Hi,

Does anyone know how to set shipping prices in Google Checkout? Can Google checkout be made to detect teh weight of the order coming from Virtuemart with this module?

The google checkout module uses the standard shipping module to get it's shipping prices.

Fast Google checkout is not being able to take the correct shipping rates as per regions or address. Can you please re-post the ticket for getting the solution

Sorry I forgot you can also use Google Carrier-calculated Shipping. Make sure this is enabled and that you select your valid shipping methods. Also make sure all your products have a weight to them.

Google Carrier-calculated shipping takes only US regions or addresses. It is disabled for other regions/addresses.

Even if we disable the Google carrier calculated shipping, we are still having problems as the module does not pass the region details. The error in the module needs to be fixed.

Note: If the google carrier calculated shipping is disabled then the system does the calculations on the basis of the system shipping rates as entered by admin.

Goto http://<yourdomain>/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/googlecheckout/callback/responsehandler_gc.php

You have an error Logs are not writable, set them to 777

I think it would be best to provide the steps we have used to generate the data for states:
1) Login To Admin section
2) Create Shipping rates
3) Now from the front end, when user checks out using Google Fast Checkout.
4) Shipping rates are not displated in Goolgle Checkout system.
a. GetXML method which sends the XML data to Google site. The xml data does not contain proper values for 'allowed-areas' tag and hence the values are not passed to Google checkout system.
b. We tried a small test by changing code and passing a flat XML file via Google Checkout system and the country codes was displayed properly on Google Checkout system.

Do you have problems for both fast checkout and the regular checkout?

"a. GetXML method which sends the XML data to Google site. The xml data does not contain proper values for 'allowed-areas' tag and hence the values are not passed to Google checkout system."

Are you viewing the xml by turning on the debug mode in virtuemart?

"b. We tried a small test by changing code and passing a flat XML file via Google Checkout system and the country codes was displayed properly on Google Checkout system."

What code did you change? How did you pass a flat XML file?

If you want you can make me a temp super administrator account and I will take a closer look.

We have problem with fast checkout only.

File Path: /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/googlecheckout/library/googlecart.php

a. GetXML method which sends the XML data to Google site. The xml data does not contain proper values for 'allowed-areas' tag and hence the values are not passed to Google checkout system.

We are seeing the XML data by doing the following:
print_r($xml_data->GetXML());
exit;
at the end of GetXML method.

b. We tried a small test by changing code and passing a flat XML file via Google Checkout system and the country codes was displayed properly on Google Checkout system."

We didn’t pass the Flat XML file but we wrote the code ‘ $shipping_restrictions->allowed_country_codes_arr[0] = "IND"; ‘ on line number 541. So that it displays the shipping address where user has entered India’s address. For all other countries the shipping address is disabled.

If Google checkout module passes the proper allowed area from shipping then the problem will be fixed.

Any ideas on this, or shall I send you login details so you can have a look yourself?

Can you make me a temp super admin account so I can take a look?

You shouldn't have to use googlecart.php to see the xml that is being passed. You can just turn on the virtuemart debugging or turn on the write to log option in the module and look at googleerror.log and googlemessage.log

Ok, I will send you a temp superadmin

Ok it is fixed. I put in a https url for SECUREURL

google requires SSL in order to talk to pass information to the responsehandler
