Hi,

My form work fine except when I add "On Submit code" (before or after). The code I add submits form data successfully to PayPal API, but does not save it in my Chronoforms table or generate emails.

Upon removing the code data is saved.

My version: V3.1_RC4.11.

Thank you,
Kamil

Hi Kamil,

Then something in your code is breaking ChronoForms - or just diverting everything to PayPal.

Don't do mind-reading - please post the code if you want us to look at it.

Here is the working code for PayPal's Recurring Payments API (adding tags for the benefit of readers):

Hi rhapsody,

I think that the problem is that the 'exit's at the end are exiting from ChronoForms, not just the curl

if("Success" == $httpParsedResponseAr["ACK"]) {
   exit('CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile Completed Successfully: '.print_r($httpParsedResponseAr, true));
} else  {
   exit('CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile failed: ' . print_r($httpParsedResponseAr, true));
}

Try using this instead

global $mainframe;
if("Success" == $httpParsedResponseAr["ACK"]) {
   $messsage = 'CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile Completed Successfully: ';
} else  {
   $messsage = 'CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile failed: ';
}
$mainframe->enqueumessage($message.print_r($httpParsedResponseAr, true));

Hi Kamil,

not sure if it was your post but I saw a post earlier here today and there was form tags in the form code which will make troubles for sure!

Cheers
Max

I think the problem was because of the way Joomla was installed; in configuration.php $live_site was going to "http://", without the www. So when submitting a form from the www address, it would create intermittent problems, including "you are not allowed access to this URL". After changing the $live_site it is working fine now.

Thanks,
Kamil

Hi Kamil,

Great, that makes sense, glad to hear that it's working fine.
