Need help with Googel checkout

Hi All,

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a. I currently have Paypal IPN installed and I have been trying install Google Checkout. Can someone please tell me where I have been going wrong.

I have done exactly the following;

  1. Downloaded the zip file for Google Checkout.

  2. Unzipping it you get 3 folders (admin, includes and googlecheckout) and a few files (.project, changelog, installation, readme, states, upgrade)

  3. I am using File Zilla to upload the files. So, I uploaded the admin folder to admin folder and the includes to the includes folder and the google checkout folder to the main root folder (public_html).

  4. Apart from the above I have not done anything. I have logged in to payment modules and cannot see Google Checout there.

I am guesing I have probably missed something or not doing something that is most likely obvious to others.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Ryan

Hi All,
2. Unzipping it you get 3 folders (admin, includes and googlecheckout) and a few files (.project, changelog, installation, readme, states, upgrade)

Are these three folders contained in a folder specifically for google checkout (i.e. I created a folder titled googlecheckout and placed those folders and files in it.)? Have you opened and read the INSTALLATION and README files? To do so just double click them (independantly of course) like you do to open a file normally, when the Open with window pops up with a list of programs just click on the program you use to edit PHP/HTML files (its fine if you don't know them) like notepad, notepad++, etc, then click ok. You will want to read them both over throughly.

  1. I am using File Zilla to upload the files. So, I uploaded the admin folder to admin folder and the includes to the includes folder and the google checkout folder to the main root folder (public_html).

Be careful with File Zilla to not use it to much because I had problems with it because it connects to your website's server with each file instead of keeping a connection with all folders/files within your website/ftp account. It is fine if you don't use it all the time, but when you do if you manage several file/folders it may overload you website's server blocking you from connection until you contact your website host and ask them to unblock it; this doesn't effect people connecting to your website from other computers only the one you use File Zilla with. You will want to upload the file where you have uploaded them but not the whole folders. To do this only select the file(s), not the folders they are contained in, then upload them to their appropriate folder of your website under public_html. The google checkout folder that came with the zip folder is fine to upload altoghether as a whole folder, not each file indepentantly, because it is a new folder. Hopefully you have backed up your Zen Cart folder from you website to you computer prior to trying to upload google checkout to your Zen Cart on your website because if you uploaded the folders admin and includes from the google checkout module as whole folders instead of uploading the files within them you have currupted you Zen Cart and if you did not back it up then you will have to do a fresh install of Zen Cart. Assuming you did back it up, and you did upload the folders admin and includes from the google checkout module folder just go to where admin and includes folders are located within you main Zen Cart folder on your computer and do a fresh upload of them to Zen Cart on you website. You will notice in the INSTALLATION file of the main folder of the google checkout module that there are instructions for a fresh installation of Zen Cart and instructions for if you have installed any modules. So since you Paypal IPN installed you will need to scroll down in this file and use the instructions of Option B. If you need help locating any files or any other assistance just ask I will do what I can.
