TOPIC: DTDonate 2.1.2 donation submission issue

Hello: When a donation is processed, the user is immediately sent to the home page afterwards. There is no "thank you for your donation" page that the user is sent to. This is unacceptable as one doesn't really know if their donation went through or not. the "payform" form is designed to do this: <form name="payform" method="post" action="index.php"> The javascript: ( var frm= document.payform, ... frm.submit) doesn't attempt to change the action either. This makes the component user-unfriendly and unusable in its current state. I think the developer recognizes this, as in DTRegsiter there is a "thank you" after the user registers, they aren't just directed to the home page. If you can help with this please do, I'd rather not change the code to direct to my own thank you page (I don't have time to be fixing this component). Thank you Robert

DT Donate has the same exact "thank you" page functions that DT Register does.... and IT WORKS. Apparently you missed that part of the Settings area. If you are having issues with yours, you need to provide some helpful info such as which type of payment you were trying to do... auth.net... paypal? You do not need to fix the components. One, they already work. However, with different servers and different versions of PHP/MySQL, there are always issues that pop up. When you find issues, we fix them gladly.

The change I made to handle https and http broke the functionality-- I'll try to change your code to make it work so that I can move out of https gracefully and still display the thank you note. (Since you for some reason have the form target be "index.php" I move out of https at that point by redirecting which moves away from the thank you page.) I'm really sorry to bother you, you're right, it works out of the box. I don't want to mislead anyone out there-- your component works out of the box. That said, from the other thread on the DTDonate support forum clearly you're not in a real production environment where you have to deal with issues such as moving in and out of http/https. Thank you Robert

Everything we do is in a production environment AND with SSL in place. The component works both with or without SSL. Going back and forth within Joomla is NOT an easy task and everyone knows it takes some hacking around. We will work on putting together an official solution to this.

That's great to hear, thank you. It sounds like people have already come up with a decent solution to the http/https problem (in the thread below). Maybe you can make use of that. For anyone who cares, I created my problem in DTDonate with my http/https solution posted here: http://www.dthdevelopment.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,50/topic,100.0 I "fixed" my problem by changing dtdonate.php: all instances of:change to:This way, upon donation submission the user stays wthin dtdonate and thus doesn't trigger the redirect to get them out of https.

Hi,

I find that this tip is still relevant for DT Donate 2.1.4 , in conjunction with the trick of editing the index.php file in your template, redirecting to \"https:\" when com_dtdonate or com_dtregister are found in the uri.

Also, this is on Joomla 1.5, not 1.0
