paypal stuck in sandbox

[okgrowin]

VM version: 2.9.8
php version:  5.4.29
joomla version: 3.3.1

as said, no matter what combo of settings i put (even reverting to default settings) doesn't get it off sandbox.
This is standard option. i should only have to put in the email.



note: the sandbox does work correctly and take me all the way to sandbox paypal site.
yes, I have read: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=123729.0

Hi,

Just maybe reload over the top the saved versions you have. So upload the extension of mv again. Just maybe it will clear your problem.

Hi,

i did a fresh install, reloaded over top, drop/created tables (restore system default in the tools menu) doesn't seem to change anything.

1. install vm2.9.8, vm2.9.8 allinone
2. set safe path
2. create shop (vendor), define currency to usd
3. add payment method name paypal, payment method: vm payment - paypal, save
4. add sandbox merchant email hit save

i don't think i'm doing anything wrong right?

what exactly is the decision tree for sandbox /  not?

I found the issue.... The production / sandbox was hidden for some reason...

I toggled the Display:none CSS and changed to production and saved....
No idea why this option has been set to display:none....

Some times AdBlock (or similar extensions)  hides some parts of the page.

To fix this issue, in the paypal.xml file, remove the class="sandbox" in the field name sandbox
old code
Code: [Select]

<field class="sandbox" name="sandbox" type="radio" default="1" label="VMPAYMENT_PAYPAL_SHOP_MODE"

           
new code

Code: [Select]

<field class="" name="sandbox" type="radio" default="1" label="VMPAYMENT_PAYPAL_SHOP_MODE"
