Problem with payments
I've been testing before putting a new site "live" using glinks 3.0.2 with all the latest patches.
Payments simply do not work :(
I've set the payment method to paypal.
If I make payments obligatory it refuses to process it saying that I cannot pay for other people's links (???)
If I make it optional no payment method is offered.

Am I missing something really obvious and stupid?

If it says you can't pay for other people's links then it means that you're attempting to pay for a link that's owned by someone else. Have you checked the database for this?

It gives me that error on links that do not exist in the database ie. new ones that I am adding.
As I said, if I set payments to "optional" it does not display anything about payments when adding the link.

If you send me admin panel access and which links/accounts you're having problems with, I can take a look.

You added the links from the admin/browser, and made the links owned by admin. You can only pay for the links as the admin user since that's who owns them.

Err. No. The ones that are giving me problems are ones that I was adding as a user ie. via add.cgi
ie. go to site
click on add link/url

Nothing to do with the links already in the database.

Tell me specifically which link(s). I went to modify as your blacknight user and it showed no links.

Without logging in as a user simply try to add a link with payments obligatory for all.

It won't process the payment side of it, but gives the error I mentioned

With payments set to optional it won't give you any option to pay for the link when you add it.

In neither case is the person submitting the link logged in as a registered user.

Payments only work with user added links.
