Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top? - PayPal Donation Extension
Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Hmm okay, so I had everything on.. but i changed the IPN notification URL from just being my /forums/
to my /forums/app.php?/donate extension and did a test donation which seemed to have worked. Does that make any sense to you? I mean I guess it worked that way now.. lol

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
This is not important if the URL is not valid. The extension provides the correct return URL when you make a donation.
But you can set it with: http://domain.tld/forums/app.php/ipn-listener

@dynserver
Can you test with your real PayPal ID on the test board?
As explained prevouisly, it works on the test board with my PayPal ID.
If it still not working, I think I will raised an Issue on PayPal services.

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Hey so I'm back now, because the problem happened again.. I didnt touch anything. It seemed to work for a couple weeks since my last message in april 14th. I didn't know you replied and wanted more information on the problem.
But yeah so it's pretty much doing the same thing again. What was it that you wanted me to help you with?

Hi,
As explained in my 2 previous message, I have no errors with the Sandbox or the PayPal config on your demo board.
What I expected was a test on your demo board with your real PayPal ID.
If it works with your ID on the demo board => There is an issue with your live board.
If it doesn't work with your ID on the demo board => There is an issue with your PayPal ID.
Please, let me know.

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Yeah the test board works.. Just donated to myself twice on the test board. What do you think the problem is?? what could possible be causing the issues. My forum template?
other extensions?
specific permissions? (although these are all set normally..)

Hard to say what causing this issue without adding more check point in the code. Especially when the issue seems to come from outside the extension.
I will provide you with a code to insert in the files to track when the IPN listener fails.

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Sounds good, I'm here and ready when you are.
EDIT:
It's weird. I turned off IPN settings and donated.. but the donation bar doesnt want to go up.. it didnt go up with IPN on.. so I figure maybe I'll turn it off.. and it still doesnt go up on donations. Wonder what's wrong .

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Update:
Actually I just went ahead and disabled ALL extensions, change to default template + checked cookie and board settings on my live board and nothing still works..
So..
this brings me to only comparing the PHPbb versions..
Live board that doesnt work = 3.1.9 [ Re-Check version ]
Test board that works = 3.1.7-pl1 [ Re-Check version ]
Now I didn't think 3.1.7 vs 3.1.9 would have a huge effect? That's why the test board is 3.1.7 cause thats the closest download I could find on phpbb for it...
however isnt it supportive of 3.1.9 anyways?
Tell me if I should do anything else, as I was going to raise concern on paypals side.. but then I realized that would be pointless because technically it DOES work on the test board.. so it wont be paypals side.

The donation bar is automatically updated only if the IPN settings are enabled.dynserver wrote: It's weird.

If a donation is made without IPN, you must update the donation bar manually.
Can you upgrade the test board to 3.1.9 ?dynserver wrote: Live board that doesnt work = 3.1.9 [ Re-Check version ]
Test board that works = 3.1.7-pl1 [ Re-Check version ]
the extension is compatible with 3.1.3 and later.dynserver wrote: Now I didn't think 3.1.7 vs 3.1.9 would have a huge effect? That's why the test board is 3.1.7 cause thats the closest download I could find on phpbb for it...

Yes, if it works on the test board, this is not a PayPal issue.dynserver wrote: Tell me if I should do anything else, as I was going to raise concern on paypals side.. but then I realized that would be pointless because technically it DOES work on the test board.. so it wont be paypals side.
In addition, you seem to be the only one to have this issue.
I'll try to give you tests code for next Monday or Tuesday.

Open the file "ppde_ext_path/controller/ipn_listener.php"
Find
Replace with

Open the file "ppde_ext_path/controller/ipn_listener.php"
Find
Code: Select all
// if no connection detected, disable IPN, log error and exit code execution
if ($this->get_curl_fsock() == 'none')

Re: Donations Not Showing + Donation Bar At The Top?
Please can you confirm that the code below is the same in your log file?
Because the chars
It should be
Code: Select all
business ********@******.com
confirmed
exchange_rate
first_name EV******
item_name
item_number uid_2_1497359279
last_name ARTS*******
mc_currency USD
mc_gross 3.00
mc_fee 0.39
parent_txn_id
=
is missing between the variable and the value.It should be
Code: Select all
business = ********@******.com
confirmed =
exchange_rate =
first_name = EV******
item_name =
item_number = uid_2_1497359279
last_name = ARTS*******
mc_currency = USD
mc_gross = 3.00
mc_fee = 0.39
parent_txn_id =
