Trying to package a new WorldPay payment processor

[mcdruid]

We've got the basic functionality of a WorldPay payment processor working, based on files from a forum topic [1]

I'm now trying to package this up as an extension (testing this with CiviCRM 3.3.5)

I initially did this following the documentation [2], but from the looks of the google checkout processor listed as an available extension [3] it seems the format of the info file has changed - including the documented processor-type.xml being absorbed into the main info.xml

So I now have:

org.civicrm.worldpay
|-- CRM
|   |-- Contribute
|   |   `-- Payment
|   |       `-- WorldPay.php
|   `-- Event
|       `-- Payment
|           `-- WorldPay.php
|-- info.xml
|-- WorldPayIPN.php
|-- worldPayNotify.php
`-- WorldPay.php

...when I set the extensions directory, and place my org.civicrm.worldpay directory inside, I can see my extension in the list, and when I expand out the details, the values from my XML file are there.

The next step is where I'm struggling.

My extension is listed with a status of 'Local only' (as opposed to 'Available'). When I click on Install, the table which should show details of the extension I'm about to install is empty (despite the same details being visible on the previous page). If I then click install, I get an error about the downloadUrl not being set.

I've only been able to get the extension to install by pointing downloadUrl in info.xml at a zip file of the (same) extension which it can download. (Even then I get a few permissions errors when it tries to copy files around, but this could just be local to my set up).

So here's the question: how is this supposed to work? should the 'Local only' extension be installable without setting a downloadUrl in the info.xml?

Very happy to share this code, but would be good to get the packaging of it as an extension working.

cheers,
Drew

I got the exact same problem! Have you found a solution?

Sorry for the delay in replying, but no I didn't get any further with this - Michał did you have a chance to look at it?

[mcdruid]

how to install extensions looks like it might be the same issue?

[heliosabc]

In fact, I got it to work!

[mcdruid]

Great! are you able to explain what the problem was, and how you solved it?

[heliosabc]

I don't remember, it has been a long time, but I changed something in the civicrm code to make it work, only one line to adjust, but still

Mcdruid - sorry, I forgot there are two threads with the same issue. As stated in other thread - there was a bug, fixed now. Please apply the path mentioned in another thread and let me know if it helped.

Thx.
