CA Treasury question

New Member Joined: Dec 21, 2006 Posts: 5

Hi, anyone know whats happened with http://www.code-authors.com/ ? I purchased CA Treasury 1.2 in approx 2009/2010 and was looking around to see if maybe there was an update.

If its a dead project completely, anyone know of an up to date good PayPal module for RN 2.51.00 ?

Or will CA Treasury 1.2 work the new PayPal IPN changes that I received an email about last week?

I apologize if these have been answered before, I couldn't find anything on a quick search and have been "out of the loop" for a few years now.

Thanks for any info.

Haven't heard about IPN changes, but will need to look into that.

Thank you for the updated address!

I received and email last week from PayPal about changes to various parts of their service. This is the link to the IPN specific part:
https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1916&viewlocale=en_US

I am not very knowledgeable about the above, not sure how to check if the IPN "Postback" is using HTTPS or not.

Thanks again

Just a quick follow-up on this:
- the date is June 30, 2017, so you have a year to confirm
- there are 2 references to paypal.com in the old treasury module on which CA Treasury was built - one uses https and the other uses port 80 (i.e. http).

The payment uses https, but the posting of the payment (the listener) uses port 80.

The listener code is in modules/Donations/ipn/ipnppd.php:

Code:

$fp = fsockopen ('www.paypal.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);





if (!$fp) {


   // HTTP ERROR


   dprt("FAILED to connect to PayPal", _ERR);


   die();


}

Based on Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!I believe it should be:

Code:

$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);





if (!$fp) {


   // HTTP ERROR


   dprt("FAILED to connect to PayPal", _ERR);


   die();


}

Thank you, I made that change and had someone send me a test donation and it appeared normally, so I assume its working. Dont know how to test other than that.

Thanks again

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!!
Although I have much less time to devote to PHP than I used to, I will certainly investigate this change to the way PayPal is using it's IPN and see if there is anything else that needs to be changed.
Thank you kguske for the fix!
Even if it isn't required, I should also add an option to send the data to PayPal via HTTPS for those that need it and have a valid SSL Certificate.
