KWIKCHIP Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Hi I am new to the forum, I set my shop up many years ago now on v. 1.2.5.0 and it works great. However, due to the new PayPal upgrades I now have to upgrade my level of Prestashop. Question (apologies if this has been covered recently but cant find anything) but can I go from 1.2.5.0 to the latest version in one go? and if so is it a difficult process? If it is a problem is there any reputable consultants/engineers that can do the upgrade for me for a fee? My site is very simple www.kwikchip.net Thanks Dave Edited December 3, 2014 by KWIKCHIP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eolia Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 You mustn't upgrade your paypal module with Prestashop 1.2.5.0 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKCHIP Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi I know the current Paypal upgrade is not compatible with my 1.2.5.0 shop, but I need to upgrade my prestashop version as it now will not accept Paypal payments.

Eolia Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't understand ? Your Paypal's payments don't run ? Or you just want to update your shop and know if your Paypal module continues working ? If you upgrade your Prestashop, the module must be upgraded too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKCHIP Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi I had an email about a month ago (see copy below)saying that I will need to update my prestashop Paypal module in order for it to keep working. I didn't know if it was applicable to v1.2.5.0 so just ignored it....but yesterday a customer phoned to say they were having difficulty in paying with PayPal. I tried myself using my [spam-filter]'s Paypal account to place an order through my shop and again it would not work. I then tried to upgrade Paypal module in my shop but nothing happens....so I assume I will have to upgrade my prestashop version in order to apply the Paypal updates. Am I thinking wrong? Thanks Dave Since the SSL v3 issue (also known as POODLE) was identified on October 14, PayPal has decided to completely disable SSL 3.0 support at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on December 3, 2014. POODLE is an internet security vulnerability that impacts the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 protocol, which was designed to ensure secure connections when surfing on the Internet. As a consequence all PayPal merchant customers using PrestaShop need to update their PayPal integration by upgrading their PayPal module on PrestaShop before December 3rd, 2014 in order to disable SSL 3.0 for their client interactions. If you do not upgrade your PayPal module on PrestaShop by this date, you may face interruptions to your ability to accept payments with PayPal. To make sure your integration is protected against this vulnerability and to keep accepting PayPal payments beyond this date, you need to upgrade your PayPal module to version 3.8.0 by following these steps: Users of version 1.5 and 1.6 of PrestaShop Go to PrestaShop back office in the list of modules installed Click on the « Update it » button next to PayPal module If this button doesn’t appear, please follow the same steps as the ones described below for “users of version 1.4 de PrestaShop” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eolia Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Your Paypal module not force the ssl protocol to v3, so your bug is not a ssl issue. (native ssl1 used) An error message when you try to pay with Paypal ? on fo or in the customer order (message) in the bo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuk66 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Exactly, I think all PayPal module versions in PS 1.3 and older don't need upgrade. They are not affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKCHIP Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi Guys Thanks for all your help....fast too. Just went into settings and notice PayPal module had somehow got into sandbox mode, removed this and all seems to be working. It must have been a complete coincidence with my customer yesterday. So I guess this issue is now solved...but finally... is it difficult to upgrade from 1.2.5.0 to latest? Thanks Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eolia Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 and the upgrade to the latest is not a good idea... (too many bugs) 1.5.6.2 is the best and more stable 1.5 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWIKCHIP Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 OK...will think about it over the Christmas break. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 and the upgrade to the latest is not a good idea... (too many bugs) 1.5.6.2 is the best and more stable 1.5 version. fyi..just to add my two cents... 1.5 is not good choice to upgrade, it's slow, though as you stated pretty stable. 1609 is good choice, we have upgraded several customers and they are 'very happy'. IHowever (caveat time) waiting for 1.6(stable)...is a good choice...I have seen just some of new features..it is going to rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eolia Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 We are in a free world The 1.6.0.8 version was not to bad but the latest add some new bugs. I'm waiting the 1.6.2 or 3 to modify anything. Remember 1.4 versions, the first really stable was the 1.4.7 A little search on the forum with keywords "bug"& "1.6" show the pb... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get excited because PS developers are always doing work to make better...I was a little turned off with 1.5 but I saw they were building better frame work...we now are starting to realize this in 1.6. and I wish the entire world was free...someday happy selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
