Drupal iphone

 So, if you want an iPhone-enabled version of your Drupal website, all you have to do is install the http://drupal.org/project/iui   iUI Drupal Theme, and then switch to the iUI theme when the user visits your mobile-enabled website. You could do that by either a small hack in settings.php, or one of the many modules out there that changes the theme based on the user agent or the domain. 

Drupal PayPal

A client of mine had an issue with PayPal checkout option not working correctly. Site with eCmmerce 5.x-3.3, This was working correctly before. The issue was when a customer were sent to PayPal.com they were not presented with an option to pay via credit card. They are forced to login or create a PayPal account. My guess is that the field "PayPal processing URL:" needs to be changed. Which it turn out to be pointing to an incorrect URL.  The answer was to  go to https://www.paypal.com/xclick/
