Symptom:
My client is using the new Google Checkout Module with Carrier Calculated Shipping, et al. (v1.4.5)
You can see the Google Checkout module for ZenCart here.
His freeoptions shipping module allows free shipping for orders greater than $50.00.
This is what his freeoptions shipping method options are:
Shipping Cost: 0.00
Handling Fee: 0
Total >= 50.00
Total <=
Weight >=
Weight <=
Item Count >=
Item Count <=
When you navigate to google checkout as a customer, it would not follow the pricing rules-- it would allow free shipping for any order regardless of price.
Here’s the Zen Cart Google Checkout Solution:
In the googlecheckout/gcheckout.php file, find these two lines: (line numbers 533 & 534)
$price = $quote[’methods’][0][’cost’];
$shipping_price = $currencies->get_value(DEFAULT_CURRENCY) * ($price>=0?$price:0);
replace them with:
if ($quote) {
$price = $quote[’methods’][0][’cost’];
$shipping_price = $currencies->get_value(DEFAULT_CURRENCY) * ($price>=0?$price:0);
}else{
unset($googlepayment->mc_shipping_methods[$key]) ;
continue ;
}
This should fix the other options in freeshipper as well - items, and weight, since it performs the same way (though I haven’t fully tested it in every possible combination or onfiguration). It should also fix any other shipping methods that just don’t show up based on some sort of option configuration.
Hope this helps someone else!

We’ve hired two new employees here at FDG Web. Jared & Blake.
Jared is a graphic designer fresh out of school (for the most part). You can see some of the great stuff he is working on for JJIElectronics.com (Special Christmas Zen-Cart Overlay). Jared is a designer. Did I happen to mention that? Photoshop, Illustrator, Vector Artwork, print work, etc - that is his area.
So, what you are seeing here is the result of our having put him next to the programmer’s pit here in the office.

Search Engine friendly template you can use to start off your next project half finished. This template uses the XHTML Strict 1.0 DTD and pure CSS with no inline styles to convey your information with the minimum amount of code and markup. Tested in IE 6 & 7, Opera 8.0+, Netscape 7+, and Firefox 1.5 and up, all with consistent results.
I made this template as an exercise in SEO techniques, wondering if I could meet commonly held best practices for the CSS and still have it be search engine friendly, AND be XHTML Strict 1.0 compliant. It worked after a little tweaking and I invite you to have a look and learn from my example.
Zip file includes the photoshop PSD for the header for customization.

Use this 800×600, 72 dpi, background for a number of things. The file can be used in Microsoft Powerpoint, Word, Publisher, Myspace, Dreamweaver, or Flash. Use it for a flash project concerning the affects of pollution in our water or a massive zombie outbreak - we do not care - it is up to you. It’s free. It’s Photoshop. Heck, it’s also just a JPG. A friendly, little, non-threatening JPG.

Here is how you can use Window’s built-in FTP client through My Network Places (or Netowrks in Vista)
How to FTP Files using Windows - Steps:
In XP - go to “My network places”
In VISTA - “Go to “Networks”
Select “Add new network”
Select “Other network place” (usually the last option, some computer “load” this section with ISP offers, etc - by default it is just ‘MSN’)
Type in the following:
ftp://ftp.[your-domain-name]
Password: [whatever your ftp pass is]
Username: [whatever you username is]
Now you can drag and drop files into your ftp space “almost” like your desktop. A cut & paste job results in ftping those local files on up to your website. If you intent in ftping is to place files on your website - make sure you are placing the files in tghe right directory for the control panel or server type you are using.
cPanel places files in public_html, while PLESK uses httpdocs. This is where your website begins and the root of the site is located.

FDG Web has uprooted its Bothell office and moved to downtown Everett, WA - just down from the Everett Events Center. We now have a more creative space to work and design for our clients and projects. Since we serve clients worldwide and are not just offering Everett Web Design & Development services - everything is pretty much the same as it was before.
Our number, as always is: 877-239-3083 or 425-374-5383
We’ve added three new employees recently. Shannon Harper, Blake Morrison and Jared Albright. Look for samples of their work coming soon.
With the addition of these employees, we now have a well rounded team who can provide web design, graphic design, flash, multimedia, programming application development, print design, brochure design and other services for our clients in whether they live in Everett or elsewhere.
We’ve also been busy creating new Flash Applications and Templates for purchase.
