Hello,

I am running a directory using the pro version of 2.0 and have a weird problem that I am unable to fix. When I get a submission to the directory and PayPal send me an email alerting me of payment the description in the PayPal email is always something like 5xy6tt288hhwww9cdxxx89dnsks$5. This makes it impossible to see which link they submitted. How can this be fixed?

Find this link

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Sponsored Link - <?php echo $link['url'];?>" />


in Plugins/paypal/pre_paypal.php

change to

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Sponsored Link - on YourURL.com - <?php echo $link['url'];?>" />

Change yourURL to your site info you like to identify your site.
<<< I just found this on another forum and - using my site URL >>>

Should be changed in the next verion to load the site url

Hey that's clever Sai, I haven't got that one, must try it, I have editor id instead. Thanks for the clue though :good:

This is something I was requesting since I got my eSyndicat license.
on my sites, I used to have free one or sponsored at $9.00

Later changed to 16, 15, 14, 13, 12 etc on my sites so, I know which site.
