Changing the 'Description' sent to Paypal
August 12, 2011, 05:12:03 am
Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can change what is sent into Paypal as the description?

I want to add some text and the value of a custom field checkbox from a contribution so it shows up in the description text - any pointers would be welcomed!

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

I've begun constructing my Joomla plugin to implement this hook but I already feel a bit out of my depth in terms of working out how to find the parameter values to do what I want. Sorry still a newb here.

Scenario is:

I want to inject some text and a custom field value (from contribution record) into the description for all transaction made from a contribution page.

How do I work out/find which $paymentObj values to test for, which params to update? Also, I suspect I need to use the API to get the custom field values but I'm just a bit lost.

Any help would be much appreciated,

I'm trying to get debugging setup locally so I can start to inspect the params any docs about how best to do this?

Cheers,

Dave
