I have upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 and when trying to set up payment, the Provides simply don't load, as shown by ",,,,". I check the config file, all provides are listed correctly. I have also enabled payment and the enable field is =1.


If I click "Configure payment method" I will get lots of Unknown Tag: 'field_description' on the next page.

It seems nobody has got this error by search this forum. What could be wrong?
I have copied all payment templates and language text into my local folder and did twice upgrades w/o resolving the problem.

Thank you in advance.

You're using an old template set that needs upgrading. Take a look at the template diffs to see what changes have been made. If you're using a template from the template pack (av, mint, etc), then you can just download the updated template pack.

Hi Adrian,

I have copied all payment templates to admin templates and my local template folder, which made no difference.

I think the first error of failure to load providers has nothing to do with templates. It seems that the program failed to read or parse the configure file which I have checked and even replaced with a another working version.

Hi Adrian,

Please ignore the post above. It finally works.

Can you be more precise about which templates you think are out of date to cause this problem (which I also have - in v2.2.1, having just turned on payments)? I'm using a set of templates that are a modified copy of "default".

Payments > Add Method gives a series of boxes, but nothing against "Name:" in each case, and a series of commas or nothing against "Provides:" Clicking on some gives a page with nothing under the required and optional headings, others give a page with a good-looking form, but everything is called "field_description:" and has "Unknown Tag: 'field_description'" alongside it.

But I cannot see what template this might be contained in - all the payment templates appear to be customer-facing. I've started to go through the template changes from the side menu but it's not easy reading and I might be looking for a non-existant needle in a haystack.

Thanks for any help - I'm wishing I had looked at this earlier as I now have a whole lot of stuff ready to go but logjammed behind getting the payments set up.

OK - I think I worked this out.

More complete info (and my solution) is in:

The correct templates were in place, but the language.txt file was missing the necessary text.

I do still have to update some user templates to implement payment-related features before I can be sure it's all ok, but fingers crossed ...
