lm_paypal Subscriptions arent adding/changing Roles

Did you get ipn info back on your logs?

Having the same issue in the D7 (7.x-1.x-dev) development version. Emails are sent, transaction is processed, and recurring payment is also set. But nothing seems to happen on Drupal's end.

bump

Happens to me, but it is not systematic, that is some users have been able to have their role added, but others not. I'm using the 1.0 version but will replace it with the x-1 dev version to see if it works any better.

Do you know of a module for drupal 6 which works fine, just for the paid role functionality?

I am currently trying Ubercart as an alternative, but I haven't tested it with real transactions yet. I'd prefer to use something simpler for this, like lm_paypal, but if it's not possible...

I'm simply going to remove this module and handle it by hand. But instead of monthly subscriptions I will sell yearly subscriptions with no refund and I'll keep track of users and dates myself in the old fashioned way.

Combining these identical issues: http://drupal.org/node/1321182

This module seems preety much abandoned. No feedback for more than a year from the devellopers. So frustrating to bump over one very useful module like this, see the users reporting problems about it and getting absolutely no feedback

Use curl insted of socket
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://{$_lm_paypal_host}/cgi-bin/webscr");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $req);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Host: {$_lm_paypal_host}"));
$ret = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Hope this will work

Finally I went with a paid drupal module to handle all my paid membership, because at least there is someone to deal with, he's not a ghost since it is his livelyhood..
In fact I was going to use ubercart + paypal gateway to add/remove roles, but in fact I bought my first ever module instead, because I thought I'm not interested in dealing with bugs and lack of updates anymore, so for this part of the job I'll rely instead on a paid module.
Thanksfully using Drupal since 2004, it is the first time I bought a paid module, and I didn't even have to, since it is possible to do the same with several free modules and maybe applying patches if there are outstanding bugs, but still it is possible the free way and that's very good.

This module is effectively abandoned until a new maintainer steps up. I don't have any time to maintain this anymore.

I've been doing some work on it recently. I'll see if I can clear out some of issues in the queue.

Thanks for your recent work on the module, John Franklin. May I suggest that you put something on the module's home page, saying that the module, or this version of the module, is not currently usable, until a later date when it is stable? I ask this because I've spent an awful lot of time installing and configuring the module, setting up PayPal sandbox accounts, and I've drawn up 18 pages of notes for myself for future reference, but now I've discovered that that was all wasted time and effort — which I so can't afford due to the pressure of my workload — and now I'll have to set this functionality up for my client in Übercart instead. Please consider putting up a disclaimer to caution other developers. Thank you.
