TOPIC: PayPal with 2.7

We have to share our PayPal account with our parent organization and I wondering if there was a simple php hack I could do, possibly in the lib/payment/paypal.php file? I know that it was turned off with 2.7 because of the shopping cart, but if we could just put in the domain name as the item, the accounting people would be able to figure out what goes where.

Thanks for any ideas.

I too need this function. Blank Entries in paypal list do not help accounting people reconcile books easily.

I will be uninstalling 2.7 until this is fixed.

As stated in the 2.7.0f announcement, this change was done on purpose due to the addition of the cart system and registering for multiple events. When doing that, which event name would you send to paypal? Anyway, we are applying a fix for this now... you can expect it in the next build release... in the next day or two.

Thank you. I was able to Hack the paypal.php file with adding this line

$this->add_field('item_name', "SINGLEEVENNT NAME HERE");

---Since I am only registering one event at this time.

I look forward to a fix.

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing Chris. Upgrading has been painful lately so I was hoping to not have to do another upgrade. I only need the single line sent so accounting puts the money in the right buckets.
