I'm allowing user's to donate and have an increased level of access to the site. I have set up all the values and such in the admin panel and enabled member sponsorship.
it properly displays: You may purchase promotion to the user group 4 at a rate of USD $1.50 per 30 days. Click the 'buy now' button to purchase however many days you wish.
However, when 'buy now' is clicked Paypal responds with: The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.
it incorrectly displays: You may purchase promotion to the user group 4 at a rate of USD ${SPONSORCHARGE1} per 30 days. Click the 'buy now' button to purchase however many days you wish.
but the 'buy now' button properly redirects to Paypal.
Actually the list on the page text is the issue, it should use {SPONSORUGCHARGE1} there in the template instead of the {SPONSORCHARGE1} it's using... as it is, it's showing you the image type promotion value. Do you have the value properly filled in for usergroup promotion?

Hi Paul,
I'm having an issue with the sponsorship feature.
I'm allowing user's to donate and have an increased level of access to the site.
I have set up all the values and such in the admin panel and enabled member sponsorship.
The problem is as follows:
If the user goes to the url: http://mysite.com/index.php?custom=yes&TID=promote
it properly displays: You may purchase promotion to the user group 4 at a rate of USD $1.50 per 30 days. Click the 'buy now' button to purchase however many days you wish.
However, when 'buy now' is clicked Paypal responds with: The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.
Now, if the user uses this url: http://mysite.com/membersponsor.php
it incorrectly displays: You may purchase promotion to the user group 4 at a rate of USD ${SPONSORCHARGE1} per 30 days. Click the 'buy now' button to purchase however many days you wish.
but the 'buy now' button properly redirects to Paypal.
Ideas on both issues?
Thanks

I have the value inputted for the membership type... not the image. I'm not using image sponsorship.
I'll make the SPONSORUGCHARGE changes as necessary
