LM PayPal Drupal 4.7/5 module with donations, subscriptions and paid adverts (classifieds)

Should feature requests / suggestions be copied over to this new thread? I'm not sure that mine was seen in the last thread due to its massive size and lack of response.

Nick

thank you! Let me know if you hear back from infrastructure, or don't hear back from infrastructure within 3 days or something

I installed v 1.22.
I started to make something. it looked fine.
so I moved it to the sandbox with other modules (specifically og)

I got this error when the user goes to My account

user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.type FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid' at line 1 query: SELECT u.name, DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.type FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid INNER JOIN node_access na ON na.nid = n.nid WHERE (na.grant_view >= 1 AND ((na.gid = 0 AND na.realm = 'all') OR (na.gid = 0 AND na.realm = 'og_public') OR (na.gid = 0 AND na.realm = 'og_all') OR (na.gid = 14 AND na.realm = 'og_subscriber'))) AND n.uid = 2 AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.nid DESC LIMIT 0, 10 in /var/www/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

If I disable the lm suite, the errors go away. If I reenable the lm suite, the errors come back.

this does not happen on the site where og is not installed

I now have 5 test sites, trying to test the lm modules, cck, og and some experimental modules. It's pretty confusing. I posted a question about whether there is a better way to isolate module interactions.

your comments appreciated

Lee,
thanks for your helpful reply on the other thread about 5 sandboxes. I wrote back there. since I don't know if you are tracking the other one, I wanted to ask here -- did you mean you have about 5 test sites like I do, or 2 test sites like the other person?

note to others: you can put the names of the (major) installed modules into the site slogan to keep track of which test site is testing which combination of modules. this was inspired by a suggestion from Lee.

Lee,
It was such a relief to get your answer. I was worried last night that maybe module interactions will be too complicated to deal with. thank you for fixing it so fast, and adding an explanation that really helped me learn a little about how problems in module interaction manifest themselves. (I sent you another donation.)

What's the best way to upgrade from 1.21 to 1.22.

The upgrade.txt file is a bit confusing because it talks about 1.5 and 1.6 etc.

Thanks.

Hi,
I installed lm_paypal 1.22 on a different site that already had ecommerce and other modules running. When I clicked on the subscriptions tab I got this error:

user warning: Unknown column 'kind' in 'field list' query: SELECT subid, item_name, description, status, kind, rid FROM lm_paypal_subscriptions in /home/investor/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

I'm running 4.7.3. I've checked the settings in admin for lm_paypal and they look fine.
Is this a conflict with another module?

Also, under admin->LM_Paypal the only options are:
Subscriptions
Show Paid Adverts
Saved IPNs

Is this correct or did I miss something somewhere?

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned. If it has, please ignore.

On the 'LM Paypal Donations Help' page (admin/help/lm_paypal_donations) there is a link for 'LM PayPal Help'. It currently goes to 'help/lm_paypal' which doesn't work. I believe it should go to: 'admin/help/lm_paypal' (?).

Hi,
Maybe I've messed up my settings, but whenever a new user submits an ad it shows the "Ad has been created" message instead of the Paypal Publish tab at the top.
When I enter the site as admin and got to content I can view the newly submitted ad and image and when I do it gives ME the Paypal Publish tab.
Did I misconfigure something?

Apologies if this has been answered in the previous thread.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I encountered another error after clicking the "My Account" link.

user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.type FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid' at line 1 query: SELECT u.name, DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.type FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON n.uid = u.uid INNER JOIN node_access na ON na.nid = n.nid WHERE (na.grant_view >= 1 AND ((na.gid = 0 AND na.realm = 'all') OR (na.gid = 2 AND na.realm = 'term_access'))) AND n.uid = 4 AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.nid DESC LIMIT 0, 10 in /home/investor/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

Any ideas?

Also, I thought that the user would be able to view ads they have not paid for under the My Account link? Is this due to the error above?

