Paypal - payment Module

[G Force]

For my gift store I have chosen Paypal as the only means of payment in the payment module.

When I choose paypal and edit --everything updates except my email address for my paypal acount.

So when someone purchases an item it gets all the way through checkout

but when you hit confirm order, and the Paypal page comes up it says [email protected] in the header

and (ERROR DETECTED - return to merchant) below.

 

I have gone back to the payment module many times

but it will not update and save my PAYPAL email address

it always says [email protected]

 

Please help!

Do this

Go into your phpmyadmin and see what is the name of your configuration table

 

Then issue this command

 

update configuration set configuration_value='email@youremail' where

WHERE configuration_key = 'MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ID'

Thank you OSC for the info

 

but I am very new to SQL and PHP

could you take me through the process more specifically

 

from PHPMYADMIN

 

Do I go to the configuration table and then run an SQL query??

 

Thanks in advance for your help

Can anyone HELP me through my paypal module problem

I assume you have phpmyAdmin working and can access the osCommerce database.

 

- click on the table CONFIGURATION in the left panel

- click browse/explore at the top left to browse the records of the database

- in my case it only shows the first 60 records to begin with, you need to go to configuration_id 144 by showing more records with the controls at the bottom of the table

- click on the edit pencil on line 144 and change the email address and click go/start at the bottom to update the database

 

I had the same problem and osccoder's solution seemed to complicated to me too. If you're careful than accessing the database directly is the easiest way to manipulate it. (Remember to backup before though)

 

Good luck.

Hey Trickerworld,

 

Thank you so much! There are so many threads started and not completed on this forum, it was absolutely fantastic to come across such a clear solution.

 

Thanks again!
