PayPal Buttion and | Piping Issues

Hi Guys,

First of all love the product.

I have an issue with PayPal button codes and integrating the pipe feature for the iDev Aff Program.

Let me explain in details what I’m doing and have tried.

I have followed Jason original video on using custom capabilities pipes in paypal buttons as seen here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXMnJO63ThE

But no matter what I do the result on page looks like this

I currently am using payment notifications and specified post/page sale notifications under the API scripting section
in S2member on my WordPress blog. I have the latest Pro version installed.

I also have the PHP execution plugin installed.

Following Jasons video I went and got the following code from inside my IDev set up

Setup and Tools > Developer tools- API Scripts > Generate a Commission

http://websitename.com/services/sale.php?idev_saleamt=99.99&idev_ordernum=abc-123&ip_address=111.111.111.11

Where website name is the actual site name as generated by idev

Moving onto Jason’s video example I took the above code and added it into the “payment notifications” and “specified post/page sale notifications” settings under API Scripting in my S2Members setup on the WordPress blog.

Changes were made as such

http://website.com/services/sale.php?idev_saleamt=%%amount%%&idev_ordernum=%%txn_id%%&ip_address %%cv1%%

Then I created PayPal buttons using the both the PayPal Pro Forms option and the PayPal Buttons option to get what I needed.

For example sake I’ll focus on the PayPal Buttons

The code I get back is like this

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ebook," desc="eBook Only" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="website.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="47" rp="1" rt="L" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

Where website.com is the actual site name where the button is created

I then change the code to reflect the addition of the piped in %%cv1%% tag as such

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ebook," desc="eBook Only" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="website.com|" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="47" rp="1" rt="L" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

But as explained above when I view the button on site it always looks like the following no matter what I do.

I have also tried changing the “payment notifications” and “specified post/page sale notifications” as such

http://website.com/services/sale.php?idev_saleamt=%%amount%%&idev_ordernum=%%txn_id%%&ip_address %%user_ip%%

and button code to

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="ebook," desc="eBook Only" ps="paypal" lc="" cc="USD" dg="0" ns="1" custom="website.com|$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="47" rp="1" rt="L" rr="BN" rrt="" rra="1" image="default" output="button" /]

And I still get the same result…

So what is the solution to this issue?

Never mind….

The issue is fixed…

All came down to the plugin

The plugin needs to be manually installed via FTP for it to work correctly.

the directory name in the .zip downloaded file is “php-execution-plugin”

If you use WordPress to install the plugin that is the directory you get.

If you install it by FTP and change the directory name to “php-execution” then all works fine.

Glad you found and fixed the problem Nicholas. :)
