boliviasfinest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi there, Have you installed the MS2 060817 ?. Are your other Admin settings updating ?. Hi, I have checked around the admin, and all the other settings are updating, it seems to be only the paypal ipn module that wont update to true. Any ideas? Thank you very much to you or anyone who can help me solve this. Boliviasfinest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffr Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi, I have checked around the admin, and all the other settings are updating, it seems to be only the paypal ipn module that wont update to true. Any ideas?Thank you very much to you or anyone who can help me solve this. Boliviasfinest Hi again, I checked back through this thread, and if I understand your problem correctly (correct me if I've misunderstood) the issue you have is: 1) You can "Install" the paypal IPN module under Admin->Modules->Payment, so you then see the "Credit/Debit card (via Paypal)" with the options now being "Remove" and "Edit" 2) Then you strike the problem when you try to "Edit" the module, and do things like set: "Enable Paypal IPN Module" to True. ... and ofcourse other settings like the "E-Mail Address" etc... If this is what's happening, I strongly suspect that your problem is because of the bug in OsC 060817 which I mentioned above. AlexStudio a few posts back pointed someone to http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=251673 The same fix in that thread is also in a STS module fix: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1524 I you have the 060817 version of OsC, you really need to apply this fix, it is an absolute must so if you haven't yet, please do this before trying anything else. It is a simple one line fix to two files, catalog/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php catalog/includes/functions/compatibility.php Here it is again exactly as posted previously by Bill Kellum: 1. Open the catalog/admin/includes/functions/compatibility.php. 2. At the end of the “do_magic_quotes_gpc” routine, add the following code: reset($ar); It will end up looking like this: function do_magic_quotes_gpc(&$ar) { if (!is_array($ar)) return false; while (list($key, $value) = each($ar)) { if (is_array($ar[$key])) { do_magic_quotes_gpc($ar[$key]); } else { $ar[$key] = addslashes($value); } } reset($ar); } Please let us know how you go. Good luck !. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidandrews Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 HI There Thanks ALEXSTUDIO!! Ok, a little confused, I found three files, I have the ipn.php in the ext folder but I have TWO paypal_ipn.php fiels One in includes/languages/english/modules/payment and the other in includes/modules/payment Which of the two do i need to alter? Also where abouts in the source code do i need to alter the email? Thanks again, for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexStudio Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php is the one. If you're using v2.2 (the latest one), you should only modify ipn.php. Email jobs had been moved to that file since v2.2.

davidandrews Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply Where abouts in the file does it need altering? In the checkout_process.php file its obvious : Somewhere after the section that reads // lets start with the email confirmation about line 222 add: // additional text message $email_order .= "rnThank you for your order! rn Enjoy! rn" . // end of additional text message But , I can't see WHERE in the paypal_ipn.php or ipn.php I need to alter! Sorry :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidandrews Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 HI AlexStudio Thanks, but that didn't work I just added as follows to ipn.php // lets start with the email confirmation // $order variables have been changed from checkout_process to work with the variables from the function query () instead of cart () in the order class $email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $_POST['invoice'] . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $_POST['invoice'], 'SSL', false) . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n"; if ($order->info['comments']) { $email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n\n"; } $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . $products_ordered . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n"; $email_order .= "rnThank you for your order! rn Enjoy! rn" . Now , no email confirmation comes back at all!! Hope there is something else i needed to do? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidandrews Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 also, (forgot to mention) I noted that on the orders that didn't send out an email (because of the new line i added) the order status shows as Preparing the other orders with no altered email (default) shows as processing On both occasions, the paypal transaction (payment) was made, but different order statuses All i am wanting to do is just add a simple line of text to each email order that goes out, but I am missing something, I am baffled!! Thanks so much for helping me! Hope we can get a solution as I would have thought it would be easy enough to just add a line of text to each email.

boliviasfinest Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Did you try removing Paypal IPN (Credit Card / Debit) module and re-installing? Yes, I tried in the store admin to remove and then install again, but it shows up False in the enable right after installing, I go to edit and try to enable, then update and keeps showing false. I have also tried removing all the files from the contribution and uploading them again and installing again at the admin, but same result. This evening I will try what Cliff suggested. I havent been able to try Mega's suggestion because I dont know where to enable through the database, I dont know if its in the phpmyadmin or in the database.php files in the directory. Thanks Alex, and to Mega and Cliff for your suggestions, I will let you know how it goes. Boliviasfinest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know why. I'm trying to check the advice in reards of the sessions. I've not installed SSL yet. I have tried to enable disable Prevent Spider Session but no luck. Nevertheless, the stock was actually updated correctly and order confirmation email was sent . everything seems to be o.k. except , it directs to login.php I have no problem with the cash payment method. Could I simply enable Auto Return in the PayPal account and set the return pathway to the checkout_process.php file ? it seems to solve the problem but I'm not sure if I would miss something else.

ryanbehrman Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have installed the IPN Mod and when I enter my password in PayPal Sandbox to pay, I receive the following error: This invoice has already been paid. For more information, please contact the merchant. I am only using one osCom store and I have disabled the invoice ID checking (Both of these are the recommended fixes in the help files for this mod). However, problem still remains. It only occurs in the Sandbox (when using the live option of the IPN mod, the problem does not occur) but unfortunately it is necessary for me to use the Sandbox because PayPal will not allow me to have 2 accounts with the same bank account for testing with. Does anyone know a fix for this error occuring in the Sandbox for this mod, besides the 2 options supplied in the mod's help file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidandrews Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Hey AlexStudio !! You rock!! It worked! But How do I changed the position of the text in the emai?

Hi, I have a very similar Problem. Everything works fine, until I try to return from paypal [sandbox] using the "complete your order confirmation" button. Then I get the login.php page. I've analyzed this and looked into the hidden fiels in the paypal-form. The return address is correct and if I copy it into the browser's address bar and press enter I get the correct page. But if I use the button I get just the login.php-page with a new osCsid. The one in the hidden field is the correct one. Does anybody have an idea? It wouldn't be so bad if the user wouldn't still have his shopping cart after logging in. I've already searched the entire payment Modules area for session and osCsid, but couldn't find anything... :'( Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexStudio Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Oh oh, if you want that text placed at the bottom of the email, just define it in the language level file includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_IPN_TEXT_EMAIL_FOOTER. Don't forget to remove the code you added in ipn.php.

DeadDingo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Does this populate paypal with the corect item descriptions if multiple items have been bought or does it work the same way as V1.3 and V1.4 and just display the store name? I am currently using 1.3 so should it be as simple as remove the old install and replace it with this new one? The only change I did to 1.3 was the following FIND $parameters['item_name'] = STORE_NAME; REPLACE WITH: $parameters['item_name'] = $_SESSION['FixOrder']; (which I will want to do again if the answer to my first question is a no) and changed the default currency from USD to GBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
