Great script and it also appears in one or two other guises, including a UK speciific version modded a lot.
No. What is it? What is it for? How can it help busy web developers? Any links to an introduction? Thanks! BTW. Welcome HolyMan!
I built a new OR site this weekend, AZ Multiple Listing Service, installed the "PayPal" module and have run into a few hurdles. #1 The URL that PayPal returns, after a successful payment, has the wrong syntax. It shows: mydomain.com/listings/listings//modules/paypal/ppbuy.php?action=success&orderid=[xxx] When it should have been: mydomain.com/listings/modules/paypal/ppbuy.php?action=success&orderid=[xxx] #2 New agents can still add a listing without having to go through PayPal. #3 Just to be sure, in the readme.txt file 2.4 it says, "Configure your menu for the agent and admin pages of the module." I'm assuming that just means to modify the "admin_top" and "user_top" files, right? Thank You So Much!!
Right now, I have a work-around through my own PayPal page but I would really like to use the OR mod. Any ideas?
Tops it is for real estate [I have two on the ski site] but it can be used for many things if you use your imagination. Here it is: http://www.open-realty.org/ It can be altered/worked into many formats eg photo album
I went and had a look and noticed that you were using a workround but unfortunately I had to do other things [as I do again today so I will be brief but will come back and fill out the holes later OK?] First. The mod itself has some sloppy coding - typically, wrong file names. For those who want to get the mod and the discussion here it is: http://www.open-realty.org/support/showthread.php?t=2777 The ppinstall.php has a link reference to pp_install.php on that page so that needs to be addressed/changed first [it is incorrectly mentioned in the thread]. Then he has forgotten to place a tempid field in billing table so you need to using phpMyAdmin add tempid varchar(20) field to billing_history table 1. I will have to come back to you on the syntax I can't remember what I did/didn't do with this. 2. New Agents cannot list direct withou going though Paypal so I am not sure what you are saying here. 3. Alter the admin_top as that is for your benefit to get to the ppadmin file - but it is not necessary. Alter the menu.php so that clients come in the correct way for advertising etc. Be back later/tomorrow
I remembered The problem lies on ppbuy.php in the form for email // form for paypal //button YES echo " <form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_xclick\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"business\" value=\"".$fgetPPAdm."\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_name\" value=\"Listings for ".$config[site_title]."\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"return\" value=\"http://www.domain.com/open-realty/modules/paypal/ppbuy.php?action=success&orderid=".$fgetOrder[id]."&pass=".$randompass."\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cancel_return\" value=\"http://www.domain.com/open-realty/modules/paypal/ppbuy.php?action=failure&orderid=".$fgetOrder[id]."\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"undefined_quantity\" value=\"0\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"receiver_email\" value=\"".$config[admin-email]."\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"no_shipping\" value=\"1\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"no_note\" value=\"1\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\"".$OrderTotal."\"> <input type=\"image\" name=\"submit\" src=\"http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but02.gif\" border=\"0\"> </form></td> "; You need to take out the .config and the php_self and "hardwire" like the above - the problem is with the PHP_self command. The only problem in the future is that you need to update this information if you use the same for other sites etc. Some other thoughts for you 1. Rentals don't work exceptionally well as you have them lumped in with Sales because of "client requirements" - this becomes especially difficult when you do Summer and Winter rentals etc so it is perhaps best to create a new database/OR for Rentals 2. There is a listingview.php mod that shows the full/larger picture at the same time as the vertical thumbnails and by clicking on the TN you change the pic without the page changing - a mate has done a job which is quite cool [url=http://www.bookspain.co.uk]Spain Rental Property[/url] and has taken in our [url=http://www.bookspain.co.uk/bookfrance/]Book France[/url] [url=http://www.ski-france-ok.com/]Ski France[/url] Properties to get it up and running. He also has done a car job on the OR [url=http://www.awdcars.co.uk/]AWD Cars[/url]. 3. He has used an availabilty Calendar which we don't use as people think that if it is available they should be able to book it but sometimes you have other people waiting so it is a bit of a pain in the butt. Anyways thats for now
Ok, I can't figure this one out. I am running two (2) instances of OR with two (2) seperate databases. One for "Listings" and one for "Rentals." Each OR program is in its own directory; "Listings" and "Rentals" The OR programs themselves run fine but... I am having trouble with the second "Paypal Module." You can still Add a Listing without paying AND the display is off. Instead of saying, "You have the following amount of Listings..." all I get is a couple of radio buttons and a submit button that doesn't diplay the graphic. I checked the database and all tables and entries seem to be there. Any ideas?
Hi all. I've just happened across this site and love what I see. I had downloaded OR last week and am just doing some preliminary work to prepare setting it up. Hope you don't mind if I seek some advice from experienced users?. Any suggestions on a strategy for trouble free startup?. I need to expand my internet account to include the Mysql server and am just now brushing up on that servers interface. I've done plenty of Perl scripting but am somewhat new to PHP. Don't think that will get in my way though. I'll keep you posted on my success. I practice real estate sales as a realtor, but would like to explore the concept of offering FSBO listing services as a prospecting tool.
1. You do not need Perl 2. You do not need to know php but if you know Perl you will know how to hack. 3. You do not need to use the OR as your index page - you can install it separate to your site and then alter the look in the templates - use the vertical option to start [if you want, as it is set up that way] 4. Upload OR1.1.5 and name the directory eg "white-house" 5. Before setting it going configure the common.php in the includes to point to your database that you have established - the usual is eg real-est_whitehouse, user: real-est_foxy with the user permissions allowed for the database. To establish your database go into your cpanel or vdeck and click on databases and add a database. 6. Alter the other info to give the path etc. 7. Run http://www.yourdomain.com/white-house/configurator.php 8. It should come up ok, click where it says click 9. No red? all is OK 10. Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/white-house/ [Remember to remove the configurator.php at some point] You should have it up and running in 10 minutes max. Now for the style. These are altered in the templates - if you want to use the images for buttons then you need to make the buttons and label them the same - either way it is all in tables and you can move things as you wish starting with the user_top.html and user_bottom.html I have attached a couple of these hacked that are on the ski site in my sig that will give you an idea One good thing is to put the "previous - next" stuff at the bottom of listing_browse.php - to do that you need this: here just at the bottom: Hope this helps
I figured it out. I somehow skipped install step 2.2 In /include/language/english.php add following line right after $lang = array(); or in "//module language file includes" section if you have installed fullmod include("".$config[basepath]."/include/language/english/paypal.php");
