The links in the "Download Info" eMail are taking me to an error page (404 page not found). The links look like --> http://www.domain.com/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.downloads&Itemid=78&download_id=bde304520f1fe2afe654dc2a09668a02

When I remove /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/, the link works as it should.

I'm running Joomla in a sub-dir (home/www/domain/sub-dir/) for testing. Could this be causing the error?

Joomla 1.53
VM 1.1 version $Id: CHANGELOG.php 1388 2008-04-23 17:58:17Z
IE7

Thank you!

Anybody else having the same issue?

PastorJon

I'm having this issue...

If I process the order manually (go into the admin/orders section, and manually confirm the order), then the correct address is generated.

If I let the customer go through to PayPal (my only payment processor), then when the email gets generated, it has the incorrect address.

I am using a static IP address to call my site, but it is also in a subdirectory: IP.IP.IP.IP/directory/.

Are you using PayPal as your payment processor?
Do you get the error if you manually confirm the payment?

Yes I'm using PayPal (sandbox) as my payment processor.
No, I do not get the error if I manually confirm the payment.

thanks for your reply.  It's good to know someone else is having the same problem, and that it can be replicated! :)

Of course, I have no idea how to fix it... but hopefully someone who can will chime in!

Yeah, I guess we are the only ones using the cart for downloads.

VM 1.1 is still a work in progess. I'm not hacking or using any 3rd party hacks at this time, as the VM Dev Team are updating the code on
almost a daily basis.

You can download the Full Package Nightly Builds from here
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31381.0

But I prefer the manual install packages from the Nighly Builds SVN
http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/doc.do?doc_id=1264

The VM Devs are working hard on this project, and I'm confident that they will squash the bugs.

Best Regards,
Devon

PastorJon

Thanks...

So... I'm pretty new to all this (open source development)...

Is there a particular procedure we need to go through to get this on the list of bugs to be squashed?  Or is this thread sufficient?

Thanks for the info on nightly builds... how often do you update your site?

Here is the bug reporting procedure
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31709.0

Bugs are reported here
http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/tracker.do?proj_id=1

This thread may be sufficient, but the VM Devs haven't responded
yet so I might try reporting this to the bug tracker.

I update my VM 1.1 installation when a new revision is released.
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31381.0

However I do not use the complete package linked from the page above.
I use the VirtueMart_1.1.0_nightly-Manual_Installation_Package
found here http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/doc.do?doc_id=1328
Just unzip the file and transfer the contents to your server, overwriting
your existing VM 1.1 installation (as opposed to uninstalling VM and re-installing).
There shouldn't be any changes that need to be applied to the database.
Using this method should cause minimal changes to your configuration settings
as most are stored in the database, but I do have to reset my PayPal configuration
each time I update VM.

Just as an update, I just associated a domain with the account, and the email links are still not correct.

If someone could point me to the file that creates the email, I might be able to try to find a solution... or at least a temporary fix. :)

PastorJon

It appears as though this email is generated in administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_order.php

While it's not a particularly pretty fix, people who are waiting to launch a live site can modify line 218 to hard-code the URL, instead of using mosConfig_live_site.
