Google Checkout module for ZC 1.3.x (beta)

Hi Everyone,

I've installed and used GCO successfully for quite a while now ... I just upgraded to:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

I installed a fresh copy of the new GoogleCheckout 1.4.7, and ever since doing so, it's broken.

GoogleCheckout seems to work from the cart page, but if you choose to bypass Google Checkout and go to the regular checkout, the login page is broken.

Underneath the "registered users - sign in here", and then it says "Or use:" ...

See here:
https://www.getskinsnow.com/index.php?main_page=login

Of course, it will be OK without any products in the cart, so to re-create the error:

1. add a product to cart
2. instead of clicking the GoogleCheckout button, click "Continue to Checkout"
3. there you'll see the issue on the login screen ...

from there on, it's broken - doesn't even display the footer. I've re-uploaded and re-uploaded the template files over and over - they are in my custom template folder where they've always been - I even tried them in the /classic folder.

If I disable GoogleCheckout, the login page loads fine.

I've left it in "broken state" in hopes that someone can help me figure this out quickly - this is a live site, and I usually get several orders per day, but haven't gotten orders in 2+ days, so I knew something must be wrong.

PLEASE HELP!
Thanks
Fred

Why this module is not included in the default installation of Zencart?
Sorry to ask to ask, I'm just new to zen-cart!:smile:

Hello all -

I had hoped to get someone looking at this overnight, but I can't keep my store broken this long, so I disabled GoogleCheckout ... but I'll re-enable it if someone PM's or contacts me that can look at the code - or if everything I said below makes sense - I really need some help. I need to turn GoogleCheckout back on, but I can't get new customers with regular checkout as long as it's enabled right now.

I've seen this asked before, but haven't seen it answered. Does GCO only support Media, Parcel, and Express? That seems very very odd, and a very poor decision.

It supports all shipping options for USPS, FedEx and UPS. You just have to configure it correctly.

Hey Gang -

3 days of downtime, and still no resolution here - I've reinstalled GoogleCheckout and Zen cart 3x.

I think it HAS to be something to do w/ the tpl-default-login.php file ... this is where the issue occurs. Like I said, if I disable GoogleCheckout, everything works fine. As soon as I enable GoogleCheckout, the login page won't display correctly - it stops loading just where it would normally show the GoogleCheckout badge, and stops loading any code below that.

Driving me CRAZY - does anyone have a suggestion as to how to start over or make this work? I've re-uploaded the template files over and over.

The rest of Google Checkout seems to work fine - when it's enabled, it works if you go straight there (w/o clicking continue to checkout), and the admin area is fine - all the order info is there ....

Thanks,
FRED

what modules and template are you using?
Seems that the log in page is modified?

Hey,
I'm using the regular files, and a custom template we created, that worked for a long time, until now. The login page still works fine, until GoogleCheckout is enabled, then it breaks.

But, turning on GoogleCheckout does change the login page, or at least, it includes some extra code - this seems to be where it's messing up.

One thing i"ve not tried is reverting to an older template and trying it that way.

Hi - to further elaborate, I'm using the /includes/templates/template_default/templates included in the ZenCart installation (most recent), and then when I install GoogleCheckout, it installs these:
/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/ and the 5 of them listed there.

tpl_login_default.php is here .. and I'm not sure if this file overrides the one in /includes/templates/templates_default/templates or not ... but this seems to be where the issue resides .. on that tpl_login_default.php file - at least, that's where I have issues when I enable Google Checkout.

Not sure what the "regular files" you refer to.

At any rate since you use a custom template you must MERGE the changes/diffs in your template files with the template files provided with GC mod. Use WinMerge or BeyondCompare to do this. And as to your follow-up question best to review the Zen Cart FAQ on template overrides.

It has to be there tpl_login_default.php

But I went toy your site but you have removed GC so I can tale a look

Where exactly would I configure that? The only options for USPS shown in the admin section are Media, Parcel, and Express.

Baa:

I've just posted this on the thread in google but in case others aren't watching that forum, here it is again.

I was getting the same error 403 but as the page (link below) states, you should use a separate buyers account and a test credit card number. It worked for me.

http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/index.html

thanks I fixed it. I was using two seller accounts to try to test it. I ceated a new "buyer" account and now it works

I still can not get this to work. I have completely started over, uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of this mod. And my orders are still not showing up. I have changed permissions and still nothing....anyone have any idea?
I get the request when I go to responsehandler. And I have the **.htaccess Basic Authentication Mode set to **True

Thanks for any help. It is really a pain to have to check the google site constantly to find orders!

This is an interesting problem.

My gco is not intergrated with zen cart, so i've just assigned flat rate prices for shipping

free shipping
2 day
overnight.

For some reason Overnight shipping has stopped working, meaning if you choose it, it doesn't change the total. It works however in safari on windows, but safari on osx will not work. firefox on both will not work, and ie works 100%

What could it be? This is an old version of GCO module 1.4.3 but it has worked fine thus far and since I don't intergrate them togeather I don't see the need to update, anyone?

did you actually created the new file? did you change the permission into 777 before.? did you go to you GC account and see the log?

The new version is 1.4.7 works fine for me. HOWEVER I had problems with the version you mention, specially with shipping, in which NEVER ever worked with calculated shipping, once I have updated I have no problems for over a month and I have around 10 orders per week

Okay, maybe this is the problem, I have a file under googlecheckout .htaccess that I have set the permissions to 777? And I log into the google orders page and get my orders. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help. I have been looking at this so long, I must have overlooked something!

Hi all,

i'm trying to use google checkout on zen cart with shipping calculations. I'm a uk merchant and have two "location vs. weight" price scales. One scale for single man delivery, one table for two man.

I have GC 1.4.6a running on ZC 1.3.7. An English guy at google sent me XML for the pricing matrix and and a java api to use with carrier calculated shipping.

But I don't know much PHP, so i can't translate his java code. I also found a message from Ropu on the google forum stating that UK merchants can't use carrier calculated shipping, though it was dated october, so might be out of date now.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My PHP and web coding skills are not up to figuring this out from the help files on merchant or carrier calc shipping. Has anyone got merchant or carrier calc shipping working for these versions of CG and ZC. If so, i'd really appreciate some code snippets and pointers. I'm not getting anywhere at the moment.

Best regards, Bod

Thanks for the great mod! When user checkout using "Google Checkout", shouldn't the shopping cart contents be cleared? what I observed is that, the shopping cart contents remain even after the order completion by Google. Is this the expected behavior? or I missed/messed something?

Thanks,