Thanks,
Heather

UPDATE: I found a fix in the previous thread. I'll give it a try. Sorry! I should do more reading prior to posting.

Drupal 4.73
lm_paypal 1.22

Successfully installed ln_paypal. Works great!

Registration work flow worked smoothly

installed CCK/Views/Contemplate

Then, when navigating to /user/register I get the login page, not the registration page. Also, the tab "Register" is missing from /user/

Does anyone know what causes this?

joeh

Could you please explain to me how the E-Commerce integration works? For instance what modules from this should I have enabled?
All I need are the more advanced subscription options such as assigning roles to subscribers.

Also if I use this with E-Commerce would I still be able to have a subscription as a product in my store? I mean would it look the same to the end user? Can they just click on the item like any other and then click on the Add to cart button which goes through E-Commerce and adds it to the same cart as everything else?

It would be really great if a .pot or .po file was included in order to translate the whole thing into other languages.

I'd be happy to contribute a Dutch translation.

(Contact me by email if you need to, I don't come here often :) )

Lee,

Thank u so much for your effort in developing, then carrying to completion, the IM_paypal module. It is people like you that really make open source GO, but not only that, allow it to keep going.

Personally, as I have been developing and completing the same, my own site, I have been awaiting the new or a new simple, yet functional subscription pay module. I had looked closely at the amember.com offering which seems to have some pretty neat features and had pretty much decided upon using it in lieu of a viable Drupal related/compatiable offering being brought to the table. However, my one concern with amember is that it is a 3rd party plugin and u can just never be certain how it would be integrated into core Drupal and/or Drupal contrib modules. Any missteps here, even small, could take a user to bug and error hello, with no real guarantee of a safe return.

So again, thank u for the LM_paypal module and developing the same around with core Drupal in mind. Some money is poorly spent and some money is well spent. I for one believe that donations to developers of your sort who have poured in countless amounts of time, energy and effort, that others, beside themselves might utilize and benefit is money very, very, well spent. I will be making a donation as a small token of my very large appreciation of your effort and respect for the valuable time you and others give.

Peace, and may the force continue to be with u.

Genuinely,

Publishing

lee,
how do version numbers work?

if i enable the ad module, the admin/modules page becomes blank. i get header already sent errors.

then i saw it was version1.6 (ads)
i thought maybe i was testing the wrong version.

then i saw version 1.22a has version1.6 for ads.

do the modules numbers not match up?
(maybe that's standard procedure. thought it makes it hard to tell if we have the right version of an add on module)

this is 1.6 from tar version 1.22
if I enable lm ads, i get this

Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/boxone/modules/lm_paypal/lm_paypal_paid_adverts.module:502) in /var/www/boxone/includes/common.inc on line 266.

i believe this usually means an extra blank space at the end. I went into the module (and removed the closing ?> tag which Drupal disallows). Save the file. same issue.

admin -- modules page becomes blank.

thanks for fixing the deprecated warnings so quickly.

Hi Lee,
I'm testing the cvs version.
1) deprecated gone.
thank you
2) header error gone.

3) all subscriptions appear correctly (fixed from earlier)

thank you very much.

Tried both install methods and each resulted in blank admin>modules page. No errors returned in log. Has this been seen?

Site is 4.7.3, MySQL 5.0.22, Apache 2.2.2 on Fedora Core 5.

Hi
I'm new to drupal, and I've installed quite a few modules now, and they always seem to create the tables themselves. However, when I instal lm_paypal no new tables appear.
Any clues?
Debs

I'm wondering which of the 3 modules people are using live.

