More descriptive Paypal description

    We have a few different conferences going right now and the Paypal transactions are intermingled. Our financial person wanted a list of all the transactions to balance the checkbook, but the descriptions were pretty vague. Is there any way you can attach the form name to the Paypal transaction details?

    You can edit the "includes/post-functions.php" file. Search around line 3851 for this code:

    $paypal_params['item_name_'.$i] = $item_name;
    $paypal_params['amount_'.$i] 	  = $amount;
    $paypal_params['quantity_'.$i]  = $quantity;

    Basically you only need to adjust the $item_name above.

    Something like this:

    if($form_id == 23){
      $item_name .= "My Form Title";
    }
    $paypal_params['item_name_'.$i] = $item_name;
    $paypal_params['amount_'.$i] 	  = $amount;
    $paypal_params['quantity_'.$i]  = $quantity;

    That would add "My Form Title" at the end of the item name.

    Is there a way to always add the form title to the item name? like this:

    $item_name .= " - ".$form_name;
    $paypal_params['item_name_'.$i] = $item_name;
    $paypal_params['amount_'.$i] 	  = $amount;
    $paypal_params['quantity_'.$i]  = $quantity;

    You can add the query to get the form name above that block of code. Something like this:

    $query = "select form_name from ".MF_TABLE_PREFIX."forms where form_id = ?";
    $params = array($form_id);
    
    $sth = mf_do_query($query,$params,$dbh);
    $row = mf_do_fetch_result($sth);
    $form_name = $row['form_name'];
    
    $item_name .= " - ".$form_name; $paypal_params['item_name_'.$i] = $item_name; $paypal_params['amount_'.$i] = $amount; $paypal_params['quantity_'.$i] = $quantity;
