Hi

VirtueMart 3.0.6.2
Joomla 3.4.0

Trying to set up PayPal payment method. I have the AIO installed and all VM payment plugins disabled except for VM Payment - PayPal. However, when I try to set up a new PayPal payment method, there are three options in the payment method drop down, Klarna, Sofort ideal and Sofort Banking (even though these three are disable) and no mention of PayPal.

Seems like Virtuemart is not communication with the plugins,

Any help would be appreciated,

Paul

There is a Joomla list problem that was introduced with J3.4 (earlier versions did not show this problem) and I thought it would be fixed with J3.4.1 - but no luck there, and the J3.4.1 version has broken other things...... The listing box does not show the full range of available plugins. See the first pic.

The answer is to use the scroll for that panel to show the full list  (there is however a report from one user that they don't see the scroll bar).  Alternatively type paypal into the search box and the paypal plugin will display for selection.  Pic 2.

Hi Jenkinhill

Manyu thanks for trhe information. Typing payPal into the search box seems to have solved the problem ad I was able to create the PayPal payment method.

Now I have another problem. When I place an order, and hit checkout, the site does not redirect to PayPal for payment. "Thank you for your order!" is displayed with a button beneath it saying "please wait while redirecting to PayPal" but nothing happens. Only if you click the button are you redirected to PayPal where payment can be taken.

Thanks again]
