Pro Forms Not Sending First/Last Name to PayPal

[smitchell360]

When a user updates the First Name and Last Name fields on the purchase form (using S2Member Pro), the OLD values are passed to PayPal.

Anyone else getting this?

Digging in the S2 code a bit...

Jason, in paypal-checkout.inc.php, lines 130 - 200, you are handling the case of user logged in with recurring billing purchase.

It looks like you are taking the $user->first_name and $user->last_name to set the paypal variables. Should you be getting these from the post_vars??

$paypal["FIRSTNAME"] = $post_vars["first_name"];
$paypal["LASTNAME"] = $post_vars["last_name"];

Jason,

I am pretty sure that was/is the problem. In addition, I do not see any code to so the user update with this information. there is some code around line 375 that does a CREATE if the user is not logged in ... but the UPDATE code seems to be missing.

Can you verify this?

Thank you VERY much for reporting this.

Sincere apologies for the delayed response.

Regarding Membership Billing Modifications with s2Member Pro Forms.
Yes, you are correct. We do need to update this routine so that First/Last is passed through as submitted instead of using the existing values on the account. However, this will only affect the purchase, and not the Member's Profile, because it's only needed for billing verification in this instance.

I'm having this corrected in the release of s2Member Pro v1.5.8.
