Hi my names matt
I have Joomla 2.5.22 and Virtuemart 2.0.24 'although it does update found click for 2.0.26d'
i have installed rupostels One Page Checkout
I am using Paypal standard - option , as recomended by stan from rupostel,
The problem is when I buy a product and paypal has processed my purchase, i am sent back to a thankyou page, the item is still in the cart and there is no confirmation email sent, and the order is still pending.
I can set Paypal to Express but this sends the buyer from paypal back to the cart for confirmation which is not ideal and a needless process 'the whole reason why we bought rupostels OPC'. Rupostel told us that the confirmation ipn is a conflict between virtuemart and paypal.
I have tried with the paypal APi, setting auto return to 'on'
? i am not sure what URL to put into the return URL to be honest? can you help ?
I have swithced on PDT payment data transfer.
I have added an ipn URL
http://beauty.capitalhosting.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginresponsereceived
not sure if this is the correct ipn url, how do i find it?
Is there a way could give me advice,? do i need to update the vm software ? is it safe to do so ?
is there a patch code i need?
I even tried creating a new file
notify.php
<?php
include('administrator/components/com_virtuemart/notify.php');
?>
i put it in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/
I have been told i can add the code below , where should i add it ?
"notify_url" => SECUREURL ."notify.php",
Really need help, and would appreciate any advice
Kind Regards
Matt
The first thing I would do is update your VM to the latest - 2.6.7 - comp & AOI
http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/762/com_virtuemart.2.6.7_extract_first.zip
Install on a clone or test site first and use the normal Joomla installer - NOT THE THING IN THE VM ADMIN!
Get the current version of the rupostal OPC and install
now test - because it should all just work out of the box without all this stuff your talking about
if it doesn't then try without the OPC - I have never had problems with Paypal confirmations on my installs
This may or may not help. I recently spent over an hour debugging a problem with paypal payment not being confirmed. In the end, the problem was a space " " at the end of the merchant email in configuration. Taking out all spaces in that field fixed the problem.
