Hello, I was reading through the general forum, and I came across this thread in which a user of the "nochex" credit card processor received an email from a customer stating: Does anyone know if Paypal performs the checkout process correctly with oscommerce for successful/unsuccessful transactions, or is a modification needed? Thanks c

Hi, I'm hoping somewhere here might be able to point me in the right direction for a general OScommerce question. I apologize if this is bad form to ask a non-contribution related question in this thread, but people here seem to be much more responsive. My shop sells one-of-a-kind items, so I want to prevent customers from adding multiple quantities of the same item into their shopping cart. I realize that the oscommerce admin tool will allow me to not let a checkout complete if I don't have the specified quantity on hand, but I don't want the customer to have to deal with the "sorry, this item is sold out" routine of having to modify the quantity levels in their cart. My philosophy being that the customer's experience should be as user-friendly as possible, and that the store owner should attempt to account for as many scenarios as possible. So basically, the code I need help writing is: If the customer has a particular item in their shopping cart, and they click on the same item again, the item description page should <I>not</I> have the "add to cart" button displayed, and possibly a message saying "Sorry, but you already have this item in your cart". thanks for your help. pulp

I've already tried the sandbox, and appeared to be having some problems. I figured it would be best to start with the contribution's builtin IPN Test to make sure that it was working fine as far as the contribution is concerned, and then once that has been confirmed, move on testing at Paypal.

Hello, I'm still a bit confused on how to test my site before I go live. I'm going to list the steps I've taken, and would appreciate any feedback. I've turned Test Mode On, and have enabled the Cart Test. I start to place an order as a new customer, and stop when I get to the Paypal "Payment Details" page. I goto the Admin 'orders' page, and look at the order that has just been created: The top half of the screen has all of my customers information. The bottom half of the screen, under the Paypal section, all of the fields are blank except for: Transaction Signature: 89b789cb873a496ea62f11d9f1c4bf83 MC Currency: Settle Amount MC Gross: Settle Currency MC Fee: Exchange Rate The Products line shows: 1x Product Name Price$0.05 (that's the price I set for the item) USPS: 4.85 Total: 4.90 I assume this is normal for when using Test Mode On? The instructions say on the Test IPN Page say to: Copy and paste the Transaction Signature into the above Custom field and into the Transaction ID field The Transaction Signature from above pastes into the Custom field as: 89b789cb873a496ea62f11d9f1c4bf83 However, it pastes into the Tranaction ID field as: 89b789cb873a496ea Is it supposed to be truncated? I click the Test button, and receive the following results (I have changed my domain to @mydomain.com): Does the above show a successful test? Are there any test emails I need to look at at this point? Is it now safe to turn test mode off, and try some test transactions with paypal (I'm going to skip using the developer's zone) Thanks in advance, C

Hi, I have the contribution installed, and will be testing shortly. After reading through this thread (all 53 pages!), I have 3 questions: 1) One user commented that the sandbox doesn't return an IPN. If this is true, what is the purpose of testing through the sandbox? 2) What is the function of the "cart test"? One user commented that it had to be turned off in order for item quantities to be decremented properly, so what is the advantage of having it on. (does it need to be on for the sandbox?) 3) What should my testing procedure be, that is, what test results should I expect? And in order to fully test IPN, do I have to do some live testing, or is a full test possible through the sandbox? Thanks for all of your help. c

whoops, I just caught the text on the download page that reads " thanks c

John, I read through the instructions, and did a search for "popup_paypal.php", but I didn't find any mention of that file, or mention of why I info_paypal.php is missing from the file I downloaded. thank you for your quick response. c

Hi, I'm performing a new install of 2.6a, and have a question regarding step 2 which reads: The file I downloaded doesn't have catalog/info_paypal.php but instead it has: popup_paypal.php Am I missing a file, or as that part of the installation instructions out of date? Thanks c

Hi, Sorry if this has been answered, but nothing came up in my search. I want to install the contribution, but I'm not sure how to perform the following in phpmyadmin: ALTER TABLE orders ADD paypal_ipn_id INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE orders_products_attributes ADD products_options_id INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; ALTER TABLE orders_products_attributes ADD products_options_values_id INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; At your convenience, could someone instruct me (or point me to instructions) on how to alter the above tables? Thanks in advance, cb
