Problems with 'Becoming a Member' Page

Tue, 2011/04/26 - 04:00 — nhoeller

Eileen reported today that the Subscribe button for US and Non-Canadians does not take you to PayPal but instead returns you to the same Becoming a Member page.  I have been able to recreate the problem but at this point have not been able to figure out where the problem is.  The code looks fine and is identical (other than the particular button invoked) as that for the Canadian subscribers.  I will investigate further and post a comment once the problem is resolved.

'Become a Member' Page Fixed

The Subscribe button for US and Other Non-Canadian Members has been fixed.  It looks like an upgrade on Aparil 8th to the code that supports collapsed text (used for the different tax regions of Canada) caused some additional code to be wrapped around the page content.  This code over-wrote the destination of the Subscribe button, sending users back to the same page rather than to PayPal.  I had verified that the collapsed text worked after the upgrade, but did not think to check for 'collateral damage' outside of collapsed text blocks.

Sorry for any confusion caused to those that tried to subscribe to the BID Community.  And thanks to Eileen for pointing out the problem!
