Version 2.0.3.1

I had this "Undefined Variable: json..." error several months ago and resolved it by creating and assigning a new API user, but this no longer works.

Is there a work around for this? I desperately need to update my order statuses!

With this not working, I'll have to add the dispatch info via PayPal to inform my customers. Is there a way of syncing the PayPal transaction status with the OC order?

Depending on which PayPal edition you're using, yes - PayPal does provide this possibility by using the API.

In the admin, you can use the PayPal Transaction Search to lookup your order statuses.

Thank you, I'm already aware of this feature, but want to be able to add tracking info to the PayPal transaction, and for this to show on the OC customer order record.

Could you clarify 'tracking info' ? What would you like to add?

I'm adding a tracking number upon dispatch to the PayPal transaction in PayPal using the "Add tracking" option and would like this information to appear on the OC customer order record.

The way it's been coded at the actual time is by using the capture method, it searches by the Opencart Order ID and includes a view link in order to show the order details. From the view link, it captures the PayPal order information by using the PayPal transaction ID. The Invoice number (tracking) is already included along the transaction details in the transaction page from Opencart. In other words, it is already sync. :)

However, if you want those actions to be done automatically, it would need to be developed by custom codes into Opencart or as a cron task / jQuery task.

OK, thanks for the info, but I think you misunderstood.

By "tracking", I'm referring to the physical postal/courier tracking number for my customer's package. I want this to sync with the OpenCart order status record:

I see. You are referring to the Tracking ID which, according to the API documentation, only the adaptive payments can receive this field request. Not the Express Checkout.

In that case I'll just update via PayPal and leave the OC order unchanged until someone can provide a fix for the order status change error shown above.

It is not a matter of a fix ... it is rather about limited features provided by PayPal themselves based on the service they provide while using the Express Checkout for your enquiry ...

I would suggest you move up to at least the 2.1.0.2 version to alleviate some of the problems you are having with OC...

You are incorrect. Scroll to the top of the thread to see the error!

I agree and would love to upgrade! I have unsuccessfully tried this three times and gave up.

I've followed the instructions here: http://docs.opencart.com/upgrading/

But upon reaching this section, clicking the continue button fails and I'm left stuck on this screen:

I've tried this on Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
