I’ve wanted to do this for some time now, but this weekend I finally had my hands free to turn the custom SimpleCaddy iDEAL gateway I created for one of my customers into something more useful. Just to be clear; this is a gateway addition to the SimpleCaddy shopping cart extension for Joomla! and not a standalone iDEAL application.
Instructions
- Backup your stuff (i.e. database)
- Download and unzip the gateway file somewhere
- Copy the scideal.class.php file to your public com_caddy directory (/YOUR/SITE/components/com_caddy)
- If you’re using SimpleCaddy 1.73; copy caddy.php over the original file in the same directory as for (2). See what I changed below (*)
- Got a backup of your database? To get the iDEAL configuration options in the SimpleCaddy configuration view, execute the SQL inserts in config_options.sql on the jos_sc_config table in your Joomla! database.
- Now configure SimpleCaddy to use the iDEAL gateway by changing “Payment gateway classname” (SimpleCaddy configuration) from “scpaypal” to “scideal“
- Fill out the iDEAL configuration fields to match your iDEAL account.
(*) If you’re not using SimpleCaddy 1.73 you might need to make the change below yourself. In caddy.php, line 230 I changed:
checkout->checkout($mycart, $ship);
to
checkout->checkout($mycart, $ship, $orderid);
This change is necessary because iDEAL requires a PurchaseID for each order.
Please note
- This code was written to work with Rabobank iDEAL lite. I’m not sure if this will work for other iDEAL banks as well. If not, send me the implementation documentation of your bank and I’ll see what I can do.
- The code doesn’t handle vouchers (yet).
Let me know if you run into issues or if you have suggestions for improvement. Oh, and consider a donation if this is of any use to you
