Hi,
I just tried to activate the paypal payment and struggled with some problems while testing in sandbox mode.
- I created all the sandbox accounts and tried some days ago... everything worked fine.
- I added some payment logos to all of my payment methods... also for PayPal... just to make the layout a bit nicer
- Today I wanted to go on with some sandbox test and the orders were automatically confirmed correctly after I paid with the dummy buyer... but I didn't got ANY eMail... neither seller or buyer... remember: the status was changed correctly from pending to confirmed
- I found out, that when manually change an order back to pending an eMail was sent to seller & buyer
- but when changing again this order from pending to confirmed I got following error: "TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: http:www.mysite.de/images/stories/virtuemart/payment/paypal.gif"
- the problem seems to be, that my site is actually not placed in root folder of my domain but within a subdirectory... so the paypal.gif I selected is actually located at: : http:www.mysite.de/cms/images/stories/virtuemart/payment/paypal.gif
- So somewhere when confirming an order the payment logos are used but NOT with the right folder structure...and this seems to block the eMail sending
- I manually placed the missing paypal.gif in this error folder and voilá I can manually change to status confirmed and also (thanks god) the PayPal confirmation for new orders works also fine! (not a good solution but it works)
So it seems to be a bug somewhere with the payment logos .. could anybody take a look at it?
