Paypal Website Payments Pro - no hassles

[skwiggly]

Hello all,

I haven't been able to get the PDP module working with DPP, either. I'm getting a parse error

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getack() in /home/content/y/o/u/youtay/html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/payment/ps_pdp.php on line 223

which seems to be related to the previous issue I was having, which was due to the VirtueMart class "Log" conflicting with the same PEAR class "Log" in my own PEAR installation I did in my webroot. That error went away when I upgraded to VM 1.0.1, but I have the feeling there's still a conflict, because the getAck function above is referring to the PEAR log. Any suggestions here would be awesome!

Anyway, I've gotten as far as getting WebConsole running, creating a profile and doing a successful (I think -- no errors at least) API call with it. Can someone at least tell me, if I were able to resolve my PHP parse error, is this an indication that the PayPal API is in fact working on my webserver? PayPal's "documentation" leaves me pretty unclear on how I should proceed from here.....

regards,
Scott

You are probably one or 2 steps in front of me skwiggly, so I am not going to be of any use to you.  Let's keep on this thing, I am sure we will work it out eventually.  Also, skwiggly you might want to check out the forums at developer.paypal.com  there is no www in front of that so I am not sure what else to do.

Hi Folks,

Great to hear you are all working on this. I wish I knew more about PHP! 

Just as a thought, here are some resources that might help you or give some bit of info you may not have found.

Hi Folks,

Great work!

I am praying for you. I'll contact paypal and ask them what they can do to move the process forward.

Truly,

Did this thread wonder off somewhere else? Is there any progress?

I was unable to get past a certain point trying to implement PayPal WPP myself, so I decided to go with Hunter Sinclair's solution (http://www.zenatdesign.com/payment). Back at the beginning of Dec 2005 he said he was working on the VirtueMart version and hoped to have it ready in a couple weeks, but as far as I know it's still not done. So hopefully it's close to completion.....

regards,
Scott

Thanks for the quick response. I've been busy doing some research and am probably on the right track. I have toggled through the free and paid solutions provided below in order to make direct Paypal Pro Website work upon my site.

http://www.openzion.org/documentations/viewcontent-4.html
http://zenatdesign.com/mambo_mod/index.php
http://www.zenatdesign.com/mambo_mod/install.txt

The result is that upon checkout and submitting the order for processing, the page goes blank. Below is essentially what I have listed on my configuration tab.

USERNAME: henry_api1.mysite.com
PASSWORD: uraturkey
SUBJECT: myemail@mysite.com
CERTIFICATE: http://www.mamboroot.com/administrator/components/com_phpshop/classes/payment/authorized_payment_cert.txt

One problem I am also having is that when changing the Options Mode within the Configuration Tab to Live Mode, it does not stay live. Likewise, the password does not remain changed upon clicking save.

Any thoughts???

fidel, I am not postive but I think the certificate path should be the physical path, not the web path. It should look something like

/home/fidels_site/public_html/administrator/components/com_phpshop/classes/payment/authorized_payment_cert.txt

I don't have it installed and working yet because of a missing PEAR module (I think), but give a path like that a try and see if it works. I'll update when I get mine running and let everyone know what I had to do. I am using the PDP version from OpenZion.
