I have spent the last few days trying to make the paypal credit card processor work for event registration. To no avail. Now it suddenly works, without me changing any thing. Paypal surreptitiously fixing some problems without saying so?

I  need   transaction logging to quickly pinpoint when problems crop up. The present situation is a nightmare for production support. I believe there must be some others in the same situation.

Who can give me some ideas on how to get debug logging of the communication exchange. The present debug is for development but cannot be used in a productive environment. I need something similar to what I am used to in my CMS where I can add debug logging per user session. This allows me to track down problems on a productive system without impeding others.

In the same line I need to register the creditcard invoice, similar to registering a payment reference number for online payment. The credit card invoice can be found in the CiviCRM.log, but this is not possible for production environment.

Thank you lobo

I see the credit card transaction id in the contribution record.

My question: Where and how can I get a pay-later ref-id placed in the trxn_id of the contribution record (currently null). This reference should be  made up of
- fixed prefix (e.g. Ref:)
- event_id
- user_id who registers
- CRC
All fields separated by '-'
