Hi Ken, the PayPal checkout is secure.  The flow is:

1. Customer clicks on PayPal button on your site
2. Customer enters payment details on paypal.com using PayPal's SSL.
3. Customer is returned to your site for final confirmation
4. Upon confirming, your site makes a final checkout call to PayPal, and the transaction proceeds.  This is simply a 'go-ahead' call on the agreed transaction in step 2.
5. PayPal redirects back to your site to show the 'thank you' page.

Steps 4 and 5 occur behind-the-scenes. The customer isn't taken to PayPal's pages for these steps.

At no point are credit card details entered or stored on your site, and at no point are details transmitted over an insecure connection.

You can try the flow out with test credentials.  The instructions are available here:

Yes, the problem only happens on non-'default' items.  We'll have a fix soon.

I'm not exactly sure what it entails but having GoDaddy switch you over to the newer version of Cpanel should fix the problem. This has worked for several TTG customers.

You can find more conversations about this by searching these forums for GoDaddy.

Are you with GoDaddy? If so, this is a known issue with their older servers.

Hi both.  The change item page is not passing the pricing scheme correctly, so defaulting to the scheme named 'default'.  That explains why the wrong products are coming up, or no products if you don't have any in a 'default' pricing scheme.
I've found the error and put in a fix.  This will be available in our next maintenance release, which should be out soon.

In ttg be admin set your email to use 'mail' and not 'smtp'

There is a file called gallery.xml that is generated by Pages to tell Publisher where to link to for the 'galleries'.  Since the location of 'galleries' is configurable, it's not something Publisher can work out on its own.
If you copy the file http://stuffbyjack.com/jacktest/galleries/gallery.xml to http://stuffbyjack.com/galleries/gallery.xml then that should fix it.

Broken config.php files have become quite a problem recently (thanks mostly to editors that added smart quotes around the items), so we've moved all details such as API Key into the admin page.  There's no need to edit any files for the Publisher or Cart.

Hi Kris, this shouldn't be the case.  Are you adding two of the same package?  If so, it may be that you're mixing up which was the old and which is the new when viewing the cart.  Also, what error was thrown?
It would be great if you could provide a link and steps to follow so I can see this happen.

Hi Chiltern, this is possible with Publisher.  You would setup an album set for each family, with a unique password for the album set.  In the album set settings within the published album, check the 'Hide from Auto Index' checkbox.

For example, you may then have the following structure:

portraits/smith-family/gallery-one
portraits/smith-family/gallery-two
portraits/williams-family/gallery-one
portraits/williams-family/gallery-two

You would then provide the two groups with the link to the album set for their family:
portraits/smith-family
portraits/williams-family

Once logged in, they will be able to browse the galleries within the album set.  Should somebody visit portraits/ then they will not see links to either of the family album sets.

Technically, users will be using the same cart instance, however they will only be able to add items from galleries they have access to.  Pricing can be configured as-needed for each group.

Hi Kris, in case you missed it, all text items can be changed via the Admin->Settings->Localisations->Manage Localisation function.

hi Wolfram, your database is empty.  How many albums should you have at http://www.art4u.photography/galleries/?
Have you accidentally removed the directory or files under ttg-be/data or ttg-be/data/publisher?
