  • Paypal does not work with Magento Affinity Template

    Posted 12 years 1 month ago
    • I have a Mage installation with 5 sites and have installed the paypal module.
      I can get paypall to work on 3 sites without affinity template but two sites with the template do not complete the paypal process
      You can log through the checkout to paypal but on pressing accept in paypal it returns to a badly formed page and the purchase does not complete
      Does anybody know of this issue and more importantly have a fix.
      I am happy to pay for any works done to make the two sites work
      Thanks
      Mitch

    • PayPal comes as default payment method with Magento, and as such works fine with our templates. I myself am using it. If you installed some additional PayPal module however, perhaps you need to copy the files added into either the base or affinity folder?

      Many extension developers unfortunately add their files to the "default" package (app/design/frontend/default) as opposed to the "base" package, which makes them inaccessible to any theme that uses it's own package, such as ours (app/design/frontend/THEME).

      So usually, to get them working, you need to copy any files the extension adds, from the default to the base or the theme package. So for example, if you have the following added:

      app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/extension-name/extension-name.xml
      app/design/frontend/default/default/template/extension-name/extension-name.phtml
      skin/frontend/default/default/extension-name/extension-name.css

      These should be copied to:

      app/design/frontend/THEME/default/layout/extension-name/extension-name.xml
      app/design/frontend/THEME/default/template/extension-name/extension-name.phtml
      skin/frontend/THEME/default/extension-name/extension-name.css
