Not receiving order creation admin notification email

Hello. When I updated my client to the latest version of Hikashop Starter they stopped receiving order creation admin notification emails when normal (guest) customers complete their orders. However, when I log in to the site and create an order, the emails work.

We are using PayPal Advanced, Hikashop Starter, and the current version of Joomla. No other Hikashop plugins are installed or active.

I checked the website access logs, which return 200, so PayPal POST is getting through to the site.

I checked the debug file and it initially returned nothing, but now shows,
"Undefined variable: order_text in" ... "/plugins/hikashoppayment/paypaladvanced/paypaladvanced.php on line 223"
This line reads,

$body = str_replace('<br/>',"\r\n",JText::sprintf('PAYMENT_NOTIFICATION_STATUS','PayPal Advanced',$vars['RESULT'])).' '.JText::sprintf('ORDER_STATUS_CHANGED',$this->payment_params->verified_status)."\r\n\r\n".$order_text;

Hi,

Please just add the code:

		$app = JFactory::getApplication();
		$order_text = '';

if($vars['secret_code'] != $this->payment_params->secret_code) {

Thank you for responding so quickly.

$app = JFactory::getApplication();

$order_text = '';

if($vars['secret_code'] != $this->payment_params->secret_code) {

Hi,

So you have not more PHP error messages displayed ?

Regarding the order administrator notification email, have the From Address been changed ? In some cases, if this the receiver email address is the same as the sender one the server don't send the email.

Does this email has been edited ? If it is, please remove the override and try again.

Ah ha I think I found it. There was one more error just before redirecting to PayPal but it usually flashed too quick to read. I captured it and it read,

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in

This line reads,

'EMAIL' => $this->user->user_email,
