My task at hand is for PHP code to take an image file and create from it a stamped PDF file. Since there’re lots of images and going through all of them manually, creating embedded pdf files, isn’t very good

[Olik]

No, it is just an image file (jpg, png, etc.). Thank you!

[Olik]

I want to add to this by myself – just in case PDF Stamper doesn’t do it, it is possible to create PDF files with dompdf library on the fly, and then apply PDF Stamper to it.

I have some code for that, I can share with you, if you wish.

Hi,

I used the following solution: https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/dropdown-menus-are-not-working-not-opening?replies=3#post-83410

Hi,

I just had the same challenge happening, and I found another solution, so you’re welcome to use it, too, if you wish.

I found the answer here:

[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12458522/bootstrap-dropdown-not-working]

The matter was that my theme already includes bootstrap.min.js, and in wp-affiliate-platformwp_affiliate_platform1.php you have the following code:

if (is_a($post, 'WP_Post') && has_shortcode($post->post_content, 'wp_affiliate_view2')) {

wp_enqueue_style('wpapview2bscss', WP_AFF_PLATFORM_URL . '/views/style2/assets/css/bootstrap.css');

wp_enqueue_style('wpapview2customcss', WP_AFF_PLATFORM_URL . '/views/style2/assets/css/wpap.style2.css');

wp_enqueue_script('wpapview2bsjs', WP_AFF_PLATFORM_URL . '/views/style2/assets/js/bootstrap.min.js', array('jquery'));

}

(so this is specific for the shortcode of affiliate_view2)

when I commented out the line that enqueues bootstrap.min.js, the dropdowns started to open.

But since I want to build a system, where I can update your plugins with no change, as much as possible, I just added to our functions.php the following lines:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_stylesheets_and_scripts', 20 );

function remove_stylesheets_and_scripts() {

wp_dequeue_script( 'wpapview2bsjs' );

}

You’re welcome to use it

1. Now in the shopping cart there are two fields:

(1) Enter Affiliate id

(2) Enter coupon code

I guess, in the feature you mentioned, you meant the “Enter affiliate id” field? Or the feature is, the affiliate id can be entered into the “coupon code” field?

I was asking, if it was possible to have only one field there, used both for coupons, and for affiliate id, used as a coupon.

4. I meant this addon:

5. The question also relates to the addon in (4).

6. The question is both for the addon above, and without it.

Thank you!

Maybe it’s somehow connected to Sandbox.. someone posted this at StackOverflow:

“We have multiple sites that uses PayPal standard with PDT and IPN callbacks, when I switch this to sandbox mode things don’t work but works outside of the sandbox.”

Or did you test PDT with Sandbox and saw it working?

[Olik]

It doesn’t seem to be the case with us.. and what about PDT?

[Olik]

Ok, I give up, it isn’t working as I would expect – sometimes IPN indeed, sends the notification to the site too late, when the Thank You page is already shown.

I read about the difference between IPN and PDT, I found, that I can set PDT for testing with Sandbox, too, I followed both your and PayPal’s instructions on setting PDT, and it isn’t working.

Can you please tell me, where even to begin to debug it?

On this page: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-instant-digital-product-delivery-499 I did all it said, I even put the code [wp_eStore_display_transaction_result] (even though in your code it is said that it is deprecated – but I put it just in case it did call some functions that would be needed, and also I thought maybe I could see, how to retrieve the data, coming from PDT) in our Thank You page, and it leaves it all empty.

When I check the code of this shortcode function, I understand, that it couldn’t work – because $_SESSION doesn’t contain the needed “tx” variables.

And the filter function you told me to use, is still never called.

Aside from that, I see that the payment process at the PayPal Sandbox became much longer, when I enabled PDT (and Auto). So it does do something?

Could you please help?

Thank you!

By the way, I just saw this: “currently you need to have auto redirect enabled in your PayPal account for this feature” at the bottom of that article above. What exactly redirect is meant here? I didn’t find any redirect feature there, except for Auto Return. Is it what is meant?

