Joom Donation Paypal IPN issue solved

Hello all. I have been working on this for days and finally found a solution, so I figured I'd share it. My problem was that the transaction for the donation through Joom Donation was being completed on paypal's end but was not being completed on the website. No emails being sent to donor and administrator, no paypal transaction number, no donor being published.

Solution: My campaign name had an apostrophe in it. I noticed that it was causing a problem when I looked at the ipn_logs.txt file. I took the apostrophe out and everything is good.

The developer did nothing wrong here as far as I could see. The \ was there to escape the character.

Hope this helps some.

Interesting. I also have a campaign with an apostrophe, and it seems to be working fine so far. :whistle:
