Create a new module for International Checkout payment module

[icecold]

LOL - sounds like it is absolutely interfering with the standard checkout process, by bypassing it entirely!
I don't know how GC does it.
The PayPal button is simply drawn within the template where it's required.

Lol, it does

ok, so that's std way GC process_button() is empty!

BTW is there an easier such as writing the code in a separate file and require it or inside the class?

Because in my case I just need to write button the way Paypal does, but there is no need for a handler.

I don't see why you couldn't do it that way.

I don't see why you couldn't do it that way.

I read Paypal files, and the Paypal template button file, and is calling ipn_main_handler.php, linking to it,

<div id="PPECbutton" class="buttonRow">
  <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link('ipn_main_handler.php', 'type=ec', 'SSL', true, true, true); ?>"><img src="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_EC_BUTTON_IMG ?>" alt="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TEXT_BUTTON_ALTTEXT; ?>" /></a>
</div>

so in my case do you you think if I link directly to my payment class will work? Won't it try to write to CONFIGURE table and return an error?

I know you can instantiate a class, but my understanding of PHP Objects is still limited, so I am not sure how that will behave, If that specific method will make a new conflict ... or if I can have new instance, and don't worry about it ...

Sorry I forgot to mention this code is inside Paypal's button template, the tpl_shopping_cart_default, just links to this template.

Yes, but that's just the URL that the button goes to when you click it. You don't need to use ipn_main_handler or anything like that. Use whatever you want for your unique needs. PayPal does way more than what you're talking about, so has only marginal similarities to your needs.

ok I managed to display the nice button ... but when I click the link I got a permission problem ...

I fixed the problem but now I get a blank page I created a handler, where the class is instantiated and echoed some vars inside the class, but the output is a black screen ...

I draw the button and call the handler using a link

<div id="ICbutton" class="buttonRow">
  <a href="<?php echo zen_href_link('ic_main_handler.php', 'type=ic', 'NONSSL', true, true, true); ?>"><img src="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_BUTTON_IMG; ?>" alt="<?php echo MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_TEXT_BUTTON_ALTTEXT; ?>" /></a>
</div>

Here is my handler's code(I am not sure those requires are needed, tested both ways and same result, blank page):

/**
 * handle International Checkout processing:
 */
if (isset($_GET['type']) && $_GET['type'] == 'ic') {
  // this is an ic handler request
//  require('includes/application_top.php');
//  require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'payment.php');
 
  // See if the ic module is enabled.
  if (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_STATUS') && MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_STATUS == 'True') {
    $ic_module = 'ic';
    // init the payment object
    $payment_modules = new ic();
    $payment_modules->ic();
    //Test class internal vars
    
    echo $payment_modules->test; // Test variable assigned with a value to check output
    echo $payment_modules->code;
    echo $payment_modules->title;
    echo $payment_modules->description;
    echo $payment_modules->enabled;
    
    
   
   
    }
  } 

I even created a $test var inside the class and echoed it in the handler along with some variables, to see if I can get some output but it's not working ...

[icecold]

I can't get any values from the vars inside the shopping cart, inside my method process_button I tested the $_SESSION['cart'] and it returned true for both is set and is an object ...
but $products is still empty ...

 function process_button() {
    global $products, $currencies;
    //Test and return
      if (isset($_SESSION['cart'])) {echo 'Session variable is already created.';}
else {echo 'Session variable is not yet created.';}
if (is_object($_SESSION['cart'])) {echo 'Session variable is an object type.';}
else {echo 'Session variable is not an object type.';} 
    echo"<br />";
   
   
    $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();
    echo $products; 
    return; // test if anything is inside $products so far is empty 

[DrByte]

get_products() will return an array ... which you can't display by merely using echo(). You would need to echo print_r($products, TRUE) if you wanted to see the array contents that way

ok, I
made a modification but now I don't get anything from that function ...

function process_button() {
            global $products, $currencies, $results;

            if (isset($_SESSION['cart'])) {
                echo 'Session variable is already created.';
            } else {  
                echo 'Session variable is not yet created.';
            }
            if (is_object($_SESSION['cart'])) {
                echo 'Session variable is an object type.';
            } else { 
                echo 'Session variable is not an object type.';
            } 
          
       echo"<br />";   
            $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();  
            $results = print_r($products, true);
            echo $results;
            return;  

        } 

I am getting an empty string ... so far ...
My output is:

ic
Admin title for the module International Checkout Payments
Admin description for the module International Checkout Payments
True, the number 1 means is enabled
products in cart:


and it's coming from my modified Paypal IPN handler

if (isset($_GET['type']) && $_GET['type'] == 'ic') {
  // this is an ic handler request
 require_once('includes/modules/payment/ic.php');
 //require_once('includes/modules/pages/shopping_cart/header_php.php');
 require('includes/application_top.php');
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'payment.php');
 include('includes/languages/english/modules/payment/ic.php');
 
  // See if the ic module is enabled.
  if (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_STATUS') && MODULE_PAYMENT_IC_STATUS == 'True') {
    $ic_module = 'ic';
    // init the payment object
    $payment_modules = new ic();
    $payment_modules->ic();
    //Test class internal vars
    
    //$products=$_SESSION['cart'];
    //echo $products;
    echo $payment_modules->code . "<br />";
    echo "Admin title for the module " . $payment_modules->title . "<br />";
    echo "Admin description for the module " . $payment_modules->description . "<br />";
    echo "True, the number " . $payment_modules->enabled . " means is enabled<br />";
    echo "products in cart: " . $payment_modules->results . "<br />";
    
    
   
   
    }
  }
