after a payment, user is redirected to shop/checkout.
all is working fine.
I use Paypal sandbox for the moment.

Perhaps I should be redirected to orderview?
but I stay on a blank page.
perhaps it's because of a not real payment gateway?

but I would like to display a message that says "thanxs for your payment"...(in a custom template)

I dont know how to redirect from this page.

I try to modify shop/checkout.php but nothing works fine.

Please help..

You can make a workflow event type which fetches the template, and let shop/checkout/after trigger a workflow with this event.

Or you can modify shop/checkout.php.

Line 170:

$module->redirectTo( '/shop/orderview/' . $orderID );

You can change it so it redirects to a custom module view:

$module->redirectTo( '/shop/thanks/' . $orderID );

Or you can fetch the template:

include_once( 'kernel/common/template.php' );

$tpl =& templateInit();
$tpl->setVariable( 'order_id', $orderID );

$Result['content'] =& $tpl->fetch( 'design:shop/thanks.tpl' );
$Result['path'] = array( array( 'url' => false, 'text' => ezi18n( 'kernel/shop', 'Checkout' ) ) );

thx kristof,
I've found where is the problem:

no problem for template redirection.

but checkout.php just make loop at sleep function here:

 if ( $paymentObj != null )
        {
		echo"paymentobject!=null<br>";
            $startTime = time();
            while( ( time() - $startTime ) < 29 )
            {
                eZDebug::writeDebug( "next iteration", "checkout" );
                $order =& eZOrder::fetch( $orderID );
                if ( $order->attribute( 'is_temporary' ) == 0 )
                {
				echo"order temporary=0 ok<br>";	
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
				echo"sleep<br>";
                    sleep ( 2 );
                }

so , I don't understand what it means exactly

I have no experience with the eZ shop functionality, but it seems to wait some seconds until the value is_temporary is 0.

As far as I've studied the code, I think it's waiting for the shop/checkout operation to finish. eZShopOperationCollection::activateOrder uses $someEZOrder->activate( ), which sets is_temporary to 0. The pre-checkout workflow however doesn't finish.

Can you do some virtual payings with the Paypal sandbox? If an order get's payed, it should do a callback to your site and the workflow will finish (and with it the checkout operation).

In the other thread you write:

<i>in my case server is no visible from the internet so ...no solution for testing it.. :(</i>

If your server isn't accesible from outside, Paypal won't be able to do the callback to the paypal module, and the workflow won't end.

Kristof is right, your server has to be accessible from the internet.

FYI, you have several logs on your var/log directory about the payments :
eZPaypal_notify_url.log is going to be created and full of information.

BTW, the new interface at paypal seems to have a positive impact on the bottom line (easier to order if you don't have a paypal account).

nothig more after that myserver is accessible from internet.

All is working fine but not the last notification that allows payment to be ok.

do I need a special paypal administration configuration?
do i need to modify the ezpaypalchecker.php
do I need to modify the ezpaymentcallbackchecker.php(I have modify ezpaymentgatewey for sending multiref basket)
what can I do with the "token"?

If someone can make it work thanx in advance.

It was just because of the paypal.ini.

you have to modify:
# field: "business"
# e-mail of receiver
[email protected]

(with:business=email adress of the business compte you have created.)

for having adress of your buyer:
change in ezpaypalgateway.php

$noShipping = '';
