Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome

[sinisterpain]

What Donations Bar Is:
It is a simple way for Admins to show a donation progress bar on their forum home page with Admin set goals and donations recieved. Because the donation bar is a stand alone it can be utilized with any donation system your using. It adds more visability of your site donation goal requirements and donation button to your members for hopefully more through put in donations.

Can Be Used With:

Any paypal/donate system.
PayPal Easy Donate - vB 3.6
(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123181)
Cyb Paypal donate
(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122997)Will auto update donor bar now, but must be set in donation bar options.
Vb Subscriptions (Can be used as manual or auto updating)


This script adds:

3 Plugins
1 Template


Installation:

Import the product-donationbar.xml through admin cp
If you use Cyb-Paypal mod you must select it in vboptions->Donation Bar->Cyb-paypal set to yes.
If you use Vb subrcriptions you must select it in vboptions

Post Installation:
Make sure when entering the form code for your Paypal button the links are formated as follows:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="business"
value="sample@sample.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>

If your using this mod in 3.6.10 or higher and your sending people directly to paypal instead of your donation page from the button you need to add the below or you will recieve the security token error on clicking the button
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />


If you do not use this format for the links your button will not show. Please do not copy and past my info above you must fo to your Paypal account and create a button with your account code and email info.
If you wish instead of a paypal button link you can put the URL to your donation page.

Update Version:
1.00 First Realease
1.01 updated template to be more in line with default vbulletin style.
1.02 Added donation bar color to change to green when 100% or greater donations met.
Also added version check.
1.03 Fixed the color of the bar to not show small piece of red bar on left. Edited donorbar
template to fix broken donor bar box.
1.04 Added Cyb-paypal intergration in admincp donation bar options. Thanks goes to AWJUNKIES for the adddition.
1.0.5 Fixed XHTML missing tag. Added ability to enter vbsubscription amount through Admincp. Bar will display only 100% now and once reached will post a thank you below donor button if you have a thank you message set. Fixed the donorbar template to be in the template group and not part of vbulletin so updating updates the template.
1.0.6 Added Auto updating of the donor bar for Vb paid subscriptions
1.0.7 Added option for auto insert of the donation bar under navbar, you can now float the donation bar if you are using chatbox, option for selection of usergroups able to see donor bar, You have option to enter which page to display donation bar on or show on all pages. General code clean-up.
1.0.8 Fixed issue with template not being cached. Added ability to change currency symbol from admincp.
1.1.0 Added setting in admincp for setting goal period



Upgrading Instructions:

When upgrading to Version 1.0.7 please make sure you remove the
FORUMHOME template edit as its no longer required. Failure to do so will produce two donor bars on forum index page.

IMPORTANT: If updating from an earlier version than 1.0.5 you must uninstall the earlier version and delete the old donorbar template before importing the new XML file.

Go to your Admincp->Plugin&Products->Manage products->Add/Import Product make sure you select overwrite.

Please report any and all bugs within this thread with as much detail as possible.

Click Mark as Installed for support and so that you will be notified instantly upon any major updates.

I was thinking the same ;)

Just create your button and input the info into the field for the form, but make sure the the links are as described above or it will not work.

[Ev!L ErN!E]

Could you place this inside Bill PayPal donate page? I think for people who use that mod it would come in handy to intergrate the two.

It was meant to work with your current donation page by providing your site members a quick glance of your current donations, goal and a donate link on forum home. This provides more of a presence for your donations request as it will be seen by your members rather than having to click a link to a donor page which usually only happens when a member donates.
Are you asking if its possible or if I could do it? I have no authority to add anything to billspaypal without his permission. I would probably just write my own donation page which is how I originally starting coding this, but decided this avenue was more beneficial to Admins.

It will work as an addon but it will not directly interact with it you will have to still manually input the goal and your paypal amount. To make it interact would not be too difficult, but I dont think it will be useful to the community as a whole.

that`s no big deal i can manage that :) you`ve done such a gud task this much is still affordable :D

I have not tested it with 3.6.4 but it should work and yes the donor bar is a stand alone so it can be used with any paypal mod.

[VHLinks]

I am using it on 3.6.4 just fine. And actually I tweaked it a bit to work with how I have my site news, etc. I simplified it a bit, I don't need as much info as most of you probably do. Thanks very much!

