Please help, if you can?

Hello I have this wonderful addon set up on my board 3.2.2 (github edition) but whenever someone makes a donation, it is not logged (transaction log) or the individual moved to the group designed for them :(

I will supply whatever you need to help us resolve this thanks xxx

Hi,

Have you setup your PayPal account?
Have you tried with PayPal Sandbox?

OK so I tested the sandbox thing and it worked perfectly. It logged the notification and everything. I have absolutely no idea when when I use my own account it simply doesn't work!

Hi Naomi,

From what I recently discovered, PayPal requires more prerequisites.
- TLS v1.2
- HTTP/1.1

I've updated PPDE.

Please, can you test this new version?

How to update it?
- Upload new files on your board
- Purge the cache of phpBB
- Go to the Overview module of PPDE and recheck extension prerequisites.

Please let me know if all system settings are green.

Hello Sir

I did all you said but now when I try to use the extension via the admin panel all I get is a white screen? No options whatsoever!

Any ideas?

Hope this helps

Hi

Without a specified error it’s complicate to known what’s happening.
Please, Check your server errors log to find a PHP error

Hello

This is the error is throws out in the log:

Code: Select all

[b][07-Oct-2018 19:55:54 Europe/London] PHP Catchable fatal error:  Object of class phpbb\config\db could not be converted to string in /home/darkfair/public_html/veiledcoven/phpbb/extension/metadata_manager.php on line 49[/b]
Checked it a few times. Every time I click on one of the options that gives the white screen, that is the line that's added!

How did you update the extension? Did you disable it before updating the files?
Please can you purge the cache of phpBB?
Do you use the extension "Upload Extensions"?

I am not sure what the issue is. I did all the above but do not have the "Upload Extensions", is that essential?

My board version is the latest which is 3.2.3 I think so maybe I used the wrong one? I used the latest build you have on Github and now everything is working. Can't say the original issue is resolved yet as I have not had any donations since.

Same for me. I don't know why you having this issue. Maybe an incomplete upload during server file transfer.

Please can you test PPDE with Sandox ?
If you haven't Sandbox account Read the FAQ. ;)
This is to ensure that transactions are logged as expected in the Transactions log.

Last time I tried it with the Sandbox it logged perfectly it is when I don't use it that the donations are not logged. This was the original issue but like I said, I have updated to your latest release on Github and have to wait and see if a donation goes through and is logged. Thanks again for your support and patience with me.
