module (more notes below)
  
  create a php.ini file in your main website root and in your admin folder (php as CGI reads php.ini from the working folder not the webroot) with
  

  register_long_arrays = On

  inside it and add the following code to .htaccess
  

  <files *.ini>
  order allow,deny
  deny from all
  </files>

The notes on modules and CGI

if you do not know if you are running php as a module or as a cgi, then create a page with

<?php echo php_sapi_name(); ?>

in it and visit it through your web browser on your server, it should tell you if it is running as an apache module or a cgi.

Thank you
Philip.

Hi quick Question but for some reason the module doset apear to be showing mastero's even those these are set on i the accepted credi cards in admin any ideas?

[philip_clarke]

Do you mean, "when the person has left the shop and gone to worldpay's site" or "the sidebox doesn't show" ? Because I'd only be dealing with the sidebox things on this side of worldpay.

Thank you
Philip.

Hi, philip_clarke

would it be possible for you to add surcharge on this mod? say customers wish to use credit card and want to use worldpay, as soon as the customers select the either visa card or master card, the surcharge will be showed seperate (e.g £0.95 at 2.50%) and also added to the total. Also, there should be place in admin where administartor can add surcharge in percentage term, such as, 3.55% for visa card, 2.50% for master card. Becuase we all know the worldpay is very expensive and this surcharge option will be useful.

thank you very much!

[philip_clarke]

That is a seriously great suggestion.

I won't be able to split it by card unfortunately as worldpay doesn't take that information from the module, but I see no reason why we can't change the text dynamically on the module e.g. Pay by WorldPay (2.5%) surcharge and then the percentage would change dependent on the amount fixed in admin by the shopw owner. It's not going to be a quick fix though, because I'll have to integrate it into the payment total side of things (the bit that give quantity discounts and tots up taxes) so I'll have to do a little rooting around to work out the best way to "fix" it. But yes, that is a very good idea.

There is a credit card surcharge module here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=785

What I'll do is check it's compatibility and if necessary release a version that will plugin to the module, or make it "selectable" for worldpay only. Gives me something to do on the cold winter evenings.

Philip.

Right, I've had an in depth look at the credit card surcharge module and I'll have to do an "optional extra" module based on it for worldpay, there's a couple of not so good things about that module, for one thing it's broken with gift voucher's and the author seems to be out of contact (though the fix is posted on the forums wish I'd searched first instead of spent 30 minutes debugging it), anyway what I do not agree with, is that there is no "prior warning" for the extra surcharge, it just pops up if you specify a module to add it to, and it's not really at one with the shop, in the blurb it advertises itself as "discouraging people from paying by certain ways" or something similar and I'd be furious if on the last checkout without any warning, I got nailed for an extra 3%.

Whatever I do will be done by this time next week, I've got to decide whether to bring it into worldpay, or to re-write it to create a more generic module so that one can pick and choose. There is a change I want to make to worldpay anyway, that might go very well with a newer version of a surcharge module.
