php version 5.2.1
mysql version 5

I am getting this error message:

PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in vbdonator_gateway.php

i have the vbdonator.php amd vbdonator_gateway.php file in the same directory as my forum index.php file

how do i fix this? the donations come in, but i never see them show up on the page unless i manually edit the database

also, can someone clarify exactly whats being said with the IPN thing? in mbmpayment i see this:

$url .= "&notify_url=".urlencode($vbulletin->options["bburl"] . "/vbdonator_gateway.php?method=paypal");

so isnt that essentially building the IPN 'callback'? are the posts above for calling the script manually?

would something like suhosin and/or eaccellerator affect this?

Could you maybe add a way for admins/supermods to be able to edit what members put in their messages?

Beautiful! Got it installed today and left a few suggestions on your forums!

Well done!

Can anyone confirm that IPN is working with this? I have IPN set up but have had to manually add each donation so far they don't show up anywhere but in my paypal account- the email (from vbdonator) is also not sent.

can you explain how you 'set up' IPN? did you check your apache error logs? i bet you are seeing the same thing i am about $this.

i bet if you looked in your database you would see them too.

i dont like way the amount given isnt stored anywhere unless the notify url is contacted. way too much of a potential for lost info.

I meant that I turned on IPN in paypal.... I think I will just use a different donations hack.

i got around my errors by changing the following line:

$this->transaction_id = $_REQUEST['txn_id'];

to this:

$transaction_id = $_REQUEST['txn_id'];

and now it works as expected

2 questions come up tho. 1, Why is $this used at all and 2, the variable transaction_id isnt used in the script at all. it seems that $transid = $_REQUEST["custom"]; is where the transaction ID is getting pulled from

either way its working, but these look like issues that could be cleaned up in the code unless i am missing something
