Re: Payflow Gateway Update

Sorry.
What happened when you reduced the instructions to just this part: ?

If i could locate the line you mention i would change it. It's just a long file and usually i have no trouble editing files but i cannot locate where the code is to change.

Perhaps it's easier if i used a program which will give me the exact line you mention.

Do you recommend a free FTP program that can locate the lines as mentioned in your posts ?

A couple popular free editors ideal for working with PHP files include Notepad++ and Crimson Editor. Both show line numbers, offer good search capability, and even do syntax highlighting which helps make the code easier to read and even spot syntax errors when making changes.

Notepad++ can be set to be the default editor for .php files, and thus your FTP program *might* let you use it as the editor instead of its built-in editor (which sounds like is pretty weak).

Worst case, you may find that you'll have to download the file to your PC, then open the file with your editor, make changes, and then upload the file back to the server.

As per DrBytes instructions i used Notepad II and pasted the information from the PayPalwpp file into it.

I then did a search for the information using Notepad II's search facility and located it on line 2079.

So i thought i would share this with people and if you are using CuteFTP or certain other FTP programs to edit your files directly on the server then the information to edit may in some circumstances be located at line 2079.

For the PayPaldpp file the code was found on line 1771 using Cute FTP.

I must be using a modified PayPal file perhaps because i am using a module add on which overwrote the original files because i note on another zencart install i did that the file lines to edit are indeed exactly where DrByte mentions they should be on the instructions.

So ignore my advice above and i'm scratching my head as to why my PayPal files are modified.

Perhaps fire up WinMerge?

Perhaps fire up WinMerge?

I just had a quick look while changing the file in the new install for another site.

It seems there is a lot of line break spaces in the file which has the changes at line 2079 and line 1771 on my original site. The spaces come cleanly though and don't mess with any code.

Nothing has been altered just a lot of spaces between code.

Everything works though. Should i just upload a new file to cut out those spaces or leave it as it is ?

I have no idea how it got that way as i have not touched those files as far as i recall.

Sometimes FTP programs will change the line-endings of files, resulting in double-spacing of everything. Sometimes this happens by using cheap editors built-in to some FTP programs. (That's not meant to be a slight at you, just a observation of fact from personal experience and numerous similar reports on the forum.)

If you're certain that the file is otherwise unchanged, uploading a fresh properly-formatted version of the file should be harmless, and will make life easier later if edits are required.

In the case of your PayPal file, if you do upload a replacement make sure you remember to make the appropriate edit to the file ... after all, that's why we're having this discussion in the first place, right? :)
