gonebdg - webindoshop.com Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 PayPal Europe module v.3.6.8 is working well. Tested on Prestashop v.1.6.0.6 with PayPal Sandbox mode. upload > install > configure > order > checkout ... no problem occurred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It's gotta be caused by this if (!Validate::isModuleName($module_name)) { if (_PS_MODE_DEV_) die(Tools::displayError(Tools::safeOutput($module_name).' is not a valid module name.')); return false; } the method public static function isModuleName($module_name) { return (is_string($module_name) && preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/', $module_name)); } You can try and debug that. Classes/Module.php, at the beginning of getInstanceByName, add var_dump($module_name); Then reach the page where the issue pops out and see the list of all modules listed. Look for paypal, or blank entries, or perhaps post a screenshot of the whole list, if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torben Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I do have PayPal in BO > Modules I can't install it - I'm getting this error: The module paypal that you uploaded is not a valid module. I downloaded a new version, uploaded - still the same I looked for the module by ftp in modules - but no PayPal. There lots of others e.g. Bankwire What can I do?

NemoPS Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 uh, well you don't have it there because it's not hosted on the site by default. Download the zip, extract it and manually add the folder via ftp, see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L E O Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hello Nemo1, could you give more detail about this operation please : "...manually add the folder via ftp" ? In my ZIP file (v3.7.1-PayPal Europe - Official.zip), I have a main folder called paypal wich contains several folders and files. Where do I copy all this ? I would like to make a manual installation because automatic installation gives this : "The module paypal that you uploaded is not a valid module" Thanks for your help.

L E O Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've resolved the issue by copying paypal folder from zip to /modules and then reset the module from BO. Topic SOLVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
