I would suggest using your sites e-mail address for the default IPN address. This is what I did and it works all the time.


Do you mean the XOOPS admin email address? If so, that is what I use, webmaster@aka.org. That is set as my site admin address in XOOPS prefs and as the master email address at Paypal. It is a valid POP account set up on my server. Or am I not understanding what you mean?

Well, my frustrations with this module continue, and boy am I frustrated. I have used both versions of 1.9 (the one pointed to by Monty and the one posted by Adroc. Both behave the same for me in the sense that checking IPN via the link in the module admin gives me a clean bill of health. No errors. However, when I make a donation, I am taken to the Paypal page and I confirm the donation. It is correctly credited to my account. However, I am not returned to the page designated in the module admin, but rather back to my home page. Furthermore, the donation isn't logged. Apparently the Paypal IPN is not coming back to my server.

I am using a valid POP account as my Paypal master email address. I get a notification there of the donation. I also get a notification at the donor email address. The donor email is a verified account on Paypal. The URL set up on the Paypal site for IPN is correct. Paypal is simply not talking to my server.

Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot this? It's driving me nuts! Could this be a server issue? My site is on a shared (virtual) server, but that is such a common thing that I am reluctant to believe it's a problem, unless there are issues of exactly how the server is set up.

a friend i helped who had a similar problem stumped us for quite a while as 1 day it worked, then it didn't.. i don't know if paypal changed anything their end at all but on the off chance and was the last resort, we double checked the email address.. my friend had it as a catch all account and not a full mailbox..

as soon as he created the email addess physically and turned it into a proper email account, the donations once again began to register in the donators block..


I got excited when I read this post because I have been having what sounds like exactly the same problem. My master email address on Paypal was set up as a forwarder on my server. That is, it's not a real POP account. I set one up, but still have the same problem. Testing the IPN using Xdonations 1.9 gives an "all clear" message. When I try a test donation, the donation is made, but apparently the info never gets back to my server, because no donation shows up in the recent donations block, etc.

Any other suggestions?

page nav icons have abnormal appearance in newBB2

OK. I have come across one other problem in trying to use newBB2 in the theme fiblue3d. When I'm in a forum that has many posts, the icons to navigate forward and back appear. These are the one with a folded corner, top right. They are set is xoops.css class=pagact, paginact, etc. Those classes call images pagact.gif, etc.

In the theme I'm trying to use, based on fiblue3d, to the right of each of those images a narrow vertical bar of the same color appears. I can't figure this out, as there is no indicate in viewing the source where they are coming from.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Make sure in the theme.html of the problem themes that this tag:

exists and is positioned this way:

So simple when you know how. Thanks a bunch. That fixed it.

newBB2 Main Options drop down doesn't work with some themes

I have noticed that when certain themes are active, e.g. fiblue3d, but also a number of others, the Main Options drop down menu in NewBB2 doesn't work. Instead of dropping down when the cursor is on it, it is permanently displayed. The Forum Options and Search Forum drops downs in the individual forums are similarly affected. This increases the height of the involved table cells and is unattractive, at least. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Is the problem confined to the notifications?


It appears to be. The only other odd thing I've noticed recently is that the intermediate notification pages (with the "if the page doesn't reload - click here") often come up using the colors from my theme. As the text in the latter is light gray, it makes it hard to read in the top panel, which remains white. The lower, empty panel, is dark blue, per my theme background color. I think these are unrelated problems and, as those pages will be themeable in 2.1, I have been ignoring the latter problem.


Hi Mith,

I didn't want to let the ball drop on this issue. Any ideas on why I am having this problem with notifications in one of my XOOPS installations? It affects more than one module, so I suspect it is a problem in the XOOPS core functions. As it only affects one instance of a total of four on my server I suspect something has become corrupted.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for what I might try.

/edit/ It occurred to me belatedly to try php debug and mySQl debug to look for the problem, and I found it. Here it is:

SELECT * FROM xoops_xoopsnotifications WHERE (not_modid = 2 AND not_category = 'global' AND not_uid = 1088) ORDER BY not_id ASC
Error number: 1146
Error message: Table 'akassoc_xoop1.xoops_xoopsnotifications' doesn't exist

I confirmed that somehow I've lost my xoops_xoopsnotifications by viewing the tables in myPHPAdmin. So, my question now is, can I create that table within an existing db?

/edit2/ I experimented to confirm that I could copy an empty table from one XOOPS install to another. I then copied xoops_xoopsnotifications to my live site and notifications now work. Given enough time I can sometimes figure these things out.

Thanks for the comments.

Barry

What is causing that? An URL, a long code text? Try scrolling down to see the culprit.


Damn, some day I will learn to look carefully before complaining. In testing the notifications, I happened to open a very long post. Way down at the bottom there was a long URL, which I hadn't scrolled down to. I shortened it using MakeashorterURL and that fixed it. Sorry about the false alarm.

Well, this seems to be a problem with XOOPS and not the module itself. Most things on the site "stick", such as posting an article to newBB2 or News (AMS). However, I guess I hadn't tested the latter for notifications, as I post almost all of the News articles myself. I just tried to check Notify me of new posts and it also failed.

As I said, I have another site installed on the same server. In fact, I have two other such sites. My main site (aka.org) is installed at the web server root level, then the two others are installed in subfolders. The notification options works fine in at least the one (nwk.aka.org) I have tested (the other one doesn't have AMS or newBB2 isntalled). I am hoping there isn't a problem installing additional iterations of XOOPS in subfolders that way.

So, as I said, this issue appears to be a problem with Xoops. I am running 2.0.10, but as I remember, this was happening before I upgraded.

Incidentally, another thing I just noticed (I should pay more attention to my own forums) is that the window for messages in newBB2 is too wide, squashing the left blocks to become abnormally narrow (and ugly)

Any suggestions would be welcome. By the way, do you ever sleep?

NewBB2 -can't indicate notification options

I have the latest version of newBB2 installed. When I select a notification option, global or for a particular forum, the choice does not "stick". That is, when I come back to the page the checkbox is not checked. I have the correct selections for notification options in prefs. I have a second iteration of newBB2 running on another site on the same server. It works as expected.

Any suggestions for how I can fix this problem, short of uninstalling and reinstalling newBB2, which would mean I'd lose my forum entries, I suppose.
