Guest Posted November 19, 2002 Posted November 19, 2002 I have been running OS Commerce for about 6 months now with very little problems. All of the suddent PayPal stopped working. Here is my problem. You can select an item and walk all the way through the checkout process including selecting the paypal option. When you click the confirmation button it takes you to paypal as usual. You can then proced and use your paypal account to make the purchase. That is what i dont understand. I get an email saying that the payment has been recieved. But when i go into the admin module I don't have any record of the order. I also tried making a purchase using the standard check/mone order and that works fine and registers in my orders table. It is just paypal that i am having the problems with. Can anyone help? By the way, i have a lot of modifications on my site so the first thing i did was download the latest release of OSC and upload it to my site. From their I drop all the tables in my catalog database and re-ran the install of OSC. After doing this I am still having the problem with paypal
wizardsandwars Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 search There. Now am I a bad ass, or what? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
Freedom Fighter Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Interesting site.. But you may want to check your "Powered By" at the bottom of the page. I think that's osCommerce software ;) -Alex Extreme Alterations
Guest Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 I don't know about mr. wizard being a bad ass but you were correct about searching. I actually found the mod for it 5 minutes after i posted. I belive there were some props to you for contributing to it, so thanks for your help. As for the freedom fighter here is the link on GPL: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.html to sum it up, the code is open source and according to the license i am free to use and sell it free of charge if i wish. If I lay claim to my modified code, i am allowed to and will do so use the words "Powered By". If anyone else has similar problems as I described above with PayPal, you will need to use the PayPal IPN module in the downloads section. It is still in beta form but the people developing it seem to be doing a good job. Really this was the answer I was looking for Nov. 19. 8)
Jan0815 Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 As for the freedom fighter here is the link on GPL: The correct link is: http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html to sum it up, the code is open source The code is Free Softwareand according to the license i am free to use and sell it free of charge if i wish. If I lay claim to my modified code, i am allowed to and will do so use the words "Powered By". You should learn a bit more about Free Software, Open Source, respect and copyright before saying something like that. Please explain where in the GPL you find a rule stating you are allowed to change the copyright at your desire? Hint: There is no such rule. Ofcourse you can claim copyright for sources you have written yourself. But your shop is a derivative work based on osCommerce. That's something different. As we have explained numerous times we have no problems with people removing the "powered by" slogan on the catalog side. But claiming that you have written the eCommerce software of your site completely by yourself is different. It is more like: "Hell, I have renamed Apache to Jan's WebserverSoftware, Mozilla to Jan's BrowserSuite, OpenOffice to Jan's Productivity Suite and Frontpage to Jan's WebDevSuite - but M$ didn't like the last action and yeahz, I understand. Frontpage is not OpenSource" I guess your car is a genuine "DikkoInc Turbo" that only looks like a Ford Proton ;-) SCNR You can't have everything. That's why trains have difficulty crossing oceans, and hippos did not adapt to fly. -- from the OpenBSD mailinglist.
Freedom Fighter Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 So was I the one in the wrong by saying "Check your powered by?" -Alex Extreme Alterations
wizardsandwars Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Apparently, the developers have stated that anyone can remove the "powered by", and put whatever they wish. However, it is not very curteous to a group that has been EXTREMLY gracious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

Harald Ponce de Leon Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 So was I the one in the wrong by saying "Check your powered by?" Our policy on the displayed copyright notice on the catalog frontend deals with the layout of the site only. The copyright notice can only change if the layout of the site changes and can be distinguished from the osCommerce copyrighted layout provided by default in the release package. Any related "powered by osCommerce" text is optional to display - this shows us your love for the project :blush: Because the GNU General Public License allows forks to occur, that "powered by" text can be replaced with "powered by MyOwnShop". What can't change however is the osCommerce copyright notices in the source code. We have a different copyright policy for the Administration Tool - the GNU General Public License allows us to force the display of the osCommerce copyright notice if the copyright announcement conforms to section 2c - even if the layout has been changed. This copyright announcement is not to steal credit for whatever layout changes has been made, but to control the distribution of osCommerce. A Frequently Asked Questions entry has been made about this issue and can be read here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community.php/faq,26/q,50 , osCommerce
Freedom Fighter Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Sorry if I ofended anyone.. I just thought it was wrong by removing or editing the "powered by" Thanks, -Alex Extreme Alterations
