v154
php 7.3.30

My paypal payment options have disappeared from my zencart admin panel also I am getting as far as the checkout screen where the customer decides how they would like to pay and am getting no further. Select payment by credit card or paypal and the screen just sits there.

Paypal files are still sitting in my file structure.

Please can you tell me what files are the ones I need to restore paypal back into my admin settings. (paypaldp+paypalwpp).

Regards

While I'm not totally clear on the manner in which the PayPal modules have disappeared, I'll note that zc154 was designed to support PHP versions 5.5 and 5.6. I'm guessing that running that Zen Cart version on PHP 7.3.30 is the root-cause of your issue(s).

Does your webhost support 'dropping' that PHP version to one supported by your base version of Zen Cart (e.g. PHP 5.6)?

I normally dont touch my site but I did download the tableau2 template and then reverted back to my usual Sheffield blue template.

Then I started getting lots of warning logs, my sitemap generation reverted back to using standard zen cart urls rather than my simple seo urls.

To me, I think the php version changed, I dont think its my downloading of the template, which I got to work. Im asking my host, if thats what happened and have to wait for an answer.

In the meantime, Im just trying to get my website up and working. I dont have any option under my website admin to select paypal, it just isnt there, when its been there for years. I dont know what makes it appear inside my admin as an option to select and fill in the parameters.


Ive been asked before what paypal Im using and I really dont know how to answer that question. I dont have enough knowledge. The files I have are paypaldlp.php and paypalwpp.php . The files are still there in my website structure.

The trouble is, tableau2 clobbered a bunch of core files that don't come back just because you change back templates.
You might need to get a file restore of your cart files from your hoster. Alternatively, you could take this opportunity to upgrade, since your cart is very old.

The other problem is that there are payment modules located in ZC 1.5.4 that do not work in more recent php versions such that when viewing the list of payment modules, it stops "short" giving a partial blank screen.

Since the list of files in includes/modules/payment have been looked at, please identify the filename(s) of the files in that directory so that further assistance to that one issue can be resolved even though it appears multiple issues may be present.

My host has come back and said that they havent recently changed the php version.

And Ive just noticed that ... selection of admin/customers/PayPal IPN is giving a 500 screen error.

Plus although Ive put my site into maintenance mode the Cpanel log is producing several logs every minute, most just warnings.
Its hard to pick out any errors. Wasnt expecting it to produce several logs every minute.

When I added tableau2 to my website I tried not to overwrite any of my existing files, but half copying it up bought my website down
so I went for it and copied up all the files. I got my website back and tableau2 working.

The reason I downloaded it was I have a render page blocking issue on my website and dont know how to solve this as solving
could have speeded up the website. The tableau2 template doesnt have this issue, but I dont have enough knowledge to
get the template into the format I visually need it in. So Im caught between the two templates. Ive been looking longingly at removing
render page blocking with no knowledge how to do it for a long time.

I have been quoted $250 an hour to put get my website back up and working again and cant afford to do that.

Ive got further along with getting my website back as I got past the "go to checkout button".

Ive downloaded the latest version of zencart into a folder but if I do upgrade it I will struggle with its visual look as I dont have the knowledge.

Im getting very stressed about this. Also, will have to stop for a while as Ive got something else happening so Im up against time and money !

I assume that solving the 500 error is the priority and may solve the other missing paypal options.

Ive solved the admin/customers/PayPal IPN ... 500 screen error
Added curly open and close brackets in includes/modules/paypal/paypal_functions.php

Im not understanding why Im getting pages and pages of warnings on my code as if there had been a php upgrade.

Theres another error to solve ... Reference error zcJS not defined.

PHP Code:

} else {
          // handle other order totals:
          global ${$order_totals[$i]['code']};
          if ((substr($order_totals[$i]['text'], 0, 1) == '-') || (isset($$order_totals[$i]['code']->credit_class) && $$order_totals[$i]['code']->credit_class == true)) {
            // handle credits
            $creditsApplied += round($order_totals[$i]['value'], 2);
          } else {
            // treat all other OT's as if they're related to handling fees or other extra charges to be added/included
            $surcharges += $order_totals[$i]['value'];
          }
        }
      }

Can you confirm this by viewing the PHP version on your "Version page?

https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/first_steps/version/

PHP Version: 7.3.30 (Zend: 3.3.30)

Ive been fixing a lot of the warnings that are in my logs.

This was helpful with some of them ...

Ive got some left I cant sort

Then I have this main error to get my website through to taking payments.

