Google Checkout and Advanced Shipper integration - help!!

Hello there,

I recently bought Advance Shipper from Ceon Dev. Basically, the shipping calculations are being picked up but by Shipping Calculator, but not shown to the customer at checkout. I reckon some code needs adding to support this module.

I am grateful for any help with this, I hope it is possible to pass the shipping over to Google Checkout.

Thanks in advance,

Heathenmagic

Yes, indeed you can. Simply run the shipping_generator utility that came with Google Checkout. It builds a new list of all the shipping modules you have enabled (including new mods.) Cut and paste the new list into the ../googlecheckout/shipping_methods.php file so GC will know about them.

Open the README with your web browser and follow the instructions.

Hello Gobrinton,

Thankyou kindly for your reply, appreciate that. I have the file mentioned set up, and it works for the other shipping modules, like Big Royal Mail and it picks up my Free Shipping options.

Google Checkout just doesn't like Advanced Shipper. Maybe it is because the Configuration for Advanced Shipper doesn't take place in modules/shipping . It has an entry there, but that is just to activate / deactivate the shipping methods I defined in its own menu.

Hope this makes sense, it is a complicated situation with Google Checkout. I really hope someone has come across this before.

Sincerely,

Russ

Recommend contacting Ceon for support on their commercially available mods.

I had contacted CEON about this. Apparently there just isn't enough interested in making Advanced Shipper work with Google Checkout because Conor hasn't heard many requests for it.

It appears that it's a significant amount of work to get the two modules to cooperate. If enough people want this and let CEON know, maybe he'll consider working on making it compatible.

Let him know at http://dev.ceon.net/

By the way, Advanced Shipper a terrific module if you have complicated shipping rules when you sell a diverse range of products that come in all sizes, shapes and weights. Saved me from pulling the rest of my hair out.
