Overview

This module will make a module that is capable of accepting credit card information, and give it authorization when an order has been submitted. This model will also save the ID used in the transaction in the payment record. If you are going to use this code make the necessary changes to the file name.

In this example make sure the app/code/local is at the include_path.

Module Declaration

Make app/etc/modules/CompanyName_NewModule.xml:

<config>
<modules>
<!-- declare CompanyName_NewModule module -->
<CompanyName_NewModule>

<!-- this is an active module -->
<active>true</active>

<!-- this module will be located in app/code/local code pool -->
<codePool>local</codePool>

<!-- specify dependencies for correct module loading order -->
<depends>
<Mage_Payment />
</depends>

</CompanyName_NewModule>
</modules>
</config>

Now the application is aware of this module.

Configuration

Make the app/code/local/CompanyName/NewModule/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>

<modules>
<CompanyName_NewModule>
<!-- declare module's version information for database updates -->
<version>0.1.0</version>
</CompanyName_NewModule>
</modules>

<global>
<!-- Note: if you use your own namespace (i.e. CompanyName) you also have to declare blocks group for new module. -->

<blocks>
<newmodule>
<class>CompanyName_NewModule_Block</class>
</newmodule>
</blocks>

<!-- declare model group for new module -->
<models>
<!-- model group alias to be used in Mage::getModel('newmodule/...') -->
<newmodule>
<!-- base class name for the model group -->
<class>CompanyName_NewModule_Model</class>
</newmodule>
</models>

<!-- declare resource setup for new module -->
<resources>

<!-- resource identifier -->
<newmodule_setup>

<!-- specify that this resource is a setup resource and used for upgrades -->
<setup>
<!-- which module to look for install/upgrade files in -->
<module>CompanyName_NewModule</module>
</setup>

<!-- specify database connection for this resource -->
<connection>

<!-- do not create new connection, use predefined core setup connection -->
<use>core_setup</use>
</connection>
</newmodule_setup>
<newmodule_write>
<connection>
<use>core_write</use>
</connection>
</newmodule_write>
<newmodule_read>
<connection>
<use>core_read</use>
</connection>
</newmodule_read>
</resources>
</global>

<!-- declare default configuration values for this module -->
<default>

<!-- 'payment' configuration section (tab) -->
<payment>

<!-- 'newmodule' configuration group (fieldset) -->
<newmodule>

<!-- by default this payment method is inactive -->
<active>0</active>

<!-- model to handle logic for this payment method -->
<model>newmodule/paymentMethod</model>

<!-- order status for new orders paid by this payment method -->
<order_status>pending</order_status>

<!-- default title for payment checkout page and order view page -->
<title>Credit Card (Authorize.net)</title>

<cctypes>AE,VI,MC,DI</cctypes>
<payment_action>authorize</payment_action>
<allowspecific>0</allowspecific>
</newmodule>
</payment>
</default>
</config>

The Adapter Model

It must be emphasized that Payment Method is arbitrary and it is up to you to define the method’s name. This is very important and neglecting it might cause the code to fail.

<?php
/**
* Our test CC module adapter
*/

class CompanyName_NewModule_Model_PaymentMethod extends Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Cc
{
/**
* unique internal payment method identifier
*
* @var string [a-z0-9_]
*/
protected $_code = 'newmodule';

/**
* Here are instances of flags that will determine functionality availability
* of this module to be used by frontend and backend.
*
* @see all flags and their defaults in Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Abstract
*
* It is possible to have a custom dynamic logic by overloading
* public function can* for each flag respectively
*/

/**
* Is this payment method a gateway (online auth/charge) ?
*/
protected $_isGateway = true;

/**
* Can authorize online?
*/

protected $_canAuthorize = true;

/**
* Can capture funds online?
*/

protected $_canCapture = true;

/**
* Can capture partial amounts online?
*/

protected $_canCapturePartial = false;

/**
* Can refund online?
*/

protected $_canRefund = false;

/**
* Can void transactions online?
*/

protected $_canVoid = true;

/**
* Can use this payment method in administration panel?
*/

protected $_canUseInternal = true;

/**
* Can show this payment method as an option on checkout payment page?
*/

protected $_canUseCheckout = true;

/**
* Is this payment method suitable for multi-shipping checkout?
*/

protected $_canUseForMultishipping = true;

/**
* Can save credit card information for future processing?
*/

protected $_canSaveCc = false;

/**
* Here you will need to implement authorize, capture and void public methods
*
* @see examples of transaction specific public methods such as
* authorize, capture and void in Mage_Paygate_Model_Authorizenet
*/

}

?>

This class will interact with your payment gateway.