Do u use any other hack to receive paypal donations ? & is tweaking needed just as u made it to get it below & etc.. or just to get it work u had to tweak ?

The reason I put the link in red is to ensure that I made it clear how the links need to be formated. What you should do is go to your paypal account create your own button and it will give you the relevant code to put in the mod with your paypal info. As I click on your button now it goes to paypal but not your specific site paypal page. You need to enter your paypal email info and any other info that you wish. My post information above is only an example of how the link should be formated (highlighted in red).

Sorry for being such a dweeb
You should never feel that way about asking a question. We can never learn without them. ;)

It will work with any donation system you are using. It does not require any other mod.

Update the template to be more in line with default vbulletin style.

I got a new logo from paypal and installed it on the progress bar but when I click on it, it just opens up a pop up window with information about paypal. I had a look in my paypal account but couldn't see anything to direct the link towards my own paypal page. Obviously i'm not doing something right... can you help me get it sorted please?

**updated**

UPDATE
Never mind, I got it solved :)

[RaceJunkie]

Question.

Does this bar update automatically when someone makes a donation?

[yaoren]

I haven't had a donation since I added it... Yet, but I know once you receive notification that you received XX amount, you can add that XX amount in via the control panel.

Hope that helps a little :)

Thanks after further review I believe the same thing.

[yaoren]

Now... if you want to come to my site and donate $1, i'll be able to find out if it updates automatically or not. :D :D

**Update**

Donations do not move the progress bar, you have to manually enter the amount via admincp
Just remember to put the "Total" amount you have received and not just the "last donation" you received. :)

I use Bill's PayPal hack, but that really doesn't interface at all with the bar. The bar's stats are all manually entered in via the control panel. So when someone donates, I still have to put in the amounts.

The only tweaks I made were just using the parts of the HTML code I needed and putting them in the forumhome template where I wanted them. So yeah it's fairly simple if you know how to edit those templates, which I know most people here do.

You should re edit your donar bar template its missing the table for the bar and you do not show your goal that your striving for.

I would put back the original and edit the template as I described above.

and just change:

$donorbar% of our goal has been reached.

to:

$donorbar% of our $$vboptions[goal] goal has been reached.

All in and working now, I'm not realised initially it was stand alone :)

The difficult part was to get the PayPal form in the right format. I am curious though why the form has to use that particular format and button for the Mod to work ? If one wishes to link to an existing Donations page then surely that can not be possible.

Ideally I'd want to link to Bills Donation system and if one has to use the form specified in the instructions this is not the case - or am I missing something?

If you wish to point to your donation page just enter this instead of your form code.
and edit yoursite.com with your addy and your donation file with the php file you link too.

Yes, the info that I put as an example is just that, an example to show the format of the link you must input into the admin cp->vb options->donations bar field for paypal button link. You must put your specific paypal info so the link goes to your paypal page.
The alternative is if you are using a paypal mod (ie..paypal donations3.5, billpaintball, cyberpaypal etc..) you may elect to link to your donation page.
It has to be updated manually as it does not link into any other mod. It was meant as a standalone or could be added to one of the other paypal mods.

Import the updated XML file and allow overwrite.
This will change the bar color to green when 100% or greater donations are recieved.

Only one problem we modified the template as in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1304107&postcount=25)to make it cleaner and now we get a slight piece of red at the start of the bar, and no closing box at the end as you can see here (http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/index.php).

I have tested this on my test board and I do not have a problem with the end box not closing. From looking at your template you have modified the original quite a bit you may try to remove the class from the table for the donor bar. As far as the bit of red thats normal, I did not see this as a big issue but if you think it is then I will have to adjust the code to remove it.

[tekguru]

Can you post the original template on site please so I can revert and see if that improves the look of it.

The red part I can live with but as three users have PM'ed me asking about it - it might be an idea to fix it if you can :)

Fixed the issue with the small piece of the red bar showing to the left. Edited the templated and removed class= "alt2" from the donation bar <td> so box is closed. If you prefer you can remove the class= "tborder" from the table around the donation bar and put back the td class= alt2" its your choice.
Import the updated XML file from above overwrite.

[tekguru]

This update has fixed the red colour (our thanks) but even thouh we overwrote the XML completely the bar is still not closed using the Aria Sand+ Theme.

Any ideas?

You must have used your original template, because I have removed class= "alt2" from the template in the XML.

Remove the red highlighted from either here:

<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"><img src="http://www.your website.com/forums/images/your style/polls/bar1-l.gif" alt="" width="3" height="10">

or here but not both:

Try editing one see how it looks then try by editing the other and see which one looks the best for your site.

If you recently updated as of Aug 19th there is no further update at this time. The mod thread reflects updated due to an issue with the "last updated" date at the top of the page showing "never" instead of 8/19/07 which has been now corrected.
Sorry for any inconvience.

I've installed this mod and everything works fine with the main module although when i attempt to install the vbadvanced cmps version I end up with it not working and showing some very odd code at the top of the main vbadvanced page. As I don't see any instructions in the download or in this thread that specifically explains how to install it into the vbadvanced settings and the download i extracted was a basic module I attempted to install it as such and chose php as the file type. Is it possible to have you explain the proper method to install the vbadvanced (running the 3.0 version on vbulletin 3.6.8) so that i can tell if I'm doing the installation of this module properly?

Code that is showing above the vbadvanced main page header is as follows:

a:2:{s:6:"module";a:11:{s:5:"title";s:12:"Donation Bar";s:10:"identifier";s:9:"donorbars";s:8:"filename";s:11:"donationbar";s:7:"inctype";s:8:"template";s:12:"templatelist";s:22:"adv_portal_donationbar";s:6:"parent";s:0:"";s:7:"colspan";s:1:"0";s:8:"formcode";s:0:"";s:8:"useshell";s:1:"1";s:4:"link";s:0:"";s:7:"options";s:1:"0";}s:9:"templates";a:1:{s:22:"adv_portal_donationbar";s:1278:" $vboptions[donationtitle] We have received $$vboptions[donormoney] in donations towards our goal of $$vboptions[goal]

$barimag_left$barimag$barimag_right

$donorbar% of our goal has been reached.

Thank You from $vboptions[bbtitle]

Any help is appreciated as we like this mod are really want to use it on both pages (main page and forums head page)

[cpgaming]

I have this sorted out I was uploading it manually and it wasn't adding the proper code to the templates i chose the upload/download module this time to see if that worked and it is working great and fixed the code error i was receiving at first. My apologies for not thinking of that initally and posting here and thanks for this and several other great mods you've made that my client is using they are really enjoying them so far and like the look of them. Great work :) :up:

[sinisterpain]

I am glad you got it sorted out. No need for apologies, and thanks for the kind words.

[baby41]

You have to edit the template in admincp called donorbar
Maybe I will add an option to change currency symbol

This product is working fine on my forum but I do not have any donorbar file in the admincp ????? Can you see if that is the correct location and if I can translate this to portuguese aswell and if it is the same file,regards.

Thanks I have found and easy to change.;)

[cagbaazee]

where do i put it

Post Installation:
Make sure when entering the form code for your Paypal button the links are formated as follows:

Code:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="business"
value="sample@sample.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>If you do not use this format for the links your button will not show. Please do not copy and past my info above you must fo to your Paypal account and create a button with your account code and email info.
If you wish instead of a paypal button link you can put the URL to your donation page.

how do i put my paypal ID for that...

[baby41]

You need to go to your paypal account and click on Merchant Tools --> Key Features (donations) and follow the instructions,regards.

[sinisterpain]

What I mean by the link format is the slashes. ie (highlighted in red)
should look like this for links:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">


I do not mean that your info has to be the same as my example, just the link slashes.

[dizzine]

does this work on 3.5.4 with v2 by any chance.??..great add-on..!!

[sinisterpain]

I have not tested it with 3.5.4. The plugins may cause you problems

[Creed3020]

Is it possible to display somewhere other than forumhome, like inside a specific forum?

If yes what sort of changes would be needed.

Thanks! :D

[sinisterpain]

Just add the $donationbar into the template you wish to display it.

[wpeloquin]

how hard would it be to create something like this so that it does tie in with, for example, Cyb-PayPal Donate mod? that mod already creates tables in the database (i have not looked at them yet as of this post, but it has a page to display who's paid how much and when, so i am assuming its in the database somewhere). can we set up your bar to pull numbers out of there? i can see how it would be a bit involved, but if it queries by date and totals, it should work right?

I have not looked at the mod in detail but I would have to say it could be done.

[Phosphorus]

ok installed
changed the current monney to € instead $

template to edit is "donarbar" like posted before

for the cmps u have to edit the "adv_portal_donationbar" template

For people they duno where to chnage :
just find and replace the $ with the € on this line :
<td class="alt1">We have received a total of €$vboptions[donormoney] in donations towards our goal of €$vboptions[goal]

It can be done! :)

I look forward to the integration once approved by both groups.

[sinisterpain]

It can be done I have it done! :)

I don't have it looking pretty though kinda hacked to figure out the code. I will clean it up and present it to CYB as well as here. I want them to integrate them both. It is a progression in the CYB mod.

So stay tuned for it.

If you request it I will convert it to cyb paypal and get his permission to offer it.

[unforsaken]

everything seems to be working great on it, however it doesn't show the percentage of the donations/goal. it shows the dollar amount, but the bar doesn't appear and the percent is blank. btw i just installed it and haven't had any donations to it yet, but what i did was in the config of it, put the goal amount and what we currently had donated towards it, and that is all i got out of it. any thoughts/suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated...and i love the idea of this

Please PM me a link to your site so I can see what you have.

[wpeloquin]

I have not looked at the mod in detail but I would have to say it could be done.im sure it can be done, but im not a very experienced coder, and it'd take me awhile to figure it out (if it's even in my capacity). i do know his mod creates tables, and they are pretty basic, so i can't imagine it'd be too difficult. but like i said, im more of a template-edit kinda guy :)

If you request it I will convert it to cyb paypal and get his permission to offer it.

it seems to be the major question of the mod. everyone seems to like the idea, and i can understand the reason on making it the way you did for the end-user ease. just seems like people want the integration, and there really seem to be only 2 major paypal mods, bill's and cyb's. its your time, but i'd use it if available.

Ill look at it this weekend

[Jdm Ej1 Coupe]

will the donation bar move on its own or do you manually have to change it in the admin pc when people donate?

Edit: read thru the first few pages of this thread and found the answer! Thanks "clicks installed"

[sinisterpain]

glad it worked for ya

[member007]

Just a question whether you can make a donation add-on for each moderator who moderates their forums. This is to help motivate moderators to help your site.:)

[tekguru]

Are you also looking at modifying this to work with Bills Donation Mod?

[irishblue]

I have created a seperate install for those who wish to have the donation bar automated to use Cyb Paypal donate. Go here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160675)
the donor bar with cyb is in the mod graveyard. the files aren't there anymore. is there an updated one?

[sinisterpain]

Sorry meant to remove that link. No its not been updated.

The best way to do this is to generate the code by creating a donation button through your paypal account. All your pertanant information that you wish to add to the button will be added and paypal generates the code for you to use.

[Stryker412]

Is there anyway to have the bar reset on a certain date? We have monthly fees and I'd like to set a date by which all donations would have to be in by.

[Stryker412]

Also, how do you link it to your current donation system (in my case Bill's)? Or do you have to manually edit all the donations?

[AWJunkies]

sinisterpain let me know if you need help.

I have already merged cyb and yours to auto update the bar instead of having to go to the ACP each time. Instead at the moment i have it so you have to change it to whatever month it is once a month and it will auto update for full month while in that month. Instead of changing the amount for every donation you get daily or hourly like current setup. Working on the per month reset system. So it goes back to 0 each month. Also adding more features to cyb to see per month stats not total etc.

THIS IS PRIVATE NOT PUBLIC (so up to original coders to approve a public version)

[tekguru]

Wow fingers crossed that you'll be allowed to releasd this. Will you be looking into integration with Bills Subs Mod too?

[sinisterpain]

Also, how do you link it to your current donation system (in my case Bill's)? Or do you have to manually edit all the donations?

Have not looked at bills paypal mod, I can and let you know.

[AWJunkies]

Done! Hit me up I have new XML file.

Yes it can be made to work with ANY paypal donation system. Just need to know the variable and table they are using. Can just follow the code I did and will be easy to add it to anything.

Added features:
* Cyb- Paypal Donation Integration
* If there is a negative or a blank number in either goal or amount variables it will show 0 now

Template edits:
* Fixed issue when there was no 'Donations Explained Variable' it would mess up template and have blank area
* No more red image within bar when there is 0% (only when there is a % will it show the inside of bar)
* Deleted added footer section that was causing template issues with blank space

More stuff to come. Please hit me up to approve it for dled.

Just waiting for him to come on. It is almost a total re-write but not one to care who gets credit just that it gets out in circulation to help people out and make mods more advanced. I have been programing for 10 years and know what it is like not to have time to finish a mod or quickly put something out. We all need a boost some time. Not saying this about this mod developer but in general.

[tekguru]

This is starting to sound really exciting!

[Catziggy]

Count me in . Need the cyb integration :)

Suggestion for Cyb though. It would be better if it worked when the donations approved rather than made :)

That is how it works :) Only when a amount is confirmed will it show in the donation bar.

[sinisterpain]

I had a cyb donation bar but removed it due to redundancy. Also you will have to reset the amounts each month as cyb paypal just has a cumulating total $ amount in the table.

Mine you don't have to reset it each month. It will do it AUTO. It all has to do with the sql you initiate to get the info. I sent you the XML look it over and test it. Tomorrow it will reset auto you wont have to touch a dam thing. Once you read the code it will all make sense.

[AWJunkies]

Just wanted to let you know it reset without me doing anything and changes as an eastern time setting. whatever you have as default for your site.

Please dled and test. Have had 10+ people try it without any issues. Sinister you have to test it on a real site.

downloaded and trying it out thanks

The form code box in the donation bar mod is if you wish to link to your paypal account directly or to your donor page using a paypal button. You do not need to edit anything in the cyb paypal mod. See the example above for the format of links but use your own paypal code info.

[tekguru]

Is there still hope for a version that will support Bills Donations Mod? To me that is the more flexible of the two Mods....

[Vinyljunky]

For cyb paypal I put this in the Form Code for Donations Form

<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/misc.php?do=donate" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="business"
value="sample@sample.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/bnr/horizontal_solution_PP.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"></form>

It may not be 100% correct syntax but it works for me :)

Oh, and you need to edit your forumhome template as per the install instructions at the top of the post!

Sinisterpain, I would very much love this hack to be working on 3.5.4. Can you post the 3.5.4 version of this xml? Im using the old noblepagan paypal hack thus other than inserting the link onto navbar, i can put this instead and link it to my donation page.

Thanks for the update. It is implemented now.

2 more suggestions:
1. Still allow for additional amounts (eg ad revenue) to be included as well as the donations.
2. Consider a smaller donation Bar (possibly a thermometer style) that can be used in a sidebar

Thanks again. Good work!

If you use vbadvanced I have created a cmps version for side bar.

Still allow for additional amounts (eg ad revenue) to be included as well as the donations.
There are far to many ad mods on vb.org to possibly account for any particular one that a user might have installed on his board, and it would IMO not follow the intent of why I created the mod.

[Catziggy]

Okay i think i know why its not working for me. Does the new system edit the navbar template? I am using a template from vbstyles which almost negates the use of the navbar and transfers all the workings like the links etc except the welcome section to header template.

Is this the issue?

For custom templates you must manually edit the forumhome template as directed in the above instructions. Also you need to go to admincp->vboptions->Donation Bar and configure your settings.

Would help to have link to your site to see what your doing as templates go. Not sure why your template threw everything in header best to have them separate depending on how much info your really putting in header.

[Catziggy]

I turned off the forum bar as ive integrated it into vbadvanced and that has the module on every page.
http://www.timelessgaming.com
The links to donate and see donaters are in the payapl module below the donation bar.

I agree about the header bit.

[AWJunkies]

Did you take sinisterpain one and just add my code to it? If you did please give it to sinisterpain so he can update his so everything is current. I have not seen the sidebar code so not sure what it is all about.

[rwoscott]

Installed, Thankyou
Installed on 2nd, and 3 donations by the 3rd. Excellent response.

This mod was well worth the small effort to install.

Double thumbs up!!:up::up:

[AWJunkies]

It has increased my donations huge as well as having the pop up notify to donate after X time. Works like a charm.

