A valid amount is required. (3) (authorize.net problem)

[admin]

Hello, if you are using "virtuemartmailorder manager" (com_virtuemartmailordermanager) component together with the core VM's authorize.net plugin you may come into this issue:

There was an error while processing your transaction: A valid amount is required. (3) 
Order not completed, data is not valid

This issue has nothing to do with our extensions, and is caused by a core hack of the mail order manager which inserts inproper code into your authorize.net plugin:

Locate the original code:

Code: Select all

      if(!empty($_REQUEST['mailorder'])){
      $formdata = array_merge ($this->_setTransactionDataAdd ($order['details']['BT'], $method), $formdata);
      }
      else{$formdata = array_merge ($this->_setTransactionData ($order['details']['BT'], $method), $formdata);
      }



and update it to :

Code: Select all

if(!empty($_REQUEST['mailorder'])){
      $formdata = array_merge ($this->_setTransactionDataAdd ($order['details']['BT'], $method), $formdata);
      }
      else{$formdata = array_merge ($this->_setTransactionData ($order['details']['BT'], $totalInPaymentCurrency['value']), $formdata);
      }


within your authorize.net plugin:
\plugins\vmpayment\authorizenet\authorizenet.php
