Hi Leighton,
I've installed the latest version of MS File Downloads, enabled the modules (core, file downloads, paypal) and set permissions. I've got multiple problems:
The link created for the 'buy now' button has a redirect back to the current page, so the checkout is never displayed. It seems as if nothing has happened. I removed the redirect from the 'buy now' link, and I can see that the item gets added to a cart. However, I don't need a cart or a 'continue shopping' button, so how do I skip this and go straight to paypal checkout?
To test the PayPal process, I carried on thru ms_files checkout (despite checking the 'skip checkout' option, this doesn't seem to do anything?), logged into the paypal sandbox and completed the transaction. On clicking the link to return to the merchant, the page ms_paypal_wps/thank-you is requested (even though I entered a custom 'thankyou' URL in the core settings. The ms_paypal_wps/thank-you is never found and a timeout occurs.
I'm running Drupal 6.19, and am using Boost to cache static content.
Any ideas?
Jaybee,
The Buy Now buttons actually add the products to the cart, and then redirect to the same page. A message should be displayed saying the item was added to the cart, and if you use the Cart block, it will show the items in the cart as well as a checkout button. Are you wanting to go straight to the checkout page after the item is added to the cart?
PayPal always returns to the ms_paypal_wps/thank-you page to collect variables, and then it redirects to the ms/thankyou page which will log the user in if necessary and then redirect to the custom thankyou url which you entered in the core settings. Can you try disabling the Boost module and see if that makes any difference?
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting
