    Is it possible to add an option to the settings page to disable ipn logging?

    The IPN function has worked fine for me, but once a transaction is completed, PayPal continues to generate dozens of messages for each transaction. I think that this is because while the confirmation of the transaction is working for the plugin (I see transactions marked as “Complete”) — the PayPal API isn’t getting a confirmation back from the listener, and so it continues to attempt to communicate.

    In any case, many of the items logged are more than 20 lines — useful for debugging, I’m sure, but it causes huge logs to be created on the server.

    I found that it was easy to disable logging within the script, merely by finding the appropriate line and changing the Debug option to “0” rather than “1” — but I would prefer to have this option available via a check box on the plugin IPN settings page.

    Without that I’ll have to remember to manually change settings any time the plugin is updated in the future Whereas a simple check box on the settings page to enable or disable logging would be user friendly and could make it easy for users like me to enable logging only when needed for debugging purposes.
