Paypal Logo

[PeterW]

I have successfully set up Paypal as a PSP (Thank you Pinbrook for your input on this(and eveyone else of course)).

Next step was to insert logos.

I have done this successfully (or so I think) and if people click on this it takes them to the Paypal site within a popup.

However, when you close the popup my site has turned into a blank screen with only the word [object] showing. I have tried this on a couple of machines with the same result and have tried altering the cookie handling to no avail.

Could anyone tell me where I may have gone wrong, assuming it is my fault. I will admit that I am not very good on the altering of the templates and my logo insertion has been a bit trial and error. (I have been careful not to delete any code).

Thank you

Hi,

Next step was to insert logos.

Did it work ok before inserting these logos?

If so, where did you insert the logos?

Actinic cannot really support this as you have changed the functionality of how the software works with Paypal (ie opening it in a popup window). I can only suggest that you switch it back to how it should work (unless Pinbrook have any ideas).

I placed the code supplied by paypal within the Act_Primary and Act_BrochurePrimary files so they appear on my home page and within the shop.

Everything displays fine, the site works well. The only thing that happens is when you click on the paypal logos, it takes you to the paypal site within a popup to explain what and who paypal is.

When you clear the popup, the screen has changed to [object]. If you click the back button it will go back to my site.

It has not altered how the site works, it is just annoying that it does this.
Maybe it is just how the paypal code works. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Peter,

I have done this successfully (or so I think) and if people click on this it takes them to the Paypal site within a popup.

Sorry, I thought this meant that they went through the payment process in the popup window.

Is there a URL that we can take a look at this problem?

Hello Tracey,

Sorry I didn't make it clearer first time, my site is www.aninvitationtotreat.co.uk.

A very simple design but proving effective.

Thank you Actinic and Thank you Tracey for giving me your time.

Hi,

I think this must be something to do with the javascript that you are using or the page you are linking to. I have tried it in a non-actinic page and it does exactly the same thing. Where did you get the code from?

[PeterW]

From Paypal \ Merchant Tools \ Online Logo Centre.

This is the code they provide:

<!-- PayPal Logo --><table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><a href="javascript:window.open('https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal','olcwhatispaypal','toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no', width='400', height='350');"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/vertical_solution_PP.gif" border="0" alt="Solution Graphics"></a></td></tr></table><!-- PayPal Logo -->

Could it be because the logo takes people to a secure server and my site is not secure?

Hi Peter,

To be honest, I don't know. If there are any other Actinic users using this code it would be nice to know if they had similar problems and how the got round it. In the meantime, I will try asking our development team for you in case they can see anything obvious.

[PeterW]

Like I said, its not really a problem - just annoying.
If anyone can come up with an answer it would be appreciated.
Maybe I will solve the problem as I learn more about code, the internet and everything. I can only become wiser

Thank you for your time.

Hi Peter,

Our development team have come amended the coding and it seems to work:

<!-- PayPal Logo --><table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tr><td align="center"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><A href="#" ONCLICK="window.open('https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr? cmd=xpt/popup/OLCWhatIsPayPal','olcwhatispaypal','toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no', width='400', height='350');"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/vertical_solution_PP.gif" border="0" alt="Solution Graphics"></a></td></tr></table><!-- PayPal Logo -->

I hope this helps.

Hi Tracey,

It works!!!

Surely I am not the only one who used the code from Paypal and had problems? There must be hundreds of sites that use their logos.

Ho hum.

Thank you for your help and thank the development team for me.
