Hello, I noticed that the paypal button to pay for a subscription was not working on one of my sites, Emerald was outdated so I just purchased and installed Version 9.374

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the issue, the paypal button is visible but nothing happens when I click on it

As far as i remember the paypal plugin was working normally some months ago, and I didn't change anything particular on the site (I didn't install new extensions etc..)

Joomla version 3.2.3 Emerald version 9.374

Thank you!

2 issues

  1. You updated Emerald bot not Joomla. latest version of Emerald intendent to work with latest Joomla. You cannot save plans now because before when you chekc form valididty we used .isValid(el) now .isValid('#el_id'). So update Joomla if possible.

  2. Your plan is 365 Days long. When we pth to PayPal for recurring it is not valid. It should be 12 month or 1 year. PayPal do not accept so many days.

Thanks Sergey,

I cannot update Joomla easily right now because I would have to updated many components too with extra expenses, is there a quick code fix you can suggest in order to get it working for my joomla version?

BTW I am not sure this is the cause of the paypal button not working. My plan are not set to be "recurring" (automatic recurring payment from paypal), and when I first set them up the paypal button was working normally.

Anyone there? If there is no fix can I at least try to downgrade to Emerald 9.251 (the previous version I had installed)

so that I can modify and save my plans? Or there are database structure modifications in the new 9.374 that will cause issues if I try to go back?

In the end I don't think that the paypal button issue was due to the outdated version of the component.

Thank you

nican My plan are not set to be "recurring" (automatic recurring payment from paypal)

I checked your plan and that one which was not working was recurring in paypal parameters in the plan.

nican so that I can modify and save my plans? Or there are database structure modifications in the new 9.374 that will cause issues if I try to go back?

Yes you can do that by changing components/com_emerald/views/emplan/tmpl/edit.php find

document.formvalidator.isValid('#item-form')

and replace

document.formvalidator.isValid(document.getElementById('item-form'))

Do that in every edit.php of the view you use. For example to edit subscriptions components/com_emerald/views/emsale/tmpl/edit.php.

nican In the end I don't think that the paypal button issue was due to the outdated version of the component.

Let's focus on what we can do for it to function properly. Does it work now when you changed all acording to my suggestions?

Ok, I was able to downgrade again to V. 9.251

so now I can save my plans normally

(I have read your tutorial on how to fix V. 9.374 but for me it was easier to just downgrade)

I have also checked all my plans, and set to "NO" the plan recurrency in Paypal payment system (I guess before I was looking at the wrogn screen as I hadn't notice it was set on YES on some plans)

unfortunately the paypal button is still not working :-(

This is odd... I haven't changed the password. Please try again, using the access details provided in the private tab of this topic. I have recreated the user using the same password, just to be sure.

Thanks.

Sorry, I get what it's happening! My password manager or chrome is overwriting those fields in the private tab every time I edit the topic. This is why I inserted username and password in the "Additonal instructions" field, please use those ones, I checked them and they are ok.

I see... I have tested again and the issue seem to be present only when the user frontend language is italian

I have switched your support user language to italian in frontend, and now the paypal button doesn't work when you click it.

Try to test now.

Thank you

It looks like that was due to Italian Emerald language file.

E_INVOICE_ADDRESS="Indirizzo\n"

You havd \n at the end of the translation.

Then at least open components/com_contenthistory/contenthistory.php and add replace content with

<?php
exit;

I am sure you do not use that extension.

That SQL vulnarability is accessible through this extension.
