Paypal module update..

[ettendu]

Hello all,

I am still using 1.3.0, but have been applied patches whenever I can, but
haven applied one for paypal yet. I still couldn't get paypal roundtripping to work.
(I have make sure the user name, paypal setting is corrects, and making
sure the host is not blocking any bidirectional communication, only using US$ no language issues I suppose)
I would like to get the log going, so at least I can figure oout what's going on.

I understand that there have been lot of changes in paypal module, is there any way for me to patch only the paypal module without upgrading the site. Since it s a live site, I can't afford the potential downtime.

I tried to simply copy over the paypal files ipn_main_handler and others, but it didn't work, I guess there must have been additional changes required or even db changes.

Even just letting me know verbally what being fixed in paypal module would be great, then at least I can try to fix it myself.


THanks in advance for any help.

remove the includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php file

note only remove the one from your custom directory.

Are you saying that remove this one file, and then I can copy the new paypal module from 1.3.5?

Thanks again for all the help.

Merlin,

Maybe I am missing something.
I just did a diff between my customized meta-tags.php and the default
meta-tags.php

The only differences are the following defines:

TITLE
SITE_TAGLINE
CUSTOM_KEYWORDS
SECONDARY_SECTION
TERTIARY_SECTION

These defines are changed to fit my site. I don't quite understand how this
prevent me to install paypal module from 1.3.5 to 1.3.0

Is there any database changes needed in 1.3.5 for paypal module update?

there is an issue with old version of 1.3.x

take the file out of the over rides file,
it breaks paypal.

I would suggest removing the includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

ok now I got a bit further, thanks.

Now my logging is working, and here is the log

Thu Oct 2006 17:09 -- IPN NOTICE::Got past language loads


Just this one line.

So does this means that I am not receiving the response from paypal?

Thanks again for your help.

Yep ... that is the one core file I know of that you have to modify. It can't go in your override files. You can customize the information in includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php, but don't try to put a copy in your override folder. Hoped it was fixed for 1.3.5, but I guess not.