How to Set up the WorldPay Gateway

Go to Magento Go’s Admin Panel and choose System > Configuration > Payment Methods. At the Sales > Configuration panel choose Payment Methods and go to WordlPay. Now you need to do the following:

1. Choose “enable”.
2. Leave the Title name as it is or modify it.
3. For Payment Option choose either Authorize Only or Authorize and Capture.
4. Provide the following info from your WorldPay account: XML Password, Merchant Code, installation ID and account type.
5. Set the credit card verification to yes or no. Go to the credit card types and choose the ones that are acceptable with this payment gateway.

Now go to the field “Payment from Applicable Countries” and choose the countries where this payment option is acceptable. Next you should set the 3D Secure Card Validation to “yes”. The “Transaction ID prefix” is optional.

Click Save Config and you are done.

Set up PayPal PayFlow Gateway

Go to the Admin panel and choose System > Configuration and go to Sales Payment Methods and select the Merchant Location section. Now choose the Merchant Country where your business is situated. Now go to PayPal Payment Gateways and choose Configure.

Go to Required PayPal Settings and go to PayFlow Pro and Express Checkout.

1. Type the email address linked with your PayPal account.
2. Choose PayPal as “partner”.
3. In the user field set the name needed to log in. Make “Vendor” the user name. Type the password as well.
4. Click “Enable this Solution”.

If your store has several views, make sure Current Configuration Scope is set at the views where the configuration is applicable. Now you have to type a title for identifying PayPal PayFlow Pro at checkout.

It’s best to just have the default on. Now you just need to set Payment Action to Sale or Authorization. Next you should go to Allowed Credit Card Types and choose the credit cards that work with your payment method.

Now go to the Advanced Settings where you can make several modifications to the payment system.

1. If you want customers to type the 3 digit code have the Require CVV Entry set to “yes”.
2. Enable the “enable 3D Secure Card Validation” on Frontend and enable the following: Enable 3D Secure Card Validation in Admin, Severe 3D Secure Card Validation and Centinel API URL.
3. Now go to Settlement Report Settings. If you are a part of the PayPal Secure FTP Server set the login and password.
4. Set the Sandbox to yes.
5. Set the right P-Address or Custom Endpoint Hostname (PayPal’s website is the default).
6. Under Scheduled Fetching, choose the schedule for the system to generate reports.
7. At the Frontend Experience Settings, you can customize the PayPal logo as well as the merchant pages. There are a lot of other settings here that you can modify and change. The ones that you need to change will depend on the kind of store you are running, so this will vary from case to case.

To complete the settings for your Express Checkout enable “Checkout with PayPal” at the Shopping Cart page. Click yes to PayPal Shortcut on Shopping Cart. Now follow these steps:

1. Set shortcut on Product View to yes, as this will display the “Checkout with PayPal” button at the page for product details.
2. Go to Advance Settings and choose either Specific Countries or All Allowed Countries.
3. At the Transfer Cart Line Items set it to “yes”.

One Final Thought

As you can see, there are many ways to create a payment method in Magento. Regardless of which method you choose, make sure that you test it carefully before actually implementing it. If you encounter trouble when you create a payment method, go through the code again. Chances are you made a mistake. It will also help clean the cache as it may cause problems.

Their ability to both enable visual access to the interior of the structure, as well as to reflect the world around it, is an interesting paradigm that has been undergone extensive experimentation by all manner of architects, both pioneering and derivative.

This article will examine the different approaches to the glass house designs by builders all over the world. Though they don’t look like a glamorous mansion design or a medieval castle design, these glass houses will surely finds its way to your heart.

Glass House by Philip Johnson

No catalogue of glass houses is complete without this paragon of the “genre”. Constructed in 1949, this house is almost universally regarded as the progenitor of the design. Taking off from the seminal Farnsworth House by modernism luminary Mies van de Rohe, Philip Johnson took the Farnsworth House’s starkness with steel, concrete, and glass, and adopted it to his own style.

Built on the 47-acre estate of Philip Johnson, the house has been called the world’s “most beautiful and least functional home”. The first part because of its breathtaking views—Johnson created the house as a sort of vantage point overlooking his property and the areas beyond. The second part was because of its glaring lack of privacy.

The Glass House was used as a living space by Johnson and his partner David Whitney for several years, alternating between this and their other, more private homes. The house has also been described as having “the most expensive wallpaper” owing to its lush landscaped surroundings.

Woning Moereels by Jo Crepain

The best architects aren’t just good at creating—they are excellent at adapting the environment towards their own ends. The best architecture, after all, is that perfectly attuned with its environment, aware of its sense of place with the location and culture in which it resides.

This second example by Belgian architect Jo Crepain is a fitting example of this philosophy. This six-story glass house is the final step of the structure’s transformation from a water tower originally built in the 1900s. The entire process took over 17 years, over a series of incremental renovations.

The final result is obvious—the structure is semi-translucent and has ample room to make up the world’s most awesome bachelor pad. The untouched reservoir up top, as well as the house’s spartan aesthetic, recall the structure’s industrial origins. At night, the tower even glows in the dark, evoke visions of a lighthouse, complete with its solitary resident.

