Great hack Cloud. i will sure install it soon.

folkware seems have some very very interesting suggestions. Do you plan to consider them ??

Thanks for such a nice and iseful hack !

Thanks

Cloud.. few more troubles =)

gotten two donations today, and both of them came back with an error:

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO paypal_funds (id, date, donated) VALUES ('2P391627PJ628391M', NOW(), '95.8')
mysql error: Duplicate entry '2P391627PJ628391M' for key 1

Invalid SQL: INSERT INTO paypal_funds (id, date, donated) VALUES ('10S829370N231235D', NOW(), '4.55')
mysql error: Duplicate entry '10S829370N231235D' for key 1

I got an error message saying:

"Error Detected

This invoice has already been paid. For more information, please contact the merchant. "

I don't understand, I am trying to test the paypal using a visitor account. I don't even get to enter my credit card information yet. Just click on the donate button and I got the above error message? Why?

It was working twice last week before I installed the Archive hack. I wonder if the archive hack screwed something up???

so how can I use the vbmail function with this hack if I am on 2.2.9??? This hack, according to cloud, does not work with 2.3.0.

I am getting the same error for vbmail.

Help please.

thanks.

actually jc it was designed and written using 2.3.0 ;) So it is 2.3.0 compliant, but the others I'm not sure of.

Shorty, Find the records in your database that have only a few characters in the id field and remove them (or edit them to something random to match the length of the txnid from paypal: i.e. 17 characters). What is happening is that your old donations are in there as one or two characters and as they are being put in your are getting duplicat ids cus mysql ignores the rest of the code. This is a side effect of the last fix that I made to the db.

I'm am still working on this folks, so please be patient, I still have a new baby that requires about 95% of my attention anymore ;). The next update will be within the month.

Skyline -- did you make sure that you did all the changes verbatim?

verbatim?
What is verbatim?
i know i did all things in the instruction

verbatim means word for word.

post a screen capture of you admin CP for the donations hack here and I'll see what I can come up with.

so if I don't use vb2.3.0, I cannot use this hack because of the vbmail problem that I had??? is there any substitute for vbmail?
is there a way to turn off the vbmail functionality?

Thanks.

jc2002, you can try changing the vbmail() functions to mail() instead. That was the old code for sending e-mails which was changed in 2.3.0. Not sure if it'll work correctly, but it's worth a shot.

thanks i'll try
