symphonists / paypal_payments Goto Github PK

I am building a Symphony CMS Ecommerce site with PayPal payments extension and simpleCart.js. But I didn't use the Reroute to PayPal filter, payment redirection link is generated by the simpleCart.js. Once I paid successfully, PayPal will redirect to the success page and I will get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /extensions/paypal_payments/events/event.paypal_payments_ipn.php on line 225

I can find a record in the IPN history, but the Payment status is "Unclaimed". Could you give me some clues to solve this problem please? Thanks

Save IPN data doesn't work for version 2.3.2.

Because PayPal is retarded they sent many, many IPN calls. Need to add a check to see if the invoice is already in the DB and update/discard if that's the case.

How to make the extension compatible with the sections event extension?

I thought I recognised the flow of this extension :-)

The event file line 233 has a reference to good ol' SecureTrading.

I appears that validating the IPN against anything else than paypal.com fails. It should probably be hardcoded instead of relying on the _build_paypay_url() function.
I also couldn't find mention of sending the IPN response to any of the subdomains other than .com

Unless it was all a temporary issue with PayPal, I guess it's worth investigating as it might save some headaches around.

Looking at this comment: http://getsymphony.com/discuss/thread/25718/3/#position-55

It seems that .com is default url for sending data to paypal no matter what country.

Baring this in mind is there any particular reason to keep the $countries array and preferences? https://github.com/symphonists/paypal_payments/blob/master/extension.driver.php#L141

Looking to refresh/update this code and am wondering what's best.

In line 229 $url = 'http://www.sandbox.paypal.com'; must be $url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com';
