Paypal (OC 1.2.8) -> no Order nor Email

tommix wrote:hello to my world -you're number 3 who has this problem but my server is good it's VPS not in some cheap-crappy USA server..

it creates orders, but don't show in admin-only in DB you can see them and need to assign order_id to be not 0, 1 = pending, 5= complete.

But in my case it worked until import..or until some unknown stuff happens.

Also the idea with setting the status first to "pending" (or "paypal-pending") and after the callback to something else (configurable?) would be great!

To the mentioned cons:

I don't get it... Where is more javascript code needed then in the current version? The only change is that when someone presses "Confirm Order" the status is set to pending and an email is send to the customer. After this the customer is forwarded to paypal and everything goes on like in the current version. Right?

> - Can lead to a lot of pending orders if the customer decided to just quit before paying

This would be okey for me. But I would like to have a status "paypal-pending" additional to the normal "pending". When I see a lot of "paypal-pending" orders I know that there is a problem with the paypay IPN (paypal changed something or my firefall is doing confusing things or whatever) or there is a customer who needs perhaps help. In booth cases I want to see the "tried" orders!

function confirmSubmit() {
	$.ajax({

		url: 'index.php?route=payment/paypal/confirm',
		success: function() {
			$('#checkout').submit();
		}
	});
}

First, in \catalog\controller\payment\paypal.php i can find the functions index() and callback() --- NO confirm() function is there.

When callback() is called (IPN arrived) this is executed:
$this->model_checkout_order->confirm($order_id, $this->config->get('paypal_order_status_id'));
which calls confirm(...) in \catalog\model\checkout\order.php as I aspect.

In \catalog\view\theme\default\template\payment\paypal.tpl i can find this ajax code:

Code: Select all

 
function confirmSubmit() {
	$.ajax({
		type: 'GET',
		url: 'index.php?route=payment/paypal/confirm',
		success: function() {
			$('#checkout').submit();
		}
	});
}

...and this calls (i think) the confirm() function in \catalog\controller\payment\paypal.php. But there isn't such a function? So no first E-Mail, right? But why you get the first one?

Sorry, I never learned PHP and only read just now an beginners guide. I hope I'm not totally wrong...
