Please help,

I have setup a not for profit organization website which takes annual and month-to-month contribution memberships. The annual membership contributions seem to be working fine, however, the month-to-month membership contributions require an Automatic Recurring Billing scenario and are not processing through the payment processor. Users can create a Joomla account and contact data is retained, but, no contribution or membership is recorded. I am using Joomla 2.5.6 and CiviCRM 4.1.2 and our payment processor is Authorize.net with ARB paid for and enabled. I have setup the Authorize.net account and processor in CiviCRM as the documentation states. Please can anyone shed some light on how to get Automatic Recurring Billing to work with my month-to-month membership types. I really need this to work.

Thanks in advance.

I am using Joomla 2.5.6 and CiviCRM 4.1.2 and our payment processor is Authorize.net with ARB paid for and enabled.

Have you configured the Silent post url within Authorize.net?

This is the Error I get when I try a test Month-to-Month Membership Type with Automatic Recurring Billing:

 Payment Processor Error message: E00003: The 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:name' element is invalid - The value 'Online Contribution: AIRASE ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIPS' is invalid according to its datatype 'String' - The actual length is greater than the MaxLength value.

Can anyone shed some light about this error. I have just updated to the most current version of CiviCRM, 4.1.5 and am using Joomla 2.5.6.

Thanks in advance.

The fix is present in v4.2+ (not in v4.1).

Could you apply this fix & see if it solves your problem:
