I can't find the field for Payment Data Tranfer (PDT) in the PayPal standard configuration.
Is the Payment Data Tranfer (PDT) field removed with the 1.5.2.1 release?
Thanks,
Edwin
IPN is the true method of callback.
PDT was a client-side alternative that would trigger when the customer clicked "return to merchant" but served no purpose if the customer didn't click it. Plus it was just meant to be redundant. IPN is all that is really needed so PDT was removed to clean up the code.

I just got a nastygram from PP complaining about my IPN failure:
I suppose I could find the location of this file and manually edit my PP account pointing it to the correct location. What's the preferred way to handle this?
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Edited: I just did a search on the original downloaded "upload" folder of oc1.5.2.1 and did not find the file "ipn_main_handler.php".
Couple things here...My site is located under a subdirectory "/shop/" and when I checked the catalog folder, there's no file named "ipn_main_handler.php". This must be set programatically when I upgraded from version 1.5.1.3?Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:
http://mywebsite/catalog/ipn_main_handler.php
If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Lol a nastygram... really?
It's just a friendly automated email telling you that your default ipn url is invalid. ipn_main_handler.php is from oscommerce or zencart. You just never updated it after switching to opencart.
That url is moot anyway since the code overrides the IPN url. So just edit your paypal account settings and set it to www.google.com or something that won't ever be dead and you can avoid "nastygrams" from paypal

Thanks for the enlightenment!
Yes, to me it's a nastygram since I don't know the ins/outs of PP, hence, I would consider it as such. I don't really know if by disabling my IPN will allow me to receive payments from my site or not. My initial gut reaction is that if it's disabled, I will not be able to receive payments....

You should leave it enabled with www.google.com or www.mysite.com as the url. They only check that the url is valid.
