osCommerce PayPal IPN Question

[zalik22]

Hi,

 

When I try to install osCommerce PayPal IPN Module v1.1 For 2.2MS2, when I log into admin and try to click "install" to configure the parameters, nothing happens. I have deleted the files and uploaded them again, but it still does not work. Can somebody please help me? My customers are placing orders and I have to contact them to figure out what they purchased.

 

Thanks so much!

Hello zalik,

there are two issues

First is that your present Paypal module not able to collect the order details.This will happen if client does not return back to success page.So you need tose t Auto return on and make it to point to proper page.

Also there is a contribution where by changing some code will help.

 

Now for IPN on click if nothing is happening then we need to check

1)Values in your config tables whether the insert values are getting thru or not or is it already there.

2)Does you Data base user has the permission level to write to data base.

3)Make errors on by modifying application_top line that has & ~E_NOTICE for error reporting.This will help you in getting displayed errors to amke out where the execution stoped.

4)If no error found then you need to go By the echo method of debug followed BY most of the PHP developers.

First issue is taken care of. Regarding the 2nd issue, is there a way to "uninstall" it and then reinstall it. I think this will do the trick.

 

Thanks.

extract your config table and compare the config constant in the insert statement of the payment module with thhose in the config table.If they are same just delete tose rows and try.

 

Firsttaka a backup of your DB.

Can you be more descriptive? I am pretty much a newbie. Thanks!

I have looked at the paypal_ipn.php file in catalog/include/modules/payment. Is this the right file? Which line of code from this file do I need to compare with the config table?

 

Thanks
