Need to add a squawk for PP pro

[enigmabomb]

V1.3.8
addon: COWOA
VPS Dedicated server

Problem: Im missing out on sales. I have paypal module installed but CURL was not installed. Orders would come through, debug would send me some information, but nothing would show up in admin, or in paypal.

Solution: Install CURL.

Real Solution: The Paypal Pro Module needs to have a red box at the top a la poor permissions to let people know PAYMENTS ARE NOT GOING THROUGH -- CURL IS NOT ENABLED -- SEE PAYMENT MODULES FOR MORE INFO

Just an idea. I dont have time to root through the pp module code right now, but maybe put this on a todo list? This issue cost me 300+ dollars this week.

Hopefully I can help someone else,

Thanks,
Josh

Did you do any testing *before* going live?

I just changed servers about a week ago, and the new server, of course, did not have CURL. I went through the site, made sure it talked to the DB ok, and everything looked fine. I didnt think about a problem such as this. Live and learn I suppose.

The squawk is a good idea though, regardless of how stupid I was.
