PayPal Redirect Page Problem

Hi,

First let me say how awesome EShop is. Simple, responsive and easy to setup.

I am having an issue though. The PayPal Redirect page does have a notice to "Wait for Redirect" but it is just a line of text. I am loosing people during this page...as it takes about 10 seconds sometimes and some people think they are finished (not seeing the line of text asking them to wait). Could you tell me which file to edit to add an animated gif or something to make it more apparent to people that they need to wait? Or better yet, add this to the core code, so it doesn't get overwritten if/when i upgrade.

Hello Andrew,
You can edit to add anything that you want there to file components/com_eshop/plugins/payments/os_paypal.php
Please try to do and let me know if you are able to do.
If you need any helps on that, just let me know.
Sincerely, Giang

hmmm????


I just tried this and I do NOT see any line of code that I can change that says/looks like:

"Please wait while redirecting to Paypal for processing payment"

BTW, 10 seconds is way too long to simply get redirected to PayPal, there has to be a fix / better solution (while still using paypal) for this issue, please advise.

I too love the component... I think it's the easist E-Commerce component for Joomla (I can't wait to have a;l our customers ditch Virtuemart)

Thankk you in advance.

Try in components/com_eshop/plugins/payments/os_payment.php (line 513)

setTimeout('redirect()', 7000);

7000 = 7 seconds

Giang is not possibile to have an option in configuration to custom this value? Thanks

Hello Mike and Davide,

In the latest version of EShop, I changed that to 5 seconds.

Sincerely, Giang

Thanks Giang,

I am looking at os_paypal.php and I dont see a place to add it, or something that says "wait for redirect". I dont see any "html" just php. Thanks for any help.

Hello Andrew,

In the newer versions of EShop, you should find it in the file: libraries\omnipay\vendor\joomdonation\payment\src\AbstractPayment.php. Search for setTimeout function.

Hope that this is useful.
Sincerely, Giang

Thanks Giang,

I am still not able to get something showing....maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is the modified code in the AbstractPayment.php: (just a portion of the whole page, I added the line the includes the "PayPal_ProgressCircle.gif" )
But on the front-end I only see this during redirect:
