PayPal button encryption not working

[keystone]

HI Folks...
I have set up encryption on my PayPal buttons...downloaded all the API information, ticked the right boxes both In S2 and PayPal. However when I produce the PayPal button and try to test it Paypal advises that they only use encrypted buttons and won't let me in. Can you tell me what I am missing at all?

Could you please show us the shortcode for your button?

[s2Member-PayPal-Button level="1" ccaps="" desc="Premium Membership" ps="paypal" cc="USD" ns="1" custom="fbweightloss.mysite.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="7.00" rp="1" rt="M" rr="1" image="default" output="button" /]

The mysite.com does have my correct url in it I just didn't want to post it on the forum...

I am also having an issue with the "open my button in another window" info from the forum which advises how to open a button in another window. If I follow the instructions, at the very least, should the word "checkout" not appear on my site with the paypal button link? Then I attach this to a button picture?

When I check my page most of the code is showing

Be sure to have two decimal spaces in your amounts (e.g. 0.00) and see if that helps with the encryption. viewtopic.php?f=4&p=8670#p8671

Could you post the URL to those instructions?

Thanks for that...but I think in the code I pasted the $7.00 does have two decimal places?

[Cristián Lávaque]

Yes, but the ta (trial amount) is 0, change it to 0.00.

Regarding opening in a new window, that works if you write the HTML for the anchor yourself and add target="_blank" to it, then the shortcode output should be changed to URL to use in the anchor, as shown by Jason in the last example here viewtopic.php?f=4&p=8154#p8154

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your speedy and helpful response...this is a handful for the inexperienced but the videos and your hlp here are certainly an assett

[Cristián Lávaque]

Thanks! We really appreciate it.

And I'm glad I could help you sort it out.

OK...The 0.00 advice seems to work fine so thanks for that.

Unfortunately the button in a new window advice now appears on my page as <a href=" then a picture of the button followed by " target="_blank">Checkout</a>

If I change the word button to url...all I get is code

[keystone]

Hey...I fixed it. What I did was this:

1. Uploaded a picture of a button
2. Used the basic button short code as the link changing the "button" to "url" as suggested.
3. Entered the short code as the button link without all the A HREF info
4. Used wordpress picture uploads to open in a new window.

Thanks again for your time...you certainly pointed me in the right direction to help me get there.