Ive been recreating the error and using Chrome Inspect. I dont really know what Im doing or whether this is useful but this is what comes back

Exception: ReferenceError: zcJS is not defined at collectsCardDataOnsite (https://www.xxx.co.uk/checkout_payment:63:2) at check_form (https://www.xxx.co.uk/checkout_payment:716:11) at HTMLFormElement.<anonymous> (https://www.xxx.co.uk/checkout_payment:92:32) at HTMLFormElement.dispatch (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/lib...min.js:2:43090) at HTMLFormElement.v.handle (https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/lib...min.js:2:41074)

It doesnt seem to like ... If (formPassed == false)

    });

I found this ...

https://sourceforge.net/p/zencart-ge...e99e4eb46:1108

Is that the code I should have ? If the answer is yes.

Would it be better/easier to replace what is in my websites includes/modules/pages/checkout_payment/jscript_main.php with with the same file out of a zen cart v1.5.5 download ?

These are the files I have in includes/modules/payment

For those not sighted:

authorizenet.php
authorizenet_aim.php
authorizenet_echeck.php
cod.php
freecharger.php
linkpoint_api.php
moneyorder.php
nochex_apc.php
paypal.php
paypaldp.php
paypalwpp.php

I expect at least linkpoint_api.php to be a problem. There may be trouble with other modules, but linkpoint_api.php has specifically been identified as not compatible in future versions with higher php versions and even if/when modified for compatibility, the payment module was removed because it was not going to be further supported.

Recommendation is to remove includes/modules/payment/linkpoint_api.php and the accompanying language file(s) associated with it: includes/languages/english/modules/payment/linkpoint_api.php

That should either restore the admin modules payment window or at least provide more items in the list. If not, then check the error logs again looking at the myDEBUG-adm file(s) most recently created to see what issue(s) are identified. Note that the file will contain your admin directory name which really should not be shared publicly.

Out of those selections I only use the Paypal options.

I used nochex and moneyorder a long time ago.

Have never had any of the other switched on.
I have never used linkpoint. I dont know what it is.
Do you still think I should remove it ?

These are the only 2 options I give as a choice for customers ...

Attachment 19783

This is all I have showing up in admin

Attachment 19786

Wow ... I renamed the linkpoint files ... and the paypal options have reappeared !!!


Attachment 19787

Do I have to change the function "CollectsCardDataOnsite" to function "doesCollectCardDataOnsite"

in includes/modules/pages/checkout_payment/jscript_main.php

re: this https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....t-Thread/page7

If so, I assume that "doesCollectCardDataOnsite" has to replace the old "collectsCardDataOnsite" rather than be included with it.

Thank you for your help.
However Im still stuck with a non-working website with no clue how to move forward.
Not sure if I should be copying in any files I find for paypal from a v155 download.
I think it the code stops on return formPassed.
I just know that clicking either of the paypal radio buttons for payment doesnt move the payment forward.

Code:

---

function methodSelect(theMethod) {
  if (document.getElementById(theMethod)) {
    document.getElementById(theMethod).checked = 'checked';
  }
}

    function doesCollectsCardDataOnsite(paymentValue)
    {
        if ($('#'+paymentValue+'_collects_onsite').val()) {
            if($('#pmt-'+paymentValue).is(':checked')) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

function doCollectsCardDataOnsite()
{
  var str = $('form[name="checkout_payment"]').serializeArray();

  zcJS.ajax({
    url: "ajax.php?act=ajaxPayment&method=prepareConfirmation",
    data: str
  }).done(function( response ) {
  $('#checkoutPayment').hide();
  $('#navBreadCrumb').html(response.breadCrumbHtml);
  $('#checkoutPayment').before(response.confirmationHtml);
  $(document).attr('title', response.pageTitle);
 });
}

    $(document).ready(function(){
      $('form[name="checkout_payment"]').submit(function() {
          $('#paymentSubmit').attr('disabled', true);
                  formPassed = check_form();
          if (formPassed == false) {
              $('#paymentSubmit').attr('disabled', false);
          }
          return formPassed;
              });
    });

//--></script>

Also getting this ...


Attachment 19788

You've got an additional script loading (jscript_lazy.js) that's got a syntax error.

Yes, I know ... and I cant fix it.

Just to let you know that Ive given up on my v1.5.4 website and have now downloaded the latest version of Zencart.

I was hoping that I could get my website taking paypal payments, just so I could buy some more time. But it looks harder to get the payments working than I thought.

Thank you for your help.
