xdonations ipn failure... a solution to my problem might help a lot of people

Hi. I'm using the xdonations module with XOOPS 2.2.4 The actual donations have always gone through to my paypal account just fine. It's the IPN that's been giving me trouble though.

When i first started using the module, the IPN would post back for a week or so and then it would always fail for about a week. It was driving me crazy but i always assumed it was something weird on paypal's end.

I recently noticed that on my localhost, the link to test the ipn ALWAYS posted back just fine. Then, I realized that it was a problem with my hosting company.

I sent them an email about it and here's the reply...
Quote:
Hello,

Please check the following line in the file /public_html/main/modules/xdonations/ipnppd.php:

$fp = fsockopen ($paypal_url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

It looks like the application is trying to connect to the paypal URl through the php function 'fsockopen'

Kindly note that the php function 'fsockopen' is disabled in our server for security reasons.




Is it reasonable for my host to disable this function? I know a lot of people use this module without problems. and is there a different way to go about it that would be acceptable to my host?


Thanks,
Mantooth

you should upload the new template file in your XOOPS admin for the template set that you're using and it should be recompiled. then, just to be sure, i would connect to the site via ftp and overwrite the old file with the new one on the actual webserver. after that, clear out templates_c and clear out your browser cache and then refresh your page. if you do all that, i don't see any way that the change won't take effect.

hey buddy. i had almost the exact same problem with cbb except it had to do with the post count


here's what you should do...
go to newbb_thread.html

instead of
<div class="comUserName"><{$topic_post.poster.link}></div>

enter
<div class="comUserName"><font color="#000000"><{$topic_post.poster.link}></font></div>

instead of #000000, enter whatever color you want.


if the change doesn't appear to take effect, make sure to clear out your templates_c directory. also, i'd change it in the template section in XOOPS and also the actual file in your web directory just to be sure.

that's how any forum you install will look as long as it's wrapped in xoops. the only thing i can suggest is making the left column invisible when in the forum module and make all major navigation available at the top banner. that's what i did with my site.

i could be wrong about this... but i think you can give certain groups permission to use the module, which lets them enter pddownloads and see the files. but then you can set permissions based on categories or individual files. so they only get the "you don't have permission" message when they click the link.

if you can't do that with pddownloads, you should try wf-downloads. i'm almost positive i had my site set up like that a long time ago.

You will need to upgrade to CBB which has superseeded NewBB


newbb does work with 2.2.x

i was using newbb2 with 2.2.3 but didn't have any problems until i upgraded to cbb. after fixing the problems, the upgrade to cbb was well worth it though

i tried to use the downgrade script one time and had a mess of problems.

in my opinion, using a backup is a whole lot simpler than trying to downgrade.

i've also learned along the way that using xampp and testing upgrades on my localhost is a really good idea. that way, you can know what errors/difficulties you might have on your production site.


on a side note...it really annoys me that you can only load tiny sql dumps using phpmyadmin. it took me many hours to figure out how to go into the command line and manually type in the correct command to load my 70mb database.

dang. i wish i'd known about that sooner. the only reason i upgraded to 2.2 was so users could set their layout and also to use the better cbb.

now that cbb 1 and 3 are merged and i know about that module, i wish i would've stayed with 2.0.13.2
