Since PayPal upgraded their servers (SSL stuff) mid to late September 2016, my PrestaShop v 1.6.1.7 has been continually experiencing problems working with PayPal. I've got the latest PayPal USA module, v 1.3.9, installed, but continue to experience a lot of different issues: PayPal Express doesn't work in any browser - it generates a 10040 PayPal error. PayPal Standard is flaky in Google Chrome, most of the time just showing a blank white screen. In the very latest version of Chrome it now says, "The www.paypal.com page isn't working. www.paypal.com is currently unable to handle your request. HTTP Error 502." In Firefox and Internet Explorer, PayPal Standard works somewhat. The payment goes through to PayPal, but when then the customer is returned to the Order History page - showing no new order - with the items are still in their cart giving the customer the impression no order was placed. PrestaShop doesn't get any info back from PayPal. No order is generated. My next step is to upgrade to PayPal Advanced Payments or PayPal Payments Standard and use the PayFlow gateway, but I'm not convinced that's going to fix the problems. PayPal not working in Chrome looks like it's going to be an ongoing problem. PayPal Tech Support don't even have Chrome installed on their workstations to help you troubleshoot the problem. Before their server upgrades, PayPal was working perfectly. Can anyone shed some light? Anyone else having problems.

Wow! I just solved this myself. I'm using PrestaShop 1.6.1.6. I added the following line in AdminSearchController.php (found in controllers/admin/): 'quantity' => array('title' => $this->l('Quantity'), 'align' => 'right', 'width' => '20'), so the function now looks like this: protected function initProductList() { $this->show_toolbar = false; $this->fields_list['products'] = array( 'id_product' => array('title' => $this->l('ID'), 'width' => 25), 'manufacturer_name' => array('title' => $this->l('Manufacturer'), 'align' => 'center', 'width' => 200), 'reference' => array('title' => $this->l('Reference'), 'align' => 'center', 'width' => 150), 'name' => array('title' => $this->l('Name'), 'width' => 'auto'), 'quantity' => array('title' => $this->l('Quantity'), 'align' => 'right', 'width' => '20'), 'price_tax_excl' => array('title' => $this->l('Price (tax excl.)'), 'align' => 'right', 'type' => 'price', 'width' => 60), 'price_tax_incl' => array('title' => $this->l('Price (tax incl.)'), 'align' => 'right', 'type' => 'price', 'width' => 60), 'active' => array('title' => $this->l('Active'), 'width' => 70, 'active' => 'status', 'align' => 'center', 'type' => 'bool') ); } Maybe someone else will find this useful.

I need to be able to expand the BO search facility to return the products' stock in the search results. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I discovered that if I upload (via the category edit interface) a category cover image at the same time I upload the 125x125 category thumbnail image, PrestaShop will display both of them. If I delete the category cover image, PrestaShop deletes the thumbnail image, too. If I upload just the category thumbnail, it shows the thumb in the back office like it's there, but will not display it in the front office. Very weird. I haven't figured out what the menu thumbnail is for yet. But uploading one doesn't seem to make a difference anywhere. This definitely seems to be a bug. I don't want to make a category cover image for each category. I just want to use category thumbnails for my subcategories, but can't seem to get it to work.

I discovered a bug in the Theme Configurator today. When I add/hook an image in the footer section, all of the links in the footer stop working. If I remove the image the links magically work again. The links are from the following modules hooked in the footer: Categories Block CMS Block Contact Information Block All footer links stop working as soon as I add an image to the footer through the Theme Configurator. I'm using the default theme (a copy of it, but haven't made any changes thus far). http://friendlyavenueshop.com I can't figure out where the code is that's generated by the Theme Configurator. I checked the above-mentioned blocks tpl files, but can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions of where else to look would be appreciated.

I have the same problem. But the trigger that's disables the links in the footer is adding an image to the footer with the Theme Configurator. If I remove the image hooked to the footer in the Theme Configurator, the links work fine. When I put it back in, they stop working.

I don't want to turn off stock notifications for everyone, just the single one a customer is getting erroneously. Thanks for responding, though.

