I should probably slap myself in the head and holler "DOH!" about where the money goes if I use the production-paypal link for testing -- of course, it goes to me! I'm such a doofus sometimes.  Thanks for pointing that out so my doofus status is somewhat relieved.  And since I prefer to use paypal-standard anyway, no great loss on giving SSL/google-checkout a miss -- paypal's trustworthy rep is well deserved, and if more people used it exclusively, I'm thinking there'd be a lot less of this identity theft nonsense.  However every bit of your rant RE: paypal is right on target -- at least, the parts I could understand (the non-programming bits -- I really wouldn't know an API if it bit me someplace uncomfortable).  It's too bad there is really no developer/webmaster-support for such an otherwise-excellent product, but maybe if more of us make enough noise about it, they'll fix it -- hey, it worked with Alltel.

I'm working with the WebStore bit of Mojo now, and I'm pondering the Primary Sort Rank and Secondary Sort Rank, but, strangely, there aren't any of those handy "help" graphics to explain what that's about, and the only docs about the store seem to be about setting up the ecommerce stuff.

Thx!

Well, for an alpha, it's remarkable -- none of that "internal server error" stuff happens, nor any other errors that I've seen, which is really outstanding for a pre-production release.  I don't really need the sorting thing at this point anyway, I haven't that much to add to the Webstore.  I was just surprised at the lack of the blue question marks, since so much of the rest does have that very nifty feature.

I was thinking just yesterday, while working on a reorganization of my site, how absolutely spectacular this program is -- it does so many things, and does them so well, and so transparently.  After 2+ yrs of working with Joomla!, I figured I had that stuff right down pat, but this is even easier, after just a few weeks of working with it.  You, and whoever else had a hand in its creation, have built a truly marvelous piece of software.  Hats off, 2 thumbs up, etc etc.

I'm also wondering if there are other open source applications for it, other than the vast array included in the installation already?  I'd be really interested to see what kinds of things people (enterprising geeks) have come up with, to work with Mojo.

I'm just about to start testing the Paypal stuff (and yes, procrastinating; what better way than to visit a forum or two), and setting up the store stuff was just as easy as the rest of it -- I guess I can see what you mean about it not being a fully-realized application yet, because obviously it has potential far beyond what it does already -- but what it does already, it does beautifully.  Definitely the easiest store-thing I've ever setup. 

Thx!

Hi, I need help because I either going blind and I can see, or Paypal has changed.

When I went to paypal, I did not see the [Web Site Preferences] 4 in the instructions:

1. Login to paypal

2. click the [My account] tab

3. click the [Profile] tab

4. click the [Web site payment preferences] link

5. click the payment data transfer on button

6 make sure Auto Return is turned on

7. Click Save

8. The next screen returns a long PDT ID. Copy and paste the PDT ID into DashCommerce under the payment and configuration screen.
 

Thanks