Hi,
This concerns the out of memory error discussed in a prior thread:
"PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 58368 bytes)..."
I've read the threads and believe I understand the recommended solution is to pump up the memory limit variable in php.ini.
However...
I've installed the software on two different domains which are served by two different hosts. In both cases, the memory limit is set at 8M. Yet, lm-paypal installs and runs fine on one, but returns the memory error on the other. There's no apparent difference in php, mysql or unix, they're all exactly the same versions.
Support at one of the hosts suggested that 8M should handle just about anything reasonable, and that the memory variable settings don't do a consistent job of controlling stuff anyhow. They're not inclined to be okay about raising the limit. I realize this is a fairly typical sort of response from support at a host, having dealt with them for years ;), but I'm stumped.
Is there any chance the memory requirements of lm-paypal will be reduced, or is there any other work around? I'm reluctant to go live with the module if I can't count on consistent performance, regardless of where the problem is coming from.
This isn't meant to be critical of your package - it's a urgently needed module for those of us who want to run drupal as a paid subscription site. It seems like everything is great except for this one problem.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The LM Paypal Subscriptions sounds very useful but I need some help on how to best utilize it. By the way, if I end up using this module, I will most definitely make a small contribution to the developer for his fine work!

When I go to http://example.com/admin/lm_paypal/subscriptions/new in my Drupal admin, it states the following:

LM PayPal Create New Subscription
Subscribers Organic Group:
The Organic Group subscribers become members of. Only used when kind is Organic Group. Only "Invite Only" groups can be used in subcsriptions.

In addition, I see that organic groups (OG) have four (4) "subscription request" categories:
1. open - subscription requests are accepted immediately.
2. moderated - subscription requests must be approved.
3. invite only - subscriptions must be created by an administrator.
4. closed - subscriptions are fully administered by an administrator.

What I'd like to do is allow a visitor to join one or more OGs on my web site after paying a subscription fee.

I would like a visitor clicking on Paypal Subscribe to see options I've created such as Bronze, Silver, and Gold, click on one of them, e.g. "Silver", be taken to Paypal to pay for the "Silver" subscription, and then be granted "Silver" access to the OG that was just joined without having to wait for admin approval. With LM Paypal Subscriptions, is the subscription "created" after the payment is made at paypal.com, or does the new subscriber actually have to wait hours or even a day or more for the administrator to get around to "creating" the subscription even though the payment was already made? I'm hoping the process is automated vs. requiring manual subscription creation from the administrator.

Also, is there a way to test LM Paypal Subscriptions with my Paypal business account without actually having real funds being moved around? I would like to test LM Paypal Subscriptions without adding and subtracting a bunch of different dollar amounts from my business account (it creates messy accounting records). Is LM Paypal Subscriptions testing possible in a sandbox?

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

First - thank you for a great module!

I have it implimented on v4.74 as a simple yearly subscription.
Works great, no issues, except - there seams to be some truncation of the email messages when setting up the subscription.

Is this a "feature" or have I done something stupid in implimenting?

whenever I click on an lm_paypal link, it appears to be working except that in my watchdog log, a "Permission Denied" to "anonymous" shows up for lm_paypal.

And, related to this, I cannot get the settings/lm_paypal to show the email address field for setting up paypal. It just has a "submit" button. Watchdog shows the permission denied to anonymuous when accessing admin/settings/lm_paypal.

Any ideas?

LM_PayPal apparently does NOT support recurring debits via a credit card.

So, I'm still looking for an affordable solution to my need for recurring billing via a credit card. I need an open-source shopping cart or a Drupal module that will allow automated processing of credit card payments without end-user interaction, and to do so preferably on someone else's server such as PayPal's as I prefer to NOT store credit card numbers.

1. Does anyone know if there is ANY Drupal module that does recurring billing via a credit card? Does anything in the Drupal ecommerce module allow this?

2. Does anyone know if there is ANY open-source shopping cart that does recurring billing via a credit card?

3. It appears to me that LM_PayPal not have a release for 4.7.x. Under lm_paypal "Releases, all I can find is the Nightly development snapshot from HEAD. Is this HEAD module good to go for 4.7.x, or does it still need to be finalized in some way before the developer can name it 4.7.x? Basically, what's the difference between calling something "HEAD" and calling it, in this case, "4.7.x"?

