Orders Issue in Admin using paypal

[aphrodisia]

I have been thru the forums now for two weeks following directions on how to resolve this issue.

My orders are not displaying in Admin! Processing thru paypal successful. Using IPN Handler.

I am getting an error on
https://www.aphrodisia.com.au/shop/ipn_main_handler.php

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ipn_postback() in /hsphere/local/home/houseofd/aphrodisia.com.au/shop/ipn_main_handler.php on line 81

This could be the first start to my problem.

Any ideas how to correct the above error?

I have followed Dr Bytes instruction to
This suggests that your /includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_functions.php file is missing or incomplete

I am using 1.38a and have compared files from the software files to what I have and no difference cannot spot any errors.

Files are identical using Winmerge.

Is there any chance that your /includes/auto_loaders/paypal_ipn.core.php file is missing or incomplete?

[aphrodisia]

Hi Dr Byte,

thanks for your reply.

these files are located on the server and I have re-uploaded the files just in case.

I just put another order and it is still not showing in theadmin under new orders.
any more ideas? to help resolve this mystery.

[DrByte]

My suggestion was in relation to your first post, about the error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ipn_postback()

If the error message still appears, then you need to find out why the error message is happening when the files that contain the function it says is missing are on the server.

[aphrodisia]

what files contain that function?
Need more directions.

I have reverted back to the 1.3.7 ipn_handler.php file and there is no errors now.

There is programming error in the software on 1.3.8a that is causing this error message.

I think if this is a programmatical error then the shopcart tech guy should be fixing this issue.

Will there be any difference if I use the previous version IPN Handler then the 1.3.8a file.

Still no orders displaying in admin! Tried everything.

Would not like to submit defeat after 5 days of upgrading and with problems and with the most important thing of all not having the orders to complete. What the use of going ecommerce??? I ask the question.

[DrByte]

Mixing v1.3.7 and v1.3.8 code together on the same site is dangerous ... and will definitely cause your orders to not be saved completely.
Instead of blaming the code, I'd be more inclined to blame an incomplete upgrade.

Try setting up a fresh install of v1.3.8a in another folder+database and test some PayPal transactions. You'll likely find that it works just fine. Thus, if your upgraded site isn't working, then you've missed something during the upgrade.

Surely you did a test upgrade on a test copy of your site, and didn't upgrade your live site directly without a test first?

Hi Dr Byte,

Yes, I did a test upgrade the orders were still not coming in and also on 1.3.7.


I have the error logs (this could be due to the error I get in the previous response.
