OpenCart Community

Hi all,

My problems with getting "Log in with PayPal" working.

I have had several phone conversations with PayPal support, and basically they have verified that what I am setting up on both their Developer Web site at:
https://developer.paypal.com/ and my admin side of https://www.shop-dontronics.com are correct.

I am running V 2.1.0.2 of Opencart and have read, and installed the extension fix given at:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n%20paypal

I really thought this would fix my problem, but no change.
This simple ocmod patch fixes the “Log in with PayPal” bug for OC v2.0.0.0 to 2.1.0.2.
But it doesn't fix my problem unfortunately.

I have put together the full details of this problem at:
http://www.dontronics.com/login-with-paypal.htm

I do have a web developer, but it is beyond his understanding at this stage, as it is mine. We believe there is a coding problem somewhere.
I hope that someone out there can assist me.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers Don...

In your admin payment modules - > Log In With PayPal, enable the logs. Then, retry the Log In With PayPal on the store-front end. The logs will capture the events. Then, visit your admin system logs and see any recent errors that begins with: Log In with PayPal debug or: CURL Response: .

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly straightlight.

I had set the logs on, and did ask my web developer, but hadn't got a response back.

is this the log should be looking at?

sorry, I am new to Opencart

And I managed to grab a copy of the URL that is pointing to PayPal from my browser. The Client ID matches up correctly, but I have masked it for security. See at the bottom of the html page at:

Although, the last instruction hasn't been covered. You need to go to your admin - > systems - > tools - > error logs and see a related error from pp_login.php file in those logs.

see:

Nothing there straightlite.

I have been on this path before, and have never found anything related in those logs.
Mind you, last time I looked there were plenty of errors, perhaps my web developer cleared it to prove a point. Anyway, I cleared the log on principle,invoked the error again, but no appearance.

I had thought that I may have been looking at the wrong logs in the past, but if that is where they end up, nothing present at the moment.

The error message you provided on one of your screenshots above is from PayPal. This is caused by an invalid URL entry.

See this link: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic ... t-working/

You can also ask your current programmer to follow the last step on that topic. Also ensure your client ID is still valid on your PayPal developers account-end.

Thanks, I emailed PayPal support yesterday to see what they thought about the URL my cart is delivering to them, and no response, so I will ring today. Seems phone calls work betterer than emails.

I will also check to see that my credentials haven't changed during the course of this testing.

By last step, you mean the country thing? As it turns out, I am in Australia. Suspicious.

And I dropped a message on the extensions developer's comment box, pointing out that my error is not a blank page result, but goes to an error page.

Thanks again,

Cheers Don...

and the interesting message:

Obviously version 2.2.0.0 fixed the "Log in with Paypal" bug.

There must be a clue in the github code changes, but unfortunately it is beyond me.

Rang Paypal again, and they will get back to me when they aren't busy. :-(