4. Does anyone know if LM_PayPal is going to be updated to work with Drupal 5.x, or is the HEAD version referred to in #2 above good to go for 5.x? I don't see the 5.x status listed at Contrib modules version 5.x status. Also, I want to be sure the LM_PayPal developer is going to continue working on this module before I decide to depend on it.

Thanks in advance & Happy New Year!

I'm having trouble setting up a subscription for paid advertisements. Do I need to have installed the taxonomy access control module to set up a subscription by node?
Otherwise, subscriptions and donations are working great!

Hi
the module is working great with text and graphic banners, however I want to add a javascript banner. When I do I just get a blank box where the banner should be. Here's the javascript I want to add:

<script language="javascript">
var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(js)pool(174076)a(1320560)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);
document.write('<sc'+'ript language="JavaScript" src="'+uri+'" charset="ISO-8859-1"></sc'+'ript>');
</script>

What I've tried:
1. nothing in URL, mode javascript, code in content
2. as above but adding the code as Full HTML instead of filtered HTML
3. as 1, but removing the lines <script language="javascript"> and corresponding end tag

I have tinyMCE installed too - in case that might be causing the problem?
If anyone can give me a pointer in the right direction I'd be very happy!

My apologies if this has already been addressed....

I'm trying to set up a classifieds system using CCK and Views, hopefully with LM_Paypal as the payment module. The issue I'm running into is that when I set up a View to show the classified nodes, the unpaid nodes show up in the filtered results. If a user clicks into an unpaid node they get the message that it's not published yet. I thought LM_Paypal kept the nodes from being published until they're paid....should they still be showing up in the Views results?

There may also be a need for the classified nodes to go into moderation queue before being published. There are some issues with that, but I'd like to do some more testing before bothering you with it.

Thanks for making this module!

I'm thinking about using lm_paypal with my subscription website that I am already running with drupal and paypal. One question I hope you can take the time to answer - if the module is being used and someone goes to paypal to sign up for a subscription will the module create the user account for them - or does someone need to create a user account on drupal first and then go to paypal and pay - with the module updating the paypal account? Guess I'm asking if the modele can create the user accounts for people who buy a subscription... Thanks - Mike

Totally inexperienced with Drupal here, so please forgive me if I'm misunderstanding.

I'm developing a site that offers both free and premium editorial content. We are designing it so non-subscribed users will see excerpts of premium content with a link to subscribe to read the full article. Does this module enable this type of interaction? If not, is this possible at all with Drupal? Thanks very much in advance for help and advice.

I am having trouble with this and maybe I am making it more complicated than it really is.

I set up the node to charge for classifieds. I post the ad and get the pay for ad button. In the admin it shows not published. I go live site and pay and I see the IPN show up but the ad doesn't show up. I ran cron. Does the ad automatically go live or does the admin have to publish it?

I do have all 4 mods enabled. Do I have to create a role or something for this?

I did find 2 things in the log:

1. IPN but no fields, ignored
2. process_in cannot find ipn: 0

These 2 are connected.

Hi all

i am new to drupal and i am using ln_paypal for subscription. but i am facing some problem in subscription. i am able to connect to www.sandbox.paypal.com and also payment is reflecting in my paypal's account. And also paypal is redirecting me to back on my web site (http://localhost/abc/). every thing is going fine except i am not able to subscribe to some new subscrption i set for?

As i think after paying to paypal, when i login again then my account tab, my subscription details should display. if i am wrong please correct me.

i ahve set ipn at paypal sandbox and enable it also.

can any body suggest me in this matter. for the last days i am looking forums and all details on drupal.org. but still i am in middle.

if some body helps me, it will be highly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

I am interested in the possibility of using Drupal to publish a magazine with issues where the current issue is available only to paid subscribers (back issues available to all users, including anonymous users). I've been looking at this LM paypal model as a way to enable these paid subscriptions. It seems that the nodeaccess/organic groups modules would be needed for the access-control part of the operation. Not sure which or perhaps both.

