Hi,

i never use the web interface of gmail, i always use my gmail account with thunderbird but just i was suprised when i was need to search for a old email, and make a search. at that point all was perfect but when i tried to sort by date i didn’t found any link for that, and even didn’t you the “last page” link, so i was forced to make a next action till seeing hundreds of emails, when i only needed to sort by the most old email or at least can go the last page.

5 payflow pro integration tips

Posted by shadow_of__soul | Posted in News | Posted on 31-08-2009

Hi,

has been like 6 months i’m dealing with the payflow pro platforms making integrations for this processor payment. basically, this it’s a processor like others, managed by paypal, it’s nor hard to do it, but sometimes you can get some errors that can make you crazy searching info about it, i think this tips can help you to make you work easier :)

1) have a problem? check the paypal forums

here it’s where i solved my 90% of my problems, and i didn’t even need to ask !. it’s a little hard to search and the forum it’s not “friendly” but they do the job :) . Payflow Gateway Forums

2) if you don’t know anything about, first, read some guides

when i started lookin for this, i didn’t even know how this working (the most close thing i ever made was the IPN paypal integrations, what are very diferents from this :P ) and the guides help me a lot to know what i needed to get the job done. Payflow PDF Guides

3) look for the best solution for your platform

the payflow pro have several options for each platform. if you are using something web based (like php) you need to use the https interface and if you are using other platform, like .NET or java, check the SDK .if after all of this you still feel lost, check the examples to see what you are doing wrong :)

4) use https for all your data transactions

maybe it’s a little obvious, but you need to use https in all the pages that involves the process of vital integration, from the form where the user enter her credit card number to the script that call to the payflow service and make the transaction

5) commons errors and solutions

here i going to detail you the commons error that can return the payflow gateway when you make a transaction:

User Authentication Failed

this happen when you are sending the incorrect credentials to the payflow pro server, check that the username, password, vendor and partner are correct from your account.this can happen also if you are filtering by ip the call’s to the gateway, if it’s yes, go to the manager , log in, go to “service settings” and check if the ip of your server are in the list.

User Authentication Failed: Vital

this usually happen when something it’s wrong with you account, like it’s not active for live transactions (if you are trying to run a live transaction). i recommend that if your account it’s already active for live transactions, call to your bank or who provide you the account and let them know the error.

account rules broken

i don’t remember exactly the name of this error, sorry :P but basically it’s a configuration error, again, log in into manager, and go to “account administration” -> “manage security” and there change the values of according of what you need to process, take note that the changes take effect in 1 hour.

transaction declined

it’s the more common error, and can have several reasons, some of them are:

*order amount more than 1000 dollars in test mode

*trying to process card’s not supported by the account (this need to check it with your bank)

*the credit card it’s invalid or you are passing in a incorrect way the parameters

*you are not sending a unique ID.

i hope all this tips help you and make you save some time :) if you need some cards number for test, you can user this below:

Hi,

browsing the site of my friend puelo in the botton i see a strange button for donate, then i click and i enter to pledgie.

i think it’s a great site to canalize the donation, there you can request any amount of money, and describe for what you going to use the money. also, can see the donor list and check the amount of donator what you have. also the dashboard it’s very intuitive and you can manage several donation campaigns. the money go directly to your paypal account, pledgie dont manage the money, that give you the security what you always going to be the owner of the money.

i sign up in the system and i start a donation campaign:
Click here to lend your support to: Funding for Ipsilon Developments and make a donation at www.pledgie.com !

the amount it’s high, but it’s what i need to grow up my business and dedicate full time to my projects. if 10.000 person donated $1 my dreams can come true :D

so, i recommend this system if you need or want to request donation :D

LG Mobile Developer Network

Hi,

browsing the web, i realized LG open a site to promote the development of application for LG phones. as i can see, this site offer doc and resources about the cellphones of LG,documentation about flash lite and a customized SDK based in Java ME for the LG phones. i think it’s great initiative, why you can get useful info more easily and share questions and answer with the comunity. at the same time, i would like LG concentrate efforts to integrate the android plattforms for the phones to finally set a standard for the mobile market and not like now, when you need to develop a app need to test in 200 millions of phones why each have a diferent version of java ME.

