CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I'm using Drupal with CiviCRM 1.9

From my understanding I should be able to perform contributions and membership sign up in test mode.

I've successfully created an online contribution page for membership and double checked against this page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Configure+Online+Contribution+Pages+for+Membership+Signup+and+Renewal

I made a test payment through Paypal.
I've searched for the contribution by name and email in Civicontribute but can't locate it.
No record for membership has been created.
What am I missing?

I ran a live payment through and the contribution appears ok but no membership record has been created.

I've been through this over and over so need your help now?

Contributions and membership signups which are made in "test-drive" mode are assigned a "test" flag and are only viewable by using Find Contributions or Find Memberships with the "Find Test Contributions" or "Find Test Memberships" field checked. So that MIGHT be part of the issue.

Also, if you're using PayPal Standard - the transactions might not be completed if things aren't configured properly in your PayPal account and/or if your site is not accessible on the 'net (since PayPal has to "call back" to CiviCRM to confirm that the transaction was completed). You can research this by looking in the CiviCRM.log file which is located in the civicrm/upload directory under your configured Drupal files directory.