[tekguru]

Well I looked into using the Cyb donate Mod again and what put me off was:

- No high visibility vbAdvanced donate block
- Not being able to have the Admins primary usergroup as 6
- No good looking 'Donate page' as per Bills offering

So it looks like I'll still have to update manually and stick with Bills Mod :(

Hi i installed this product yesterday to work with cyb donation people can donate but there is no progress on donation bar. My website is www.pspiso.com

[Bojeunx]

When i close CYB donate and enter a donated amount everything is ok the bar is working but when i enable Cyb paypal donation hack and enable it on donation bar plugin on control panel the bar is not working.
Thanx
I want to use it CYB paypal donation so much :/

CYB is not on your site please enable it so I can see. You have direct link setup instead right now.

http://www.pspiso.com/misc.php?do=donlist not working please activate for me. I need to see what is going on. Make sure you have latest cyb and latest donation bar here. I need to know what the donation bar reads is it 0? or blank. Cause it is impossible for it to be blank so I need to see what is going on. Also I need access to your donation list. Remember this counts donations in the current month, not 28-31 days before if that makes sense. It will search for confirmed donation within december which we are only 4 days into. So if you have not got a donation within these 4 days it will show a 0.

Hit me up on AIM= AWJunkies
So I can help you out.

Also to add if you have had donations in december the donation bar will work without cyb paypal ON. It just grabs the info off the table and has nothing to do with cyb functions.

[Moncha]

When you say it will work without CYB Paypal on. Is this a manual update or is it automatic? I rely on annual dues so, want to keep using the VB subscriptions.

[Bojeunx]

Thanx Awjunkies helped me.
Remember you have to confirm payments manually to make them visible on the donation bar.

[tekguru]

From what I'm reading here will this also count subscription payments?

As that is something I don't want...

[sinisterpain]

If you are using CYB-Paypal then you go to admincp->vboptions->Donation Bar and turn it on by selecting it in the menu otherwise leave it off and do the updates manually as before.

[sinisterpain]

No it will not. You would have to enter the info manually.

I do not have time at the moment to work on this cause I have no need for it to do subscriptions at this time. Sorry guys will have to wait for me to do it. Working on other projects of high importance at the moment. I can help with current mod but features you want added please just make a list and send to my PM box and I will get to them as soon as I can.

I wish there was something like this for the Amazon Honor System for those who can't use PayPal because of their wacky blacklisting...

As a stand alone it can work with any sytem since you can enter the info manually through the admincp. Although I do not know what Amazon Honor System is.

If you use vbadvanced I have created a cmps version for side bar.


There are far to many ad mods on vb.org to possibly account for any particular one that a user might have installed on his board, and it would IMO not follow the intent of why I created the mod.
No, I do not use vbadvanced. I use ordinary sidebars. Thanks tho.

Can I clarify. If there was a field in the ACP that allowed me to enter the ad revenue (or anything else) then this amount was added to the bar, it would be all I was thinking of. I agree that trying to integrate ad revenue mods would be impossible. I was thinking low key :)

[AWJunkies]

Yes I can integrate it so if your using cyb and want a manual amount as well added very easy to do. Also can make it so there is separate space for add revenue and subscriptions. Please PM me and I will get to it as soon as I can. Finishing up some other mods right now.

I am sorry if this is a bad question, but where is my FORUMHOME template? I looked in my Style Manager but I can't find it.

There is space between the navbar and the donation bar, but there is no space below the donation bar. How do I ad some space there?

I find it more effective to add the donation bar to the navbar, so it displays on all pages. How do I place this on the archive pages?

[AWJunkies]

<br /> or <br> after the code $donationbar

[Alfa1]

Thanks!

[AWJunkies]

No problem at all.

I would add the <br /> to the donorbar template rather than edit the FORUMHOME template further. Both will work but its better to keep the stock templates as clean as possible.

I agree, I was just giving quick fix. Good call.

[tekguru]

It may well be worth noting that the :

$barimag = "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_poll]/bar2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"$donorbar%\" height=\"10\">";

codes within the XML are not XHTML complaint and should be as per:

$barimag = "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_poll]/bar2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"$donorbar%\" height=\"10\"/>";

to gain that requirement, that is the terminating '/' requires adding.

i dont want my guest to view the donation bar, how do i do that

[AWJunkies]

Updated the mod with a lot of code changes!! Sinister please upload it :)

It has a manual section to input the subscriptions and about to make a click able button to make it auto count and add the subscription amounts. Will be done with that in a second. Also CYB integration adding subscriptions to that as well the option. Also adding support in CYB donation mod for subscriptions.

Any requests for features let me know.

[sinisterpain]

Please follow the upgrade instructions or you will have problems with the template not being changed will fix issue shortly.

[Moncha]

Thank you for the update! Sounds like you are going down the right path(s) with this.

