Checkout flow not working

Hi,

lm_paypal is not a e-Commerce module and doesn't actually do anything with paypal. You need to enable the e-Commerce PayPal module which comes with e-Commerce. This module actually implements more of the PayPal API than the lm_paypal module as it also implements the PayPal Express and PayPal Pro methods of payment as well.

Once you enable this module and configure it you will go off to paypal (depending on how you configure it).

The mail I have not yet implemented rules to send emails yet. I want to implement a disabled rule which shows you how to implement mail. The main reason that I haven't done this because I am not 100% happy with this, and would like to have the Mail Editor module handle this but I would need rules integration added and also integration with Chaos Tools to allow e-Commerce to provide default email templates a long with the rules for sending emails.

Here is a rule that you can import which will send a mail message on transaction completion to the customer.

  'rules' =>

    'rules_11' => 
    array (
      '#type' => 'rule',

I hope that fixed your issue with the paypal integration.

It has been a balancing act to make sure that when e-Commerce is installed (which most people like you just install everything) and being confronted by pages of settings which can be very disheartening.

This is also the reason why e-Commerce has had the number of modules reduced to only 13, which means that if someone installs them all, they would have most likely needed to install most of them anyway.

I have been guessing that if you installed what you really needed people would most likely install 11-12 modules most of the time and then maybe adding 1 or 2 contrib modules. basically a payment gateway and a shipping module.

I am glad that that sorted it out for you.

Speaking of a book, I am considering setting up a site to build a collaborative communitity based book which anyone can contribute with the aim of being able to submit it to lulu.com to self publish.

If you are interested let me know and we can discuss this more, you can email me gordon@heydon.com.au
