PayPal eCheck Issues & Questions

[fepb]

Hi DrByte,

Thanks, yes, I will wait for the eCheck to clear before trying anything on my live store. I have a test store in a subdirectory where I try out contributions before installing them in my live store. I do have the debug log file activated and I have my log folder set to 777 just in case.

In answer to your questions:

1. Did you set a secret code?

Yes, I did set a secret code.

2. Did you rename your /admin/ folder to something else? If so, you'll need to also edit the path to your /admin/ area in the /pushorder.php file ... see almost the last line of the file to change the path for /admin/orders.php to something else.

No, I didn't rename the admin folder for my test store.

3. What "did" happen when you clicked to push the order ?

When I clicked to push the order, I was directed to my home page http://www.frangadesigns.com. My test store and test admin where I was trying to do the push orders are both under http://www.frangadesigns.com/store_test

I realized earlier this evening that it might be because I had my web hosting settings for error pages all redirected to my home page - 400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 500 & 501. I removed the redirect for 401 and 403 because I figure they're admin/authorization related, but still got the same result. But then I'm afraid I don't know much about this stuff yet, so that was pretty much just a stab in the dark.

I also tried what was suggested on the PayPal Sessions Viwer 2.0 thread (there's only 1 post on that page) - typing the url of the pushorder.php file in my browser address bar, but it took me to my test store's login page with a message that my session had expired.

Could it also be that I'm using v.1.3.7 and this contribution might not be compatible? I think the readme said it was made for v.1.3.6 and hadn't been tested for v.1.3.7.

...

On a happier note, I did come up with an alternate solution in case the IPN still doesn't come through. I installed the Store Credit module and can use it in conjuntion with PayPal Sessions Viewer 1.0 and Master Password by assigning store credit in amount of the payment, logging into the store with my master password (still in my test store), placing the order again and checking out using the store credit. Then I went into the database and changed the data in the 'order' and 'order_total' tables so the order details say PayPal instead of Store Credit.

It's a bit of a hassle especially because we sell custom clothing and each product comes with 5-15 attributes so there's a lot of decoding in the Stuck PayPal Orders (I've compiled and printed out a bunch of reference charts of our product, option name and option value IDs), but it'll work as a temporary fix at least for now. But getting the push order function to work would be a nice time-saver.

Sorry for the long post, but thanks for reading and for all the help; it's greatly appreciated.
