Note : Code has a notifu url in place that will override setting on paypal profile.
Paypal profile will not allow a blank value if you set IPN to true so use what I stated above or any dummy value.

Satish

Thanks Satish,

Which of the following goes in the Auto Return for Website Payments?

catalog/checkout_success.php
catalog/checkout_process.php

I have seen both stated in posts and also have seen posts saying that previous posters were wrong in recommending one or the other.

Thanks again
Tom

Use Module that comes with oscommerce 2.3.1 if there is no specific reason with the version you plan to go.

Satish

Hi Satish,

Thanks for the reply. I am running an old version "application_top.php,v 1.272 2003/03/31 " of oscommerce.

I downloaded the zip 2.3.1 and see all the files. However the catalog/ext/modules/payment/paypal/standard_ipn.php is in the EXT directory and my version of oscommerce does not have an EXT directory. If I install the file in my catalog/includes/modules/payment directory then the

chdir('../../../../');
require('includes/application_top.php');

code will fail because the chdir will cd one directory back to far and the subsequent require will fail.

Can I just change the chdir to chdir('../../../'); or am I opening a can of worms.

In Topic: Which PayPal module for old 1.2 Oscommerce?

Tom,

Even OLD heavily modified stores need to be updated at some point. You are doing your client an injustice by not telling them they need to create a new site using v2.3.1.

Having said that, most any of the PayPal modules will function even with the older versions.

Thanks Chris,

I have recommended the upgrade and they will be upgrading at the 1st of the New Year.

Thanks for the info on compatibility. I was not sure if an older version of OSC relying on Globals ON would work with a new PayPal module.