if you want, can check all the things here

Hi,

i readed in several games and blog what google it’s interested in put her adsense in games. he buyed several companys and i thinked we, the mortals developers and publisher we going to wait to put that ads in the games but i was wrong.

the last news about this it’s mochiads one of the largest ad network for games has sign a deal with google to integrate his ads to the network. more details of this from mochiads:

FAQs

Sweet! Do I have to do anything to enable the Google ads in my games?
Nope. You’re all set as long as you have MochiAds running in your games. Same code, more ads!

What types of Google ads will show up in my games?
This is a new initiative, so we’ll be testing a variety of ad types from video ads to image ads and maybe even some text ads. As we make more progress with the relationship, we’ll get a better sense of what works best in your games.

Where in my games will these ads run?
They can run anywhere that video ads can run. They will not, however, run in your Peel Away (leaderboard) ads.

Will Google ads show up in my US traffic?
Right now, Google ads will only show in your non-US (i.e., international) traffic, in the countries that AdSense for Games is present. For your US traffic, MochiAds will run as usual.

Will MochiAds run less often in my games?
Nope. MochiAds will still run as usual. The AdSense ads will supplement them for your international traffic.

Where do I go if I have any questions about the Google ads running in my games?
Contact us directly at support (at) mochiads (dot) com.

if it going to be more revenue for publishers (and mainly developers) it’s great initiative :D

edit: i just realized what you can apply to google game ads directly, whiteout mochiads going here. the requirement are a little high but you can also integrate with PC and Java games.

Regards,

Shadow.

Hostgator give free hosting to non-profit organization and open source projects

Posted by shadow_of__soul | Posted in News | Posted on 07-10-2008

Hi,

exactly what you read, hostgator it’s offering a 1 year of free webhosting to non-profit organization, open source initiatives and any project hat benefit the human beign.

from hostgator blog

HostGator has a history and tradition of giving back. In the last year, we’ve donated over $125,000 to charity, actively worked towards offsetting and reversing our environmental impact, and given free or
discounted web hosting to a countless number of web sites.

Today, we’re moving forward with our commitment to the communities and the people we serve with the launch of the HostGator Technology Grant.

Recipients of the HostGator Technology Grant will receive one year of completely free web hosting with our Swamp Plan, which offers 1,000 GB of space and unlimited bandwidth. If the Swamp plan does not fit the needs of the particular recipient, they can opt to take the grant as a $180 service credit to any other HostGator product or service. After the one year of free service, grant recipients can re-apply and if accepted again, continue to use HostGator web hosting completely free.

The HostGator Technology Grant’s goal is simple and straightforward: provide free web hosting to organizations and projects that serve the greater good.

Obtaining legitimately free web hosting for nonprofits can be an arduous process. Organizations should be spending their time doing what they believe in and what they set out to do, not hunting for
affordable and quality web hosting.

The wide scope of the grant is intentional – we wanted it so all types of organizations that serve the greater good could take advantage of free HostGator web hosting. Whether your organization is nonprofit community center or a cutting edge open source project, we want to hear from you.

The application process for the HostGator Technology Grant is simple. There are just a few questions and it shouldn’t take an organization longer than 15 or 20 minutes to complete the short application. Click Here to APPLY

Once you’re all setup, then you can do your actual job and get back to doing what you love. We want to make the web hosting experience less troublesome and more convenient for everyone, including those who are seeking to better society through their organizations and projects.

If you have any questions about HostGator’s Technology Grant program, please go to http://www.hostgator.com/nonprofit-web-hosting.shtml or email techgrant@hostgator.com. We’re more than happy to help.

i think it’s a great initiative and the service of hostgator it’s great, so i think it’s a great oportunity if you have a project like this and need hosting.

Regards,

Shadow.
