Paypal Sessions Viewer + pushorder

[paulm]

I uploaded all the files to the root directory, and this has added the "catalog" folder outside of the admin directory. Is this correct?

No this is not correct! You need to copy the contents of the catalog folder to your shop root folder.
(also note that if you renamed your admin fiolder you also need to make sure you copy the contents of catalog/admin to the correct folder)

It looks like the installation instructions need an update!

Hi paulm,

My shop is the root directory.

You can see it here http://www.healthsolutionstechnology.com.au

Any other suggestions?

Hi paulm,

My shop is the root directory.

I know. And the *contents* of the catalog folder must be copied to the same location. No new folder is created by this mod, if installed correctly.

Thanks for putting me straight

Here is the README file info straight from the zip file

INSTALLATION

1) BACKUP!

2) Simply copy all the enclosed files to the / (root) folder, retaining the folder structure. (I assume this is incorrect).

3) Add your ip-address and pushorder password to the config files

admin/includes/extra_configures/pushorder.php
-pushorder password

includes/extra_configures/pushorder.php
-pushorder password (this and the admin pushorder password must match)
-ip-address setting (enter the ip address of the admin that is allowed to push the paypal orders)

Note that the definition has changed to PAYPAL_PUSHORDER_PASS in this version (so old pushorder password definitons will not work on v3.0 +)

The report is visible under Customers->View Stuck PayPal Orders

Thanks heaps for your help.

Yes that part of the readme is incorrect, it is left over from an older version, that is why I already said:

Just to warn zenners, this Readme File is from the downloads in the FREE SOFTWARE ADD ONS Link Mod version 3.02 for Zencart V1.3.8.

Thanks for your help paul.

Just one more question...

Now the files are in the right place and I can see the link "View Stuck PayPal Orders" When I click on "Move orders to database" I get the following error:
invalid use, ip: *my ip adress* (check ip-address and pushorder password settings).

Passwords are fine, however my IP address changes (and I have input the current IP adress). Is there a way around this error?

Thanks for your help. I'm learning a lot

A last comment about the readme: it appears that the folder structure has changed in version 2.x, and the readme appears not to be updated at the time to reflect that change.

invalid use, ip: *my ip adress* (check ip-address and pushorder password settings).

Try to leave the IP-address definitions empty in both configuration files. Like this:

define('PAYPAL_PUSHORDER_IP', '');

Hi Paul,
Leaving out the IP worked and all orders have now been "pushed"

Will leaving out the IP compromise security? I think I read in another post to rename the files?

If it is a good idea, what files do I rename? and is there any code which needs to change?

Thanks for this mod. There were a ton of stuck orders going nowhere, and this module is a godsend.

Cheers from Australia (where it's stinking hot)

With this version the security risk of not using the IP check is *very* low I think. It's mainly added as an additional check, and to discourage wannabee hackers even to try anything.

But if you do not rename the file (the pushorder.php file in the shop root), and you also don't use the ip check, and make the pushorder password public or use a very short password, then it will become quite easy to complete orders without paying.

Then, on top of all the above, you can ignore the added pushorder text to the order comment and the fact that the order is not payed for of course.....

Probably I added too many checks and warnings, but I rather do that then create a huge hole in the payment system (which the 2.x version did t.m.h.o.).