Glass Pavilion by Steve Hermann

Briefly mentioned above, the legendary Farnsworth House by the equally legendary Mies van der Rohe is the epitome of a residence built following the tenets of modernism. It continues to be an inspiration to the present day, as evidenced by Steve Hermann’s estate, Glass Pavilion, located in Montecito, California.

Not to be confused with the 1914 Bruno Taut exhibition structure, Hermann’s Glass Pavilion is a private residence that takes the philosophies of van der Rohe’s house and brings them to the contemporary age.

Among the house’s primary features are a 32-car parking garage that also doubles as an art gallery, as well as a kitchen area with attached winery that holds thousands and thousands of bottles.

All the glass on the site is the special Star Fire glass, which is predominantly used in jewelry cases. The whole house allows for integration with nature (especially with its extensive glasswork), and the structure even appears to be floating at certain angles.

H House by Wiel Arets Architects

This suburban home in the Netherlands, created almost exclusively with concrete and glass, is a breathtaking work of modern architecture. While this is a thoroughly traditional home through and through, being commissioned for a couple’s private home, this is a fantastic example of the contemporary glass house.

The H House has no walls at all, or at least, none that provide any actual support. Instead, in the interior of the home, concrete columns support the slabs of concrete that provide firm footing. The house’s external walls are all of glass in varying shades of transparency, making the house itself blend in with the changing Dutch seasons.

Inside the house, open spaces are the subscribed design tenet, with flowing areas giving no boundary to the traditional living room, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom. The house’s foyer and the bathroom can also cantilever outward, changing the very facade of the house virtually at will. Curtains afford a certain level of privacy, allowing the couple to live in peace.

Glass House Concepts by Carlo Santambrogio

This final entry is not a real-world example, but rather a series of concepts by Italian architect and designer Carlo Santambroglio. Whereas the other examples in this article have covered houses made of a wide range of materials, the structures in the Santambrogio series are made entirely of glass.

The first, the “Snow House”, is designed to make occupants feel as if they are one with nature. Built of reinforced glass to counter blizzards and the like, the house’s clear glass can turn matte instantly, providing privacy. The house is also designed following a grid, and can be constructed in several configurations due to its modularity.

The second house, the “Cliff House”, is meant for integration with waterscapes. Constructed above a still bed of water (which could probably double as a swimming pool), the house gives an illusion that occupants are walking on water.

Due to their materials, the Santambrogio houses allow for a 360-degree view of the surrounding environment.

Joe Fenton, an artist based in London, is our featured artist of the day. Joe Fenton works mainly in monochrome and his large drawings are produced using graphite, ink and acrylics on paper. Joe’s art work is influenced by many of the early surrealists. Embracing the grotesque by his employment of Hieronymus Bosch like figures that are gangly, writhing and cramped. Joe also uses motifs that suggest Eastern philosophy and Middle Eastern architecture whilst maintaining a feel for European Baroque and Rococo with complex frame ornamentation and plant like details.

A common theme in all his works which recurs again and again is that of death and the fear of death. The fanciful and even freakish nature of his images seem to spring from the need to distance himself from the fear while at the same time acknowledging it. Prior to his decision to commit full time to his personal works, Joe had two children’s books published, as author and illustrator which have won various awards. Joe has also worked for several years as a special effects sculptor and designer for motion pictures. He has a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Sculpture from the Wimbledon Art School.

Take a look at his work below and tell us your favorite creative drawings and fine arts.

After the death of the dragon Smaug, Thranduil supported Bard the Bowman’s claim of a share of the treasure the Dwarves recovered from the Lonely Mountain (Erebor), since Bard was a descendant of Lord Girion of Dale, and the treasure of that town had been taken by Smaug to the Lonely Mountain, The series of events eventually strengthen the hate and quarrel between the the two races; Elves and Dwarves.

The reconciliation between Dwarves and Elves made possible by Legolas Greenleaf (son of Thranduil) and Gimli (son of Glóin). It’s very noticeable that they have established their strong relationship as a friend during the events in the lords of the rings.

Here’s an amazing artwork collection illustrating the magical character of the elvenking known as Thranduil whom became popular because of Bilbo’s exploits and tales.

The way you use animals in your logo will reflect on the personality of your business. For a poultry business, it is common to use chicken logo designs but how you will integrate chicken symbols will define your success. Another example is the use of gorilla logo design and/or giraffe logo design for a zoo which will attract more visitors since most of the zoos have these animals on their own zoo habitat.

Here’s a sleek collection of dolphin logo design examples and ideas commemorating the heroic-like symbol of this marine mammal. These truly innovative dolphin logo designs were all hand-picked and based on quality to make sure that you will make the most out of it. One of my favorite dolphin logos in this collection is the “Sea Shepherd logo design” probably because of its effective use of negative space. What about you?
