Paypal not grabbing item title

[signs]

I just discovered this today, but it has apparently been going on for some time (once I looked back through older emails).

The product title on the paypal payment screen says "MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE"

and in the receipt emails it says "Item/Product Name: MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE"

here's a screenshot of what the payment screen looks like:


Anyone have any idea? BTW, the misspelling of "description" above is a c/p directly from the sources, not retyped in error by me.

Everything is working fine other than that, I get the orders in admin, I get the emails from paypal...it's just that the item title/description doesn't show up.

Check the PHP syntax!

From what I believe its in the file: /includes/modules/payment/paypal.php

Okay, now I have to admit my stupidity to the world (or at least you guys), but maybe it will help someone in the future. Here's what happened:

About a month ago a friend, who also has a zencart, and I both edited our paypal.php pages so that the paypal cc logo would display beside the word "Paypal" on the checkout payment page.

I messed mine up and instead of working more dilligently to try and correct my file, I had her give me a copy of hers. It appeared to work just fine and I thought no more about it.

In discovering this error in the emails and on the paypal payment page, however, I was forced to track down the error of my ways. When I went via FTP to look at the paypal.php file, I noticed the paypal.BAK file there and that's when I remembered editing the page.

Light dawns on Marble Head....

Her version of zen is different than mine. Doh! I reverted back to my original paypal.php file and all is right with the world. heh...I even figured out how to add the graphics to mine.

Thanks for the update ... we appreciate you fessin' up ...

Always a help to others to know just how easy it is to goober your own code and forget about it ...

Yeah, and I learned the hard lesson of backing up files with a error previous to that one, so fixing this was just a matter of deleting her file and renaming my bak file to paypal.php. I DO learn from my mistakes...I just can't seem to quit making new and different ones.

I have just installed Zen Cart 1.3.7 and I am seeing the same thing.

I haven't modified any code.

Any thoughts?

Make sure that you have installed the latest Patch for PayPal at:

Check that your /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php has this line in it (usually near the bottom):

  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_PURCHASE_DECRIPTION_TITLE', STORE_NAME . ' Purchase');

And yes, the misspelling of "DESCRIPTION" vs "DECRIPTION" is noted, and will be adjusted in a later release. It's used consistently with the incorrect spelling, thus will not be a problem functionally.

I have checked that file and it does have the line.

During checkout (http://www.numinix.com)

It displays the Item as 'Item#' in the PayPal checkout process.
