Paypal: item number, and instant log-in ?

Hello:

working on getting paypal integrated.

Two questions.

I added in the sign-up form a radio button selection field with several options. There is an internal value to each one of those fields( i.e. 1,2,3, or 4). I need this new field value to map to the paypal item number based on which one the user selected. Is there an easy way to do this ?

Seconf question -- once the user gets through paypal, is there a way to log them in automatically into the members-only section ? or must they enter in their new username & password again .

thanks.

in the paypal plugin I found this line:

'item_number' => $product_id,

So I'll try and edit that to my new field... any other place where I should be looking ?

thanks alex:

somehow I edited that line but it's coming in blank to paypal everytime. I verified that field name - anything else to check ?

and besides turning payapl into test mode, any way to see what the signup page is about to send to paypal before I actually complete a paypal transaction ?

the field is an added custom field and I used "common" not SQL as the method.

thanks.

sure

The line I changed was the second one:

PHP:

            'item_name'   => $product->config['title'],
            'item_number' => $membership_code,



And that membership_code is a new field I added which is a radio button. Basically, I could create new products, but would prefer to simply map this new membership_code field to the paypal item_number .

My suspicion, is that I need to add this new code into the array that is calling out the fields --- but I'm not sure ...

thanks.

thanks !

worked like a charm.