Thank you!

Hi,

I will describe to you both the problems and the solution, just in case you might need it some time.

What I need is the following: when constructing the html (in php) for Thank You page, I need to have id’s of those items that were just purchased.

The filter you suggested first, I tried and saw it never got called. I looked at the code and got the idea that it would only be working when PDT is set. But it seems like too much is required for that PDT, plus it cannot be tested with Sandbox.

I don’t really care, if it’s IPN or PDT or anything else, as soon as it’s working, doesn’t have too many requirements (PDT, for example, requires Business account and many settings in different places) and can be tested in Sandbox.

The function you just suggested, – I found it as action, not filter, in that addon for Post Payment Actions.

I copied it from there to my code, and it worked.. kind of.

Why kind of – because sometimes it got called before the Thank You page is shown, and sometimes after!

I’m checking in the eStore_payment_debug log. I see that when I pay (in Sandbox) and return to Thank You page after PayPal, sometimes the data is updated, and sometimes not.

When I check the log, I see that when it is updated – the function called on that action hook, was called before the php code runs that creates Thank You page.

And when the data is not updated – I can see in the payment log that the function from action hook wasn’t called yet. When I refresh the debug log a bit later – it shows the debug info printed in that function from action hook.

When I then refresh (or just load afresh) the Thank You page, the data is shown updated.

I updated the priority of the add_action call, to 1 instead of 10, it helped a bit, but still not always managed to work on time.

Then I went to see, where this action is called, and found, that earlier in that processing there is a filter, eStore_notification_email_body_filter, which certainly gets called earlier.

So I called it, and it helped.

Since I called it early and payment_data['eMember_userid'] wasn’t there yet, I parsed the ipn_data['custom'].

A big challenge was that the php code, creating Thank You page, and the code that runs on that action or filter, run in different web sessions, so no cookies, no global variables, no session could help.

So what I did was:

(In the action/filter)

From the ipn_data ($payment_data) I got eMember_id, got by it WP user id.

From the cart_items I got the purchased item id’s.

Then I wrote them into WP user_meta, to that user id.

(In the php code, creating Thank You page)

From member logged in, got eMember_id, got by it WP user id.

Read, used and deleted the user_meta field.

I hope, with that early call (to that filter) it will continue to work.

Thank you for your help, plugins and addons, I learn from them a lot.

Hi,

I now set the Sandbox environment and started to test it. And I saw, that it isn’t working – the filter function doesn’t get called.

I looked through the site documentation, and I found this page:

https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-estore-instant-digital-product-delivery-499

Does it mean, it’s the only option I have – I need to do all that in order to get the product ids that were purchased, in my php code, producing Thank You page?

I looked through PayPal’s documentation, and from what I understand, there is no way to set PDT in Sandbox account. So I couldn’t test it.

And I’m thinking.. – I don’t need those shortcodes to work, I don’t need the transaction id, I only need the ids of the items that were purchased (I would extract them myself in PHP, no need for any system output or download links). Surely, even without PDT, eStore plugin sends the emails to the buyer and to the seller, does the membership upgrades etc., so the system still knows, even without all those options, which items were purchased, right?

So maybe, there is a way for me to extract it somehow? Maybe from the database, or however?

Thank you!

P.S. I might have just found another solution! I just saw there is an addon for Post Payment Actions, I will try to extract the needed code from there, and then report, if it gave the solution. Thank you!

[Olik]

Thank you very much! I will try that!

[Olik]

I want to show (on the ‘thank you’ page) a corresponding set of messages – if the purchased item was of downloadable nature, it is one set of messages, if physical – another. Also, if the purchased was subscription or a once-payment, it also will influence the set of messages.

Also, as an upsell, it would be nice to show a set of related items to those purchased.

Thank you!

[Olik]

When accessing the download page and attempting to download the pdf from two other computers, the button does not show at all, but rather is replaced by text that says 'You must be logged in to download the file'. This message is given even though I am already logged in.

it can be if you are not logged into WP, only logged into eMember
