Still evaluating the 30-day hosted trial version and I had a question. I think all I can do is test the simple commerce, right? To do so, the docs list the following directive:

In order for the Simple Commerce module to create purchase links that utilize PayPal’s Sandbox area instead of the real PayPal site, you need to enable the module’s debug mode. To do so, open mod.simple_commerce.php, and near the top where the class variables are defined, set $debug to TRUE.
var $debug = TRUE;

Remember to set this variable to FALSE when you wish to take your store live and route purchases to the real PayPal website.

Where do I find the mod.simple_commerce.php file to open?

Mike- is this squared away for you- I know I shifted the other question on how to get the links into ‘How to’, but wasn’t clear if you have the sandbox setup yet.  I’ll need to double check on how/whether that’s handled on the trial install.

No, I haven’t gotten it resolved yet. Please let me know if this can be done on the trial install.

OK- had to double check, but at this time, the debug isn’t available on the hosted demo (it’s because you can’t edit the files on the hosted demo- no ftp access).  In general, folks have mainly been using the hosted trial to see how the items would be managed, the paypal links created, etc.  And you can run through the process up to the point of confirming a purchase to get a feel for it.  But right now?  You aren’t able to do the full debug routine.

How do I set up the process to get to the point of confirming a purchase? Is that code I have to add to the template or to the weblog?

The demo store I have set up is a blog embedded in a template. How do I make the subscribe links active and integrated with the simple commerce module and PayPal?

Let’s take the more explicit technical issues to the other thread- here.  If you’ve got up the template with the code from that thread?  Can you post back there, let me take a look at it.  Show me where it’s giving you trouble, etc.  It’s easy to go from a live example on getting things squared away.
