Greetings All !

I've posted for help over on the official Clientexec support forums and on ce-talk.com.... but just in case some experienced folks frequent THIS forum more often than those, I thought I'd post here as well:

I had Clientexec version 2.1 working with PayPal IPN and Ultimate Affiliate.

Then I upgraded Clientexec to the latest stable version... 2.5.2. I used WinMerge to do merges between the old and new versions of callback.php and plugin.paypal.php. (I had to do such merges because, in order to get the old 2.1 version working, I had to customize the code. And the new version requires similar customization.)

However, following this, not only would the "affiliate trigger" not take place when somebody paid by PayPal, the invoice wouldn't get flagged as paid either over at my site.

I spent most of yesterday working on this. I put back the original files and started small chunks of code from the "recommended method" of integrating Ultimate Affiliate (as posted on the official CE support forums)... and testing.

Basically, the "recommended method" doesn't appear to work on this version of CE.

And the way the CE people have their software set up, those scripts are both DESIGNED such that they give errors (using the GOOD versions, mind you) if you access them directly with your browser. So debugging this is troublesome.

But it seems to me that the callback.php file is currently failing when I tell it the connection string to use to connect to my Ultimate Affiliate database. I put the exact same strings into a separate php file and they work just fine, so I'm not sure why they're failing.

So now I'm asking-around to see if anybody has this all working with the latest version of Clientexec?


Thanks!
