PayPal Express Plugin - Extended Version (Free)

[WebStuff]

I know this is a free plugin which is great by the way. But I have an issue with it.
I've just tried it out on my test site before going to my live site but there is a problem with the details being sent to PP.
When the order is placed the customfields are showing like so:
Item
Custom Mirror {"72":{"textinput":{"comment":"67.27"}},"73":{"textinput":{"comment":"4mm Mirror"}},"74":{"textinput":{"comment":"mm"}},"75":{"textinput":{"comment":"1000"}},"76":{"textinput":{"comment":"1000"}},"77":{"textinput":{"comment":"square-rectangle"}},"78":{"textinput":{"comment":"NONE"}},"79":{"textinput":{"comment":"Polished Edge"}},"80":{"textinput":{"comment":" "}},"81":{"textinput":{"comment":"None"}},"82":{"textinput":{"comment":"0"}},"83":{"textinput":{"comment":"No"}},"84":{"textinput":{"comment":"0
There are no titles for the fields and no formatting. This would panic the customer as it looks like coding gobbledy-gook and that something has gone wrong.
If the code weren't obfuscated it would be a simple matter to fix this. other than this the code works fine on my test site. Great Work.

The problem is occasionally caused by some third party templates and the way they treat attributes.
Virtuemart stores its attributes with the HTML code still attached. This has to be removed before it can be displayed
in a readable format.

However if this is a test server and you can put the plugin in test mode, PM the URL I will take a look at it for you.

2- Order is updated correctly in the database with confirmed status but no email to vendor or customer- not sure if this is to do with my configuration.

That's most likely the configuration of your setup, especially if the order status is confirmed.

1- After paying on paypal returns back to the website with the message "Thank you for your order" and the order details but does not display the order number- but I can see the order number in the title of the page.  How to display the order number on the thank you page?
Please advise.

As of version 1.0.18 the order number is shown on the final "Thank you for your order page"

Hi again

I know this works fine with default template but was wondering if you would have any idea - when I use One Step Checkout by cmsmart - After checkout it just takes to "Thank you for your order!--> "

There is no debug information even though the debug is ON.

This is a issue only with the One Step Checkout by cmsmart here is their live demo site http://cmsmart.net/demo/index.php/vm-one-page-checkout.html

Any help appreciated!

We do not have a copy of CMS One Stage Checkout to test with, but on checking the forums that particular template does seem to have more than it fair share of problems.

However PayPal Express Checkout does work correctly with the majority of third party templates tested so far.

Unlike CMS One Stage Checkout, the PayPal Express Checkout plugin is free and you can download and try it without risk.

Virtuemart stores its attributes with the HTML code still attached. This has to be removed before it can be displayed
in a readable format.

It may in fact be caused by me as the items in question use extra custom pricing code. I could even get away with just having it display the "Custom Mirror" without the attributes but as the code is obfuscated I won't be able to find the relevant line to comment out the addition of the attributes.

I'll see if I can code one myself as this is probably a result of quirks of my site. Other than this problem it is a great plugin which worked out of the box in every other aspect.

Hi! I have a problem with my thank you page...

I have entered the details here....
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119102.0

I need to remove the shipping details at the order done page...

please help....

thanks...

At the moment the "Confirm Order" and "Thank you page" are set to output their results in that format and they can not easily be changed.

It is not recommend hacking the code to make the changes, as you will loss the changes each time you update the plugin.

However those pages are due to be rewritten in the next few weeks and they should be a lot easier to customise.

Thanks alot! I hope it would be soon!
It looks so unprofessional with those blank data....


Thanks and more power!
