Gift notification - not working

My organization is not getting notifications when someone enters in names/addresses to the "whom should be notified of this gift" section when they are making a donation. We use paypal as our gateway. Does the "whom should be notified" information get transferred to the paypal transaction in "notes" or something? Here is our system info:

Thanks so much for this plugin and your help.

Hi

It seems you created custom field "whom should be notified" and add it to donation form. However, Joom Donation doesn't know about that field and It also doesn't pass these information to Paypal. The information just stored in backend and you can see it when you view detail information of the donation record .

Hope my explanation is clear to you !

what would be the best way to make sure that information translates to paypal?

Hi

If you want to pass that information to Paypal, the only way is that you modify the Paypal payment plugin. The file you need to modify is components/com_jdonation/payments/os_paypal.php . Looks at the code at line 104 :

You can change it to something like that :

Please note that you need to replace name_of_the_field with the actual name of "whom should be notified" .

Hope that give you some clue !
