How to set-up paypal sandbox in ubercart

noreply@blogger.com (arnelbornales) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:18:00 -0700

taken from Ubercart PayPal sandbox setup

PayPal sandbox preface:

The trick with the PayPal sandbox is you have 3 accounts. The primary account is your developer account. This logs you into http://developer.paypal.com/. The other two (one Buyer one Seller) work within the sandbox system. You need to login with your developer account before you can use these other accounts. The way I set mine up was to use my email address for the developer account and just use the default address generated by PayPal for the Buyer and Seller accounts. Also, if need be you can create multiple Buyer and Seller accounts under your developer account.

Below is a complete step-by-step for setup and checkout (tested with Drupal 6.10 and Ubercart 2.0 beta3)

1. Go to http://developer.paypal.com/ and create an account. This is separate from any existing PayPal account you may have.

2. Click on "Create a preconfigured buyer or seller account."

3. Check "Buyer", leave the email address alone, change the password if you'd like (but remember to write it down), then click "Create Account".

4. Click again on "Create a preconfigured buyer or seller account." but this time create a "Seller" account.

5. On the "Test Accounts" page enable test mode for the business account by clicking "Disabled" (which changes it to "Enabled").

6. In Drupal, enable the PayPal module (under Ubercart - payments)

7. Under "Administer » Store administration » Configuration » Payment settings" expand the "PayPal Website Payments Standard settings".

8. Set "PayPal e-mail address:" to the "Log-in email" you see for the business account you created (unless you manually set this the email address will be something like "you_12313131233_biz@here.com"). You should be able to get to "Test Accounts" page with the link: https://developer.paypal.com/devscr?cmd=_sandbox-acct-session and see your Seller "Log-in email" address.

9. You can then change the rest of the settings in the Ubercart PayPal module as you'd like. I recommend changing the "Order review submit button text:" to something like "Pay with PayPal".

To complete a test checkout:

1. Make sure you are logged in to PayPal's sandbox server using your main account (go here: http://developer.paypal.com)

2. In Drupal proceed to checkout as you normally would and after you click the button that would normally say "Submit Order", you will be redirected to PayPal's sandbox server. If you are properly logged in with your developer account you will see "XXX's Test Store" at the top of the page.

3. Log in with your Buyer account information (something like "you_12313765733_per@here.com"). Careful here as this is constantly crashing FF3 on my machine.

4. Complete the transaction using your phony test account for the Buyer.

5. You will then see a page saying your transaction is complete and a button taking you back to your store. Order emails do not appear to get sent (to either the buyer or store admin) if the user does not click this button to return to the store, although the order's status is updated to "Payment receiver".

this works with me! thanks to ryangroe@ubercart

How to include jquery.js

noreply@blogger.com (arnelbornales) — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:31:00 -0700

Well, I just updated our company site then suddenly i have a error on one of my scripts written in jquery after a time searching for this problem i've noticed that jquery.js was not loaded.

Solution for this is creating a script.js inside your theme directory. Suppose you have a custom theme we will name as "custom_theme". inside your custom_name folder create a script.js file this way drupal will load this file as well as jquery.js

you can dig more about this in drupal http://drupal.org/node/243134

How to delete a folder/directory using cmd

noreply@blogger.com (arnelbornales) — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 02:20:00 -0700

Suppose you would like to delete a file or directory to ease some time.

let's start with locating our folder, our folder is inside My Documents we will name this deletethisfolder

open your cmd, then locate your folder.

Follow this path in your cmd

C:\Documents and Settings\admin> cd "My Documents"

Press Enter,

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents>rmdir /s /q

ex.

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents>rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\deletethisfolder"

or this:

C:\>rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\deletethisfolder"

That's it! your folder is now deleted!!!

If you want only a sub-folder under "deletethisfolder" directory let's say another_sub_directory

then we'll append the name of the sub directory/folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents>rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\deletethisfolder\another_sub_directory"

Hope this Help you GUYS! stick around!!!

Remove simple attribute with removeAttr() method

$("#t2").click(function() { $(this).removeAttr("class") });
Well, this code has no problem except under IE

this code seems to be the solution using attr("class", "")

Remove the same attribute with attr() method

$("#t3").click(function() { $(this).attr("class", "") });

If you want to see the demo just visit this site jQuery removeAttr() method bug under IE

Get the current date using jquery

noreply@blogger.com (arnelbornales) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:06:00 -0800

In this first jQuery tutorial we will develop a simple program that retrieves the current time from server and displays on the user browser. In this example we will be calling a server side PHP script to get the current server time. You can easily replace PHP with JSP, or ASP program.

Steps to develop the Current Server Time program

Step 1: Create php file to that prints the current server data. Here is the code of PHP script (time.php).

$time_now=mktime(date('h')+5,date('i')+30,date('s'));

print $time_now=date('l M dS, Y, h:i:s A',$time_now);

Step 2:Write HTML page to call the time.php. Create a new file (currentservertime.html) and add the following code into it:

Current Date and Time

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>

<title>Current Date and Time</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function timeExam()

{

$.ajax({

url : "time.php",

success : function (data) {

$("#contentArea").html(data);

}

});

setTimeout("timeExam()", 1000);

}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="timeExam();">

<table width="100%">

<tr><td width="100%" align="center">

<div id="contentArea" style="color:blue;font:bold 14px arial;padding-top:140px;">

</div>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

or do the small trick using Javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var m_names = new Array("January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");

var d = new Date();
var curr_date = d.getDate();
var curr_month = d.getMonth();
var curr_year = d.getFullYear();
document.write(curr_date + "-" + m_names[curr_month]
+ "-" + curr_year);

/* The last two lines above have
to placed on a single line */

//-->
</script>

function local_contact_page_submit($form_id, $form_values){
return(contact_mail_page_submit($form_id, $form_values));
}

function local_contact_page_validate($form, $form_state){
return(contact_mail_page_validate($form, $form_state));
}
?>

<?php print t('Contact Us'); ?>

<?php // here we will render the contact form
print drupal_get_form('local_contact_page'); ?>
