Thanks. I somehow missed that.

A suggestion for an enhancement: Add the ability to have an text box on the donation main page that the user can fill in with a message to the administrator (or maybe optionally display on the donors page).

Installation
1.Unpack the package downloaded from Github and copy files to the ext/skouat/ppde directory.
this is not where it unzips to by default, it unzips to "ext_paypal_donation-master"

and it does not work so i guess Ihave to manualy change the directory, are you aware of this as many people might not realize this?

Thank you for this report, and you are right.
But people who download the extension in a development status should be able to install the extension properly, even if all files are unpacked in the wrong directory.
So I let them instrusctions as is.

Hello again. :) I'm currently testing this extension in sandbox mode and everything seems to work fine except one thing: all sandbox statistics on the overview page in the ACP have values of zero, even though I've done many test transactions. I use the sandbox accounts that were automatically generated. Refreshing the statistics doesn't help. Here's the log output of my latest transaction:

I also used the IPN simulator a few times but those tests aren't supposed to show up in the ACP statistics, I presume?

Also there aren't any entries in the transaction log. Are there supposed to be entries for sandboxed transactions?

Hi kasimi,

If you use the sandbox mode, only the transactions log and the overview page are updated.

Your sandbox transaction returned an INVALID response, that's why you don't see transactions.

For example, below you can find a valid response :
https://gist.github.com/efinst0rm/95768 ... ns-log-L24

It seems that the IPN transaction content returned to PayPal is not the same as the original.

The clue was in the docs you linked:
Ensure that you use the same character encoding for your response string as the encoding specified in the charset field of the original IPN message. When testing using the IPN Simulator, the character encoding will always be UTF-8.
I noticed the charset in my logs was windows-1252 so I had to change the encoding in my facilitator's account. I couldn't find the option in the account settings, this direct link saved me some time:

For real accounts:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customer ... e-encoding

For sandbox accounts:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/ ... e-encoding

After setting it to UTF-8 the sandbox transactions are now VERIFIED and show up in the transactions log. Thanks for the hints!

I tested on my demo board and all works as expected.

Have a look on the log you pasted in your previous post and you will see that you use the UTF-8.
=> Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Do not confuse with the text encoding on the form.

As, you seems use the DE language, please could you test with other Sandbox account?
