paypal ipn with oscmax

[justedee]

So what is suppose to happen next. I have the same problem, but I am the person who is making the purchase so I now I'm not pressing cancel.
I get the same email (as the owner of the site), I'm told I'm leaving the site (as the customer) and then I receive and error message (as the customer) Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/content/d/a/z/dazedangels/html/oscMAX2/catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php on line 521
I will receive the error email for days (as the website owner) the customer doesn't know if the order has been placed, because they received an error. I do receive the order, but I need that error to actually lead to a page. What should happen? Where should it lead? What should the customer see?

If you are using Paypal IPN mod, it does not matter if they never return to your site.

That is what IPN is for. Regardless of customer actions, if they complete the sale at Paypal, then your shop will get an IPN notice of the sale, even if they never return to your site.

This may be true. However, I look pretty stupid every time they hit "complete your order confirmation" and they get an error message.

I know it's just one little detail that I'm missing.

Your problem is different than being discussed in this thread, so you are a little out of context comparing your issue to the one I replied to.

This thread, there is no error message. I was merely explaining that if the customer completes the order and decides not to return to your site, the order will still be recorded in osCMax regardless. Nothing looks stupid about that, since there is no error, and it is a great feature.

See my reply to your other thread, and do not cross post your issue into multiple threads, it is against forum rules and bad form. This thread is about something else entirely, and your forking the thread is not helpful. Keep that in mind for future posts. It makes it easier for everyone.

My reply to your other post: PayPal Errors

Sorry, you misunderstood. I was just being a wise ass when it came to this comment.

As for the error:
I'm getting the same error email whenever an order is placed. Along with all the other stuff I posted, so it does apply.

This is what he posted and this is what I'm getting.
The Email error:

$_GET:

I have found that there are about 3 people on this site who know what they are talking about (you are one of them)
About 5 people who have had a problem and are nice enough to tell you what they did and then there are the rest of us.
If I want an answer I have found it is best to leave many replies on many different posts that way someone may see that something new has been posted and may help me out. If not, I may never find the answer. On this site it's all about the strategy (again smart ass comment! But many people agree with me)

eDee, strategy or not, cross posting is a violation of forum rules :
http://www.oscmax.com/forums/faq.php...faq_post_rules

I hate cross posting. It dilutes the content, makes things hard to find and wastes everybody else's time. It is very inconsiderate, and since we are all about being considerate to others, we don't cross post

Most times I will move your cross posts back to your original thread or if I am short on time, just remove the cross post altogether. Today, I felt like typing, so you get a lecture (lucky you)

I read just about everything posted on this site, and if I have time, I will get to your thread eventually. Also, if you want your post to come to the top of the listings, every now and then post a relevant update to it. That will bring it back to all of our attention without breaking any forum rules like cross posting.

Now, try what I suggest in your original thread and post your results to that thread. Whether my suggestion works or not, that is where your reply belongs.

If you are having trouble with PayPal IPN on Godaddy hosting and keep getting emails with "PayPal IPN: Invalid", then it is curl settings in the ipn.php file. I am using OSCMax 1.7. Below is part of the coding in ipn.php ....
function authenticate($domain) {
$paypal_response = '';
$curl_flag = function_exists('curl_exec');
if($curl_flag) {
$ch = @curl_init();
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://$domain/cgi-bin/webscr");
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, 0);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->_response_string);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
//BEGIN GODADDY FIX
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
//@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128");
//END GODADDY FIX
$paypal_response = @curl_exec($ch);
@curl_close($ch);
if($paypal_response == '') $curl_flag = false;
}

EDIT: OH CRAP! I found it, fix already done. Still having the same problem, but thank you for your help.
***********************************************
I am using GoDaddy, but I'm not sure where or what to do with this code. I'm very new at programming. Do I need to add, delete, change? Help?
Will it matter that I'm using OSCMax 2. The other fix didn't help, commenting out the lines didn't help - I have higher hope for this, but how do I use it? What do I do?
