Adding a PayPal Hosted Button ID Feature for IPBE MarketPlace v3.0.7

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:22:47 +0000

This tutorial will show you how you can add support for a PayPal hosted button ID. A PayPal hosted button ID is a feature from PayPal that allows you to setup recurring billing such as a Subscription for a Support Package; having a regular button that(buy now, pay now), when added, it could apply tax percentages that you setup through your PayPal account.

[size="3"][color="#FF0000"][u][i][b]First And Foremost: Please Remember To Make A Backup Of Your Files Before Editing!![/b][/i][/u][/color][/size]

Step 1: OK, first off, we'll need to add two(2) new Rows to your items and Member Profile sections in the MarketPlace. The member section allows your members to choose if they want to use the button id, or just use their email as normal for selling items in your MarketPlace.
Go to ACP -> Support tab -> SQL Toolbox, run the following Query to add the necessary rows:
[sql]
ALTER TABLE `ibf_markets_items` ADD `buttonid` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL AFTER `price`;
ALTER TABLE `ibf_markets_members` ADD `business_type` VARCHAR( 15 ) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT 'email' AFTER `memail`;
[/sql]

Step 2: File Edits. For this next step, we'll need to edit 3 files to accomplish this task.

PayPal Hosted Button ID
This is so payments are made as a "Purchase Payment" and not a "Personal Payment" which PayPal takes out fees.

[/code]

Template Edit #2: Go to ACP -> Look & Feel -> Select Skin -> skin_markets_member -> BusinessProfile,
[color="#008000"][b][i][u]Find[/u][/i][/b][/color]:
[code]

{$this->lang->words['business']}

{$this->lang->words['business_desc']}

[/code]

[color="#FF0000"][b][i][u]Add Above[/u][/i][/b][/color]:
[code]

Business Type

Please choose if you would like to use your PayPal Email address defined below or with a paypal Hosted Button ID?
PayPal Email address is for all items you sell.
PayPal Hosted Button ID is a "Per-Item" setting and must be defined individually when adding items for sell.

[/code]

Once you have done all of the following instructions, you should now have the ability of switching from your Email Address to a PayPal Hosted Button ID.

If you have questions or concerns about this tutorial, please post your comments and I'll try to help you with this.

Enable mod_rewrite in xampp

Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:05:11 +0000

To Enable FURL on your local installation you should enable the mod_rewrite 1st.
This tutorial will walk you through the required edits for it to work properly.
Go to the directory of installation : \apache\conf and edit httpd.conf.
Find
[code]
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
[/code]

Change it to:
[code]
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
[/code]

Then find (twice of 3 times depending on your xampp version):

[code]
AllowOverride None
[/code]

Change it to:

[code]
AllowOverride All
[/code]

Reboot your system
and that should be it

Delete Member's Status

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:48:50 +0000

I got this this Idea from a spammer on my site!
So thanks goes to him rofl!

Right this tut will allow moderators/admins to delete member's status. I couldnt find a way to do it in ACP or Public end
so had to code it

Upload This file to

admins/applications/member/modules_public/profile/
[url="http://ipbegypt.com/stuff/modstatus.php"][b]RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE AS[/b][/url]

Then goto ACP> Look & Feel > Skin name > Board Index > hookBoardIndexStatusUpdates

Find
[code]

[/code]

Add after
[code]

member->form_hash}&rurl={parse expression="base64_encode('act=idx')"}" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['delete_comment_text']}'>
settings['img_url']}/delete.png' alt='{$this->lang->words['delete_comment_text']}' title='{$this->lang->words['delete_comment_text']}' />

[/code]

Change Allowed File Extensions in Market Place

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:17:54 +0000

With FTP
Goto > admin > applications_addon > other > markets > public_module > markets > items.php

Find (TWICE)
[code]
$file->allowed_file_ext = array( 'zip', 'rar' );
[/code]

Now you can add the extensions you want for example
If you want to add 'exe' extension
the code should look like this

[code]
$file->allowed_file_ext = array( 'zip', 'rar', 'exe');
[/code]

Make sure not to for get to add the comma before your new extension [color="#FF0000"][b], 'exe'[/b][/color]
