Automatic redirect

Hi,

Is it possible to configure JoomDonation in that way, that the donator is automatically redirected to the "Donation Completed"-site after a successful donation via PayPal?

Currently the donator has to activate the redirect manually.

Thanks, Alex

Hi,

any hints with this topic?

Thanks, Alex

I found some adjustments on the paypal site. There one can activate or deactivate the automatic redirect. But one has to enter a redirect URL - see attachement.

It would be greate, if there could be support for that issue.

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex

You can turn on Auto-redirect option within your Paypal account. The auto redirect url will be :

http://yoursite_domain/index.php?option=com_jdonation&view=complete (replace your site domain with the real url) .

However, there is one limitation here. Since the auto redirect url need to be fixed, we could not display anything related to the donation record . You cannot use any tags : [FIRST_NAME], [LAST_NAME], [DONATION_DETAIL]... in the message . You can just display a general thank you message to all donors .

Hope my explanation is clear to you .

Thanks,

Tuan

Does this mean, that my request in this post ( Implementing an Affiliate TrackingCode ) is also not possible?

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex

You can still adding the tracking code into the Thank you message or insert it directly into the file components/com_jdonation/views/complete/tmpl/default.php .

Hi Tuan,

The tracking code looks like this: As you can see, there are four placeholders which has to be replaced with real variables:
PRID - this is a system ID number, which is provided by the affiliate programm provider
BESCHREIBUNG - this is just a description
BESTID - this is the order number or donation number (or maybe the Transaction ID) - MUST
PREIS - this is the price or donated amount - MUST

Which variables do JoomDonation use for the two MUST variables? So I can insert them into the tracking code.

Thanks a lot, Alex
