Activating Custom gateway module

[romatr]

Hi,

 

I have a little trouble with activating my gateway module. I made it from template, uploaded, but is is not visible under list of available modules. No any errors show/log to me.

More information needed for someone to be able to help you

This are steps I did:

1. Renamed template.php to mygateway.php and replaces all occurences of "template" in this new file. This is a short listing of my new file:

 

<?php

// Set the Gateway Variables
$GATEWAYMODULE = array(
   'templatename'        => "mygateway",
   'templatevisiblename' => "My Gateway",
   'templatetype'        => "Invoices", # Invoices or CC
);

function mygateway_activate()
{
   // Here you need to define the fields required to configure your gateway - vars: template, type, name, default value, friendly name, size, description
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "text", "username", "", "Customer ID", "20", "Your customer ID number assigned to you by Gateway");
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "text", "password", "", "Password for Customer ID", "20", "The password for your custid as assigned by Gateway");
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "yesno", "testmode", "", "Test Mode", "", "When set to \"y\", the transaction will be a test transaction only");
}

function mygateway_link($params)
{
   // This was not changed. I use _capture function
}

function mygateway_capture($params)
{
  // Here is code of MyGateway
}
?>

 

2. I uploaded mygateway.php to the modules/gateways folder.

3. Opened from admin panel page Configuration -> Payment Gateways. There is a list of available gateways to activate. But there isn't "My Gateway" in the list. And no any errors/messages on page or apache log files.

Try this... but instead of me telling you what was wrong, You tell me!!

<?php

# Set the Gateway Variables
$GATEWAYMODULE = array(
   "mygatewayname"        => "mygateway",
   "mygatewayvisiblename" => "My Gateway",
   "mygatewaytype"        => "Invoices", # Invoices or CC
);

function mygateway_activate() {
   # Here you need to define the fields required to configure your gateway - vars: mygateway, type, name, default value, friendly name, size, description
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "text", "username", "", "Customer ID", "20", "Your customer ID number assigned to you by Gateway");
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "text", "password", "", "Password for Customer ID", "20", "The password for your custid as assigned by Gateway");
   defineGatewayField("mygateway", "yesno", "testmode", "", "Test Mode", "", "When set to \"y\", the transaction will be a test transaction only");

}

function mygateway_link($params) {

}

function mygateway_capture($params) {


}

?>

HINT: There was 2 main problems

1st was three instances of it

2nd only 1 instance

Ok,

I understood

$GATEWAYMODULE = array(
   "mygatewayname"        => "mygateway",
   "mygatewayvisiblename" => "My Gateway",
   "mygatewaytype"        => "Invoices", # Invoices or CC
);

 

I thought that only full term "template" needs to be replaced.

Thank you Sparky.

 

Yet one little question. What values has gateway field type "yesno": yes/no, y/n, 1/0 or something else?

No... As it says replace ALL instances of template

 

Yet one little question. What values has gateway field type "yesno": yes/no, y/n, 1/0 or something else?

1/0 or true/false

 

The second problem was that there was a space after the ?> at the end of the file which would have caused a blank screen

Thank you for your advise Sparky.
