I posted this as a reply to my original question, but it's been out there for 5 days so I'm going to assume it was missed. I Just got back to working on this today and there still seems to be some confusion. The demonstrations that Chad pointed me to are all for dynamic forms. That's OK, but it seems as though there are no Dynamic Registration samples for paypal integration. Even with the Dynamic Forms, the instructions are somewhat incomplete. What they don't mention in the documentation, is that if you want to use those forms samples, a few things have to happen.
1.When downloading the demo, the xml file has to be in the form of:
content.moduletype.formname.xml before you put it on your site. If not, it doesn't recognize that it belongs to the dynamic registration module. The sample began with content.dynamicforms.formname, but be even be displayed as being available to import, it had to be content.dynamicregistration.formname.
2.When you perform the import content, it will bring the xml into the module content area. Unfortunately, the tags are still referring to dynamic forms and have to be changed to dynamicregistration. Otherwise it will complain about the content not belonging to the module you're trying to import it into.
Which brings me to my questions:
1. I've reviewed the rest of the form, and from what I could see, the rest of the content should work in a dynamicregistration form. The problem though is that even something that appears relatively simple (like summing up the radio button fields that have been selected) doesn't appear to work, even though the syntax appears to be correct.
2. I tried to attach a sample of what the exported file now looks like as a dynamicregistration form, but I couldn't because the upload doesn't accept xml files. It also doesn't accept txt or dat. It will accept JPG, but gets a paramater error, so I've pasted it to the end of this post. Does it work when you import it? Does it appear to be correct? Should those fields work as coded?
5. Are there actual dynamic registration demonstration import files floating around anywhere that show paypal payflow integration?
thanks in advance.
