[MS2-MAX UPDATE] PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN 1.7

[michael_s]

The original paypal IPN module included in MS2-MAX is outdated. I have updated the paypal module to the PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN v1.7 by Gregory Baboolal.

This update package does 3 things:

1. Remove the old paypal IPN 0.98
2. Install the new Paypal module.
3. Fixes the problem with Downloads not being immediately available upon completion of payment. Note: the transaction status should be set to Updated in the paypal module setup for downloads to be instantly available.

The download is attached to this post. There are full instructions on how to install this update. Mostly, just upload and go, if you are running stock MAX v1.5.5

I've followed the instructions and when I log into my admin I get this error:

Warning: main(includes/boxes/paypalipn.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\web\catalog\admin\includes\column_left.php on line 51

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/boxes/paypalipn.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\web\catalog\admin\includes\column_left.php on line 51

Why?

[Kristine]

I went to the catalog/admin/column_left.php and commented out line 51

//require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'paypalipn.php'); // PAYPALIPN

I'm in my admin-payments and have installed paypal. I think this is the new one, since there seems to be more options to set.

alrighty, I had to make another paypal account to test this. LOL
I recieved my payment notification and as the buyer got my receipt. But in the test instructions it says to go to the admin->customers for the paypal_ipn link to select and view a transaction. It's not there? Would that be the first error I recieved when installing and also the line I commented out in the column_left.php?

One other thing, when the payment was completed in the paypal screen I clicked continue and was directed to:

http://localhost/catalog/checkout_su...edirect&os
Csid=9fa4f0e74664f94479a01a465199cee9

with this error message:

1146 - Table 'mydata.table_paypalipn_txn' doesn't exist

select o.orders_status,p.* from orders o LEFT JOIN TABLE_PAYPALIPN_TXN p on p.item_number = o.orders_id AND o.customers_id = '5' order by o.date_purchased desc limit 1

Kristine, there was a file missing in the first release of the mod. I have added it. Re-install the mod by uploading all files to your server again. I think I got it right this time!

Remember, you will need to give the links permission in your admin 'File groups' to be accessable.

One last thing, it looks like you have not properly configured your paypal module since that is the default value.

You need to go to modules payment and install the paypal module. Then configure all the new options. Also make sure you properly set up the IPN in paypal.com. It needs to be blank and autoreturn on. according to the instructions from the orginal author.

ok trying again now

[Kristine]

ok, i recieve 1 payment notification and one receipt. I get redirected to the current page after clinking continue when the payment transaction is complete. But there is nothing showing in my store regarding the order. Should there be a link to the paypal transactions in the left box in admin? There isn't

[Kristine]

set the auto return, and it works. Now I just need to know why the orders aren't showing up in my admin?
Could it have something to do with me being on a local install?

Kristine, Sorry for the problems! It is not you. I think I was a bit sleepy last night, and I made a few mistakes on packaging the release.

I have fixed the problems. 2 files were incorrect in the previous release. Re-download the package and upload the /admin/includes/filenames.php file and the /admin/includes/database_tables.php files.

This will fix the problems of not being able to see the link in the admin.

Thanks for your patience and testing. I do appreciate it a lot!
