Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

jhaase83:

Ropu,

Ok. Once I have done this is there anything else that needs done to get the button on my site? Or will it just be there?

it should be there...

But remember to read README and INSTALLATION files first, most issues are solved there, its easier and faster :D

there are the instructions!

u must activate the module in the Admin UI, get ur Merchant id/key from google checkout, and test the integration.

any other questions , just post them, ill do everything to solve it

ropu

I have the files right now. I went to the set it said to check to see if I got a blank page. This is what I got

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getallheaders() in /home/jhaase83/public_html/googlecheckout/responsehandler.php on line 112

**Now I have to fix this. Do you have any idea what might be wrong? I did not change anything on this file. **

I cannot get the merchant calculations to work. Every shipping option shows up as $0.00.

I just checked my admin and I saw this on the last order I received-
02/13/2007 11:53:34 Pending Google Checkout Order No: xxxxxxxxxxxxMerachnat Calculations: false

Why is the word merchant spelled incorrectly and how to I set it to true?

I am using the version 1.05

Will someone please confirm:
You must use one of the three methods (flat, item, table) to get Google to add on shipping? For all my customers then I must use a table rate now if I use GCO? Can I just use Table Rate for GOC and not give this option to the folks that checkout through the cart normally?

ropu..thanks for your response. My error was a stupid one, i now have the correct files in place and procesed to add our custom shipping modules to the structure of mc_shipping_methods so i added
'upsxml' => array('domestic_types' => array('GND' => 'Ground') ),
'freight' => array('domestic_types' => array('STD' => 'Standard') ),
and i added
'upsxml' => 'UPS Ground',
'freight' => 'RL Freight',
to mc_shipping_methods_names

the shipping modules that I have active in modules shipping are "collect from store", "freight" and "upsxml" (the xml based ups ship module gleaned from oscommerce).

Sadly , when I do a checkout i still only get the "collect from store" displaying in the GCO screen" ... so when i dig into the code in googlecheckout to try and find out if its building the correct <shipping-methods> element in gcheckout.php

the first mql query in shipping....
select configuration_value from configuration where configuration_key = 'MODULE_PAYMENT_GOOGLECHECKOUT_SHIPPING';
returns
"freightSTD_VD:50, upsGND_VD:30, upsxmlGND_VD:30"

im not sure i understand how you determine what modules are activated, as far as I can tell these modules are activated ....

If you can give me any other areas to consider checking as to why GCO wontpick up these realtime methods other than the standard "collect", would be most appreciated

again , running gco latest from svn 1.0.5 and zc 1.3.6 .... the cart is at https://www.fitnessrubber.com

Further to posting 602 above .... help is appreciated getting custom shipping methods to work. We have installed zc 1.3.6 and gco from svn . Installed per instruction, and added ropu..thanks for your response. My error was a stupid one, i now have the correct files in place and procesed to add our custom shipping modules to the structure of mc_shipping_methods so i added
'upsxml' => array('domestic_types' => array('GND' => 'Ground') ),
'freight' => array('domestic_types' => array('STD' => 'Standard') ),
and i added
'upsxml' => 'UPS Ground',
'freight' => 'RL Freight',
to mc_shipping_methods_names

It seems that gco doesn't yet play nice w/ custom shipping mods. Even outputted various variables to see where it breaks...for some reason it sees upsxml as not "$enable"'d in gcheckout.php, and even when we force it to be enabled, the best I did was to show the fallback amount you set in GC admin (after disabling all other shipping mods...hmmm, seems like GC might only show the lowest amt)...like the request to ups didn't work, e.g., I set upsxml in GC admin to "Default Values for..." to 100, but it would only show 100 in the GC checkout screen even though zen showed $13.86 or something like that...it's like GC didn't even bother to do zen's request to UPS to get the shipping for the cart's contents, like you'd see in zen cart's checkout procedure.

Can you elaborate/explain this code a little ... I see where the xml fragment with shipping contets is built, and by all accounts it should build..... can anyeone that understands this code ... copy an existing ship method to make it "custom" and see if they can get t to display in the CCO cart ...

any help on integration of third party custom shipping methods into gco is appreciated. PS ..Im happy to pay to get this taken care of ... ropu ... is there anyone that you can suggest ?

hi michelle_rvc
what does the logs say? or the integration section in google checkout? will be good to know if the error is with the integration or with shipping providers timeing out.

Merchant typo is fixed in the latest version, and in the admin UI->orders, that string is informative to know if the merchant-calculation had been done or not.

That was with versions prior to 1.0.4

version 1.0.5 is intended to use any Zencart shipping module

ropu

Ropu,
Where do I find the link to download the new version. All I can find is the 1.0.4 version.

No, i still don't get any shipping charges unless i put the table rate on there. Maybe let me know what file i edit and what to change/add in there and then i'll have a fully functional google checkout.

anjordan77, hi

Thanks for your comment. This will work because u take out the security measures to authenticate the messages sent. With out that code any one could send spoofed messages to ur responsehandler. Please, have a look to this post where i explain how to set .htaccess for those with PHP over CGI, where Basic Authentication is Not supported.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=329208&postcount=665

Try it and let us know how it worked.

ropu

I'm not too sure how i'm supposed to do that htaccess edit and what not. more steps/directions would be appreciated. If we get mine to working perhaps we can bundle this bad boy up into a zip file for all others to enjoy the module!

Hi Ropu,

If latest release 1.05b1 is working so well and good then why not package it up and make available in Zen Cart downloads area? ;)

Currently 1.04r is latest in Zen Cart downloads area. Or possibly remove 1.04r from Zen Carts downloads area and refer everyone to Google downloads area? 

I'm sure you see that making various versions of this mod available in different areas is really screwing people up. And this is not at all Zen like :)

Can I suggest placing the download URL's in your signature:

"Official" release> go here
"Beta testing" release > go here
"Alpha testing" release > go here
"Woodymon" > go here :wink2:

And please highlight in read or capital letters when a new release is available and where to get it (alpha, beta or offical or otherwise).

Just some suggestions to improve the release "announcement" process.

Woody

I agree with woody

anjordan77:

I agree with woody

Ill do all that by the end of this week.

thank you very much for the advise, sometimes i dont realize that the information i give is not well understood.

ill do my best to make this the simplest way, but take in a account this is not a simple module.

all suggestions are very welcome and taken in care.

thx again

Thank you Ropu.

I did not mean to be criticzing and re-reading my last post I could see how it could be taken that way. My apologies. Just trying to make positive suggestions. It is difficult for us to small-time shop-owners/non-programmers to understand the complexities of what you are doing but we certainly do appreciate the effort and support provided. Again, THANK YOU for developing this mod!

And please do let us know whenever the time comes virtual goods support will be supported by Google Checkout system and support implemented in the mod ;-) Until then Paypal will have the edge for many shopowners :(

Thanks for the heads up.
I have loaded the latest svn files and modified the shipping methods in googlecheckout.php. In GOC I am know getting the correct options but associated prices are whatever the defaults are set to in the Zen GCO module. It does not appear to be pulling calculated values just falling back to the defaults. Any ideas or ways you can think of to troubleshoot?

BTW - Does anyone have this working properly?

By deleting and reinstalling everything last night including the tables, I got it to work partly. Now I am getting only USPS rates not UPS. The error log now says that it is a timeout error.

Is there some where I can go to get the 1.0.5 version in the meantime? Or do I just need to learn patiance and wait? Never has been one of my better qualities. :D

See links in Ropu's signature.

Ok Now I need help with this.
