Paypal payment notification

[Chuck S]

Right but the real issue here is why it does not work in the first place as it is coded correctly

[skippy]

I have an unhacked, unmodified version of classifieds 2.42 and I have the same exact problem. I received the following email:

You have received a payment for the classified ad:

http://www.uclickandsave.biz/dev/cla....php?product=7


which should be in the amount of .

Please verify your transaction records to ensure that proper payment was
received for this item.

I did NOT hit the "back" button at any point in the transaction, and PayPal returned me appropriately to the Classifieds program where the ad displayed properly.

table "pp_payments" updated correctly:
id = 4
ad_id = 7
ad_amount = 3.00
ad_key = f872db3d903a1dd298aa58f1c7dc9086

If "ad_amount" $3.00 is there in the database, why isn't it ending up on our notification emails?

It shows on my emails when I try. This is the email string in emails.php

Content visible to verified customers only.

Now here is the code in payment.php

Content visible to verified customers only.

and here

Content visible to verified customers only.

This is something for you to try and see what happens. Try this change in emails.php string to this

Content visible to verified customers only.

I changed the emails.php as you suggested and tested again.

No change = still no $$$ amount in the email received.

It's not fancy and I don't know what other problems it could cause, but I fixed it by going for the straight $adamount instead of {$Globals['currency']}{$adamount}.

I guess it was the attempt to put the dollar sign, "$" in front of the number that was causing the problem.

Line 202 of my email.php now looks like this:

$Globals['pp_lang']['payltr'] = "You have received a payment for the classified ad:\n\n{$Globals['maindir']}/showproduct.php?product=$adid\n\n
which should be in the amount of $adamount.\n\nPlease verify your transaction records to ensure that proper payment was
received for this item.";

Well then I would have to ask quite simply is your global currency value filled out?

If you can get the link to show the $adid from the query and you can get $adamount to show in the email then you should be able to get this to show provided its not failing but I dont see how.

$adamtf = "($Globals['currency']}" . number_format( $adamount, 2 );

Like I stated before it seems to work there have only been a handful of users who have reported this and I have posted everytime this quick change to $adamount as I posted in post 43 here

[skippy]

Yes, they seem to be all filled out, if you're talking about one of these:

Global Options >> Currency symbol>> $
Payment Options>> PayPal currency code? >> USD

[Chuck S]

Okay well you have something that works true it just eludes me on why it fails on your system since clearly the variable $adamount is defined since you can use it. You should be able to use the default email string which uses $adamtf since all that does is take $adamount and places it in simple number format

You can also upload the default files and see if $adamtf works like so by changing the line in payment.php like so

$adamtf = "($Globals['currency']}{$adamount}";

I would love the find the issue that all 5 users over the months have had
I can make the same suggestion I made to them to try out.

Try replacing $adamtf with this $$adamount in the emails.php language string

I have the exact same problem - missing $$ amount in the email notification. I have made the suggested change above and will verify if it fixed the problem.

Edit: Yup - worked perfectly.
