Notification Email After Paypal Payment

[RickMath]

Michael

I pasted the completed paypal plugin that you sent on 1/26 into the file. The patch for 2.1.2 did not work so I substituted the file you attached.

The registered user gets an email and I do too.

Everything works fine now but in addition to above I get an error on login. It is below

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/plugins/paymethod/paypal/PayPalPlugin.inc.php:326) in /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/classes/template/TemplateManager.inc.php on line 303

I need to return to the production version of PayPal now.

Hopefully we can get this resolved so my users do not email me about the error msgs.

Thanks. This has been an experience.

Hi

I encountered another error that seems to be related to the PayPal file changes. I happens when I try to save changes in areas like setup. It also occurs when returning from Paypal to OCS.

The error is

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/plugins/paymethod/paypal/PayPalPlugin.inc.php:326) in /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/classes/core/Request.inc.php on line 41

I hope we can get these fixed soon. They seem harmless but users are asking about them. Also see my previous post.

Thanks so much

Rick

I really need to resolve the errors that I noted in my previous two posts. Te second one is most preplexing. When one attempts to save or close an entry the second error occurs. I used the paypal plugin file that you posted. Beyond the home screen every page carries these messages. The second one stopes displaying anything and requires one to hit the back button. The screen flickers but the changes are saved.

Please help with a solution. The only changes I have made are to the PayPal plugin and the database for adding the Payment Received email.

Thanks.

Hi Rick,

Can you please confirm that there are no blank lines at the end of your file after you've done your copy-and-paste?

Without additional information, I'm not sure what the issue could be.

If you like I can login to your server and try to troubleshoot the issue there. We do offer support services, but please note that the minimum service is for 1 hour. Please feel free to PM me if you'd like to go this route. (It's also a great way to support the work of the PKP)

Additional info on support prices and agreement terms.

Cheers,
Michael

The PKP wizard waves the magic wand again. I am a php ameatur and that is a stretch.

There were three blank lines at the bottom of the file. Removed them and viola no errors anywhere. How they got there who knows.

Thanks so much for you help!

Just one more thing to add.

The PayPal feature is now working perfectly. The system sends each paid registrant an email with a copy to the conference manager.

This a wonderful feature of OCS and makes life easier for me and our users.

One more thing I may add. Michael was right on target with the verification of no empty lines at the end of a php file. In researching this empty lines after the ?> at the end of the file causes this type of error.

Hopefully this helps others with similar problems.

Once again kudos to the PKP team.

In the past two days I have two people register. No emails were sent to the user or with copies to me. All was well last week. I have not made any changes to my system except for those to the reports that Alec helped me with. This is posted in the other forum.

Related to this when I now click on the EDIT option in the Registration list for a user, I get the following error

Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/classes/registration/form/RegistrationForm.inc.php on line 101

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/classes/registration/form/RegistrationForm.inc.php:101) in /home/marketrm/public_html/ocs/classes/template/TemplateManager.inc.php on line 303

Is it possible that these are related?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Rick,

Can you check classes/registration/RegistrationOptionDAO.inc.php and find the definition of the "getRegistrationOptionsBySchedConfId" function? It should be:

Code: Select all

function &getRegistrationOptionsBySchedConfId($schedConfId, $rangeInfo = null) {

...note the ampersand.

I checked and there was no ampersand before getRegistrationOptionsBySchedConfId. After changing that the EDIT for each registrant error has been eliminated.

Now can we figure out why I am not getting copies of emails confirming PayPal payment. My user report that they are not either.

Thanks

Hi Rick,

Do you have access to your server's email logs (assuming you're using local delivery)? There should be some indication there if the messages were sent, and possibly error messages to help identify the problem. Try looking for a particular date and time in your payment log.

Alternately, start by testing email sending in general from the system. If that works, then we can look for ways of debugging Paypal in particular.

I sent an email to myself from OCS. I went to enrolled users and clicked on the email icon. It was sent and received instantly.

So what next. I have updated most of the PayPal plugins that were noted earlier in this thread.

Thanks for you quick response.

Hi Rick,

Are you using local delivery for email (as opposed to SMTP), and if so, do you have access to your server's mail log?

Alec

We are using SMTP for email.

Hi Rick,

Under Conference Management > Registration > Registration Policies, do you have contact information for a Registration Manager entered?

Regards,

[RickMath]

Alec

No I left that blank as it was my understanding that this was only entered if someone else could manage registration other than the conference manager.

Before I made the changes noted earlier in this thread the automated email was working.

Anything else I need to tell you? Just let me know. I guess I could test it again tonight using the sandbox.

Thanks

Rick
