I just typed wrong the variable name. Instead of <strong>item_name1</strong> is <strong>item_name_1</strong>.</p> <p>Now the code look like this:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_paypal_query&#39;, &#39;update_paypal_query&#39;, 10, 3); function update_paypal_query($query_string, $form, $entry) { parse_str($query_string, $query); $query[&#39;item_name_1&#39;] = get_the_title($entry[13]); $query_string = http_build_query($query, &#39;&#39;, &#39;&amp;&#39;); return &#39;&amp;&#39; . $query_string; }</code></pre> <p>Now I run into another issue, the charset doesn't match. The special characters are displaying messed up in description of order summary.</p> <p>I added the title of post to query string variable <strong>item_name_1</strong> (line 5), but when the title has special characters (like à á â ã) so this are not displaying correctly in description of order summary.</p> <p>I already tried the functions: <strong>utf8_encode()</strong>, <strong>esc_attr(strip_tags())</strong>, <strong>iconv()</strong> and urlencode() but have not had success yet. In fact the urlencode() was not necessary.</p> <p>I've also checked the default character encoding settings in PayPal, was Windows-1252 and I changed to UTF-8.</p> <p>Anyone has any thoughts? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-data-to-order-symmary-paypal-via-gform_paypal_quer-hook#post-80590 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:01:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 80590@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please let us know if you need more help. Writing the $query_string to a log file is a fine way to do it, if you can't echo it to the screen. At least you would know what it contains at that point. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-data-to-order-symmary-paypal-via-gform_paypal_quer-hook#post-80300 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:25:38 +0000 brubrant2 80300@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris, thanks for your fast reply :)</p> <p>Also thanks for the tip about urlencode() function.</p> <p>I realized that the variable <strong>item_namex</strong> that holds the main description of transaction, in this case <strong>Preço por cota</strong> as we can see in attached image above and within IPN message <strong>&amp;item_name1=Preço por cota</strong>.</p> <p>Now I'm trying to understand how GF PayPal Add-on handle this variable in <strong>gravityformspaypal/paypal.php</strong>.</p> <p>Also I could not echo the <code>$query_string</code> before it's returned from my function because the <code>gform_paypal_query</code> hook is fired immediately before the user is redirected to PayPal. So I'll try to print the <code>$query_string</code> in a text file.</p> <p>I changed my code but have not had success.</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_paypal_query&#39;, &#39;update_paypal_query&#39;, 10, 3); function update_paypal_query($query_string, $form, $entry) { //put PayPal querystring into an array parse_str($query_string, $query); $descricao = &quot;$entry[12] cotas reembols&amp;aacute;veis para o evento $entry[13]&quot;; $query[&#39;item_name1&#39;] = urlencode($descricao); $query_string = http_build_query($query, &#39;&#39;, &#39;&amp;&#39;); print_r($query_string); return &#39;&amp;&#39; . $query_string; }</code></pre> <p>When I have some progress I post here.</p> <p>Cheers </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-data-to-order-symmary-paypal-via-gform_paypal_quer-hook#post-80193 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 19:15:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 80193@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you echo the $query_string before it's returned from your function to be sure everything is present as you expect it? You may have to urlencode this <strong>"entry[12] cotas reembols&aacute;veis para o evento $entry[13]"</strong> or something like that. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/extra-data-to-order-symmary-paypal-via-gform_paypal_quer-hook#post-80181 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:50:23 +0000 brubrant2 80181@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Anyone know if is there possible to add extra data to order summary of paypal?</p> <p>Order Summary <a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img32/9984/paywithapaypalaccountpa.png" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/a/img32/9984/paywithapaypalaccountpa.png</a></p> <p>I tried to send <code>transaction_subject</code> variable through <code>gform_paypal_query</code> but does not work.</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&#39;gform_paypal_query&#39;, &#39;update_paypal_query&#39;, 10, 3); function update_paypal_query($query_string, $form, $entry){ //put PayPal querystring into an array parse_str($query_string, $query); $query[&#39;transaction_subject&#39;] = &quot;$entry[12] cotas reembols&amp;aacute;veis para o evento $entry[13]&quot;; $query_string = http_build_query($query, &#39;&#39;, &#39;&amp;&#39;); return &#39;&amp;&#39; . $query_string; }</code></pre> <p>References:</p> <p><a href="https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=developer/e_howto_admin_IPNIntro" rel="nofollow">https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&amp;content_ID=developer/e_howto_admin_IPNIntro</a></p> <p><a href="https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/developer/PP_WebsitePaymentsStandard_IntegrationGuide.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/developer/PP_WebsitePaymentsStandard_IntegrationGuide.pdf</a></p> <p>Any thoughts will be apreciated, thanks all! </p>
