Version Confusion

[spacebiscuit]

Hi all - my first post!

Some time ago I installed and have been using OSCOM CE Phoenix v1.0.2.8 - stable no issues.

Just recently I tried to install the new 'Paypal Rest' payment module. It comes as a download paypal_v2x_install.php which when i try to run says my version of OS isn't supported. I then tried the manual install and it throws too many erros for me to try and fix it - I'm a developer:

Warning: The use statement with non-compound name 'PayPal' has no effect in
paypal_rest.php on line 16

Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in
modules.php on line 181

So I guess my version is out-dated and I should update. When I go tot he version checker it says:

A new version is available for download! (OSCOM CE Phoenix v4.0.12)
OSCOM CE Phoenix v4.0.12 Wednesday 05 April, 2023
OSCOM CE Phoenix v4.0.8 Friday 09 December, 2022
OSCOM CE Phoenix v1.0.7.15 Wednesday 10 February, 2021

However the download page shows the latest version as: 1.0.9.9 - why does the version checker say v 4.0.12?

Main question being - will the newest version support the Paypal Rest module?

Thanks!

Your version is very old as 1.0.2.8 was released October 2019, while Phoenix was still under the umbrella of the original osCommerce.

Unfortunately osCommerce got taken over and we were asked to leave, so at 1.0.7.16 (about February 2021) the opportunity was taken to split entirely from osCommerce. Unfortunately some of the older functions relied on some functions at the osCommerce site, hence why you see a mixed release schedule. Only those Phoenix users on versions prior to 1.0.7.16 would see this.

The latest release (as of today) is 1.0.9.10 and releases can always be found;
https://phoenixcart.org/download_ce_phoenix.php
or at
https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/PhoenixCart/releases

If you need to see older releases, see the Github;

Thanks Burt - any ideas if the Paypal Rest payment module will be compatible - I may just checkout a copy the latest version to test otherwise.

Thanks.

I do not know. If you downloaded the addon at this site [ https://phoenixcart.org/forum/addons/ ], it should have versioning to tell you compatibility.

@spacebiscuit Looking in the addons area there are two PayPal payment modules available.

The first is a free module at
app.php/addons/free_addon/paypal_standard_for_phoenix

Then there is a paid for version
app.php/addons/paid_addon/paypal_checkout_for_phoenix_2

Suitable versions are listed in each addon.