Thanks again!

[AWJunkies]

I fixed the template issues so you will have to delete donorbar template on your own but after that no more issues with floating template. The template and group is built into code now. SO if you delete the program it will delete everything and if you upgrade it will upgrade everything :)

You will have to DELETE the old mod and delete donorbar manually in your template ACP then UPLOAD the new XML and all good!


Hope you guys like all the new features I put in there.

[tekguru]

Looking good so far!

[AWJunkies]

I do not use subscriptions and need someone who does to export there tables regarding that program and send to me to test for the auto subscription amount add for donation bar.

[sinisterpain]

I sorted this with AWJUNKIES will release version with auto updating of Vb subscriptions for bar shortly. :D

[AWJunkies]

Finished it enjoy guys :)

[AWJunkies]

I have a new donation mod coming soon :) sinister hit me up tomorrow to take a look :)

[sinisterpain]

Vb Subscriptions are now automated with the donation bar. Please read the update instructions if updating from any version below 1.0.5.

[brvheart]

got a DB error when turning on CYB integration

[AWJunkies]

Did you change the CYB donations table name? Please post up the error so I can see it.

[maidos]

can you please answer my question?

how can i disallow the guest to view the donaton bar

[AWJunkies]

I am sorry for got to put the feature in the code :) Will do it right now. Release tomorrow.

Well I needed it for paypal mod so it is done now just waiting on sinister to get on comp to update. Will probably be after 4pm Eastern Time I think is when he gets off work.

[mrmike]

can you please answer my question?

how can i disallow the guest to view the donaton bar

Try


<if condition="$show['member']">
$donationbar
</if>

[Hex_legend]

How can I change from $ to £?

It was easy on the old template, but in this new update, there doesn't seem to be anything that says how / where..

I've looked in the donorbar template but can't find it.

[maidos]

thanks alot mrmike but where do i edit it?

[Alfa1]

Does this work on vb 3.7?

[sinisterpain]

thanks alot mrmike but where do i edit it?
Where ever you are showing the donor bar

[sinisterpain]

How can I change from $ to ??

It was easy on the old template, but in this new update, there doesn't seem to be anything that says how / where..

Look in your plugins for the title Donation Bar - Ext

near the bottom of the plugin code you will see this:
$drecieved = "We have received a total of $$damount in donations towards our goal of $$dgoal<br />";
Just change the highlighted red $ to whatever your currency is.

[AWJunkies]

Guys new release today added some more stuff. It has auto insert the $donorbar under the navbar. Has float or non float option. As well as usergroups allowed to view the bar. As well as changed alignment to left for title because of theme issues (instructions to change to follow). Also added where the bar appears which defaults to index and misc page for a merge with a donation system. Also cleaned code up slightly with if statements.

Enjoy!

Almost done with new donation system so stay tuned.

[REVHEAD]

Great stuff ,Exactly what I have been loooking for .
Simple, no fuss ,no messing around with bits of code,great for a beginner like me,and it does exactly what its supposed to do ,I love it ,many thanks.

[Moncha]

After some tweaking to get it to work in vbPortal it works great! Just what I was looking for also. Great Job!! I nominated it for MOTM even

[REVHEAD]

Just a question ,when I installed the mod today ,my friend donated $5 into my account ,and I recieved the payment but the progress bar and ammount recieved have yet to move? any ideas.

[AWJunkies]

It will only go up if A:

You have CYB Integration on in the donation bar mod and you have cyb donation mod installed and you have CONFIRMED the payment in CYB mod. You can do this by going to ( www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=donate_list ) and confirming it there in options on bottom right corner after you select on right side.

B:

If you have CYB integration off and don't have that mod you have to manually add the amount donated to you in donation bar ACP.

C:

There is no other way :)

Donation MOD almost done!!! I presume final release will be before monday.

[EUWI]

When upgrading to Version 1.0.7 please make sure you remove the
FORUMHOME template edit as its no longer required. Failure to do so will produce two donor bars on forum index page.

What info needs to be removed? I do have 2 bars as you indicated.

Thanks

[AWJunkies]

In your FORUMHOME template you previously added $donorbar in there just search for it and delete $donorbar. The new system has an auto insert for this now.

Also small update donations system works perfect may release early. Will do more testing later today and add some more features before the release.

[EUWI]

Great! That is what I needed. All fixed now.

