problem with paypal and IPN

#1 Postby stamos » Dec 28, 2010 2:32 pm

for some reason the payment is not processed automaticly.
though in the ipn.log file all the details are okay, the user isn't promoted to Premium.
Does anyone know what means the custom field in the paypal payment?

Like:

Item Title: FileSharing+Service
Custom: 3985190485.
Date: Dec 28, 2010
Time: 13:24:04 GMT+02:00
Status: Completed

what is 3985190485.?!

i have the same problem, check your paypal account if you have set your IPN


1. Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account.
2. Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
3. Click "Instant Payment Notification Preferences" in the Selling Preferences column.
4. Click "Edit Settings."
5. Select "Receive IPN notifications (Enabled)."
6. Click "Save."

Custom field is transaction id from Transactions sql table I guess.

are your user ID's ok?
I had this issue when one of my admins created a custom user with a long id (123456789), all other users came out as that +1. premium stopped working because the field length for transactions in sql was not big enough

user IDs are 4 digits only, this should be okay.
though in the SQL-Table for transactions the userid there is always 0 so I guess something must not be okay with the IPN, that is really weird :(