Am I on the right track?

One thing I am concerned about is whether or not it will be possible to have subscribers access only the latest issue. From my research, I've only found information about how to grant subscribers access to the entire site or to particular forums/forum topics.

The other issue is keeping records of subscribers, including the details of their subscription (i.e date subscribed, subscription expiry date, etc). I imagine CiviCRM would do this but I think it might be too much of a learning curve to start with. Does the LM Paypal module allow simple records to be maintained - i.e. export to Excel?

Michele

am i posting in the right place??

i installed lm_paypal module into drupal 4.7 and everything seems to be set up properly, however i subscribe and i'm redirected back to the site and the user is still unable to assume the 'paid' role. i looked in the admin log and i see calls to cron however i'm using poormans cron. could this be my problem? i see that nothing has been entered in the database(s)

also i actually am running drupal 5.3 for my website. i installed the 5.0 dev version and it looks like it didn't create the ipn database. i set up 4.7 to see how it worked in there and i see the database. if i was going to use this with 5.3 could i just copy the databse from 4.7 and put it in 5.3.

i was thrilled to find this module!

thanks

Lee;

I have the module working trouble is I dont seek the visa credit card showing up unless Iam logged in.
if Iam just viewing the site I would like for the clients to click on the CC and have the module do it's thing but for what ever reason it's not showing up. Yes I have it set for all view just to test it once I get it fixed I will close down the registered user / member as they dont need to view it they are already members.
Help I am so close to getting this going.

First I have to say very simple to set up and everything seems to work great even beeing payed through paypal. The one thing that does not work and of course the most important thing for my users is that after the user has subscribed and payed he logs out and then logs back into his account but the new features he should be seeing on my site are not there. I have two user type roles there are Authenticated users which is not a role type and Premium user role The only features right now that the Premium user role get that the Authenticated users don't get are a special tab that I created in the users profile page using the profile module and the webfm module these two features are for Premium user role only. The Authenticated user who subscribes to the Premium account using lm paypal is set up as a Premium user role after paying but the features don't show up. When I look at all subscriptions it shows this user as subscribed and his status is live. I am using Drupal 5.1 also the menu link that gets him to the webfm is not visible after this subscription. Any help is Greatly I mean Greatly appreciated. This module is to slick to have it fail just at the end of the process. Help Help Please, I tried clearing my browser cache but no help there. is there a certain amount of time the user has to wait for the new features to become visible to him?

Eric

I would like to make a node private so that it requires a subscription. I have the subscription all set up I just cant figure out how to make the node "private"

Thanks for the great Module, Lee!

I'm trying to get user redirected after paying subscription fee to another page, but it does not work for some reason. What function can I use to define that the user actually paid? What exactly changes after the payment process?

I'm not too good in php, though. Please advice.

if (function_exists('lm_paypal_can_subscribe')) {
   $subid = 1;
  if (lm_paypal_can_subscribe ($subid)) {
    print 'Your registration is not complete. To subscribe to the service please click on the icon bellow:' . lm_paypal_subscribe($subid,8); }
}
 else {
   header( 'Location: http://www.mypage.com' ) ;}

Thank you!

Hello, i am trying to use lm_paypal module. I've installed lm_paypal module, created a lm PayPal Subscription and associated this subscription with a classified Ads node type but still i can post n see ads without any need for payment. When i click at "PayPal Subscribe", i get "No subscriptions currently defined" but, if i login as admin, i can see all the ads as unpublished,clicking at not published link takes me to a page with a paypal button. But i want this thing for the ad poster whether its admin or some other registered user.

However, if i enable "administer lm_paypal" in access control settings under user management for authenticated users, i can see all the unpublished ads by clicking at my account link, but, i don't want those permissions to be set for registered users other than administrator.

Can u suggest what am i doing wrong here while trying to use this module?
