Please make sure that the dgx-donate shortcode is not inside a “code” shortcode by using the text mode of the editor on that page. If that doesn’t solve the problem, let me know.

Hi!

A french translation is in the works – I hope to upload it this weekend

Cheers…

Yeah – until we get IPN working with the PayPal Sandbox, you will not have a donation record to observe (they are stored in database transients until PayPal shows a Completed payment status)

Thanks for sending the log – that helped! So looking at your log confirms that the transaction is starting but it looks like the PayPal developer sandbox is not initiating an IPN to your site (you should see an IPN processing start message in that log)

I was able to browse to your IPN URL directly (you might see a null IPN in your log now from that – you can ignore that)

I was also able to use the IPN testing facility at PayPal to successfully send a test IPN to that URL (its a great resource – https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/ipn_simulator – use Express Checkout as the transaction type) – you can ignore that in your log as well.

That leads me to believe there is something amiss with your PayPal developer sandbox account setup.

Make sure your PayPal sandbox account (where you are sending the donations) is configured as follows:

Account Type: Business
Status: Verified
Payment Review: Off
Negative Testing: Off

You should not need to set an IPN in your account, but you can try that as well.

Let me know if any of these settings were incorrect and if changing them fixed the problem. Once you get an IPN to complete, you’ll be able to see donation records in the database.

Please send the log so I can take a look – in particular the “payment status” line must say “Completed” for the donation to be recorded. Here is a quick test I just did myself:

It looks like the forum munged the queries a bit. They should look more like this:


SELECT * FROM wrd_posts WHERE post_type = “dgx-donation” LIMIT 0 , 30
SELECT * FROM wrd_postmeta WHERE meta_key = “_dgx_donate_amount”

Be sure to replace wrd_posts with the name of the table where your posts are located and wrd_postmeta with the name of your postmeta table. That said – until we get a donation to Complete, you will not have any “dgx-donation” posts in your database.

Hope this helps… Please send that log excerpt

Hi!

Hmmmm…. Please send the latest log to allendav at allendav dot com – be sure to put “pcgtech” in the subject or body of the email so I can correlate it to you 🙂

Thanks!

Hi!

If you have no designated funds set up, the designated funds option should NOT appear on the form. Please let me know if that is not the case.

As for the mailing list show/hide option – I can add that in the next release, which should be the first week of March.

Cheers…
