[Solved] Checkout - bypass payment when free purchase + combining download and physical delivery

I'm quite new to Gallery2, but I am already impressed by it's features. I've tested a lot of packages, from easy (Jalbum) to complex (Coppermine, Joomla or Wordpress based galleries), but G2 really meets almost all my needs ;-) .

I have one question regarding Checkout, and couldn't find the answer on the forums or in the codex.

I'd like to set up a gallery where photos could be ordered in following flavours, for instance:

1) Low-res JPG (say 600 px @ 72 dpi) for free - Download
2) 10x15 print res JPG for a fee - Download
3) A3+ sized fine art prints for a fee - Physical delivery

(of course, I could restrict some flavours for selected albums)

Furthermore I want to standardize on the checkout module for all downloads, even those for free. So the scenarios would be:

• If someone has only selected items of flavour 1) (free downloads), he/she could directly download the ZIP without further payment processing
• If someone only has selected items of flavour 1) and 2) (downloadable items), he/she would be able to download the complete package after payment cleared for flavour 2) items
• If someone has selected also flavour 3) items, he/she would be able to download flavour 1) and 2) items (if any) after payment cleared (in addition to having the flavour 3) items sent to him/her)

Can I set up this kind of configuration, as if so, can somebody help me out how to achieve this?

Thanks a lot,

Jean-François

Hi,

thanks for this info, I'll check it out ;-)

Update:

I've been "playing" with the different options, setting up the Paypal module to use the sandbox, etc...

So I had set up both email and Paypal checkout.

Using the email checkout is a nice solution for the free downloads as long as you don't need Paypal for chargeable items. But what happens is that when someone checks out a cart with chargeable items, both the email checkout and the Paypal checkout options appear. I actually don't want people to use email checkout to pay, I just want them to use Paypal.

Not sure there is a way to show only email checkout when the cart contains only zero-value items, and use only Paypal checkout when there is some amount to pay? Is it possible or did I miss something obvious? ;-)

A workaround is to disable email check-out and use the Download link module to allow people to download directly pictures without using the Checkout Cart, but this has two tradeoffs: (a) it is less flexible in selecting which sizes to offer for download, and (b) people need to download pictures separately, they cant download complete albums or "shop" for pictures and download them altogether at the end.

I edited the file in that way, but that didn't change anything. (I did the changes in ./local and I did flush the template cache after each change).

Just to test out things, I changed it to read ($payment.paymentVariables.orderTotal != 0), and then I never get the email option, even not when the cart is not empty. When only free stuff is in the cart, there is no payment option at all, and when there are chargeable items, the Paypal module is available but not the email module.

What is the $payment.paymentVariables.active variable?

Also, "&&" means logical "and", correct? (it's been a very loooong time since I last programmed, and it was Cobol ;-) ).

I've changed checkoutemail/classes/CheckoutEmailPaymentPlugin.class as follows:

$session->put('checkoutemail.transactionId', $session->get('checkout.transactionId'));
$session->put('checkoutemail.total', $session->get('checkout.total'));
$orderTotal = $session->get('checkout.total');
list ($ret, $paymentButtonText) = GalleryCoreApi::getPluginParameter('module', 'checkoutemail', 'paymentButtonText');

and

return array(null, array('paymentButtonText' => $paymentButtonText, 
			'paymentText' => $paymentText,
                        'orderTotal' => $orderTotal,
			'active' => $active));

I still get the same results, as if orderTotal is not returned (or returned empty).
Do I need to change something in the getVariables() function declaration in modules/checkout/classes/CheckoutPaymentInterface_1_3.class ?

BTW, does the ./local override system also apply to classes? I understood from the codex or forum it's only for templates?

Yep, that worked out! Thanks a lot for your support and responsiveness. Very appreciated!

Now, I was wondering... Instead of modding the checkoutemail module, I could duplicate it to, say, "checkoutfree", and add that as an additional module. I could then further tweak it to either completely bypass the form requesting user info, or just ask for an email address to send out the download link. I'll check that out and if there interest, I could share it as well

Thanks!

There are various things describe above, but unless you can explain a) what you're trying to do and b) which bit of the editing instructions above isn't clear - it's hard to help you without just repeating what's already been said.
