Going crazy trying to install Paypal Module!

[horror_guy]

Hello,

 

I have tried 4 times to install this damn contrib and am going crazy. Everytime I get it installed and go to my admin cp and click on Localization > Order Status, all that comes up is a blank page!

 

It have replaced all files one by one to fix this and think it's an error in the database_tables.php file, because when I replace it with the original backed up one, the page displays fine.

 

It's all because of this step of the installation:

 

 

admin/includes/database_tables.php

 

 

Add:

 

 

//begin PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN
 require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES . 'payment/paypal/database_tables.php');
//end PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN

 

 

 

 

 

Where in the script do I add this? Top, bottom, middle? I have tried placing the above code everywhere on the page and it kicks a blank page back wherever I place it....

 

Thanks for your assistance and bringing me back to sanity!

Worse comes to worse you could always copy the defined contents of 'catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal/database_tables.php' and place it anywhere between the '<?php ?>' tags of catalog/admin/includes/database_tables.php.

 

But the admin->localization->Orders Status section has nothing to do with those paypal tables, and if you can even access the admin then realy that require statement in admin/database_tables.php isn't really the cause since you wouldn't even be able to load the admin default index.php script since all db tables are called via application_top.php

Also see the last page(s) of the forum support thread there is an important fix required regarding tinyint.

Isn't it also possible that their DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES doesn't have a '/' at the end of? You can check in admin/includes/configure.php.

I finished installing everything again, and configured the paypal module in my admin cp but when I go to view my shopping cart...

 

Low and behold a beautiful blank white page appears!!

 

Somehow it's nuked out my entire cart...must be really big problems with my catalog files now...

 

I have no idea what has caused this, as I followed all of the instructions in the install.

 

Im getting really frusterated, and have no idea as to whether I will ever get this cart up and running with this contrib. :(

Mark,

verify the edits made in catalog/includes/orders.php this is the *only* place which would affect the contents of your shopping cart by *this* contrib.

Thanks for your help Greg,