How do I disable the email a customer gets telling them an item is back in stock? I'm using PrestaShop 1.4.3 with the Mail Alert 2.2 module. One of my customers keeps receiving an email from us notifying her that an item is back in stock. Apparently she utilized the Product Availability tool to be notified when an item was back in stock. She purchased the item from us after it came back in stock, but is still getting the emails that it's back in stock. I've looked everywhere in the Back End and can't find anyplace to turn off the notification. Any idea where it is in the database? I don't want to turn off the entire Product Availability module, just remove fix the one for one product and one customer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Nate, Not sure if this is any help in answering your question, but I spoke to someone at PayPal today. I asked what the difference between PayPal Payments Advanced and Payments Pro was. She told me that PayPal Payments Advanced utilizes an iframe. So it looks more seamless with your web site, but the iframe is pulling content from/connecting to PayPal. Thus you don't have to worry about PCI compliance: that's PayPal's job. Tina

Thanks, Rogermac, for posting your work around. Deleting the cache files also worked for me. Wish I knew what the answer to the problem is. I thank you for the work around, though. Tina

I'm having the same problem with new categories not appearing in the Categories Block. They do show up in the site map, though. It is not a cache problem, I've checked that. Also, when I changed the name of two categories: the change appears everywhere, but not in the Categories Block. I've tried: 1. Resetting the Categories Block in modules (as someone suggested in another post). 2. Disabling and re-enabling the Categories Block. 3. Deleting and reinstalling the Categories Block. Any other ideas? Here's the site: www.herebebooks.com/onlinestore The new category is Imported Games. You can see it in the Site Map. The categories whose names I changed are OOP Board Games and OOP Roleplaying Games (subcategories of Out-of-Print Games). You can see they show correctly everywhere but in the Categories Block. Not sure what else to try.

Seems that passwords in PrestaShop have to be at least 8 characters long and cannot contain special characters. Try entering a password at least 8 characters long. If that doesn't work, log out of PrestaShop's back office admin panel, clear the cookies for that site in your browser, log in with the original password and try changing it again. I don't know if you have to clear the cookies, but this combination worked for me.

Ok, I'm answering my own question, here's what you need to do: In PayPal, go to MyAccount >> Profile Click on Set Up Shipping Calculations under Selling Preferences (If you already have some, it will be called Shipping Calculations) Click Start Choose Regions (I used All States & Territories) Choose Shipping Method Name (I chose Priority) Choose Shipping Delivery Time (I chose 2 to 3 business days) Choose Shipping Based On (I chose Total Order Weight) Set up Shipping Rates table (I entered only 1 line: From 0.01, To and up, Rate 0.0) Click Continue Make sure Yes is checked for "Use the shipping fee in the transaction instead of my calculator's settings" Voila! It now works. If you go back and edit the Shipping Method, it will look like the attached screen shot. If you already have Shipping Calculations, you'll probably have to delete all but one, then set up a Free shipping as above. Hope this saves someone from pulling her hair out. Now if I can just get Google Checkout to send order processing data back to PrestaShop... but that's another topic: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/17558/ :-)

I'm using PrestaShop 1.2, have installed an SSL certificate and added the appropriate link to Google Checkout: https://www.herebebooks.com/modules/gcheckout/validation.php When I process an order I have the same result as Paul: Google Checkout doesn't pass back the details of the transaction, so to the customer it looks like the order was never placed (if they return to my store after Google Checkout or look in their Order History at my store). Also, the order is not recorded in PrestaShop. My googleerror.log looks similar to Paul's even though googlemessage.log contains the order details. I think I've covered all the bases: CHMOD 777 on both log files and enabled SSL in Back Office >> Preferences Anyone had any luck getting this to work properly in 1.2? Tina

The Wiki says: In Profile >> Selling Preferences >> Website Payment Preferences, set: * In Shipping Calculations, mark the Click here to allow transaction-based shipping values to override the profile shipping settings listed above checkbox. However, there is no such option (Click here to allow transaction-based shipping values to override...) in my PayPal account. (See screen shot.) I looked under Profile >> Selling Preferences >> Shipping Calculations, but this forced me to set up shipping options in PayPal (see 2nd screen shot). I set up a free shipping option to see if once I got past the wizard I'd get the option described above in the Wiki, but no such luck (see last screen shot). I've looked through a bunch of other PayPal selling preferences, but can't find that option. Please advise.