[jretzer]

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. I went to my PayPal account and tried making a couple of buttons, but none of them look like the format of the one above. I'm not sure I understand that part.

Please help :)

did you make an encrypted buttin ? and paste the code in the box? once u do that refresh the page a few times and it should show up?

[Alfa1]

Any chance on a 3.7 version?

[satanreborn]

i made something for a forum i run a lot like this around a year ago, although it was more detailed on admin area's using paypal API..

Talking about a donation system or a donation bar?

This MOD is ONLY a donation bar not a donation SYSTEM totally two separate things but can work together.

I have a donation system that will be released by Monday using IPN. Just adding more features before first release :)

[AWJunkies]

Any chance on a 3.7 version?

What is happening with mod on 3.7.0? also FYI NO CODER should even mess with 3.7 until it has gone gold or has a stable final release. BETA IS NOT FOR LIVE SITES USE AT YOUR OWN RICK.

No mod should support a non final release version since code changes contently just doesn't make sense.

Looking forward to it!

[forumrunt]

I am putting in the amount donated and the bar is not moving at all. It is not updating with the amount donated I am putting in there

[sinisterpain]

I am putting in the amount donated and the bar is not moving at all. It is not updating with the amount donated I am putting in thereAre you using it with any vb donation system or a stand alone manual system

[forumrunt]

never mind I got it :)

[Alfa1]

Off course it is at ones own risk, but that does not mean that it does not work or that mods should not be updated. vB 3.7 beta 3 has most of the bugs ironed out. My site is running well with 1.2K concurrent users online. But yes, there always is a chance that a future code change creates the need to adapt the mod.

Please add support for other currencies, so that sites in other countries can use your addon as well. I would really like the Euro added.

Thanx for the sharing ;)
Question though --- is there a variable I can put in the * Portal Output Global Variables to get it to work on vBA pages? I tried donationbar and it still didn't show... And yes - I know there is a vBA module version - I don't want it.

Thanx,

Jacquii.

[Moncha]

Use the php code in the global_start pat of the plugin and the modify it. I use this on vBPortals and it works great.

Fixed this issue in 1.0.8 release also added the ability to change the currency symbol in the admincp donorbar options.

[tekguru]

Sounds good installing now!

[PoetJA-1975]

[maidos]

just wondering since i wanna only allow certain usergroups but how can that be done

[sinisterpain]

Go to your admincp->vbulletin options->Donation Bar-> there is a setting "Usergroups able to view Donations Bar (comma separated list of IDs)". Enter the respective usergroup ids as you wish.

[sinisterpain]

is there a variable I can put in the * Portal Output Global Variables to get it to work on vBA pages?
No there is no variable unfortunately and CMPS requires a module page to be created for using the intergration feature. This is through a plugin not a php file. You could just create a PHP file from the plugin and then a center module. Or If you wish I can make the module for you.

[maidos]

thank you, i never notice there was an update on the product :)

Hey Sinisterpain, nice mod =] but do you know how to make it appear in a specific forum ? I want to show it in my "announcement forum/section" not the main index forum " Forumhome"

[towermatt]

Hey Sinisterpain, nice mod =] but do you know how to make it appear in a specific forum ? I want to show it in my "announcement forum/section" not the main index forum " Forumhome"

I would love to do this as well. I have an announcements forum that would work much better than forumhome.

I haven't clicked install yet because I'm hoping this can be done.

Or...perhaps a way to move it to the bottom?

[sinisterpain]

Hey Sinisterpain, nice mod =] but do you know how to make it appear in a specific forum ? I want to show it in my "announcement forum/section" not the main index forum " Forumhome"

In your donorbar options look for the setting
"Show Donation bar on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)" remove index from the box and put forumdisplay.

[katie hunter]

Hey sinister I didn't understand what you just said, I didn't find an option of what you said in the admin panel about this

Also does this cause server load if it does, I can't really install it as I am already facing server load issues

[sinisterpain]

Go to admincp->vboptions->Donation Bar

You will see the above text in the options. Right now in the option box is the word index. Remove this from the box and put forumdisplay and save it.

The only thing that would cause server load is if you left the box empty which would display the bar on all pages.

[katie hunter]

I see the bar shows twice

I guess i installed this and didn't remove the code, how can i do that, i mean to make one bar appear not two

nvm fixed
